I must say....I was a skeptic. I have 3 Greyhounds, 2 Whippets and 1 Dachshund. The dogs are very active and do Lure Coursing, except for the weinie dog. So I had to have a good food to keep them in shape, active and healthy. I have tried many, many different foods trying to find one that worked with all my dogs. I had tried California Natural, Canidae, Natural Balance, Blue Wilderness, etc.... One of the dogs would always have a problem with the foods.

TOTW was recommended to me. It is grain free and was supose to help with skin issues, and with digestive problems. To my disbelief ALL the dogs are doing wonderful on this food. I have only used the High Prairie Canine Formula so far, but no smelly "wiffs" of air from the dogs and the Dachshunds skin issues are doing beautifully.

I would definitely recommend this for multi dog and multi breed homes.

My two year old Australian Cattle dog was constantly scratching and licking, I couldn't figure out what was wrong. Went to the Cannine Commisary in Dallas to see what they had to put on her and the guy begged me to try Taste of the Wild. What, change food, that seemed like a dumb idea...WRONG! I got a 5 lb. bag to test.....she loved it, then got 20 lbs., it's gone, going back for 40 lb. bag today, she needs to get a job! No more scratching and licking, I'm amazed, and I thought I was doing good with feeding her Purnia. She love it and I love her.....Thanks TOTW

My mother's american staffordshire terrier has been on Taste of the Wild Pacific Stream formula now for about 4 mos and she has improved tremendously from her previous state! She was eating science diet but I couldnt stand to see her suffer from allergies anymore and so did some research on better foods and I came across TOTW. She does not lick anymore, her coat is shinier and the doggy odor is gone. I really can see the difference in her and I know it is because she is getting a more nutritious diet.

We use Pacific Stream for 4 months now,and no complaints what so ever.

We have 2 dogs,german shepherd and collie mix,both seeeem to loveeeee this food,hair is shiny,no odour,no bad breath.

We ve been on this food for 12 months now,and are doing rotation of all 3 varieties and raw.
Just great food,that s all.

I'll give this 4 stars for now, but perhaps it deserves 5. I have self admittedly, over-educated myself on dog foods and now I don't want to feed my dog anything! Too busy to do the raw thing (and I'm vegetarian anyway), and currently feeding natural balance which seems to have too many grains. My puppy had a terrible reaction to Innova canned food, so I won't let him touch the stuff. After going to a local pet food boutique in my area, I decided to try the Wetlands formula per the recommendation of the store owner. My puppy loves it, and with a very gradual transition is doing great. Helped with gas and itching, almost immediately. The only bad thing about it is the questionable fish content, so we'll be avoiding the Pacific Stream and rotating for sure. This is the most reasonably priced, 6 star rated dog food on the dog food analysis website. Plus, if you look at the reviews here, I believe this food has the highest score I have seen. Very promising choice!

I am new at this,and this is my first dog,well my family did have dogs for my whole life,but this is first one that is 100% my responsibilty.
I took him to the vet 3 months ago,cause he was itchy and his stool was terrible,soft,smelly,and there was really lot of it,and vet said,,although he was on vet prescripted diet Royal Canine,this food was actually harming him,so he told us to switch to grain free.
We tried Orijen,but it wasn t working for us,there was some improvement,but still lots of gasses,and itching didn t stop,than we switched to Pacific Stream Taste of the Wild.
My Gosh,did I say it is good? It is great,he loves it,and he is not itchy anymore,his stoll was already better when he was eating Orijen,but now even itching and gas stopped.

Now,I am not an expert,but a vet where I went is(it is huge veterinarian clinic),and he says,this is one of best food they know about in last few years,many sattisfied clients,many healthy dogs there,while switching to TOW,I can only say,my baby is among them.

I bought a Boston Terrier puppy 2 month ago. When i brought her home she was on the puppy food the breeder had her on and i kept her on that food. Well, we got her home and she had really bad diarrhea. So, we brought her to the vet and after the medications and all she still had diarrhea. So, we took her off the puppy food and put her on a bland diet that the vet recommended. Then after a week of that we put her on her puppy food again and diarrhea. So, we decided to look for a new puppy food. We went to our local Tractor Supply Store and we found Taste of the Wild. So we bought a small bag of it. It was the high prairie canine formula. Well our boston puppy Roxie loved the food. Her diarrhea stopped and her stools are firm. We also noticed she has no more gas..We loved the ingredients to this food its all natural and no corn, by-products, or soy....This is some great food. I would recommend everybody to try this food.....

Newfy,I must say,that in future you should be more careful on what you reed,than on what you feed...
I read that web site,and that is an opinion of a mad woman(I yould make my own website and write on it whatever I want,just like she did,and if soemon have problems,or simptoms that I am describing,he/she will probably "buy" it),she writes bullshit,and by her opinion no dry dog food is safe,but than,on that same site,she gives 9 of 10 stars to the same brand,I mean,come on....
I feed with this brand for 2 years now,we have moved,so I did switched my supplier but food quality didn t change a bit.
I have all of my 3 amstaf,2 older girls,and a baby boy,on this brand,they all love it,and are doing perfect on it.
I would recomend this food to anyone that loves his dog,it has super quality ingredients,full of meat(over 50%),and no grains,dogs love the taste,it gives them perfect shiny coat,firm stool,and what more can I want from a dry food?
Tow is great stuff.

Terrible My dog became very sick and I almost lost her !!!! Check out this site

Dog Foods Dangeroug and Toxic
--TASTE OF THE WILD rated right up there at 79 - 80%

Along with that that it stated there is no nutritional value. The ingrediants that are listed here are not listed on the bag. I was horrified...to say the least.

Cooking is not my favorite thing to do, but for her I'll do it! I am so grateful she's still here with me...I cherish each second of everyday I have with her.

Thanks for reading.....just had to share what happened with us ......I DON'T want anyone to go through what I have just been through... BEWARE is all I can say....I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND THIS FOOD ...NEVER.........

After switching from raw to kibble,we had problems with itching and my boy was full of gas.
At the beginning of the year we have discovered that he doesn t tolerate grains,so we ve switched to grain free,the first one we have tried,didn t do the trick,he didn t like it,and got really skinny on it,,3 weeks after we have switched to TOTW wetlands,I can only say,wow,this is really the thing we were looking for.
I would recomend it to anyone that has a dog that doesn t tolerate grains,and also to all picky eaters.

I have three dogs - a chihuahua, a yorkie and an english bulldog. They were all hyper and making me crazy. I suspected that it was the food, but I wasn't sure. They were all on Eukanuba. I thought that I was doing a good thing by feeding them that until I did some research. It made sense that dogs be on a meat based food. Additionally, I was tired of buying two different sized food. One week later, all is calm. The kibble is small enough for my 3lb chihuahua and big enough for my bulldog. My bulldog is not boucing off of the walls. My yorkie is less yappy. And my chihuahua has stopped chasing his tail. My home is peaceful. I am actually saving money because they LOVE the taste of this food and I don't have to mix anything with it to get them to eat it. Of course their stool was a little runny during the transition, but that was one day. Of the top five rated dog foods this was the one of the cheapest. GREAT VALUE!

This is my third dog,and I must say,2 boys I had before,never even tried dry dog food,they have always eat a fresh made home meal,but now that I have kids and stuff,I have no time,so I had to use kibble,and I did try almost all grain free brands,cause from those with grains,my GS had so many problems,that it was a pure desister.
Now he is on TOW for almost 2 years,I can only say,I do believe now a dry food can be almost as good as home made,well,not that good,but almost has to be good enough sometimes

My dog's loved this food. Good ingredients and excellent nutrition. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars was because of the calorie content. It is very low in calories. My dogs all lost weight unnecessarily. I would definitely reccomend this to anyone with an older or overweight dog, but not someone with an active dog.

My boys are on it for over a year,all problems they had before are completely gone.
Now I can say for sure this is the brand I trust 100%.
As a matter affects,I am very pleased that it is made by Diamond cause they are the ones that didn t lie,or tried to hide their problems,unlike some did.
If there were 10 stars I would give all of them to this brand,but there are only 5 so 5 it is.

First off I want to state that I have fed raw for approx 19 months. With all the commercial recalls seemed the smart thing to to do. My dogs a 6 yo Rott and a 4 mo Aussie are fed an excellent diet with green tripe and alot of variety at no small cost to us. Purchased this food for my mothers new schnauzer and wanted to see what my dogs thought about it. Well, they inhaled it! This is the prairie formula. I know it's made by Diamond but please people, lotsa rice and meat companies have had recalls, not just Diamond. I think the smart thing to do is to stay away from grain in dog food. It has no place there. If the taste test is any indicator, I may go back to trusting kibble. Tina 4/7/09 Well can't get a definitive answer on the ethoxyquin, so I'am certain it's there. From my research, the company states that 240 degree processing the ethoxyquin, which they do not deny , is degraded. This is not true, it is simply changed to oxidized ethoxyquin. It's a real shame because everyone loves the taste. My Rotty has, however, had some bouts of gas and hyperactive bowel sounds. Will not take the risk of feeding ethoxyquin, so we're back to raw! Seems a little silly for this company to add a controversial ingredient as such a small part of the meat quantity. If the fish meal were taken out, would trust the food more.Tina

Pacific Stream is the only dry dog food that gives my dog a nice firm stool,shiny coat,and most important his seizures stopped totally.
This is the best food I can recomend to anyone,we tryed everything and were desperate for years,finally I can sleep and rest a while.

I have one epileptic cocker spaniel and another cocker spaniel that is severely allergic to grains. Grains are also not good for epileptic dogs. Taste of the Wild has been great for both of them. I have to buy it at a local feedstore since the retail pet stores in my area don't carry ANY grain free kibble. I pay around $46.00 for a 30 pound bag. Both of them love all of the Taste of the Wild varieties. You have to be careful about feed Innova EVO. It is no doubt a quality product, but it is extremely high in fat content (around 40%) and I know of cases of pancreatitis in dogs due to feeding such a high fat diet.

We ve tried all 3 formulas,and all 3 are great,but I find Pacific Stream to be the best for my 2 chihuauas

Two new puppies(Golden Doodles) came with Sportmix Dog Food, which is not found in our area. We tried Eagle Pack, Canidae, Royal Canin,Science Diet and Kirkland all with some problems,ie bad gas, one puppy would not eat it, to bad diarrhea all the food was tried with a week intro to the new food with no luck....While at the feed store the clerk said he had a torn bag of Taste of the Wild would I want to try it. It got good reviews at Rateitall Dog Food so I said why not. BINGO the puppies have love this food from the get go and are doing Great gaining and growing like crazy. Bottom line is not all dogs will like all the same food and some will have go by Trial and Error until you find a food your puppies love that is good for them and Taste of the Wild is a Great Dog Food.

If you want your dog to have shiny coat,no problems,and if you want him to be happy,this is the stuff you should use.

I did try Innova and Orijen,I can only say,Diamond outscored itself this time.
My dogs poop ,hair and teeth are better than ever.
And point is this is the only food that doesn t give him gass.

This food is better then most store brands, but, it still is not as great as Innova, or Orijen or other companies like that. But, for the price, it will be hard to beat this brand. It still has some suspect ingredients, and it's a Diamond company.

We have been feeding our 5 year old golden retriever mix home made food(meat + vegetables),but now I started working,and I don t have time to make home prepared meals for him all the time.
I just want to spend all the time I have playing with him,not in the kitchen.
I ve been searching for a good kibble for last 2 years,we ve tried blue seal,timberwolf,evo,but before we ve found tow,nothing seemed to work for him.
Now everything is just perfect,his apetit,hair,health,he is just doing great on this food.
I ve been feeding him for last 6 month on High Prairie,but now,since it is getting wormer outside,I am switching him to Pacific Stream,less fet,less proteins,less calorie,same quality.
I like this food,and I am rating it 5 stars.

We've got a 10.5 yr old boxer/bully mix that we've recently switched from Timberwolf Organic Blue over to TOTW Pacific Stream. Our boy is not a picky eater who inhales every meal, so he's not the best subject for a taste test. He also has pretty sever food allergies to most proteins, but does seem to tolerate fish based diets much better then other protein based diets.

There have been some noticeable changes with our dog's digestive system since we've made the switch. For whatever reasons, for the past several mos the Timberwolf did not seem to agree all that well with his system as his stools were becoming increasingly loose/runny and he seemed to produce a lot of gas. We gradually switched him over to the TOTW and once the switch was mostly complete, his stools really firmed up with appropriate volume and the gas problems disappeared. For our dog, we believe the Timberwolf formula may have just been too rich for his system to tolerate.

The price is also a major positive as compared to some of the more highly regarded grain free kibble products on the market. For a high quality kibble, the TOTW is very reasonably priced IMO around $40 + tax for the large bag in my area. In comparison the Timberwolf was running from $65 to $80 + tax for same size bag. However, the Timberwolf is more caloric dense, so it does take more of the TOTW to provide the same amount of kcals.

The list of ingredients and guranteed analysis reads well (assuming the label is accurate). There seems to be varying opinions on how high the protein content should be depending on the lifestage of your dog with some recent studies suggesting higher protein levels to be better for senior dogs. This product seems to offer a moderately higher level (which were comfortable with) as compared to many foods, but still nowwhere near the protein found in Orijen fish for example, so if you're looking for ultra high protein food, Orijen might be something to look at. As noted in other reviews I've read, there don't appear to be any statements that the food is Ethoxyquin free, so that may leave some concern in some folks minds.

On the downside, our dog's coat does not appear to be as smooth and shiny as when he was on the Timberwolf and his skin seems a bit more dry, but we've started supplementing with additional fish oil so hopefully that will improve the skin and coat.

Also, after purchasing our most recent bag, we've noticed some variation in shape and color of the kibble vs. the previous bag we purchased. We used to experience some of the same with the Timberwolf, so not sure if some variation from lot to lot is normal and to be expected.

All things considered, we're pretty happy with the results we're seeing from this food thus far. Main reason for not giving 5-star rating is due to seeing a slight deterioration in coat condition vs when he was on the Timberwolf, but overall, this appears to be a solid product with a pretty decent track record from most of the people that have put it into their feed rotation. Of course, what works for one dog may not work well for the next, so as always, YMMV.

I found the Pacific Stream formula after I found out our GSD was allergic to grain. I was considering this or EVO and found that this was good for all life stages so my 5 y.o. GSD and his 9 w.o. sister can both enjoy it. It is also alot more reasonably priced than the EVO. I love their ingredients and my dogs love the food. 2 weeks after feeding my his I cant believe how beautiful their coats are and his skin has completely cleared up. I highly recommend this food!

Since they first showed up,I have been feeding my dogs nothing but grain free brands.
I did rotate it from time to time,cause I couldn get them to like the one that they did their best on,but the one that gave them gass and softer stool.
After finding Pacific Stram TOW,we finally have both.
They just loved it from the first time they ve tried it,gases are gone,and the stool is perfect.
I do however still feed them raw twice a week,but I am not rotating anymore,cause I see they are doing great on TOW,and there is no need to.

I have a boxer, as you know these dogs have very sensitve belly's. Taste of the Wild has helped in many ways! The main points are: she has no gas, her anal glands do not have to be suppressed, she is satisfied and has no health problems. She has been on this food for almost 2 years and I highly reccomend this brand of food, and the price is very competitive. She is happy and I'm happy. We alternate between all three flavors and they all work.

I have tried several types of food with my chihuahuas and this one is the best so far. i tried nutro, and canidae and both gave them the really runny loose stool. they have only been on this food for a little over a week and i have already noticed a huge difference in their stool. the gas has stopped completly. the only down side is that its made by diamond... but the way i see it is that every company has some sort of a down fall now and then, and it was several years ago that the incident happend. i really like this brand and that its grain free is amazing!

My dogs are eating this food and they LOVE it. And I know that is it a good quality food. I am VERY happy with it, and it's price!

My girls didn t care for Pacific Stream,but High Prairie they eat like no kibble before.
Everything is perfect,from nose to tail so to say.
We ve been on this for over a year. I do however rotate it with RAW and Wetlands,but mostly they are on High Prairie.

Great food.

This is a fantastic food with great results for all 3 of my dogs! The fact that Diamond makes it shouldn't be a deterrent, it's a grain free food-- the recall was for tainted grain. This food has been recommended by countless vets.

My dogs LOVE this food. I feed my babies only no grain dog foods and I switch them between this and Orijen. Some people might think that the cost is prohibitive but for my dogs, 1 bag of this will last a little over 3 weeks (2 feedings daily)and my dogs aren't small (siberian husky & black lab/golden retriever mix).
I recently got my neighbor to switch her pets to a no grain diet and she has noticed a marked improvement in her pets activity levels, bad breath is gone, and they are eating/pooping less.

Yes,it is made by Diamond,and yes it is the best food we have tried so far. My boys are doing great on it. We had severe problems,with our midle dog ,he had diarrhea all the time,it is cause he was allergic to grains,after that we ve switched to some non grain food,but it was too high in protein for him,and since his kidney function isnt 100 % ok,he had to swithced to a lover protein diet,finally we ve found TOW Pacific Stream. Now we are eating it for 6 months,and we are doing great on it,we just had a vet check up last week,and vet told us Pasco is better than ever,all thanks to TOW.
I know Diamond had some problems,but they didn t hide it,they didn t try to "put it under carpet" like some others did.
Go to FDA list,and look for recall list, Royal Canine(the worse food we ve tried,especially for the price you are paying) for example had a major recall ,but they are silent about it,and almost every brand had somekind of recall,problem is,everyone is picking on Diamond,cause they are largest corporation,and in the mean time,everyone else is going "without punishment".
And I did try to find out current Diamond status,when it comes to safety and quality,and they have some 99/100 points ,so,that is really good enough for me.
I ve found several experts on food agree with me,Diamond had its problems,but who didn t?
Problem is most of them did "get away" with it,and Diamond didn t,so I do know a company that makes the food I ve been feeding my dogs with,did had some problems,but what do you know about yours?
TOW and Wellnes Core,are the best dog foods I ve ever tried,and I sure will not give them up,cause everyone knows of some problems in the past,but would give up of those that I find out did try to hide it.
But again,it is just me.

Does anyone know what company this dog food is from? I heard it was from Diamond, one of the companies that made the tainted dog food where lots of dogs died. Look it up, try to find the company name that makes this.... it's not easy, I wonder why? And I'm not sure I want to give them another chance, if it is them.

My 18 week old boxer will eat the Canine formula if I mix it with peanut butter. I seem to always have picky dogs. She has been on it for 4 weeks now. I will say that she has lots of gas but then again she is a boxer. I may rotate this food with something else. We will see. But first I will use this food for another month and then switch to some other natural no grain brand and see the difference.

My dogs didn t care for salmon,but they simply love wetlands,allergy problem is gone,bad breath is gone,all the problems they had,are behind us.
I do have one dog that doesn t care for neither of formulas,but I keep her on WC,and rest of gang simply does great on this kibble.
Really a great product.

Ingredients are great and my girl loves the flavors...not the fish as much, but she'll still "wolf it down". : )

She does great on this, her fur is super soft, her feces are smaller, and the shedding seems to have subsided a great deal. I love the concept of no grain, but some of the other brands just had too much protein and she didn't do so great digestively with those. She is thriving on this. This will be a new, permanent addition to her rotation.

My 3 dogs love this food , I have 2 Border Collies and 1 Australian shepherd.I highly recommend this food the quality is great there are less stools and there coats are shiny . I believe the salmon is best because of the lower protein that's better in the long run for there kidneys.

Great dog food. my 6 year old collie loves it,and is doing great on it.
We ve been feeding him with TOW for like 8 months now.
No allergies,no anal glands problems,nothing! Great food.

I have an 11 years old poodle,first time in her life,she eats dry food without anything mixed in it.
Her stool is great. And teeth visibly cleaner.

I am feeding my GR puppy the TOW for 3 months now, I have switched from the Innova which wasn't very tasty to him and made him gassy. In the beginning I was very happy and he seemed to like the food without me adding anything to it. He looks very good, his stools are excellent and his coats is beautiful. I have though noticed recently that he always seems hungry. He eats much more than recommended on the bag, and outside it seems like he's always with the nose on the ground trying to fins something to eat (bad dog!). It gets expensive if I need to buy him a huge bag every two weeks. I may switch to something else eventually.

cheap food with a low protein value for a supposed grain free.

I think its a great food. And I know its made by diamond, but most of the people who gave it a bad rating because it was made by Diamond didn't mention that their pets had a bad reaction to it, so unless your pet didn't actually do good with it, don't give it a bad rating.

my 4 years old GS just loves this food.
His allergies are gone,I can just say thank you TOW.

I've been feeding TOW Pacific Stream formula to my APBT now for almost 6 months and the results are amazing. We found he s allergic to all grains, including rice. He had inflamed itchy, flaky skin, yeasty red ears, run-you-out-of-the-room gas, and his anal glands clogged at least once a month. We had tried so many foods that TOW was just one more in the long line. I didn't expect the great results we've seen for our dog. He stopped itching within days of the total transition and his ears were less red. After six months, he has a beautiful coat and clear skin. His ears are completely clean. He only gets them wiped out at bath time now. The smelly gas is gone and he's had no more anal gland problems. We are able to feed less food and maintain a great weight and his stools are smaller and solid. This food may not be for every dog as each dog is an individual but it has made a world of difference for my dog.

I had been feeding my two Chinese Cresteds Eukanuba Sensitive Skin for months until I was informed that the formulation had changed and was compared to "grocery store" quality. I purchased my first bag of Taste of the Wild and one of my cresteds had a severe allergic reaction to something in the food. It took me a few days to realize it was his food. His abdomen was flaming red and he was scratching non-stop. The ingredients looked wonderful. I then discovered that it manufactured by Diamond. Coupled with my dog's allergic reaction and Diamond's questionable reputation, I stopped feeding them Taste of the Wild immediately. This food is highly rated based on its ingredients but if it makes your dog sick, the ratings mean nothing. I have since read several warnings about feeding such high protein foods to your dog due to the potential long term health risks and that it should not be fed to puppies. I don't want food that needs a warning label.

have had it for about a month. Our two puggles love it so far, better and cheaper than wellness core. The only con is that they have smelly farts once in a while, but that is expected with any high protein food.

After surching for a grain free dog food,that fits my dogs perfectly,I finally found something that I can say is best thing Americas invented.
Thank you TOW for my healthy dogs,and happy life!!

best kibble,reasonable price,dogs love it,what more do you need!!!
