This is great dog food,and yes,Lexi Pooh,I had just the situation you are talking about,for years I ve been trying to find what suits best to my oldest dog,a labmix Roxanne,she had problems with almost everything we ve tried,even raw beef sometimes gives her runny stools,but than I ve noticed,when she eats raw fish,these problems don t seem to appear,so after High Prairie,that we were using for months,I ve left two of my younger dogs on it,but switched Roxanne to TOW paciffic stream,boy did it went well!!
She looks perfect and better than ever,her stool is so firm,and no anal gland problem what so ever.
Her hair is gorgeous,and I can say this is the best food I ve ever tried(and I did try many of the great food,Orijen,Wellnes,Timberwolf).

And yes it is made by Diamond,but after all the recalls,and some companies keeping their mouth shut,I feel really confident feeding Diamond food,they were honest about it,and yes,mistakes happen,it doesn t make me feel or think lees of them,as matter affects,I have pretty high opinion on them,regarding that.
This is definitely the best food for us,and we are sticking with it,would recomment it to anyone,perfect!!

Taste of the Wild (Roasted Bison) has been the perfect food for my male Boxer. There are a handful of other premium foods that seem to work well, but Taste of the Wild is consistantly palitable. He seems to love the taste. Also, gas, which can be eye-watering from foods like Canidae, is very minimal with TOTW. Stool is firm, so he seems to be digesting it well.

I would like to know if anyone has had major allergy reactions to certain dog food but after trying TOWPacific, thier dog has gotten better?
I have a beautiful 100lb girl lab and I've had dogs before and have never gone through allergies with them but my girl now has sneezing attacks scratching on the side and bumps on her belly...:(
I am concern with her but has anyone gone through this, feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Let me start off by saying this: a raw diet IS ideal for a canine companion, but not economical nor convenient for most people in the working class. Now that we have that out of the way - anyone who comes on here and gives Taste of the Wild one star just because YOU feed your dogs raw meat is not helping anyone and just makes you look like an idiot.

I have been feeding Taste of the Wild to my dogs for the past 6 months. I buy all 3 formulas and give a different one every meal time. My dogs have never had digestive issues, their coats are shiny, and their skin is healthy; even my picky eater is excited to chow down no matter what the flavor of the day is! It is really the best food you can get for the price.

Now, let me address a couple of topics people have mentioned on this forum...

1. This whole preservative nonsense is just ridiculous. Have you read the ingredients labels on the food YOU eat? There are preservatives everywhere! Another poster has already shown the response from the Taste of the Wild staff explaining (and not denying) the the amount of ethoxyquin that exists in the pacific stream formula - it is practically non existent! COME ON PEOPLE! The FDA has approved the use of aspartame in diet sodas as a sweetener after 7 rejections! IT IS A DEADLY INGREDIENT! Yet we are all still alive. Interesting. So before ridiculing this food because you're an idiot, do some research.

2. Taste of the Wild brand and Diamond brand food is made by the same people. SO WHAT!? Natura makes Innova, Evo, and California Natural. Merrick has their original formulas, but also makes Before Grain. And Iams and Eukanuba are the same company. (Oh sorry, is this a holistic pet food forum exclusively?) Anyway, the point is Taste of the Wild is manufactured in a different plant than Diamond. The recall of Diamond should not scare anyone. Even our precious peanut butter has been recalled, but we still eat it now that it's OK again.

I work at a pet supply store and have seen my share of unhealthy, overweight dogs. People come in all the time and buy the cheapest garbage food for their dogs full of corn (by the way, Science Diet is mostly corn and by-products - Veterinarian Recommended? Only because they SPONSOR those particular Vet offices - Tell everyone you know!!!). This shovel food causes a myriad of problems down the road, but all these people care about is cost. It happens everywhere. Anyone who is nit picking at the ingredients in one of the best, grain free, economically friendly, and holistic pet foods (yes I am talking about Taste of the Wild) is wasting their time.

My Dogs couldn't be happier eating this food, and *WOAH!* I can afford it! Feed your dogs this food! You will not be disappointed! Though I must caution those who feed their dogs low grade foods like Kibbles n Bits or Beneful (and the like) - you might want to go to California Natural first, it is a great transition food into the holistics. Some dogs might react negatively to the high fibrous extracts and high protein content (from REAL MEAT) in the Taste of the Wild and might have some digestive upset but give it time. I'm proud to feed my dogs Taste of the Wild!

Our 11 year old golden retriever was on Natural Balance Duck and Potato and doing quite well for a long time. Then they changed the formula with no sticker on the bag (on all their varieties) and she became sick with diarrhea. We then tried Blue Buffalo and had similar results. Then we tried Taste of the Wild and she has been diarrhea-free. She loves the Wetlands Canine Formula with Roasted Fowl. We highly recommend it!

My wolf-dog mix was days away from kidney failure - even though I fed her "high-quality" expensive foods like Nutro. I switched to Natural Balance, which worked, but it's very costly. Then one day I came across Taste of the Wild. Wow! What an amazing dog food - at any price!

Needless to say, she is now thriving. At ten years old she still has the energy of a puppy, and no health problems of any kind.

I feed the High Prairie formula - she doesn't like the Salmon - but I do add fish oil two or three time's a week. Also, I use the kibble, so I make sure to add plenty of water and let it soak a bit. And, I add 1/4 pound of fresh meat - ground turkey, pork, etc. She loves it, and like I said, no health problems of any kind.

I convinced a friend to feed his 11 year old black lab the Salmon formula. She was barely able to walk and had vision problems. Now, she's running and taking long walks again, and her vision has improved.

I can't say enough - I wish everyone would feed their puppies and dogs this wonderful food!

My dogs were on Nutra Gold,Orijen and Wellnes,but since they are both neutered we decided to try to find lover protein diets,so we switched to Paciffic Stream and Blue Bufalo.
Great decision.
They are doing great,look better than every ,and stool is just perfect.
Great dog food.

I have a ST Bernard and a Boxer, they both liked the taste but niether ever got adkusted to it. Seems to be good food though.

we have tried the wetlands formula and my 3 mo old lab loves it. (even my cat loves it!) my 1 yr old terrier eats it a little slower, however. we switched from benniful which was giving my dogs a raw bottom and loose stools. the TotW food cleared it up. they had some mild constipation for a couple days bit their bottoms are healthy and so is thier stool after two weeks of using it. my dogs have tons more energy (too much for me!) and they put on a healthy layer of fat for winter. they were looking kind of skiny on benniful. my only complaint is that they have very bad gas. even the dogs leave the room for fresh air and i'm not exaturating! i'm going to try the wild game and see if that will stop or at least lessen the gas problem.
i'm just updating my review. we tried the high prarie formula and my dogs (or cat) won't touch it unless there is pumpkin AND plain yougart on it. not sure why...just diferent i guess.

I was hestitant to try this yet because I thought it might be too rich for my little girl yet. However they were out of the can of food I wanted so I grabbed a can of the prairie. This morning I mixed in about a tablespoon with her dry food and let me tell you she ate every bit of it and left her dry food. She did of course come back an hour and a half later and eat the rest. She hasn't had any ill effects, though I will update as we use this more. I went back today and bought a can of the wetlands also to try next week. It usually takes about a week for her to finish a can. The only thing that did surprise me is I expected it to be the usual mix of mush like most dog foods, but it's nice little chunks with gravy and I can see some vegetables like peas. I can only assume the rest of the ingredients are formed into these chunks since it says there's way more than what I see in there. Overall I think this is the one Emma has been most enthusiastic about yet, Merrick better watch out as that's been her favorite up to now. I think I've found another keeper for our rotation. I will be keeping her on the Innova puppy dry for at least a couple more months but when she's older I will definitly consider trying their dry in rotation, also. This dog will certainly never get bored of her food!

I'm writing this review because I know how frustrating it could be when your new puppy has bad diarrhea.
I have 5 months old French Bulldog that I got from a breeder about 3 months ago.
From the beginning he had really mushy and loose stools. Slowly we changed his dry food from Eukanuba to California Natural but there was no improvement. Chicken and rice diet, Pumpkin, Yogurt, and probiotics....nothing worked. It was getting worse and worse and finally he was dripping fresh blood from his bottom. We took him to a vet and got all kinds of exams including fecal (Cocci,Giardia,parasites) but they found nothing. The vet prescribed me some Anti-diarrhea pills, Antibiotics, and Science Diet I/d canned food. I never ever wanted to give him Science Diet but it was our last choice and vet's advice...I gave it a try.
I saw no improvement on first day but second day he will just sleep all day and did not
even touch the food. By the third day, he was vomiting and diarrhea every 30 minutes.
That's it. I researched and researched and narrowed the foods down to this Taste of the Wild brand. I read some good reviews regarding dogs with digestion problem. I bought a bag from a local pet store and gave him a cup right away..(I did not mix it with the old food because he was having bad diarrhea anyway..)
Exactly three hours later, not three days...3 HOURS!! His stool was back to normal.
3 weeks of chronic bloody diarrhea....stopped 3 hours after he ate brand new diet.
I could not belive...and still cannot belive how easy it could have been. All the vet bills, 3 weeks of emotional stress, cleaning up the watery mess, most importantly my pup's pain....everything is now history. Maybe he was allergic to grain? I don't know...(We tried feeding him chicken only too)
I just wanted to share my story with some pet owners who might experiencing same situation that I had. Maybe there are cheaper and better foods for some dogs but I'm going to stick with this one for a while since it saved my little one.

After months of trying other top foods my two lab mix dogs are finally rid of their issues. One had dry skin due to allergies to several foods - grains, chicken, eggs and who knows what else. My other lab mix had digestive issues - did not digest her food - big,long poops. As a result of not retaining her food she also had 2 seizures. For both the vet recommended we switch their food ....and are we happy we found this - they eat the salmon formula. After just a short period of time on their new food, lab 1 has shiny,soft black hair while lab 2 now has small poops. They LOVE their food. Believe me, they had been on other pricey brands - five different ones - over the last 3 years, and this is the only one that has helped both of them out. I f you are frustrated with other dog foods - please try this one. It has worked miracles for both of our babies - !!!!

After using some other Diamond brands, we decided to try TOTW. We have been more than pleased with this product. This truly is the top of the line. This food can be matched against any other out there in any aspect EXCEPT price....just about 3/4 the price of the comparable other Brands. They also make complimentary canned formulas to go with the dry. This one will stay in the rotation for sure!!!

I am trying the TOTW Pacific Stream Salmon on my Aussie/Heeler. She loves it. I am currently using the rotation diet- one month Innova chicken , one month TOTW Salmon, one month Evo red meat large bites. After reading the comment on the ethoxyquin used in the salmon in TOTW I emailed them and this is the reply:


Thank you for your inquiry.

Taste of the Wild Pet Foods does not add ethoxyquin to any of the formulas.

Fish meal is required by law to be preserved with ethoxyquin. Ethoxyquin is most effective at preventing rancidity in the highly volatile fish meal. Rancidity in ingredients can lead to severe illness.

Most of the ethoxyquin is destroyed in the cooking process, requiring other preservatives to be used. Tests for ethoxyquin are run routinely on Taste of the Wild products. The results are typically less than 5ppm. The amount allowed, and considered to be safe, by the FDA is 75ppm.

Fish meal is an important ingredient that provides quality amino acids and omega-3 fatty acids. These nutrients are important for all aspects of a healthy life, including great skin and coat, control of inflammation and a strong immune system.

Sincerely,
Dr. Brookshire

So after this email you can make up your own mind if this is too much ethoxyquin for your dog. My aussie is 3, full of energy, bright eyes, bright white teeth, lots of energy so she runs with me every day, great smelling breath despite the fish. I Couldn't ask for more. I find this rotation diet good, only thing better would probably be for me to cook for her and currently thats not an option. She has very minimal stools twice a day. Another thing: she seems to know when she is getting the TOTW because she starts dancing on her back legs, and does not do that for the Evo nor the Innova.

After loosing our beloving pet due to problems related to digestion,we have been feeding our other dog only RAW,than I got pregnant and had no more time for all that,we decided to try some of best kibbles on the market,on Orijen,let s just say he didn t do well,didn t do well at all,than we ve tried Innova,and it seemed to work for a month,but than his fur got all dull,and his stool was never ok,than our vet advised us to try TOW,so we have been on this diet for almost a year now,and I can say only we are 100% sattisfied with absolutely everything.
This is really the best food ever.

We have a one year Old English Mastiff. At 160#s, she is still a very "fussy" eater. I understand the mind set of a raw diet and I appreciate the people who take the time to prepare that for their animals. However, with TOTW added to our raw food, our Soleil cannot get enough. With the other grain free dry foods, what she dropped on the floor...remained there. Not with TOTW. I believe it to be the best food for the money and totally agree with the other posts...her fur is shiny, her teeth and breath are always fresh and she has the energy to run at 15 miles an hour all day long. Plus...her poo smells like warm biscuits...and believe me, you do not want a Mastiff's poo to smell rank.

My dog loves the 3 flavors. Excellent ingredients, with very limited fillers. No problems with gas, runny stools as of yet. I would recommend this food easily. Also, this food is very economical.

Reviewing Taste of the Wild Wetlands dry dog food:

Taste of the Wild (or TOTW, as it's called in pet food circles) is another of the current crop of high protein, low carbohydrate, grain free foods. Diamond's TOTW is probably the lowest quality of the bunch, comparing to brands like Innova EVO, Wellness CORE, Orijen, Acana, Prairie Instincts, and others. Still a good food, but there are plenty of other options for this type of diet. The only real attraction of this food is that TOTW, like all Diamond products, is quite a bit cheaper than some of it's competitors. However, you get what you pay for... and with this food, you pay less money, you get less nutrition.

My dogs didn't do well at all on it, their BM smelled awful and it made them have soft trips outside, I didn't like it at all. I wouldn't recommend it.

I was feeding my dogs Natural Balance. My bulldog had to eat the sweet potato and fish formula bc of food allergy.
We just started switching over to the pacific stream TOTW a couple of weeks ago.
My two smaller dogs have even smaller poop on this than on NB and my dachshund has much more energy.
We are just adding half TOTW to the bulldog Brodie's food as he is sensitive to things but so far even his poop has got smaller and firmer! that's a good thing when u live in a condo and have doggies that use potty mats!

As for the choline chloride- I looked it up and it helps in brain function!

Someone else also mentioned ethoxyquin, this was also a concern to me and I emailed them. The food they get goes through a heat process that would destroy any preservatives that their supplier uses and they don't add any ethoxyquin after this, Diamond preserves their food with vitamin e.

I think this is a top notch food for the price!
Even if it doesn't work out for my bulldog I will still feed it to the other two dogs.

I have a 15 month old Beagle who is very energetic. I've researched dry foods and this particular brand was recommended to me by a number of people whose dogs have shown fantastic results after switching. I was reserved at first, mostly because I didn't want to get my hopes up that this would solve my dog's skin issues. Before switching her to this food, she had dry, itchy skin and little to no shine to her coat. Now, her skin has cleared up completely and has shiny, healthy fur. I have also noticed an increase in her energy, and boy, did I think she was hyper before.

To anyone who says this food has fillers, it has absolutely none. The main ingredients are what they should be, MEAT. Not corn, not dog intestines, meat. The previous brand I fed my dog was so loaded with these that my pup would slowly graze on it, while with this food she's lined up and ready for breakfast and dinner.

I do not think anyone that has researched would dispute people who say Raw is the best diet for a dog, it is indeed the best possible route you can go. If you are like me, grossed out and horrified at the thought of chopping up animals, this food is one of the top foods you can buy your pet.

seriously, you guys spend so much time researching and so much money throwing away dry food that does not do what you want or you have problems with, that it makes me laugh. just as the only true way to lose weight is to eat less and exercise more and not waste money on miracle pills and gimicks, the BEST dog food is the raw diet. thats what you all are hopeing to imitate while using processed, chemical laden, preservative filled garbage and are at the same time trying to tell the world how much your dogs mean to you. if they really meant all that and you really were that concerned then you would take the time to get thru the learning curve of a raw diet. try the one from "Natures Farmacy". its easy and perfect. anyone can do it. i have 5 poodles and i have gotten my daily feeding time down to 20 minutes or less and i feed an excellent raw diet for $1.00 a pound by being a smart shopper. most people dont eat this well, but i truely do love my dogs and they are worth the extra bit of time and i actually SAVE money from what those "high quality" bags of crap cost.
today my dogs lunch consisted of canned pumpkin, frozen garden style vegitables, cubed beef and chicken necks. the neck bones are soft and give them calcium and glucosamine and they are 50 cents a pound.
so stop wondering why you cant get perfection from imperfect food.
i will challange you this. make up a bowl of raw diet food and put a bowl of dry food next to it and ask yourself which you think is the better nutrition for your dog.
then apologize to your dog for having fed them the same gross brown dry chemicals everyday for years on end.

After a disastrous experience with Timberwolf, we kept searching for a different grain free food that our two dogs would eat. We went through Natural Balance, Orijen, and Innova Evo. At first, they liked Natural Balance, but became very picky about it after a few months. They just never seemed to like the taste of Orijen or Innova Evo. When we switched to TOTW, they loved it from the first bowl. We give them the chicken in the morning and the fish in the afternoon and have done so for about 4 months now. This is the first dog food in years where they have enthusiastically gobbled down their food as soon as I set it down. Their health and overall appearance is great.

After enduring 8 years of less than enthusiastive meal times, our four Spinone Italiani began their introduction to TOTW in May of this year. Now they line up at meal time and breakfast, tongues hanging, tails wagging and yes, sometimes even pushing me to fee them faster. They love it and feeding time now is like it should be.............full of enthusiasm!!!!!!!!!!

The food is not guaranteed to be ethoxyquin free, a preservative that causes cancer.

Which means they use ethoxyquin, to preserver fish meal type products.

Get Orijen. It is more expensive, but is ethoxyquin free. Wellness core is also free of it but i have read some nasty stories from that stuff.

This food has all of the ingredients I've read about as being important. The only ingredient I'm questioning is: choline chloride. I love that it has antioxidants and biomega's! My Golden Retriever loves it!

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.

My Boston had diarrhea and terrible gas when we got her. When we switched her over to taste of the wild her diarrhea went away and so did her gas. She has nice firm poop now and her coat is shiny and she loves the food. Way to go TOTW...We are very very happy with the food and recommend everyone to try it and see for yourselves...

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.
