Posted in Food. I then asked where are they sourcing their vitamins and minerals from they also refused to tell me. She got extremely hateful with me.
I told her then you are not the transparent company I want to be doing business with. She the said she would have her nutrition or analyzer person call me.
They never called. So a company that lists the ingredient on the packaging as the 7th ingredient, you need to be sceptical of. I have since gone to Farmina.

It is the same thing with the High Prairie formula — Roasted Bison and Roasted Venison — these two advertised meats fall 7th on the list of ingredients.
TOTW has become such a shady company I can no longer trust. If any of the commenters wish to be helpful regarding the Taste Of The Wild dog food please be specific with which variety of TOTW they have had issues with.
Is it the Fowl, Salmon, Boar, etc. I have only been using one variety, the canine variety with bison and venison and have not had an issue whatsoever. Going on 2 years now and it is currently July They started out with another brand before I switched them to TOW. Since I switched them, they seem healthier and more active if you can believe that a GSP can get any more active than they normally are than the lethargic dogs I had while feeding them the other brand.
It turns out that the other brand was not grain free and was made mostly from corn, wheat and other grain related ingredients. I have not had health issues with them related to feeding them TOW. Overall, they are healthy and active.
The brand we have been using is the totw Sierra Mountain as it has always been ranked as the best for GSD s since We have been feed Taste of the Wild for 5.

They mentioned 3 taste of the wild versions, and first on the list is roasted bison and venison, what I have been feeding my german shephard for 5 years. I have had all of my animals on TOTW for over 11 years and have had no health issues. My dog is has been on the wild boar mix and now I saw the ancient grain mixes so I am mixing the two together.
I do give my dog organic treats and a couple of raw eggs once a week. He looks and acts like a puppy still. Be careful with vaccinations and shots if your animals are having skin allergies. Just saying. I just thought of this, some dogs bolt their food, whole!
Because they will gulp it down and not chew once if given to them in a normal bowl. Since we have always known that about these 2,we just use the right bowls.
My daughter has been feeding her dog the Bison one for years. He recently passed due to a massive cancerous growth on his face. Has anyone tried to join in the law suit?

Diamond has had a history of recalls due to aflatoxins, concerns about Salmonella, and production issues at least since around , including a large recall in , and many consumers have lost confidence in the company and the products they produce. Since their earlier recalls, Diamond says today they use quality checks to ensure the quality of their products. However, the company issued a recall in May for many of their products, including Taste of the Wild, after a Salmonella outbreak linked to their South Carolina plant.
Taste of the Wild dog foods feature grain-free formulas that are said to be made based on what dogs would eat in the wild. The foods emphasize better taste, highly digestible energy, and natural antioxidants to support a healthy immune system and overall health.
They have four adult formulas available in dry and canned versions and two puppy formulas available in dry versions. The food has been very popular with pet owners seeking a premium grain-free food for their dog at a fairly reasonable price. Taste of the Wild also makes cat foods using the same philosophy. I have had samples of these foods and let my dogs try them.
They loved them. You can see from looking at the first five ingredients in this food that the emphasis is on animal sources of protein. Below you will find a brief explanation of each of these ingredients:.
Buffalo is a fresh meat and a good source of zinc and iron. It is also important to note that buffalo is a complete protein — it contains all of the essential amino acids your dog needs. Lamb Meal — At one time lamb was often recommended for dogs with allergies because it was a novel protein 25 years ago I know — I had a dog with allergies at that time and I had to cook lamb for him every night.
But lamb is such a common ingredient in dog foods today that its presence is not very remarkable. This is another ingredient with lots of protein. Chicken Meal — Like lamb meal, chicken meal is actually an incredibly valuable source of protein.
The food that your dog eats goes through his system much more quickly than the food we eat. But dogs still can use some good quality carbs for energy.
A good source of carbs such as sweet potatoes also adds fiber to the diet. In addition to dietary fiber, sweet potatoes contain vitamins A and C, iron, calcium, and beta carotene. They are a complex carbohydrate they go on providing energy instead of releasing sugars in a quick burst, too.
