Taste of the Wild Wetlands Formula

Dry Dog Food

Estimated Dry Matter Nutrient Content

Protein = 36% | Fat = 20% | Carbs = 36%

Ingredients: Duck, duck meal, chicken meal, egg product, sweet potatoes, peas, chicken fat (preserved with mixed tocopherols), potatoes, roasted quail, roasted duck, smoked turkey, natural flavor, tomato pomace, ocean fish meal, salt, choline chloride, dried chicory root, tomatoes, blueberries, raspberries, Yucca schidigera extract, dried fermentation products of Enterococcus faecium, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus casei and Lactobacillus plantarum, dried Trichoderma longibrachiatum fermentation extract, vitamin E supplement, iron proteinate, zinc proteinate, copper proteinate, ferrous sulfate, zinc sulfate, copper sulfate, potassium iodide, thiamine mononitrate (vitamin B1), manganese proteinate, manganous oxide, ascorbic acid, vitamin A supplement, biotin, niacin, calcium pantothenate, manganese sulfate, sodium selenite, pyridoxine hydrochloride (vitamin B6), vitamin B12 supplement, riboflavin (vitamin B2), vitamin D supplement, folic acid

Fiber (estimated dry matter content) = 4.4%

Red items when present indicate controversial ingredients

The first ingredient in this dog food is duck. Although it is a quality item, raw duck contains about 80% water. After cooking, most of that moisture is lost… reducing the meat content to just 20% of its original weight.

After processing, this item would probably occupy a lower position on the list.

Which brings us to duck and chicken meals… the second, third and (more likely) the dominant meat ingredients in this dog food.

Poultry meals like these are considered meat concentrates… and contain nearly 300% more protein than fresh poultry.

The fourth item is egg product… a dehydrated form of shell-free eggs. Quality can vary significantly. Lower grade egg product can even come from commercial hatcheries… from eggs that have failed to hatch.

In any case, eggs are easy to digest and have an exceptionally high biological value.

The fifth ingredient lists sweet potato. Sweet potatoes are a good source of complex carbohydrates in a dog food. They are naturally rich in fiber, beta carotene and other healthy nutrients.

The sixth item lists peas. Peas are a good source of carbohydrates. Plus (like all legumes) they’re rich in natural fiber.

The seventh ingredient is chicken fat. Chicken fat is obtained from rendering chicken… a process similar to making soup in which the fat itself is skimmed from the surface of the liquid.

Chicken fat is high in linoleic acid… an omega-6 fatty acid essential for life. Although it doesn’t sound very appetizing, chicken fat is actually a quality ingredient.

A little further down the list we find three more meat items…

  • Roasted quail
  • Roasted duck
  • Smoked turkey

After the natural flavor, we find tomato pomace… a controversial by-product remaining after processing tomatoes into juice, soup and ketchup.

Many praise tomato pomace for its high fiber and nutrient content… while others scorn it as a cheap pet food filler laden with pesticides found on the skin of the tomato before processing.

Just the same, there’s probably not enough tomato pomace here to make much of a difference.

Ocean fish meal is yet another protein-rich meat concentrate.

Unfortunately, this particular ingredient is anonymous. The phrase “ocean fish” does little to adequately describe this item. We always prefer to see a named fish species.

We are pleased to note that, unlike many fish meals, this particular item1 appears to be ethoxyquin-free.

From here, the list goes on to include a number of other items.

But to be realistic, ingredients located this far down the list (other than nutritional supplements) are not likely to affect the overall rating of this product.

With two notable exceptions…

The manufacturer appears to have applied friendly bacteria to the surface of the kibble after cooking. These special probiotics are used to enhance a dog’s digestive and immune functions.

This dog food also contains chelated minerals… minerals that have been chemically attached to amino acids. This makes them easier to absorb. Chelated minerals are generally found in better dog foods.

Taste of the Wild Dry Dog Food
The Bottom Line

Judging by its ingredients alone, Taste of the Wild dry dog food appears to be an above-average kibble.

But ingredient quality by itself cannot tell the whole story. We still need to estimate the product’s meat content before determining a final rating.

The dashboard displays a dry matter protein reading of 36%, a fat level of 20% and an estimated carbohydrate content of 36%.

Due to their apparently higher meat content, both the Wetlands and High Prairie adult formulas merit a 5-star rating.

As a group, the brand features an average protein content of 31% and a mean fat level of 18%. Together, these figures suggest a carbohydrate content of 43% for the overall product line.

Above-average protein. Above-average fat. And below-average carbohydrates when compared to a typical dry dog food.

Even when you consider the protein-boosting effect of the peas and pea protein found in the 2 puppy formulas, this is the profile of a kibble containing a notable amount of meat.

Bottom line?

Taste of the Wild dry dog food is a grain-free kibble supplying a notable amount of poultry, lamb or fish meals as its main sources of animal protein, thus earning the brand 5 stars.

Enthusiastically recommended.

    I e-mailed TOTW, and this was the response I got on 7/5/2010:
    “Dear Andrew,

    Thank you for your inquiry. There are only natural preservatives used in the Taste of the Wild formulas. There is not any ethoxyquin used to preserve the fish meal or the food.

    Sincerely,
    –
    Melissa Brookshire, DVM”

    I switched from Innova (After learning it was bought by P&G) and also because Wellness/Innova NEVER gave my dog solid, consistent firm poops. After a ~2week transition from Innova to TOTW Pacific Stream, I FINALLY saw firm poops! No more having to “scrub” wet nasty watery poo off the floor in my backyard.

    TOTW doesn’t offer any coupons, but I don’t think coupons are needed. A 30# bag of all 3 of TOTW formulas cost $39.99 at the independent pet store I go to. That’s cheaper than Wellness, Solid Gold, or Blue- which are usually $48, $55, and $49 respectively.

  • Craig C

    @Nolan – Personally, I keep dogs under 1 year of age on a puppy formula.

  • Craig C

    I’m seriously considering switching to this brand after reading that California Natural / Innova (which my dogs are on now) were bought by Proctor & Gamble. Curious to hear others thoughts on this recent acquisition.

    Also, having discovered this site and others, it seems Taste of the Wild (dry) is actually rated significantly higher than California Natural (dry), and it’s right around the same price. Win/win!

  • Aaron

    Great, I was pleased when I learned of this change. All bags marked with an expiration date of June 2011 and forward are ethoxyquin-free. My main reason for switching from Blue was to save a little $. Now that ethoxyquin is no longer present TOTW is definitely the best food for the money I think.

  • http://DogFoodAdvisor.com Mike Sagman

    Hi Aaron… Thanks for the tip. I’ve confirmed your information with the company and it does appear the product is now ethoxyquin-free. I’ve corrected the review to reflect this welcome news.

  • Aaron

    I am in the process of switching my two Great Danes over from Blue Buffalo Life Protection Large Breed to TOTW High Prairie. After reading about ethoxyquin I decided to call the manufacturer. According to them, they stopped using ethoxyquin in May and now use a natural preservative for the fish meal. Have you inquired and confirmed this? In light of this change I was wondering if the review would be updated.

    Thanks!

  • Marcia

    Thanks Mike, I did increase their serving size. Now, of course, they are pooping more. Not losing any weight now but now gaining either and they really are too thin. I had been feeding 2 cups/day now 2 1/2 cups a day – think I should go up a bit more? I like to keep my dogs lean, of course, but now they could use a few pounds. I’d worry about a serious health issue if it was just one Gordon, but both Gordons have lost too much weight. Think it’s possible they simply are not metabolizing this food well possibly after a formula change? The Welsh Springer, on the TOTW duck, has lost a tad bit of weight I realized yesterday, she really should not lose any more. She’s a performance obedience dog, so needs energy.

  • http://DogFoodAdvisor.com Mike Sagman

    Hi Marcia… With any “complete and balanced” dog food like this, weight loss is almost always due to under-feeding. If after increasing serving size you still notice weight loss, you should probably discuss the problem with a veterinarian.

  • Marcia

    I was very interested to see Dennis’ comment from March 25th. I, too, have been feeding TOTW bison formula to my Gordon Setters for over a year. In the past 2 months or so I have noticed my dogs are very hungry, almost frantic to eat, and have gotten pretty thin (hip bones starting to show). I have increased the amount of kibble they’re getting but it hasn’t helped. Wondering if they needed grain, I have now started adding some cooked barley to their dinners but too soon to say if that’s helping. I am kind of at a loss, thinking maybe I should switch kibbles but do I stick with a grain-free version or look for a good one with grain.

  • http://DogFoodAdvisor.com Mike Sagman

    Hi Nolan… Every commercial dog food should have an AAFCO nutritional adequacy statement somewhere on its package. If the dog food states it’s “for all life stages” or “for growth”, it can be fed to both puppies and adults. What you want to avoid is feeding a product that’s rated “for maintenance” or “supplemental feeding”. These are for adults only and must not be fed to growing puppies.

    I believe all the TOTW kibbles are rated for “all life stages”. The canned TOTW foods are rated for growth and maintenance. Just check the package to be sure.

    Good luck with your new puppy.

  • Nolan

    Hey. My girlfriend and I are looking to get a puppy. I currently have a boxer and have been feeding him TOTW. He loves it. Do I need to get a new “puppy” specific dog food? It would be nice to just feed both of them the same thing.

  • http://DogFoodAdvisor.com Mike Sagman

    Hi Jim… Weeping eyes can be the sign of an allergy (or possibly something more serious). However, I doubt the swollen lymph node has anything to do with your dog’s food. I’m no expert on the Green Grass pills you describe. But personally, I’d probably be somewhat skeptical about the long term effects of giving my dog something to change the chemical nature of his urine. If the signs and symptoms persist, I’d recommend discussing them with your dog’s vet.

  • Jim McElhanon

    I just started switching by 8 month old choc. lab. from Chicken Soup to TOTW Pacific Stream. He stopped eating the Chicken Soup adult when transistioning from Chicken Soup Puppy. He also has had discharge from his eyes the last 3 months and a swollen lyph node on his snout. I hoping this food change will solve this problem.

    The only other thing it could be is Green Grass pills that he is on that keeps my grass green from his peeing.
    What do you think?

    Thanks,
    Jim

    Hi Pete… According to the respected Orijen white paper, there appears to be “no direct link between high protein and skeletal development of puppies and growing dogs of any size or breed”. The authors associate growth problems in puppies with excessive calorie and calcium intake… not protein.

    Try looking for a 3, 4 or 5-star “puppy food” from a quality company. Many of our better-rated brands include puppy foods listed in the reviews. Hope this helps.

  • Pete

    Hello,
    I am looking for a quality dog food for our new puppy. I am not sure if I want to go to this product right away for a 12 week old, since a high protein diet for such a young dog is not always good. Do you have any suggestions?

  • Rachael

    Most premium dog food companies will give you the salt content if you call them and ask.

  • Sue Douglas

    Mike

    Thanks for all your help with the food. I also want to think you for this website, it is truely a blessing to have it since most people like me do not have the slightest clue what goes into dog food. It was not until my great dane was diagnosed with epilepsy that I even started looking into it. Boy was I surprised and felt very guilty for feeding my other dogs before Tray the bad dog food. I bought the book “dog food secrets” and was really appauld at the way dog food is made. That is when I went on the hunt for a better dog food. I am so glad that I found Blue Buffalo. It is an excellent food and I hated the thought of having to change to something else. so thank you for all your research you have done to help us make better decisions for our fur baby. I appreciate at more then you know. I think we are going to stay with Blue Buffalo and just try a different kibble from them. I called the company and they called me right back with the sodium content of the Wilderness brands for you information the Blue Wilderness Salmon has 0.44% sodium, Blue Buffalo Wilderness Chicken is 0.42%, BB Wilderness Duck is 0.43% and BB Fish and Sweet Potato is 0.26%, That was all the kibble I asked about because that was all I was interested in. But thought you could use them as well. Thanks again Sue Dougas

    Hi Sue…
    Ethoxyquin is only associated with dog foods containing fish meals. The good news is that today more and more manufacturers seems to be switching to ethoxyquin-free ingredients. So, you have to look at each product individually.

    Now, some bad news. We’re not aware of any dog foods that openly publish their sodium (salt) content. This is unfortunate as most all dog foods contain added salt (which in very small amounts is necessary for life).

    To answer your question, you should be able to find a grain-free dog food that is also ethoxyquin free, too. Just go to the navigation tab at the top of our website and look for “Tag Cloud”. Once there, click on the words “grain free”. From that list, look for a dog food that contains no fish meal… or one that states its fish meal is 100% grain-free.

    Hope this helps.

  • Sue Douglas

    I have an 18 month old blue great dane who is an epileptic and also has had diarrhea his whole entire life. He was on Pedigree for the first 10 months of his life while with us and then when diagnosed with epilepsy in January 2010 we searched for a good food to feed him. I found Blue Buffalo and was feeding him that (chicken and brown rice) but his diarrhea has not gotten any better. We are looking at changing over to TOTW but I am concerned about the ethoxyquin in it. Is it only in the salmon food or is it in all thier food. If not could you please suggest one that does not have ethoxyquin in it and is grain free also. Thank you for your help in the matter. Also he is on potassium bromide so we have to know the sodium content of the food Thank you for your help Sue Douglas

    Hi Torrey… see the instructions on the dog food package for a general range or see our Dog Food Calculator for suggested serving size.

  • Torrey

    is there a difference in the amout of protion needed by a dog depending on his size and activity level Ex: small lap dog to husky. if so, do you know what it is?

  • http://DogFoodAdvisor.com Mike Sagman

    Hi Janis… Thanks to your tip, I’ve added Sammy’s Snacks to my To Do list. Look for a review in the near future.

  • Janis

    Thanks Mike. That sounds logical to me. I was confused because the Sammy Snacks adult food claims that 91% of the food is digestable so you feed very small amounts. But, I’ve been doing that with TOT with a much lower Kcal. Would be great if you would take a look at that particular food.

  • http://DogFoodAdvisor.com Mike Sagman

    Hi Janis… From a nutritional standpoint, the term “kcals” means the same thing as the word “calories”. Weight loss is all about calorie balance. The goal of weight loss is to lower the daily caloric input (food) to below daily caloric energy use (output).

    However, the physiology of our four legged friends is similar to humans. Each dog (and each human) has a different rate of metabolism. Some of us eat as much as we want and seem to be immune to weight gain… while others just look at food and put on the pounds!

    Now, imagine needing to lose weight… and then being advised by your doctor to “eat the highest calorie foods you can find” because they’re “more absorbable”. This is (simply put)… not true.

    The goal is to feed a quality meal… but simply feed less of it. Most canine weight loss products are low in calories (kcals) per cup… but low in quality nutrition, too.

    My advice (with your vet’s approval) is to find a 4 or 5-star dog food and decrease serving size for your overweight pet. And if she’s physically up to it, try to increase her level of daily exercise.

    Hope this helps.

  • Janis

    I have been trying different foods to try and get my Aussie to lose weight. He actually eats very little and only gets 2 small biscuits a day. My other dog eats 2-3 times as much and is very thin. Vet ruled out thyroid. I have them on Taste of the Wild now,but not long enough to see any effects. Problem is they both don’t like the food. I want to try another high protein, low carb food. My question is about kcals. The owner of a large pet store told me that I should be looking for a food with the HIGHEST Kcals. That they need and eat so little of it because it means it is more absorbable. Is that true? I was trying to find a no grain food with the lowest Kcals, like under 400.
    He showed me a food called Sammy that acually was 699!!!
    I am afraid of doing the wrong thing, and acually having my dog gain weight. Read alot of articles, but none seem to really address kcals. Can you help?

  • Linda

    My little dogs were finicky eaters when on trips with the other foods I had them on. They all love TOTW Mountain Stream and will eat it right away. I switched to that when trying new foods for my big dog. He seems to have an issue with chicken. He’s still has flare ups, but is much improved. I’m hoping age will help. I have been very happy with TOTW and so have my other family members who i recommended it to who had issues with their dogs after Canidae changed it’s formula. I’m glad TOTW is fixing the preservative issue.

    Hi Charles… thanks for sharing Kody’s interesting story. I agree with your idea of maybe leaving “well enough alone”… at least for now… until Kody is really stable. Don’t worry… Taste of the Wild is an excellent choice.

    Maybe at some point a little later on you can GRADUALLY introduce a newer food while still feeding an established food. This is the process I call “dovetailing”. Start with just 10-20% new food added to 80-90% Taste of the Wild. Take about two weeks to gradually increase the newer choice toward 100%. Any time you see a sign that stools are changing, adjust back the mix.

    This is a process in medicine (and science) known as “titration”… adjusting a dose until you get the desired response. Prevents unhappy endings and works like a charm.

  • Charles

    My almost 3 year-old border collie Kody has been a difficult eater from the start. Loose, sometimes bloody stools, uneven appetite. I have been through rounds and rounds with the vet. Metronizadole over long periods, venison-only diets, and on and on. The cycling moderated for sure, but still flared every now and then.

    I switched Kody to Taste of the Wild High Praire from a mix of Royal Canin Venison and Potato and Canine Caviar Venison after reading the reviews on this site and another site that did not give these foods the marks I would like. Kody loves the Taste of the Wild food. Stools are firm. And I have to admit it smells great. Taste (to my palate) is kind of boring (ha-ha!)

    Kody is eating a good lot of kibble and has the stools to prove it. But they are firm (for Kody) and without signs of intestinal distress. There are other foods like EVO red meat look even better, and I read some comparisons on carb and kcals per cup that give EVO a clear edge. Fewer carbs and less quantity needed. Wondering… should I switch or mix the two? Is Taste of the Wild good enough anyway that if Kody likes it and is thriving on it, I should leave well enough alone??

    As a note: I had tried Orijen Adult based on its phenomenal reviews. And Kody didn’t do particularly well on it. But that has a lot of chicken in it. And we don’t know if chicken was one of the things that early on caused the problems.

    Hi Maria… thanks for sharing your story.

    Opened cans should be refrigerated immediately after opening (of course). And most should last about 2 days or so… maybe three (at the most). Be sure to cover every open can with a re-usable plastic lid… or with snugly fitted plastic wrap.

    Because of your recent history I’d suggest that you not introduce that new canned food for a while… until you’re absolutely certain your baby is stable. Then I’d SLOWLY introduce it by adding just a little to each meal and closely monitoring her stools. Add a bit more every 3 days or so.

    After what you (and your dog) have just been through, you really can’t be too careful.

  • Maria R. Marcinko

    My 12.5 year old Bouvier Des Flanders has been suffering with severe diarehha for almost 8 weeks. She had all of the the tests possible including an ultrasound, all found to be normal. She has been through the standard protacals with medicine and bland diets. The Vet suggested a new source of protein and a friend suggested TOTW Pacific Salmon. After the transition and being totally on TOTW for 3 days, she had her first formed stool in 3 months! She loves this food and you can tell she feels much better. I am going to start putting a little canned with her dry kibble…does anyone know how long a can will last once opened? Thanks TOTW for a great food!

  • http://DogFoodAdvisor.com Mike Sagman

    Hi Steve… what you describe can be fairly common when switching to any new food. That’s why we recommend “dovetailing”… the process of making very modest additions of the new food to the old one food… gradually over a period of time. You may have been a little too quick when you added 80% new food to your puppy’s diet. We’ve all had this problem before… and it’s not much fun.

  • Steve

    I tried a sample bag on my two boys (both pups, 8 and 3 mos). the 8 month old (Lab Mix) got some serious diarrhea after eating the sample provided by our pet store – so much so that he required medication and fluid injection. To be fair, we may have needed to transition it better (we did about an 80/20 mix new to old out of the chute) and that may have been the reason for the problem. Sticking to Blue Buffalo at this point.

  • Thomas

    Energy level and stool size are greatly improved since switching from Eukanuba Lab to TOTW.
    The true test was when filling the dog food bin I used 35 lbs of Euk Lab and 58 lbs of TOTW.
    My Labs love it and I’ve converted several neighbors and will continue to expose Eukanuba and their HIGH GRAIN FOOD!

  • Paula

    I recently inquired about ethoxyquin and here is the response from the company:
    Taste of the Wild is in the process of transitioning to the use of anaturally preserved fish meal. We anticipate this transition to be completedby mid-May 2010. Fish meal is preserved with ethoxyquin on the ships prior to entering port.Ethoxyquin is effective at preventing rancidity in the highly volatile fishmeal. Rancidity in ingredients can lead to severe illness. Fish meal isused in pet food formulas as an excellent quality source of amino acids andomega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3¹s are vital for a strong immune system, healthyskin and coat, controlling inflammation and even preventing certain types ofcancer. Most of the ethoxyquin is destroyed in the cooking process, requiring otherpreservatives to be used. Tests for ethoxyquin are run routinely on Taste ofthe Wild products. The results are typically less than 2ppm. This isequivalent to 0.0002% or 2 ten-thousandth¹s of a percent. This is a truetrace level that many laboratories are unable to detect. The amount allowed,and considered to be safe, by the FDA is 75ppm. Ethoxyquin is being used in scientific research as a cancer fightingantioxidant. When present in controlled amounts, it has never been shown tocause harmful effects.

    I have been feeding Taste of the wild for the past 6 months now and am very pleased, I have Irish Setters that compete in shows and field trial, and in the past have always had trouble keeping weight on while training and running in the field while thay are still lean thay are in perfect weight to compete in the high level. It should be know problem taking them from the field to the show ring in a short amount of time as there caots are nice and shiny. We are feeding the Bison and Venison.

  • Kathy

    I have fed a variety of foods over the lives of my dogs from some of the most expensive grain free foods (well over $2 a lb). I have to say that my dogs do as well on Taste of the Wild as they do on the more expensive ‘better ingredient’ formulas. I’m feeding the Pacific Stream variety and have been for about 8 months. My dogs love it, their coats look great, and they’re very healthy. I did email the company and ask about the ethoxyquin. The response I received stated they test for ethoxyquin in their food and the result is less than 5 ppm. The FDA allows 75 ppm for humans. I never checked to verify the information on the FDA site, but assume it is correct.

  • http://DogFoodAdvisor.com Mike Sagman

    Hi Dennis… I haven’t been following Taste of the Wild for as long as you’ve been using it. So, it is possible they’ve changed the formula. Many companies change their recipes whenever they feel moved to do so… which can be very frustrating for consumers… as well as for those of us who review their products. Why not call the company and ask them if they have done that. Hope this helps.

  • Dennis

    I have fed Taste of the Wild, Bison for about 3 years now and have really liked it, but I am looking for something different now. My dogs have loved this food but recently they have been really hungry and have even been eating dog poo out of the yard. I think that the formula may have changed for this dog food. They do not even seem to like it anymore. I have a Collie, Sheltie and a St.Burnard. THIS DOG FOOD IS MADE BY DIAMOND FOODS.

  • Teresa

    I feed all three of my dogs (2 akitas and 1 shiba) Taste of Wild Pacific Stream. My dogs *love* this food. Their coats are thick and gorgeous; all of the dogs are well-proportioned (not overweight) and they seem to be doing quite well on this food.

  • Jennifer Azary

    I have an American Eskimo, 6 months old. I was contacted by my breeder who suggested changing his food that she had started him on, because of the ethoxyquin, but also because she shows her dogs and noticed that their coats were growing in looking greasy and shabby. He was on Taste of the Wild Pacific Stream. Although, I believe this is a great dog food, I would have to say that his coat is a bit off from our other American Eskimo who was on a different diet. I have changed him to sweet potato and bison formula of Natural Balance at the recommendation of H3 Pet supply.
