In your opinion does this food taste significantly better than average kibble? I'm having trouble getting my dane to eat, he's real finnicky!

I have honestly never tasted this food myself, however my dogs have been eating it for years and seem to like it fine. This IS great dog food though, and my dogs are incredibly healthy. If you want your dog to eat the food, I would "jazz it up" with some yogurt, coconut oil, or my pups personal favorite mushroom gravy.For the mushroom gravy, I mix MUSH (link below) with a little water and put it on their food; they go crazy for it.MUSH Medicinal Mushroom Blend 125 gram

I would think so. Some Dogs prefer the cheaper "junk food" though because they like the taste.

Can't speak for the taste but will say there aren't any things in this food that a dog wouldn't eat in the wild. For example, lots of foods have corn, etc. in them. This good is all meat.

I just bought some for my pup and opened it up and tried a kibble. I have been a vegetarian all my life, but the ingredients looked so good I figured I should try it. It smells like fish and chicken and veggies - not so much kibble. She seems to think it's better than meat sticks :)

My two year old schoodle doesn't like anything, but her puppy food (the very expensive one), but she gets desperate and will eat this dog food. I would give my puppy the BEST food you can find that he likes....he isn't a puppy all that long.

1-2; it takes dogs time to adjust to this food (as any food), so have you changed your dog over very gradually? Are you giving too much? Also, I only use the chicken/duck/turkey combo, not Taste of the Wild, which may be too rich. It's a great dog food.

I have noticed that some bags have crisper patties than others. I break up a patty and put it on top of my pup's kibble and they absolutely love it. I have only bought the chicken and I agree with the other reviewer that said its like "crack" for dogs. One of mine will push me away so he can get at it!!!

I'm so sorry to hear. I changed dogs diet after trying Science Diet, but was also feeding treats I have no idea if they were seizure cause. I just threw out everything I was feeding, began research and decided to go with Wellness. I also feed PetFresh for a moist food addition snacks I feed zuke's. I didn't take him to vet, can't afford all they will test for. Thought to self, switch diet and watch him. It's like a miracle, the change in him. I hope a switch in diet is the answer for your puppy. Have a peaceful day.

I have 3 dogs and they all loved it. Your dog could just be afraid of it. Try putting his favorite treat on it and leave it where he can get it by himself. It may take a while but the desire for the food should overcome his fear.

On the kibble, you get a whiff of salmon, not unpleasant. I have not noticed it on the dog's breath.

Yes, George, only mine did better than that...my 75 pound pit bull ate the entire thing (chewed it up - did not swallow whole) in about 20 minutes! I was actually worried about him, but it didn't seem to affect him at all. I will never buy him another one, though...at $1.00 per minute, not a very good value. If mine were the type to nibble or gnaw gently it would be fine, but my dog has one agenda and that is to completely devour, deconstruct, destroy whatever toys or treats I give him as quickly as possible. :)

Keep in mind, I'm only commenting on the puppy food. I do believe they have adult dog food in large kibble size for that specific purpose. This one is just the puppy food.

My chi's will not eat anything but cadet duck. I have tried everything and the chi's refuse chicken, lamb, beef(everything). I have fed our children duck for 3yrs now without problems. Have had problems buying this product so when it came available again, I bought 50# in 2 and 2.5# bags. I just wonder if there is anything in it that makes my chi's love it. Right now there is a supply here and at Costco. Go figure

Hi, did you end up trying this? I want to order it for my husky and curious if it works! Thank you!

I have never bothered transitioning any of my dogs. My puppy has had all of he ToW foods this year and has not had a problem. Some dogs are sensitive and need a slower introduction to a new food. I have had no issues just switching my guys over directly from one flavor to another.

Stick with puppy food til hes a year old. Mine did that on Purina but now they poop less because C of W has a lot less junk in it. This costs more but you actually feed less. Maybe feed 2 smaller meals a day and add coconut oil

I guess you could, but what is your purpose? Is your current food only filler, or does it also offer a complete diet which might not be complemented by the Orijen? Each of my dogs only eats 1/2 c./day. If I had big dogs who ate a lot, I would probably choose something else too.

....Comparable to, no. TOTW FAR exceeds in coat shine, brain growth, stooling, and there is not a morsle missed.........GRAIN FREE, and the best there is!............I switch between High Prairie and Taste of the Pacific every 3rd week on my 18 week Blue Great Dane...........Venison/Bison/Lamb/Salmon and anti oxidant berries........DOG HEAVEN!!

I so agree, because the one thing they don't show you is the one thing that ended my dog in the hospital for 3 days (and $1,800 in vet bills). The fat content of this is very high. Even with all the research I did, I thought this was a very good food for my dogs, but for one the high fat content took its toll (I do not feed my dog table scraps or other high fat foods; their treats consist of vegetables and on a rare occasion a bully stick). The dog who got pancreatitis was on the fish/sweet potato version of the Taste of the Wild. But seriously, when you are selling stuff online please provide a picture of the back of the bag with the details for everyone to read.

Taste of the Wild is the only brand my Doberman has ever eaten. I got him as an 8-week-old puppy and he had been the "runt" of the litter but he stole my heart. He is now four-years-old, strong, glossy coat, full of energy, muscular, and so TALL. Not a runt anymore. TOTW is an excellent food, he loves it, and we'd never give him anything else.
