Taste Of The Wild

Taste of the Wild Brings Ancestral Diets Home

Taste of the Wild was born from a simple idea: no one knows what a pet should eat better than their own DNA. The founders, a family who owns pets themselves, looked at the modern pet food aisle and saw a gap. They realized that while dogs and cats have been domesticated for centuries, their biological needs are still rooted in the wild. Their goal was to create a food that mimics the ancestral diet of wolves and wildcats but at a price that regular families can afford. Produced in six family-owned facilities across the USA, this brand proves that premium nutrition does not have to come with a premium price tag.

Taste of the Wild solves the problem of "empty calories" in pet food. Many cheap brands fill their bags with corn, wheat, and soy just to bulk up the product. This often leads to pets who are overweight but undernourished. Taste of the Wild focuses on unique animal proteins like bison, venison, and wild boar as the main ingredients. These nutrient-dense meats provide the lean energy pets crave without the cheap fillers that leave them feeling sluggish.

This brand is for the pet owner who wants to feed a high-protein, nature-inspired diet without breaking the bank. It is perfect for active dogs who need sustained energy or cats who turn their noses up at bland kibble. If you believe your pet deserves to eat like the carnivore they were born to be, Taste of the Wild offers a delicious and nutritious solution.

Why Taste of the Wild Works

Unique Proteins: They do not just stick to chicken and beef. By using novel proteins like roasted bison, smoked salmon, and venison, they offer a taste experience that excites a pet's primal instincts and is often easier for sensitive stomachs to digest.

Proprietary Probiotics: A healthy gut is the key to a healthy pet. They developed their own specific probiotic strains, K9 Strain for dogs and Viables for cats. These good bacteria are added to the food after cooking to ensure they stay alive and active in your pet's system.

Family-Owned Control: Being owned by Diamond Pet Foods means they are not beholden to Wall Street shareholders. This allows them to keep their focus on quality and safety, running their own manufacturing plants in states like Missouri, Arkansas, and California.

Global Sourcing: While they make their food in the USA, they search the world for the best ingredients. Whether it is lamb from New Zealand or chicory root from Belgium, they vet every supplier to ensure the highest standards of safety and quality.

Top Taste of the Wild Formulas

Grain-Free Recipes

This is the line that made them famous. Recipes like High Prairie (with roasted bison and venison) and Pacific Stream (with smoked salmon) are completely free of grains. They rely on sweet potatoes and peas to provide highly digestible energy, making them excellent for pets with grain sensitivities.

Ancient Grains Recipes

For owners who prefer a grain-inclusive diet, this line keeps the high-quality meat but adds wholesome ancient grains. Ingredients like grain sorghum, millet, quinoa, and chia seed are used because they are packed with protein and fiber. This formula is a great middle-ground for those who want the benefits of grains without the common allergens like corn or wheat.

PREY Limited Ingredient Diets

Sometimes, less is more. The PREY line is designed for pets with severe food sensitivities. These recipes use just four key ingredients, one animal protein, lentils, tomato pomace, and sunflower oil. By stripping away everything else, they make it easy to identify exactly what your pet is eating and avoid triggers.
