A Modern Diet, Inspired By Nature:
While dogs share the DNA of ancient canines like the wolf, years of human companionship and care have turned them into trusting best friends. Though their tastes crave something of the wild, their modern-day diet should provide them with the nutrition they need to thrive. And that is exactly what they get with Taste of the Wild with Ancient Grains, made with a unique blend of healthy grains to support overall health and well-being.
Product Features:
- Ancient Grains: Including grain sorghum, millet, quinoa, and chia seed, these grains are naturally high in fiber and rich in protein. Retaining their original form for thousands of years, they offer a variety of nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and omega fatty acids.
- Sustainably Sourced Salmon: Featuring real salmon as the main ingredient, this recipe provides high-quality protein and omega fatty acids to support healthy skin and a glossy coat.
- Species-Specific Probiotics: Maintaining a healthy digestive and immune system is crucial for your pet's overall health. Our proprietary K9 Strain Probiotics, developed specifically for dogs, are added post-cooking to ensure their viability. Each pound of Taste of the Wild delivers 80 million live, active cultures to support digestive and immune health.
- Omega Fatty Acid Blend: A balanced combination of omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids to promote healthy skin and a shiny coat.

For adult dogs weighing over 100 pounds, add approximately ⅓ cup of food for every additional 10 pounds. Pregnant or nursing adult dogs should be fed on a free-choice basis. Adjust the daily amount as needed to maintain an ideal body condition. This feeding guide provides an initial recommendation for daily food quantity. We advise maintaining your dog in optimal body condition and avoiding excessive weight gain. The required food amount may vary based on age, activity level, and the inclusion of other food or treats. Therefore, collaborate with your veterinarian to determine an appropriate weight for your dog and make any necessary feeding adjustments.
Ensure that fresh water is available to your pet at all times.
