I just called Taste of the Wild and if you live in Florida, all Taste of the Wild comes from S.C.  I feed two dogs Lamb product and have experienced off and on stomach issues, so now I know why.  Off to find another brand of food, AGAIN!!!

Thanks Barbara.  I had one of my females throw up her food about 3 times within a span of about a week and she never throws up. My other female just went through a bought of diarrhea, so I am being cautious and switching. I am very disappointed to find out TOW is a Diamond food product.  Diamond food has had more than their share of issues with recalls.  That concerns me as well.

Hi

I feed TOW roasted fowl and salmon and mix the two together.  I have 5 gsps and have not had any issues.  I live in Florida and so I would be getting the food from the SC plant.  I just spoke to Pam at Diamond Pet foods and she has stated that the SC plant has been shut down for a thorough cleaning due to one batch of Diamond Natural lamb and rice meal coming back with salmonella.  All other foods tested fine. I asked specifically about TOW and she assured me that there are no issues with that food.  They are now distributing from Missouri until the plant maintenance is done.  My dogs are all fine, showing no issues.  She said symptoms would be loose stools, lethargy, and vomiting.  She also stated that if you felt uncomfortable, you could return the food to the place of purchase for a refund and the only food that was recalled was the Diamond Natural lamb and rice.  NO OTHER RECALLS>

We have a small dog allergic to flea bites.  We threat dogs on schedule with a very sound flea treatment  from the vets, and very really see a flea on dogs or in the house over the years.   It is usually always after someone else’s dog has been over for a visit. The small dog was getting large sores and it was suggested we try a new dog food without grain.   We went to Call of the Wild Bison.  As soon as the dogs were fully switched over to the new food, maybe a month or so, the sores went away along with the scratching.  The dogs are happy and healthy, they look great, coats are fantastic, not sure if there is a better food out there…   Well we have tried them all over the years… We have been very happy with the move, and the dogs as well.  They eat less, solid stools, and seems that that the change did make a Huge difference.  We have it delivered every month to the house and the dogs love to be there when the new bag is opened.  We have tried a lot of food over the years and I got to say for now we are happy with Call of the Wild Bison product to date.

I only had two of mine on TOW and they both got sick recently. (they were on it for a few months) Took them off, doing great. Had horrible gas issues which now are gone, Yea!!!

I've also been feeding TOW for year with no issues or complaints! I looked at my bags and they say Missouri on them.  Also found this listed on their website, I know people have questioned this before too!

 

 

 

DOES THIS FOOD CONTAIN ETHOXYQUIN? 

Taste of the Wild Pet Foods sources all protein meals (chicken meal, fish meal, etc) from vendors that do not use ethoxyquin. As always, only natural preservatives are used in our manufacturing process to preserve the foods.
