Modern science proves that domesticated cats share the DNA of ancient felines. It's easy to see that they still share manyof the same behaviours as well, like their craving for meat. Give your cat the proper nutrition they need to thrive and feed them like the true carnivore they are, with Taste of the Wild.

Ensure fresh water is always available.
For pregnant or nursing adult cats, we recommend free-choice feeding. Adjust amount offered daily as needed to maintain ideal body condition.
This feeding guide provides a starting point for the amount of food to give your cat each day. We recommend that you keep your cat in ideal body condition and not allow them to become overweight.
The amount of food your cat needs can vary based on age, activity level or other food and treats given, so be sure to work with your veterinarian to determine an appropriate weight for your cat, and to make any necessary adjustments to their feeding.
New to Taste of the Wild? When changing diets, gradually decrease the amount of current food while increasing the amount of new food over 7-10 days. Slow down and extend this rate of change if your pet shows signs of gastrointestinal upset, and seek veterinary advice if this persists or you have concerns.
As pet owners ourselves, we understand what it means to want the best for your pet — and it’s our mission to help you provide it. This is why Taste of the Wild uses quality ingredients chosen by a team of nutritionists and veterinarians. They carefully select the best meats, vegetables, fruits and other select ingredients for each of our recipes to ensure your pet is getting the flavors they crave and the nutritional benefits you want for them.
Family-Owned. Pet-Focused.
Taste of the Wild is, and has always been, owned and operated by one family, a family that owns pets and want the best for them. Realizing the need for a quality pet food that is still affordable, we set out on an adventure to create it — one that was inspired by the idea that no one knows what dogs and cats should eat better than their own DNA. That’s why we call it Taste of the Wild.
Packed with nutrition inspired by nature — with the flavors they crave and at a price you can afford — Taste of the Wild is sure to satisfy your pets’ needs at a value you deserve.
K9 Strain and Viables Probiotics
Probiotics are beneficial bacteria that help maintain digestive health and support a healthy immune system by keeping potentially harmful bacteria at bay. Just as in humans, probiotics help your dog or cat break down food and absorb nutrients more efficiently. And because 70 percent of an animal’s immune system is housed in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, a healthy digestive system is vital to the overall health and vitality of your pet. Every Taste of the Wild dry canine recipe is enhanced with K9 Strain® Probiotics, and every Taste of the Wild dry feline recipe is enhanced with Viables® Probiotics. These proprietary probiotics were developed specifically for use in our dog and cat foods.
Our Standards
Taste of the Wild is committed to providing the best nutrition at a fair value. This is why every ingredient we use is recommended by a team of nutritionists and veterinarians and sourced through a careful vetting process.
