When to Choose Taste of the Wild High Prairie
Dogs with chicken or grain sensitivities who need novel protein sources at a reasonable price
Taste of the Wild offers exotic proteins (bison, venison) at a surprisingly accessible price point. The grain-free formula suits dogs with sensitivities, though the FDA's ongoing DCM investigation into grain-free diets is worth monitoring. Excellent safety record and strong value for a novel-protein food.
Strengths
- Novel protein sources (roasted bison, roasted venison) ideal for dogs with common allergies
- Grain-free formula with sweet potatoes and peas as carb sources
- Clean safety record with zero recalls in 5+ years
Limitations
- Grain-free formulas have been investigated by FDA for potential DCM links
- Bison and venison are listed but meal forms provide the bulk of animal protein
- Made by Diamond Pet Foods — shares manufacturing with budget brands
