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: Featuring grain sorghum, millet, quinoa, and chia seeds, these grains are naturally high in fiber and rich in protein. Preserved in their original form for thousands of years, they offer an array of nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and omega fatty acids.

• Sustainably Sourced Salmon: Made with real salmon as the primary ingredient, this recipe offers high-quality protein and omega fatty acids to promote healthy skin and a shiny coat.
• Species-Specific Probiotics: Maintaining a healthy digestive and immune system is vital 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 mix of omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids promotes healthy skin and a shiny coat.

• All Life Stages Nutrition: This formula provides essential vitamins, minerals, and nutrients to support your pet's health at every stage of life.
