Rocky Mountain Dry Cat Food, Roasted Venison, 14lb

I've had my cat for 7 years. During that time he has been the pickiest eater. Despite being a large-framed breed, he has always been very slim and light (under his massive coats of super long fur!). He's always just nibbled at his food, eaten no more than a few bites at once, and thrown it back up about a third of the time. Also--and I'm sorry to be indelicate, but I know most cat family will understand--his bowel movements have also always been super smelly! He has also always been pretty fussy about his food, even turning his nose up at most wet food, and taking no more than two or three bites of the wet foods he did approve of. I've taken him to the vet regularly, and after blood work and stool tests and exams they put him on a prescription high-protein food. He threw that up too. I've tried Blue Buffalo, IAMS, and several other brands, from high-end to average and have had no luck. I finally found this Taste of the Wild food at my local Agway, and I'll admit that it was the lovely nature drawings on the bags of the various flavors that first drew my attention. But after reading the ingredients, I found that it seemed on par nutrition-wise with the prescription food I'd been buying (at $50 a bag) that we'd long-since given up on. So I tried it, and lo and behold, Mr. Picky Eater tucked right in! He loved it, and he kept it down. I have never found a pile of this food thrown up anywhere (again, cat owners, I know you understand), and now when he uses the litter box we don't even always know it because the terrible smell is no more. He's put on a little weight and loves to get the bowl filled. I'm wondering if its that these are meats that are not in most cat food. (we've been getting the venison and salmon flavor), but that's only my guess. I have a second cat who was rescued from the streets, and who, after having to really struggle for food when he was homeless, is now very food-motivated. Whatever I try to give my picky eater, this boy loves and eats whatever his brother leaves behind plus his own portion. And yet he is not a fan of the Taste of the Wild food. I've continued giving him his favorite, which is Purina Naturals Indoor Cat. I can tell who is eating what by watching, but even when I don't, Mr. Picky Eater has a system that lets me know when and what he eats. He has a little bin of his favorite sparkle-ball toys, and every time he eats he leaves one in the dish. It's not that he drops them mid-play or anything; when he thinks nobody is watching, I see him go to the bin of sparkly balls, take a minute to choose just the right one for the moment, carry it to the food bowl, drop it in, and then eat. It's like he is paying for his food with sparkle-balls. Maybe that's not the most relevant to this review, but it's too cute not to share. And importantly, I'm finding sparkly balls left as payment more often, and in bigger numbers, and seeing the food actually disappear! (Mr. Will-Eat-Anything still tries to cover his food, thinking someone will come take it, so I also know what he's eating and when. We're working on it so he's never worried about being hungry again, but it takes time. But I also know what he's eating because of his covering behavior, and it's not the Taste of the Wild. He once dragged a black trash bag full of empty soda bottles waiting to be returned over his food dish. He's serious about hiding it!) Bottom Line: Good nutrition, I assume good flavor (I don't personally like the smell--Amazon asks for a star rating for flavor, but I'm not gonna try it!), endorsed by at least one picky eater, and possibly easy on the stomach. Make sure you give lots of fresh water with dry food diets, and enjoy your cats!

Hey everyone! Just wanted to share some thoughts on the cat food I’ve been buying for my mom’s cat—Taste of the Wild Rocky Mountain. It’s been a real hit at home, so I thought I’d tell you a bit about it. What’s This Food All About? It’s a dry cat food that mixes roasted venison and smoked salmon—sounds fancy, right? But the best part is it's grain-free, which is perfect for cats with sensitive stomachs or those who are a bit picky with their food. It comes in a 14-pound bag, so it lasts a decent amount while. They have several others flavors as well. I think next time I am going to try Taste Of The Wild High Protein Real Meat Recipes Premium Dry Cat Food With Superfoods And Nutrients Like Probiotics, Vitamins And Antioxidants For Adult Cats And Kittens Our Experience: I switched to this food because my mom’s cat wasn't too keen on her previous one, and we wanted something that could help with her weight. Since switching, her coat looks shinier, she seems more active, and she actually enjoys her meals. Plus, no stomach upsets at all, which is a huge relief. Why I Chose It Over Others: I’ve tried a bunch of other brands before settling on this one. Many of them either had ingredients that weren’t the best for her health or just didn’t seem to taste as good to her. Taste of the Wild does a great job of keeping her healthy and making her happy at the same time. Pros and Cons: Good Stuff: Ingredients are top-notch with lots of protein. Grain-free, so it’s easy on the belly. Our cat loves the taste, and she’s pretty picky. Not-So-Good Stuff: Costs a bit more than some other options. Conclusion: All in all, Taste of the Wild is a winner in our book. It keeps my mom’s cat healthy, full, and happy. If your cat is fussy or has a sensitive stomach, this might do the trick. It’s a bit pricier, but in my opinion, it’s worth it for the quality you get.

I discovered Taste of the Wild dry cat food with my last cat, a rescued Siamese. She was a medium hair cat who shed like crazy. She gained a bit too much weight on the former cat food. I wanted better food for her that was grain-free (as recommended by her foster cat parents) that wouldn't break my wallet - this is how I found Taste of the Wild. I originally found it at a local hardware store for a great price. It hit all the right points - affordable, quality ingredients, grain-free, American-made. My siamese was not a fan of fish flavors, so I chose Rocky Mountain Feline Recipe with Roasted Venison & Smoked Salmon. Fish was not the main meat for this recipe. One of the biggest things I noticed happened when I first opened the bag. The scent of this recipe is downright savory. It smells fresh and yummy to my human nose. (Every time I open up a fresh bag of Taste of the Wild Rocky Mountain Feline recipe, I like to inhale the savory scent. ) My cat immediately took to it. She loved the flavor. What a difference this made for my cat. Over the next few weeks and months, she shed the extra weight, her energy levels went up, her crazy shedding calmed down a lot, and she went from pretty to beautiful. She became more of a companion cat than a part-time pet. After she passed, we went catless for a couple of years. At the right time, a beautiful calico/tabby rescue kitten crossed our path. I didn't think twice about the kind of cat food I was going to feed her. I immediately went right back to Taste of the Wild Rocky Mountain recipe. She LOVED it right away. She is a finicky eater with wet cat food (she only wants the gravy) but always enjoys her dry TotW kibbles. She's a gorgeous cat now, her eyes bright and shiny, and with a beautiful medium to long coat. I have no reason to ever switch from this recipe. I've seen nothing but good come from it. I did try the Canyon River recipe with trout and salmon once. Fish is obviously the main ingredient for this one. I did not enjoy the fish scent. My cat ate it, but I could see she did not like this flavor as much as she likes Rocky Mountain recipe. I would like my cat to try the Lowland Creek recipe to see if she prefers that flavor, but it's been much harder to find. Honestly, I know my cat is happy with Rocky Mountain and it's readily available online and locally, so there's no need for me to poke around with something else. I'm merely feeding my curiosity and learning my cats likes and dislikes. Overall, I would highly recommend Taste of the Wild cat food. They have earned my trust and respect over the years. I've seen the benefits my cats have enjoyed from eating their foods. It's affordable. It's nutritious. It has made my cats happy and healthy. When they are healthy, I'm happy. I simply want my pets happy, healthy and loved.

I am not one for feeding kibble type food to my pets after Blue Buffalo caused a brain tumor in one and other issues in another. I changed my pets to the BARF diet and saw a change in health, healing and every issues down to allergies go away. When I hair tested my husky wolf who had the brain tumor he was FULL of aflatoxins which is an unavoidable by product of grain foods in the heating process and causes brain tumors. I have one picky cat who won’t go to raw or even cooked, wants that dry kibble type food so I am trying this and his fat self seems to like it and I am hoping grain free actually means grain free. So far it’s treating him well, he lives the bison and duck type flavors they have and it’s somewhat limited ingredients and am hoping the grain free claims r true as BB was not true and many many others had issues with Brain drying, tumors and other issues. ( of course being chalked full of aflatoxins it would!!!) I would encourage this over BB any day and my cat who makes picky cats look like dumpster cats ears it so Taste of the Wild it is. Fair on the price as long as they r not cutting corners but he seems good so far on it, no barfing, healthy so far and this food also being fed to a kitten that was dumped by my place that should’ve does she was so sickly and let me say, she is extremely healthy now and no one expected her to make it a week so I am good so far with it. Worth a try if u have a cat like mine and likes the gamier flavors.

my cats have sensitive stomach, regular cat food on the market makes them constipate and vomit. I been giving them the same type of prescription food from the same brand for a while. I was worried they get bored of it. so I tried this one and it worked. my cats didn't vomit nor constipate. so this brand will be in my feeding option now

It's a great product and it's very good for my cats. My youngest Cheeto won't eat anything but this food. It has very high protein and uses really good ingredients. One bag lasts an entire month and feeds all 3 of my cats. It's more expensive then other brands but you're getting a great value for what your getting. It doesn't smell strong like other brands which is great. It's always fresh. The amount you get is also great. I'm giving 4 stars on behalf of Amazon having issues and not delivering it on time and I only ordered it online thinking I would have it in 2 days before I ran out and I had to feed them my own food which really sucks but hopefully it shows up today. If not I'll go back to buying it from Petco.

I just got a rescue cat that was being fed Science Diet. I noticed she was never excited when I filled her bowl and ate very little. Wanting to get her grain free, I tried this, mixing the two together to get her through the transition. She immediately went wild over it and picks it out of her bowl leaving only the Science Diet in it. Smart kitty.

Just my personal opinion, but I hate when my deliveries arrive and there's just a packing slip on it. I'd rather have the box.

First of all you most know !!! The only thing you need to search when buying a new cat food is crude protein, fat and fiber For a better hair and health and less shedding and more healthy and activity Always look for 50% protein and 20% fat and 3% fiber Now unfortunately it’s difficult to find that amount here in Uae so Taste of the Wild Cat Food Got this : Crude Protein:42% Crude Fat:18% Crude Fiber:3% Plus no grains and No artificial ingredients it’s the best you can give for your cat Second !! Transition your cat to a new diet by substituting a little of the new food for the old in your pet's usual meal. Swap out a little more at the next feeding, and so on, for seven days!! So reading some of the reviews my cat vomit my cat got a sensitive stomach of course they will vomit Thank you

Our cat loved this initially, going crazy for it, but even weeks on is still more than happy to eat it as one of the choices we give her. She also eats Pro plan light and Vets Kitchen. We tried Applaws but she went off that one quite quickly. Taste of the Wild will be a regular purchase.

Grain free, high in protein and great quality.

ME KITTY LOVES THIS STUFF HEALTHY AND WORTH THE EXTRA MONEY

cambié a este alimento por los ingredientes y proteína que me ofrecía, desde el primer momento se les dejó de caer tanto el pelo, era mas brilloso e incluso se llenan con menos cantidad que con una marca comercial, lo recomiendo ampliamente 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
