Taste of the Wild, made by Diamond Pet Foods, names its recipes after regions: Pacific Stream salmon, Sierra Mountain lamb, Pine Forest venison, Wetlands fowl, and so on. Pricing is unusually uniform for the twelve foods featured here: almost every recipe starts at $2.11 per pound, with the PREY limited ingredient beef and trout recipes at $2.64.
With price nearly flat, the variable that actually moves daily cost is the recipe itself: protein runs from 25 to 32 percent, and calorie density differs between the grain-free and Ancient Grains versions. Portion size does the deciding, and the how much to feed guide explains how it is derived.
The calculator above computes daily portions and cost for each Taste of the Wild food, matched to your dog's breed, weight, age, and activity.
About Taste of the Wild
Taste of the Wild launched in 2007 as a brand of Diamond Pet Foods, a company founded in 1970 by the Schell and Kampeter families in Meta, Missouri. Unlike most brands at its scale, it is still family-owned: Schell and Kampeter, Inc. remains one of the larger family-run pet food manufacturers in the United States.
All Taste of the Wild dry food is made in Diamond's company-owned US plants, located in Missouri, Arkansas, South Carolina, Kansas, and California. The dog food range includes the original grain-free recipes, a grain-inclusive Ancient Grains line, and the PREY limited ingredient line.
In its marketing, the brand emphasizes recipes modeled on an ancestral diet, built around proteins such as bison, venison, wild boar, roasted fowl, and smoked salmon, plus species-specific probiotics added after cooking. It is positioned as a premium formula at a mid-range price, which is exactly the kind of claim the cost calculator above lets you check against your own dog's portions.
