Taste of the Wild Southwest Canyon is a grain-free dry dog food recipe built around a hearty mix of animal proteins, including wild boar, alongside nutrient-rich legumes and fruits. The recipe includes ingredients like peas and garbanzo beans, plus tomatoes, blueberries, and raspberries. It also provides omega fatty acids and a calorie density of 3,600 kcal/kg.
Note on labeling differences: one retailer listing shows 360 kcal/cup, while another listing shows 408 kcal/cup for the same 3,600 kcal/kg calorie density. This can happen when cup weight differs by production or measurement method; the manufacturer’s official U.S. page for the dry recipe wasn’t available in the sources we could access, so the values below are sourced from reputable retailers and the Taste of the Wild AU recipe page.
