Is Taste of the Wild good for my puppy? What dog food is best?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

I have a 5 month old miniature bernedoodle. When I first got him we were feeding him Wellness Complete Health -Grain free. After a while he didn't eat as much so I switched over to Taste of the Wild. He seems to love it but when I researched the brand I found a lot of negative reviews. Is this a good brand to feed my dog? If not what do you recommend?

There are various opinions about Taste of the Wild and I personally prefer not to feed it. Since your dog is still a puppy I would strongly recommend feeding one of the reputable scientifically computed brands such as Hill's Science Diet , Royal Canine or Iams. Feed a puppy feed suitable for the size and age and your puppy will have the best start in life. What you feed into Bruno now, will pay off later in that you will have a dog who developed and grew up to his best genetic potential without health issues caused by insufficient nutrition.
