I've been feed grain-free for many years, back when Innova Evo seemed to be the only company available at the local pet food store (not big stores like Petsmart). I switched off Evo a few years ago when grain prices increased and never decreased... taking my normal $40/large bag to $44 to $46 and now $50. The knowledgeable owner recommended Taste of the Wild as comparable and much less expensive at $30/large bag. This is much more cost effective for us since we have four cats to feed.
I periodically re-research the state of cat foods to check whether Taste of the Wild is still comparable to the best available brands and it's held steady among the more expensive brands for several years (Innova Evo, Orijen, Wellness Core, etc.) Recently, I did more research and found that wet food/raw frozen food/raw homemade food is the best option for healthy kitties, NOT any kind of dry processed food (although grain free is still better than other substandard brands). However, dry food is still the most convenient for early morning automatic feedings, short trips away from home, and having a backup supply.
This food, both this and the other available flavor, has been fine for the cats. They think it's tasty, don't barf it up (only one cat has issues and it's from scarfing his food in two minutes flat, not the food itself), and it keeps their coats healthy. Their weight seems stable (although the two fat cats stay fat from stealing food and human leftovers), energy levels fine (for an animal that sleeps 16hrs/day), and they're not eating scary junk (which is what I now think of the Iams/Eukanuba they ate before I went grain-free). Handling the food isn't bad, it smells like cat food, but not overwhelmingly gross (some dry kibble can be strongly odorous). The price point is the best plus for me for a dry food.
Regarding other posts about unhappy cats... GRADUALLY introduce a new food. If your animal notices that there's something different or just refuses to eat, you're probably doing it too fast.
Also, I'm not that concerned about the ethoxyquin issue that someone else pointed out (that particular poster is also talking about dog food forums too). Many manufacturers claim that it gets eliminated from the high heat (heavy processing that makes dry food so much unhealthier for cats in general) and others claim that all non-human consumption "ocean fish" get treated with ethoxyquin under US law which dissipates over time, yadda yadda, etc. Basically, there's a lot of talk about it and not a whole lot of evidence that it has any provable effects on animals. Just about everything processed nowadays seems to cause cancer or other horrible things. The non-ethoxyquin foods still mislead consumers (farm fish instead of ocean fish, etc.) or just use human-grade fish, which makes it MUCH more expensive. If you're that concerned about getting the best food quality and absolute healthiest diet for your beloved pet, IMO, you shouldn't be using dry cat food at all.

My cat Sno Ball love this food and I like the fact that it is grain free and all natural. I highly recommend this product but just keep in mind that since most domestic cats are used to processed kitty food, it may take them a while to get used to it.
Since he's been eating this food, I noticed is that it makes his poo smells EXTRA strong. I have a small apt so I almost passed out when I came in the other day and it smelled like he had pood right on the floor when it fact he pood in his litter box and it was covered up. Thats some strong food. He's only been on it for a week so we'll see how it progresses. Maybe his digestive system has to get used to it.

I don't know whether she has a hereditary predisposition to a delicate digestive constitution or whether it was my daughters' Polly Pocket doll clothes, which she has twice ingested and for which she was twice treated by a veterinarian, but my eight-year old house cat vomits when she eats any cat food that contains cereal fillers. What a pain in the rear end! Front end, actually. As my cat's gastrointestinal challenges worsened, it took me a while to identify the source of the problem and then a while longer, through trial-and-error, to find a food she could eat and keep down. Finally, I found it: Taste of the Wild Dry Cat Food.
I'm pretty sure the key is the omission of cereal/corn fillers in the recipe, but I believe there probably is another reason, too. (I'd tell if I knew.) I'd tried other foods with no fillers before, but still had the same problem, although not quite as pronounced. Maybe it's the venison and/or the salmon, which could be more easily digested by cats than other proteins. I don't know. Whatever the reason, I buy only Taste of the Wild for my cat. We adopted another cat from the local shelter near the end of last year, a one-year old, and switched him from Iams (which the shelter uses) to Taste of the Wild. All good; almost six months later, he's flourishing.
No, I'm not an employee, vendor, distributor, or any other person or entity related directly or indirectly to the manufacturer. The stuff is just really good.

My cat has had bloody stools since I brought her home three years ago. Since I started my cat on this food she does not have bloody stools. My vet did all kinds of tests on her but never suggested we go grain free. This food is a lifesaver, I don't think my cat would have had a normal lifespan if this would have continued. Some of the reviews I read said the cat's poop smelled much worse with this food, but we haven't noticed any difference.

After rescuing a kitten a few months ago, I now have 3 cats. Something is wrong with him, but the vets can't figure out what...all tests are negative yet he's losing hair and vomiting. My oldest cat had digestive problems from the start ... I had to force feed her digestive enzymes for almost 2 years just so she could get any nutrients since her body wasn't creating the necessary enzymes... she was 5 years old, very long and only 3.5 pounds! She kept eating and eating, but it just went straight through her in a not so pleasant way. She has been on non-prescription food and medication free for 3 years, but now she has been vomiting occasionally for months and has started getting scabby patches from allergies that just keep coming back.
So between the two of them, I ended up with partially digested piles of science diet in all sorts of places in my house. Thank the heavens for hardwood floors. Wet food? Ha, not a chance it will stay down... and they even turn up their noses at treats these days.
So they've only been on this food for a week (about 50/50 this food and old food)... all vomiting has stopped by all 3 cats, hair is regrowing, scabs are healing and everyone is eating. When switching food I expected there to be some extra vomiting... especially by my older female, but nope not a single incident all week... all 3 adore it, they already have more energy, and seem to be doing well.
I'm THRILLED that there is a grain free dry food formula... I looked into more appropriate diets (aka not 60% carbs) several years ago, but I didn't have the time, patience, or schedule necessary to feed all wet food. So this is great.
I will update after they've been on the food longer. Also can't beat having food delivered to my door (up 3 flights of stairs) without paying shipping.
