The standard

Protein you can check on the panel.

Dogs and cats are carnivores. Our recipes are built meat-first and the guaranteed analysis is printed on every bag — so you never have to take our word for it.

The dog line

Five recipes. Five starting points.

Every one leads with a named animal protein and includes named fish. Start with a 4-lb bag before committing to a full size.

Wild & Natural Legends bag

Wild & Natural® Legends

The highest-protein recipe in our dog line.

  • 40% protein
  • 18% fat
  • 488 kcal/cup

First three: chicken meal, chicken, chicken fat (preserved with tocopherols and citric acid)

What's in the bag

Read the first five, not the front.

Ingredients on any US label are listed by weight. Wild & Natural® opens with chicken meal, chicken and chicken fat — the animal named every time. A named fat is a traceable fat; "animal fat" isn't.

Straight from our team

Quality over quantity.

"Dogs and cats are carnivores. They deserve meat." — Eric, Timberwolf

That belief sets the whole line: meat-first construction, named animal proteins, and a guaranteed analysis we're happy to have compared.

Switching over

Change the bowl gradually.

Straight from the back of the bag — no guesswork.

STEP 01

Start small

Add a small amount of the new formula to the food you're feeding now.

STEP 02

Shift the ratio

Over about 7 days, increase the new formula and decrease the old.

STEP 03

Watch the bowl

A denser recipe often means less food per meal — check the feeding chart on the bag.

Real bowls, real dogs

Questions people actually ask

Where can I buy Timberwolf?

Through independent pet retailers — never big-box. Use the store locator to find the closest shop, or order a 4-lb trial bag here on the site.

How much protein is in your food?

Dog recipes run 34–40% minimum crude protein: Wild & Natural® 40%, Ocean Blue® 36%, Dakota 35%, Black Forest® 35%, Wilderness 34%. Our high-protein cat recipes run 50%. Every figure is on the guaranteed analysis panel.

Which recipe should I start with?

If your dog does well on poultry, Wild & Natural® is our highest-protein option. For a novel red meat, Black Forest® leads with venison and Dakota with buffalo. Wilderness is lamb-first. Ocean Blue® is fish-forward.

Is any recipe chicken-free?

Black Forest®, Dakota, Wilderness and Ocean Blue® all contain chicken fat, so we don't describe any of them as chicken-free. If that matters for your dog, bring us the label and we'll go through it with you.

How long does a switch take?

About 7 days. Add small amounts of the new formula to the old, increasing gradually — that instruction is printed on the bag.

Do you make cat food?

Yes. Serengeti® and Dakota Feline run 40% protein; Wild & Natural® and Ocean Blue® High-Protein run 50%.
