# Taste Of The Wild High Prairie Puppy Dry Food 12.2kg | High-Protein Dry Dog Food for Growing Puppies ## Taste of the Wild High Prairie Puppy Recipe Grain-Free Dry Dog Food | 12.2kg **Description** The prairie protein lineup — water buffalo, bison, venison — isn't just a marketing theme. These are proteins that a large proportion of dogs haven't been exposed to repeatedly, which makes this a practical starting formula for puppies whose sensitivities aren't yet known and owners who want to avoid creating protein monotony before it becomes a problem. At **28% protein and 17% fat**, the macros sit squarely in the high-performance puppy range, supported by **DHA from salmon oil** specifically included for brain and vision development during the growth phase. Two functional additions separate this from standard grain-free kibble. **K9 Strain Proprietary Probiotics** — a five-strain blend including Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium species — are added after cooking rather than before, preserving live, active cultures that survive to the bowl rather than being degraded by heat processing. **Dried chicory root** provides prebiotic fibre to fuel those probiotic cultures in the digestive tract. Chelated minerals (zinc, iron, copper, manganese proteinate) are bound to amino acids for improved absorption compared to inorganic mineral salts. Blueberries, raspberries, and tomatoes contribute antioxidants alongside guaranteed levels of zinc, selenium, and Vitamin E for immune system support. Formulated to meet **AAFCO All Life Stages including large breed puppies** (32 kg or more as adults) — so it covers every dog in the household, from the first day home through to adulthood if you choose to stay on it. Grain-free, corn-free, wheat-free, and soy-free. Made in the USA. ### Key Features **Water Buffalo, Bison & Venison — Prairie Protein Trio** Three genuinely uncommon proteins anchor the formula. Water buffalo leads as #1 ingredient — leaner than beef, denser in amino acids. Roasted bison and roasted venison follow. Less common protein exposure means lower sensitisation risk for puppies whose dietary history is a blank slate. **28% Protein | 17% Fat — Puppy Growth Macros** High protein to support bone, joint, and muscle development during the growth phase. Fat at 17% provides the dense calorie delivery that growing puppies genuinely need — particularly relevant for larger breed puppies whose growth spans a longer window. **DHA from Salmon Oil — Brain & Vision Development** Docosahexaenoic acid from salmon oil is specifically included and guaranteed at 0.05% minimum. DHA is an omega-3 fatty acid critical for neurological and retinal development in the early weeks and months — not all puppy foods guarantee it explicitly. **K9 Strain Proprietary Probiotics — Added Post-Cooking** Five species-specific probiotic strains (Lactobacillus plantarum, Bacillus subtilis, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Enterococcus faecium, Bifidobacterium animalis) added after kibble is cooked to preserve live, active cultures. Guaranteed at 80,000,000 CFU/lb. Paired with chicory root prebiotic fibre to support gut microbiome health. **Chelated Minerals — Better Absorption** Zinc, iron, copper, and manganese are bound to amino acids (proteinate form) for improved bioavailability compared to inorganic mineral salts — meaning more of each mineral is actually absorbed during digestion. **AAFCO All Life Stages incl. Large Breed Puppies** Suitable as a sole diet for puppies of any breed size, including dogs expected to exceed 32 kg as adults. Also appropriate for pregnant and nursing females. ### Ingredient List Water Buffalo, Lamb Meal, Sweet Potatoes, Egg Product, Pea Protein, Peas, Potatoes, Chicken Fat (preserved with Mixed Tocopherols), Tomato Pomace, Roasted Bison, Roasted Venison, Beef, Flaxseed, Potato Fibre, Natural Flavour, Ocean Fish Meal, Salmon Oil (a source of DHA), Salt, DL-Methionine, Choline Chloride, Taurine, Dried Chicory Root, Yucca Schidigera Extract, Tomatoes, Blueberries, Raspberries, Dried Lactobacillus plantarum Fermentation Product, Dried Bacillus subtilis Fermentation Product, Dried Lactobacillus acidophilus Fermentation Product, Dried Enterococcus faecium Fermentation Product, Dried Bifidobacterium animalis Fermentation Product, Vitamin E Supplement, Iron Proteinate, Zinc Proteinate, Copper Proteinate, Ferrous Sulphate, Zinc Sulphate, Manganese Sulphate, Copper Sulphate, Potassium Iodide, Thiamine Mononitrate, Manganese Proteinate, Ascorbic Acid, Vitamin A Supplement, Biotin, Niacin, Calcium Pantothenate, Sodium Selenite, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Vitamin B12 Supplement, Folic Acid, Vitamin D3 Supplement. ### Guaranteed Analysis Nutrient Amount Crude Protein (min) 28.0% Crude Fat (min) 17.0% Crude Fibre (max) 5.0% Moisture (max) 10.0% DHA — Docosahexaenoic Acid (min) 0.05% Omega-6 Fatty Acids (min) 2.8% Omega-3 Fatty Acids (min) 0.3% Taurine (min) 0.12% Zinc (min) 150 mg/kg Selenium (min) 0.35 mg/kg Vitamin E (min) 175 IU/kg Total Microorganisms — K9 Strain Probiotics (min) 80,000,000 CFU/lb ### Feeding Guide Transition over **7–10 days**, gradually mixing increasing amounts of Taste of the Wild with your puppy's current food. **Daily Feeding Guide:** Dog's Body Weight Daily Amount Up to 5 kg ½–¾ cup 5–9 kg ¾–1½ cups 9–14 kg 1½–2 cups 14–18 kg 2–2⅓ cups 18–27 kg 2⅓–3 cups 27–36 kg 3–3¾ cups 36–45 kg 3¾–4⅓ cups ### Built for the Stage When Puppies Seem to Grow Overnight Puppies can change surprisingly quickly in their first year. One month the feeding guide feels generous, and the next they seem taller, hungrier and far more energetic. That is why portion sizes are best treated as a starting point rather than a fixed rule. Measure meals consistently, keep an eye on your puppy’s waist and body condition, and adjust gradually as growth and activity levels change. With 28% protein, 17% fat and DHA from salmon oil, this [dry dog food](https://www.petroom.com.au/collections/dog-dry-food) is designed around the higher energy and developmental needs of growing puppies. The combination of water buffalo, bison and venison also gives owners an alternative to formulas built almost entirely around the more familiar chicken or beef protein profile. ### Particularly Useful for Larger Puppies Large-breed puppies can stay in the growth stage for much longer than smaller dogs, which makes consistency especially important. Rapid overfeeding is not the goal — steady growth and appropriate body condition matter more than simply getting a puppy as big as possible, as quickly as possible. The 12.2kg format suits households feeding this as an everyday diet, while the resealable storage routine is simple: keep the bag cool and dry, close it properly after each meal, and use a measuring cup or kitchen scale rather than relying on handfuls. Because the formula meets AAFCO All Life Stages requirements including growth of large-size dogs, it can continue supporting puppies expected to reach 32kg or more as adults. Available from [Petroom](https://www.petroom.com.au/), Taste of the Wild High Prairie Puppy is a practical large-bag option for owners looking for consistent everyday nutrition through the demanding puppy growth stage. ## Details - **Price:** 144.99 AUD - **Vendor:** Taste Of The Wild - **Tags:** dog food, taste of the wild ## Variants | Variant | Price | Available | |---------|-------|-----------| | Default Title | 144.99 AUD | In stock | ## Images - Taste Of The Wild High Prairie Puppy Dry Food 12.2kg | High-Protein Dry Dog Food for Growing Puppies - Taste Of The Wild High Prairie Puppy Dry Food 12.2kg | High-Protein Dry Dog Food for Growing Puppies - Taste Of The Wild High Prairie Puppy Dry Food 12.2kg | High-Protein Dry Dog Food for Growing Puppies --- > Source: [Petroom](https://www.petroom.com.au/products/taste-of-the-wild-high-prairie-puppy-dry-food-12-2kg) > Updated: 2026-08-26
