Our reviewRanked #9 of 10 Taste of the Wild products

Why we score Taste of the Wild Appalachian Valley Small Breed Venison Dry Dog Food 2kg 7.3/10

Appalachian Valley is purpose-built for small breeds, leading with venison and supported by lamb meal and chicken meal, and shrinking the kibble so toy and small dogs can chew comfortably. It stays grain-free with sweet potato, peas and lentils, and includes the brand's probiotics, antioxidants and omega fatty acids for coat health. The recipe is energy-dense to match the faster metabolisms of small dogs, so portion control matters to avoid overfeeding. The handy 2kg bag keeps the food fresh for a household with one or two little dogs, which is exactly the right format for this segment.

Best for: Small and toy breeds wanting a novel-protein grain-free diet.

What we like

  • Small kibble engineered for little mouths
  • Venison-led novel-protein recipe with added probiotics
  • Convenient 2kg bag keeps food fresh for small households

Worth knowing

  • Energy-dense, so easy to overfeed without careful portioning
  • Higher cost per kilo than larger bag sizes
