The feedback we received regarding the product was overwhelmingly positive. Many clients expressed excitement to see how their dogs would respond to the food, and several shared their appreciation that Taming the Wild was offering free samples. They also noted they would enjoy seeing more content such as “what we recommend” or similar guidance in the future. Because many dogs have sensitive stomachs when it comes to chicken, most clients requested the beef sample. We received a significant number of extra samples, which allowed us to distribute both the chicken and beef options to employees as well. All employee feedback was positive—each reported that their dogs enjoyed both flavors and experienced no stomach issues. Due to the small portion size, most used the samples as treats rather than a full meal.
