My pups base food
By Susabella on May 6, 2020 Top 500 Contributor
I'm very impressed with the Instinct brand of products. I especially like that I can get grain inclusive kibble and in small bags which are easier for me to handle. I'm using several Instinct products now and am very pleased. My pups like them all, and are very healthy and active.

My picky eater likes it!
By Doxiemom on Apr 13, 2020
I had to purchase small weight bags to see if my picky eater liked it. This one seemed to be a hit from the start. Finally I was convinced this one is a keeper. I like that the kibbles are not as dense because she can actually bite through them. It's also a healthy formula. What a relief.

Healthy, dog-approved kibble
By GreyhoundHotel on Apr 17, 2020
I feed a mix of home-cooked, raw and kibble. I always want the kibble to be up to standards of best ingredients, balanced protein/fat/etc. This one fits the bill and thanks to Chewy, is affordable too. Dogs love it.

Took to long
By Starr on Apr 21, 2020
What used to be a quick turn around service has become a laborsome task, with little to no notification of when you will receive your order. This one took 10 days from order to delivery.j

Poultry-Free & Grain Inclusive!
By BuddyCornelius on Mar 3, 2020
We have been searching for a while to find a dog food that was 100% chicken free (no chicken fat or by-product) that also included grain. Thank goodness for this food. Our dog likes it and has a great coat. It also doesn’t have an overbearing smell of fish like some salmon flavored food has.

Also A Winner!
By Alexis on Feb 12, 2020
I have my husky on a feeding rotation of Instinct’s Be Natural line and she loves all of them, but especially the salmon one! She gobbles it up and can’t get enough of it. I’m also really happy that this food does not have an unpleasant or overly strong fishy smell. Overall great dry food option and I will definitely continue to rotate my dog’s food using the Be Natural line.

excellent food + the science to back it up!
By notfatjusthusky on Feb 11, 2020
if youre looking for a solid grain inclusive formula, this one is it. my dogs really thrived on this food! fun fact: natures variety instinct meets WSAVA nutritional guidelines (if you care about that) and employs susan g. wynn, DVM, DACVN full time. there are ~113,000 vets in the USA and only ~100 board certified vet nutritionists. pretty amazing that they have one on their team. shes even helped formulate some of their raw recipes. truly a combination of science and health. love this company, love this food!
