Questions & Answers

24 Customer Questions


Why does this have montmorillonite clay in it, along with most other Instinct's products?
Answer by ChewyFeb 20, 2018
This clay has been prescribed to help dogs with diarrhea caused by radiation and chemotherapy cancer treatments. According to evidence from studies, the clay can be an effective alternative to other anti-secretory agents which can cause serious complications ranging from nausea to anemia, including neurological issues.

My dog get feast infections, dry, flakey skin, chews and scratches. Is this the best product for him?
Answer by ChewyNov 13, 2017
There are a couple oils in this product that may help with dry flaky skin, but we recommend consulting with the vet to determine an accurate diagnosis.

Is there any taurine in this to prevent heart issues because of the lack of grains?
Answer by ChewyJul 07, 2021
Instinct does not test for taurine in any of their formulas. Meat naturally contains a lot of taurine through amino acids methionine and cysteine and is the primary source of naturally derived taurine. Because their recipes are meat-rich at Instinct, all recipes have more than adequate levels of these naturally-occurring amino acids given the amount of animal ingredients they include. Because taurine naturally occurs in their recipes, they do not need to supplement with taurine in their diets.

My dog is allergic to wheat, flaxseed, beef and milk. Is this dog food suitable for her?
Answer by ChewyMar 08, 2019
This formula doesn't contain any wheat, flaxseed, beef or milk. For a complete list of ingredients, click the “Nutritional Info” tab, next to the “Description” tab, just under the product photos.

Price Increase

I’ve been purchasing Instinct brand dog food for years, usually the lamb, and upon checking my auto ship order this time, noticed that a 20 pound bag that was $65.99 last order, had a price increase of $14.75! Sorry to say, I’ll be searching for another brand, there are others to choose from, rather than paying $80.74 for a 20 pound bag. Very disappointing.

Great Quality

Other kibbles seem to have have byproducts and ingredients that make my senior dog break out in hotspots. This food has been a saving grace!!

Things to ponder

Although grain free there would be more beneficial health to dogs longevity if other ingredients were removed that can cause health issues. Tapioca..salt how much? Is it for keeping food in good state..any meal should not be in raw food..if I'm paying for premium food I want clean food with no added ingredients. My dog's health is extremely important that is why I researched everything..To buy dog food all of the food should be clean and no added products..I would love to see more brands remove all additives for the longevity of the life of dogs.

Bad, Bad, Bad

My dogs starved for a week before I gave this to someone else. Sad thing is their dogs did the same thing and one got so sick she had to go to the vet. This got a one star only because zero stars was not and option.

Works for skin problems

My dog is prone to yeast issues with her skin and this has helped more than anything else I have tried. Very glad the 4 pound is back. I am older and hefting a large bag is hard for me. And thanks to Chewy for excellent service.

My dogs loved it

Yay dogs love this food. Great quality food! Bought specifically for my skin sensitive and stomach sensitive GSD. Works well with him. Unfortunately, I did stop purchasing because it became too expensive. But definitely reccomend

Happier healthier pups

Since switching all my puppers to this LID brand food, I have happier more active pups. Not only do they seem fuller off of less food, but their weights are all in check. Makes me wonder exactly what junk in their other food was complete waste...

For a finicky basset with allergies

Our basset hound has many food allergies. We have had a very difficult time finding something that doesn't have a lot of ingredients that are on her "sensitivity" list. The former manufacturer we used stop making her limited ingredient food. So we tried this. She actually eats it and so far, it's has not provoked her allergies. I wish they had one like this in beef, kangaroo, or salmon!

Boston Terrier With Allergies

We have only been using Instinct LIMITED INGREDIENT Diet "Lamb" 10 days, but I'm hoping to find a food that will help our 11 month old's skin. She's been itching for 3-4 months. Several vet visits, prescribed frequent baths with a soothing shampoo, then later a medicated shampoo. She scratched her "arm pits" so much she made sores. Now we're trying Limited Ingredient Diet along with the baths. Instinct is the brand our vet recommends. The Lamb Limited Ingredient is our first try. It may be wishful thinking, but she seems a little less itchy.
