Are you currently shipping the new ingredient formula?
Answer by • Aug 07, 2019
During this transition, customers may receive the old formulation and packaging.
So just how is their kibble made?
Answer by • May 26, 2019
Instinct cooks their kibble at 180-200 degrees, depending on the extruder. A conventional oven environment is not present, but an extruder environment. An extruder eliminates all oxygen in the cooking process, therefore eliminating many of the variables that would be present to destroy some of the nutrients. All of Instinct's kibble has a freeze-dried raw coating on them. The manufacturer uses cold pressure processing to keep their raw recipes safe.
What size are the kibbles?
Answer by • Dec 08, 2020
The kibble size of the Instinct Original Grain-Free Recipe is 1 centimeter in diameter.
What is the % taurine in this food?
Answer by • Sep 04, 2019
This food doesn't contain added taurine. At this time, Nature's Variety does not test for taurine levels in their canine recipes as it’s not a required nutrient per AAFCO.
