Questions & Answers

12 Customer Questions


Are you currently shipping the new ingredient formula?
Answer by ChewyAug 07, 2019
During this transition, customers may receive the old formulation and packaging.

What is the % taurine in this food?
Answer by ChewySep 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.

So just how is their kibble made?
Answer by ChewyMay 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 ChewyDec 08, 2020
The kibble size of the Instinct Original Grain-Free Recipe is 1 centimeter in diameter.

Dog food review

If I could leave a negative star I would. Smell is just horrible. My dog eats anything he wouldn't even eat it. Ended up throwing the bag out. Just the smell alone made me want to throw up.

Finally found the one

I have 3 dogs. 2 pit bulls and a mixed breed. 2 of the 3 dogs are picky picky picky! 2 of the 3 have allergies. And one refuses to eat anything unless we hover over him. So it’s been a chore finding something they all 3 will eat….until now. The kibble has a strong odor but considering dogs use their sense of smell, it’s more appealing to them. The ingredients appear to be good quality and since I’ve been feeding them this food, there’s been a decrease of rashes, itching, and licking. And the boy eats all his food now. Thank goodness.

great product terrible delivery

The product is wonderful but Chewy need to work on delivery choices. According to tracking it will take 5 days to travel 46 miles to my house. It has already spent 3 days sitting in Ohio - 46 miles from my house.

Delicious FOOD for my pup

I love this brand and Dr. Berg feeds it to his dogs too! With other kibble food, he would eat ONLY when he was starved. And I've tried several foods..my pup is only 2 but I just couldn't find the perfect one. And of course, Chewy delivery is like in 5 minutes.

Can't find the right product!

I have used Instinct since I got my teacup Pomeranian. I have used small breed chicken, beef, but prefer rabbit or duck. I had to order the regular size from your website because of the lack of the small breed flavors.
