I do not recommend this brand. My dog had diarrhea for every new bag that I received for the first few meals. The kibble sizes also changed from time to time which led me to believe the ingredients are not consistent, which would also explain my dogs stool.
I am not an on-line shopper, by nature. But Chewy makes it so easy! I was having trouble with my order so I called Customer Service. They were amazing! Oh, yeah, almost forgot, my dog loves Chewy, too!
This variety has a heavy fish smell, and not liked by the 4 fur kids. They do however love the Freeze dried Raw meals, chicken & beef
Arrived cut open at the side. Only after ordering I see that it has less protein and higher plant ingredients. Smaller bag for more money. Will not buy this again and shouldn’t have bought in the first place.
Quick service at a fair price. The fogs love the flavor and when mixed with veggies and canned food they eat every bite.
My furry boys seem to.like the kibble and there smaller so my older dog can eat it easier.
We have been using this food for 3+ years now for our lab mix. No problems until lately. Price has gone from $60+tax per bag to $73+tax per bag in less than a year. Practically every shipment has increased in price since January. I’m not sure if this is a Chewy issue or an Instinct issue, but I feel like we should get alerts on auto shipments when prices increase PRIOR to the item being shipped. So the rampant price increase is annoying, but would be tolerable if the quality was there. I feel like something was wrong with the last bag we received. The color was different than the previous bag and our dog (who never turns down any food) was reluctant to eat it. Normally his bowl is empty 2 minutes after we feed him. With this batch, he would frequently leave the food for hours. We didn’t provide alternatives, so eventually he ate it. However, a few weeks later, he began having digestive issues- diarrhea, occasional vomiting, lethargy. No obvious causes (not around other dogs, no toxins in yard, didn’t get into anything). We decided to stop feeding the kibble and went to a homemade food. He is much better now. Not sure what our long term feeding plan will be now :(
I have a food sensitive Dachshund and this food wasn't tolerated by him. He developed a loose stool. So back to his old food that has worked.
My Pitbull mix has terrible food allergies. I have tried everything except a full raw diet which I can not afford and NOTHING worked. He would have really loose stool and had really yeasty paws. I tried Instinct GF chicken and his paws are the best they have ever looked! His stools are more firm too. I am very impressed with Instinct and this is definitely a high quality food. If your dog has bad allergies and is not allergic to chicken then give this a try!
Still on the fence about this food dogs transitioned over seems to be better than the raw chicken added they’ve had lots of diarrhea I believe the chicken is not fresh. But they’re doing better on this food still don’t know about continuing. Trying a brand called logic more of a Whole Foods diet.
