Instinct Original Grain-Free Recipe with Real Duck Freeze-Dried Raw Coated Dry Dog Food

She really enjoys this flavor. My dog is a very picky eater and she loves all of the Instinct flavors. Highly recommend.

My dogs love this stuff and the kibble size is small enough for my 16 lb Pekingese while not being too small for my 65 lb shepherd mix. It is a little too big for our most recent addition of a 7 lb chi mix however. But to be able to cover a range of small/medium to large is a great bonus. And the chi can eat it, she just has to do some extra crunching haha.

I was recently feeding my dog Zignature, which is another grain free dog kibble. Within a week of switching his food, his stool is much healthier and his teeth seem so much cleaner. And this is $10 cheaper than Zignature’s cheapest big bag of food. Worth the switch, I’m happy he’s as healthy as he is!

After trying a few brands and using this brand I feel confidant that I am taking a great care of my dogs.

Both my dogs smelled this dog food and walked away. They did not even attempt to eat this food. You would think the high price for this food would be of good quality.

I regularly rotate both the brands, and main proteins in our food choices. We finished up a bag of Instinct Original Salmon, and decided to get Duck next. Our Duck bag was quite different from the Salmon; where the Salmon had what appeared to be lots and lots of dry crumbs and particles that rehydrate to look like crumbled bits from the Raw Boost version, the Duck lacked these yummy bits. My older female Australian Shepherd didn't seem to notice the difference, and devoured her meals. Unfortunately, my picky young male Aussie objected to the lack of the crumbs and bits, and only grudgingly eats the Duck version.

This dog food is great if your dog has any skin allergies food allergies it’s easy to transition to easy on their belly I would recommend it. I have a dachshund and my daughter uses it for her labs, great Pyerenees, and whippet.

I've been feeding my dog this food because he has food allergies....He loved it...it's a single ingredient protein..duck formula. And it really helped his allergies. But.. They changed the ingredients to include...chicken meal...I've had to change dog foods. I'm so disappointed by what this company did.

My dogs love the taste and it's a food I can feel good about feeding them. A high rating on Dogfoodadvisor.

Instinct used to be my go-to brand for my dog, because I could trust them to name the protein sources on the label and not worry about constantly changing formulas and everything having chicken or beef added. Since their re-branding, they have added chicken or beef to almost everything, and are using the FDA's "creative labeling" laws to make it look like they are the same products. This used to be duck and turkey, now it's duck, turkey, and CHICKEN. If you have a dog with food allergies/sensitivities, either pay the extra premium (on an already-super-expensive brand) for their LID formulas or look for another brand. I will not continue supporting a brand that now cheapens their products Instinct used to be my go-to brand for my dog, because I could trust them to name the protein sources on the label and not worry about constantly changing formulas and everything having chicken or beef added.
