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

My dog is a hound/lab mix. He has a history of ear infections and itchy skin so I started looking for a grain free non poultry diet. Not only have I noticed a great difference in his ear troubles but when he typically waited until he was starving to eat he now gobbles it up. I love seeing my dog happy and healthy as well as enjoy his meal. However, this food is on the more expensive side and as he is a big boy (90 pounds) he does go through it rather quickly.

Switch to instinct when Eukanuba premium performance became unavailable. Not very well received by our two Gordon Setter‘s have switch to royal canine setter blend on advice from Vet. Instinct seem like a good idea our vet thought otherwise

My Bedlington terrier loves this. Because of her breed I have to feed her this dog food. She lives it. The delivery took two days. So quick!

By baby is not a pick eater, but didn't like it. He stopped being excited about eating and would let it sit for a while before eating without desire. Went back to his old In to the Wild dog food. He loves it.

My goldendoodle was eating Zignature for a long time, then last month turned her nose up at it. Changed to Hills Science Diet, but they only had chicken. I forgot how sensitive her skin got with chicken. I read the reviews on this one, so decided to give it a try. I did 3/4 of Hills and 1 quarter of this for 5 days. Today is day 5 and she had the runs all night. Had to take her out every 30 minutes and that was with taking Imodium. I made rice with chicken broth and she won’t touch it. Finding a vet that’s open 4th of July weekend is not going to be easy, but I can’t let her dehydrate. Just found a bag of Hills that wasn’t chicken. I ordered it!

Appears to be nice kibble bites. My schnauzer has bad teeth so I have been hunting for a food he can and will eat. Gave him soft canned but he tired of that. Daughter uses this Rabbit Instinct. He ate the samples she gave me so I ordered the big bag to save on cost. He ate this for three nights and now really has to be hungry to eat any more. He really has no more interest in it. Oh, and it has made his stools really soft. That really makes it difficult when I have to clean up on our walks. Do sample it before investing in the big bag.

I have always heard a great review for this brand and especially my dog is high allergy so i thought to give a try. But my picky eater wont even touch it. she smell it and leave. I guess its not her taste. I should just stay with what she like

My 2 year old corso has been having allergy problems his whole life. Also, his stool has never been completely perfect his entire life (at first we figured "thats just puppy digestion" but as he got older, it didnt get better). We did a food trial with a prescription hypo pet food and the corresponding hypo treats, and his stool and allergies did not improve. With meds, it brought him down to a 3/10 itchyness (instead of a 9). After talking to a canine skin specialist and doing a skin test, she said that: 1. he was allergic to a bunch of environmental factors (sarcastic thanks, FL) and should start immunotherapy (genuine thanks, pet insurance!) 2. Dogs who have environmental allergies My 2 year old corso has been having allergy problems his whole life.

Dogs who have environmental allergies often have dietary ones as well, and 30% of dogs who have a poultry allergy REACT to the chicken in that brand hypoallergenic pet food, so to try him on a novel protein diet and see what happens. Well, thanks to Covid-19, Chewy was out of the Prescription Rabbit dog food at the time of ordering, and so I cautiously turned my attention to Instinct to use until chewy restocked! And you know what? My dog, who has been plagued with itchy rashes since he was 6 months old and would scratch the hair off of himself... is comfortable for the first time since I can remember. It's way too early for the immunotherapy to be working. No more turning his armpits into raw hamburger meat with his scratching! No more rashes! The fur on his neck is growing back! and GUESS WHAT? HIS POOP IS GREAT! I could probably kick his stool like a football it is so firm. (gross) We've gone through 60lbs of kibble so far, and I have no complaints (though i do crack an egg into his food or use taurine supplements every now and then to set my mind at ease about that potential DCM connection to some GF food). Did I mention it's tasty, apparently? My dog went from never being interested in his food (we've gone through 4 brands) to gobbling up his bowl. As long as my big boy keeps thriving on it, we'll be sticking with Instinct :) … more

Cut open bag, contents light, no way to contact the company must be a way to get part refund but they don't make it easy. I think I have 50 to to to to to to get a refund what do you think what would you doit seem more like 60 words to me don't have time

So far so good. Our Labrador is having issues with digestion and it was recommended we try simple ingredients and Rabbit. Rabbit is suppose to be better for our pup than other protein sources. So far so good, but she does have stinky gas. We will continue with this food and see how it goes.
