Instinct Original Small Breed Grain-Free Recipe with Real Chicken Freeze-Dried Raw Coated Dry Dog Food

I wish that Izzy liked this food. She is a 10 year old Cairn/Yorkie mix and went on a hunger strike for 2 days until I got other food for her. She's pretty fickle, so I don't think it is the food's fault!

Excellent ingredients in this food. Organ by products which dogs love. I was looking for a more nutritional food for my 1 and 13 year old Yorkies. They love this product. I do still give them royal canon wet gastro food, but I see an improvement in their energy levels, may switch to instinct wet food as well soon.

The best I have used it was not as palatable to her as some of the cheaper brands, but, now that she has been on it for two weeks she loves it.

I am so happy all four love this food. They started eating it while I was pouring it in their dish. It is rated five stars by Dog Food Advisor. I will be feeding the Solid Gold too.

This food was a great upgrade from a previous uninformed Pedigree purchase. My dog loves it to the point I can even use the little kibble as low-reward treats for reinforcing previously learned tricks. However, my dog seems to have a sensitive stomach and while this is good enough to keep him happy and diarrhea-free (most of the time) it might not be the best option for puppies like him.

My three dogs won't touch this food. A waste of a lot of money! I should have gotten the smallest amount possible to test it, but with all its goodness I expected them to be crazy about it. Just like health foods for people, they sound good but often don't taste good, lol. I guess we will have to sustain the loss of $ and go back to a brand that's less super-premium.

Grain free, however I supplement their diet with oatmeal and vegetable or fruit treats that I make, plus slices of sweet potato that I dehydrate in the oven.

I have spent a lot of money on the best dog foods and treats offered and my dog would not eat any of the foods I bought. My credit card overflowed with charges and I was at my wit’s end trying to get a food he would eat. I finally decided to give up after trying toppers and all types of dog foods. I then decided I had to do something before my dog became ill from not eating. I went to where his breeder was and asked her what I could try so he would eat. She gave me what she had fed him as a puppy and told me to give him half the amount. We are going on day 2 and he has eaten this food. I have nothing against chewy because they have a great amount of different dog foods and the people I spoke I have spent a lot of money on the best dog foods and treats offered and my dog would not eat any of the foods I bought.

I just wanted to share this with you all at Chewy and with other dog owners who have problems with their dogs eating and maybe Chewy could ask some breeders for foods they sell and start selling them at Chewy. I just hope he keeps eating this food. It is not one that is exclusive to the breeder but it seems like it is working for my very finicky dog. And he is a real finicky dog. I give only one star to this brand because like this and many others I purchased he refused to eat any of the brands and they were the top ones available. But if he changes his mind I will be back with Chewy asap. … more

I just started my chihuahua on this food and it’s so good so far. She likes the kibble size is small compared to her puppy food she use to eat.

I haven't been able to find this particular product in stores, so I'm happy Chewy.com carries it. The kibble is small which is perfect for my dog. She cleans her bowl and that speaks for itself.
