Good afternoon! How many cups for an 80lbs. Labrador?

Answer by Chewy • Dec 31, 2018
Please refer to the attached feeding chart. Ideal feeding amounts will vary by age, weight and activity level so the guide below should be used as an initial recommendation. Divide the cups per day by the number of feedings per day.

Since it is unknown about the meat being grass fed, Is it tested for toxic metals such as lead, Bpa, etc?

Answer by Chewy • Dec 07, 2018
Nature's Variety's natural ingredients are continuously inspected for quality and tested for analytical compliance before being accepted in their facilities.

What is the carb content?

Answer by Chewy • Nov 11, 2019
The carb content on this formula is 22.5%.

how many cups in large bag

Answer by Chewy • Jan 18, 2022
There will be approximately 4 cups per pound of kibble. The 4 pound bag will have close to 16 cups, the 10 pound bag close to 40 cups and the 20 pound bag close to 80 cups.

You’d have to ask the dogs if you want to know what their thoughts were. I’m unable to speak to them in that way. Body language is usually how I determine what they like or dislike. If you have a way of speaking verbally I’d love to know how to do that trick. We are good with it. Hence the 4 stars.

Item damaged in shipment

The bag of kibble broke open during shipment and the kibble is all coming out of the bag. I don’t have a container large enough to keep this bag of kibble fresh

My dogs love Instinct!

Especially the raw boosts. When I fill their bowls with this kibble, the sneaky cat tries to steal the raw boosts.

Misleading

The ingredients have chicken in it! How misleading when the bag says beef! Why is there chicken it?!!!! My dogs are allergic to chicken.

This is a highly rated food from an objective review source. I feel I'm giving my dogs the best with this food. My vet suggested to moisten the kibble because it's easier to digest so I fill a container with kibble and pour water over it all before putting it in the refrigerator.

Had to throw it away

I have used Chewy for years. This is the first time I’ve been unhappy. The box showed up and the bag of dog food was busted. I thought the Pro Health must be in a second shipment but the small box was smashed and in the bag of food. I tried to make the best of it and put the food in zip locks- that was stupid- I should have known better. My poor Bowie had the runs and serious gas from it. I had to throw it away and replace it I’m going to try again- I think this was a one off but if it’s not and this happens again- I’m done with Chewy.

All four of my dogs love it.

They nibble throughout the day and there have been no issues. They have a separate breakfast and dinner of high premium. I quit cooking for them and optimize this

Change up from puppy Instinct to adolescent Instinct

Candace seems to be okay with the change-up. We would both prefer some of the ingredients to be eliminated for healthier alternatives. This kibble is only to supplement

Candace seems to be okay with the change-up. We would both prefer some of the ingredients to be eliminated for healthier alternatives. This kibble is only to supplement her regular diet which is raw and holistic. She eats the Instinct if and when she wants it. I add fruit to make it more palatable for her. She will often just leave it until the next day snack.

Not much freeze dried pieces

I've purchased this food in the past and there used to be a lot of freeze dried pieces in it but now there are very few but the price is still the same......
