Very few raw pieces

I typically buy this or the chicken flavor for my dog. She loves the little raw dehydrated pieces. Buying that alone is just too expensive. I opted to buy the kibble with them in it. I think in the entire bag there were only a handful, if that, of those pieces. Very disappointing. I will buy other brands from now on.

Raw add-ins are a great way to supplement feeding!

Got this food as an "add in" to our usual kibble! Dogs love it! ZERO digestive upset. We got a small bag of this high quality kibble for blending into the "usual" kibble we feed. While we try to use a good food its not always possible to afford the BEST all the time so we often will supplement our dog's dishes with add-ins to offer variety in nutrition. This food seams great! There are lots of dehydrated raw bites, the smell is great when you open the bag and none of our 3 dogs had any digestive upset with this as an "add-in" to their usual kibble!

My dog really likes this food. Usually she just nibbles on her morning food throughout the day, this food she actually eats quite a bit when I feed her. I have been mixing it with her normal food for something a little extra and she seems to enjoy it. I haven’t notice it change anything about her passing gas or even her poops which is good. It has smaller brown circle kibble with bigger pieces that are freeze dried.

Great food for all dogs

My four labs seem to really enjoy this food! It has a few pieces of freeze dried raw food that I thought my dogs would just pick those out and eat them and then

My four labs seem to really enjoy this food! It has a few pieces of freeze dried raw food that I thought my dogs would just pick those out and eat them and then leave the rest of the kibble, but they don't. I love how I can feed this one dog food to all of my dogs. I was looking for a weight management food for two of them, and this bag gives you feeding instructions for both weight loss and weight management. The bag is also resealable.

I have fed Instinct to my previous Border Collie and he did well on it for many years. I now have a very picky Aussie and gave it a try. Ingredients look good and at first bite she was interested. I'm still just adding it to her regular food but she seems to like it and sometimes not. I'm only giving it four stars because I think the food is good, just my pup is picky.

The food has good ingredients. The raw pieces seemed to be super dry, which made my dogs very thirsty. If I was going to feed this food all the time I would definitely add water. My dogs did not find the food very appetizing, so I will not continue to feed this food.

This food seems to be a great choice! The ingredients are wholesome and healthy. I am kind of a mad scientist when it comes to dog kibble and this one passes the test. I am feeding it to my female Cane Corso and she really loves it which is saying something because she gets homecooked food ad her daily diet. You should feel confident in feeding this to your best friend.

Great ingredients

My dogs enjoy the taste of this product, normally picky eaters. I’m so delighted with chewy and their customer service and their fast delivery.

I had to do a slow transition because my dog has GI sensitivity. I transition over a 2 week period. He seems to like this food. He can be very picky and tends to walk away from new foods. So far so good! This formula also agrees with his belly, which is a huge plus in my book.

Happy Girl!

Bella loves her new food. She’s had lamb and salmon for years. Decided to try something new, glad I did!
