Original Dry Dog Food, Raw Coated Kibble, High Protein, Grain Free Recipe- Chicken, 22.5 lb. Bag

After trying several brands of dog food such as the ones that are Grain free beef and the ones with the mix of Beef and Rice, Lamb and Rice, Chicken and Rice, I was finally able to find a substitute food that my dog would not end up drooling profusely and with a big scary seizure. For a long time, the only dog food my dog was able to tolerate relatively well without suffering from seizures was” Blue Buffalo Grain Free Freedom Beef Recipe” but this brand kept on going out of stock. The Blue Buffalo ingredients’ list looks great on the bag but I do not think it is that great because my dog turds were always black like tar and hard. Besides I was never able to feed him more than 1/3 of a scoop three times a day and yet his belly was always distended like a drum and he kept on gaining weight. Because “Blue Buffalo Grain Free Freedom Beef Recipe” kept on going out of stock, I tried switching him to a more common brand easier to find such as Blue Buffalo Chicken, Blue Buffalo Lamb, Blue Buffalo Chicken and Rice, Hill Science Lamb and Rice, Nutro Lamb and Rice, Purina One, and Purina One True Instinct Wet Food. This was a long and frustrating process and expensive one too. Each time he did well for two weeks or so and then one day he came back to the drooling and the seizures and I had to discard started bags of food and cans. In trying to find my dog's problem, I took him to the veterinary and he ran scans of his head and found no abnormalities. The veterinary suggested putting him on epilepsy drugs but I turned him down. So I continued feeding him his “Blue Buffalo Grain Free Freedom Beef Recipe” food. Then during the pandemic this brand became harder to find so I started my search again for a replacement. It was then when I saw in Amazon the "Instinct Original Grain Free Recipe with Real Beef Natural Dry Dog Food" and decided to give it a try and I am glad I did. It has been two months now since I started switching my dog over slowly from Blue Buffalo to this Instinct brand and he has not had the drooling and the seizures episodes (I am glad he never reached the point of a Bloat episode). I guess the secret with Instinct is that it has more digestible and higher quality ingredients, better food processing, and better formula than other brands. I noticed Instinct’s formula has a little bit of Taurine so I guess that helps too in preventing seizures. I am glad I found the “Instinct Original Grain Free Recipe with Real Beef Natural Dry Dog Food” to substitute my dog’s food and I highly recommend this brand. It’d be nice if Instinct’s formula had more Taurine. Price wise with Amazon’s Subscribe & Save an "Instinct Original Grain Free Recipe with Real Beef Natural Dry Dog Food" 20 pounds bag is $67.87 and a “Blue Buffalo Grain Free Freedom Beef Recipe” 24 pounds bag is $64.58. Copper, my dog is a five years old Beagle that weighs around 30 pounds, he is very happy now and says Thank You to Instinct the Raw Brand.

Our "puppy" loves this!!

Excellent

smells different and looks different than last purchase. Dog liked it. Good value.

My 5 dogs eat this so I am happy with it.

I’m rigorous about high quality, high protein food for my fur babies. I don’t mind paying more for a highly rated food; however, I also don’t want to overspend. This food is definitely more expensive than an average dog food, but it is much less expensive than comparable foods. It receives an excellent rating from the Dogfood Advisor website. I have this on Subscribe and Save for an extra discount. Even my mom’s very picky senior Maltipoo loves this food and will gobble it down, whereas many other foods are left in the bowl.

I have been feeding this dog food to my large black doberman mix dog for about 5 years. Besides this food, she eats carrots, apples, grain free dog treats. Something is her diet is good because she is a healthy 12 year old dog. Her fur coat is very shiny silky black. Beautiful dog! I mix it up with another dry dog food every few months. But this dog food is given to her the most, and I think she likes it the most. So, that is why I give it a high rating!

So I have a 2yr old St Bernard and wanted to bulk him up plus he was starting to snub his nose up at his previous food...I did the transition slow for 3 weeks, he was gobbling it up (nothing but explosive diarrhea) for that whole 3 weeks and several accidents, then finally a solid BM and another solid BM...so I slowly switched completely. But after 6 bags of this it's still hit-n-miss for solid bowel movements. So this last week after waking up in the morning to 4 piles of diarrhea from a 150lb dog and even splatter on the bedroom walls and having to replace my bedroom rug, And down $480 ($80 a bag x 6 bags) on dog food, $200 area rug, and lots of paper towels...I'm Done! Going to find something else...

Great food for my allergic dog fast delivery

Alimento premium, con una buena palatabilidad. En sus heces se nota que es un gran alimento, mis borde collie las aman, su pelaje está hermoso y no presenta problemas en su piel.

Espere a escribir mi reseña hasta haber terminado con el primer bulto (pollo 1.800). Lo consume mi perrita Pomerania de 2 años. En mi caso no tuve ningún problema con la transición a esta croqueta nueva, las acepto muy bien sin problemas digestivos ni nada parecido; al tener un perro pequeño (2,9 kg) las croquetas me han durado 2 meses y medio, y su pelaje se mantiene bien nutrido. La única pega que le pondría es el sabor, si bien lo acepta mi perrita no es algo que la enloquezca y en algunas ocasiones tarda un poco en comer todo; habrá que probar los demás sabores. En conclusión considero que es una croqueta de muy buena calidad, aunque se gasta un poco más al final mantendrá bien nutrido a nuestro can.

Tengo dos French de 11 y 14 años, así como un Golden Retriever de 7 meses y los tres comen el mismo alimento adecuándolo a sus porciones ! Excelente alimento a mis perros les encanta ya sea solo o en compañía de alimento húmedo ! Veo que algunos comentarios mencionan que a su perro no le cae en el estómago esta comida al tener mucha proteína tardan en acostumbrarse el estómago de los perros, de igual manera también interfiere la cantidad que le des a tu mascota, mi recomendación es ponerte en contacto con servicio al cliente de instinc en facebook que dicho sea de paso tiene un excelente servicio, ahi pueden pedir asesoría para que te guíen con las porciones, así como cuál es la croqueta que mejor le puede servir a tu cachorro

En la descripción del producto dice que es de 10.2 kilos, sin embargo en el empaque dice que es de 9 kilos. Pareciera que no es mucha la diferencia pero si lo es, sobre todo considerando que no es un alimento barato. Ojalá el vendedor corrija la descripción, o entregue el producto anunciado en la publicación, de otra forma es una estafa. Ahora si, en cuanto al sabor, parece gustarles, aunque a mi husky no le fascina como esperaba, sin embargo he notado que sus heces son un poco más firmes que con otros alimentos. Veremos con el tiempo si hay alguna mejora en el pelaje y salud en general. Actualízaré la reseña de ser necesario.
