Awesome food!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our adult dog loves this dog food. She is a picky eater and we were able to transition her to this dog food without any issue. She was jealous of our puppy’s Purina One puppy because it had real meat pieces in it. Once she had her own dog food w/ real meat pieces, she stopped hovering over the puppy’s dog bowl.

Great Product, Healthy Coat!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My girl loves this food! Her favorite part is the chewy morsels that are throughout the bag. She knows when I bring the bag in the house that it’s hers. She prances around until I open the new bag and always has to sample some of the new chewy morsels out of the bag. We have been feeding Purina One True Instinct for the last 5 years. Always switch it up for her between the Turkey and Venison and the Salmon and Tuna versions…. She loves both.

Jack & Bailey fight over it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Really strange... My dogs will pass it up one day - then gobble it all up the next... Noticed they now pay more attention to me & our surroundings... No doubt they are happier & more relaxed (as they get closer to the end).....

Dog food has changed

The bags have changed no need to buy this anymore. Can't down load the picture, it did have two different types of nuggets in the dog food now only have one. The one that your does not prefer and I paided 2 X as much for it. Never going to buy that dog food again. Just taking advantage of us dog owners.

Dog food is doggone delicious

I am more than impressed! Miss Lulu is 2 1/2 and she's never liked any dog food. We've been through so many brands but she only liked 1 kind and the expense was completely ridiculous. I've had to make her food everyday so I took the Purina challenge. We use the dry Purina One True Instincts. I couldn't believe it. She eats every bite, every single time. Sometimes she pushes the bowl to me and talks like Chewbacca telling me she wants more. She's never been excited to eat! I was so worried was she getting what she needs, she had no energy.... We see a drastic difference between her excitement to eat and her energy level is a lot more than it was. Usually within 10-20 minutes of eating she starts bringing me her toys, she wants to play and run. So far we've tried 3 flavors and she loves them all. Thank you Purina! Miss Lulu appreciates you. Hopefully I didn't make a double review ....I went to add pics and it errored so I had to redo the review

My Huskies love it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My huskies absolutely love the Turkey venison flavor this is the only dry dog food they will eat everyday. We went through 8 different brands and flavors till we found something our picky eaters would eat.

The best all around food for various sz dogs!

I have 4 dogs, from a mastiff, a mixed breed and 2 miniature dash hounds. Don't question, long story on how I ended up with 4 dogs! This food has proven to be the best choice to feed all 4 with no size problems. The mastiff is very content with both the kibble and the soft pieces. Then the mixed breed at 45lbs, and the 9lb dash hounds are all happy with the size of the food. No more different versions of a food to suit the various size dogs! I normally gauge the quality of the food by their waste. The majority of this is used by the dogs system. The waste is once a day, well formed. Poor nutrition dog food causes excess waste with a soft consistency. Not a nice thing to discuss, but a sure way to tell if the food is being used by the dogs digestive system to get the nutrients into the dog. This food is as good as it gets before you get to the pricey foods. My dogs have been eating this for years, they are getting old, but they don't act like they are. I do give Purina ONE one of the reasons why. I recommend this food for the reasons above. And more, but I am not going to write a novel. They love the turkey and venison, and the salmon and tuna is their favorite, but fair warning, the salmon will give them fish breath. They love it, so I sometimes mix it with the turkey to lower the fish breath a little. Overall, I am really happy with the feed and so are my dogs!

Dogs for sick

We just ordered a 36lb bag from Chewy because the nutrients and glucosamine seemed a plus for our dogs as they get older. Both of my dogs after a week of eating it has had diarrhea every day and now vomiting.. We couldn’t believe it was the dry food so we gave them pumpkin but now my other dog is sick so that’s all he had been eating so clearly the food was a bad batch and we got it from Chewy. I wish I kept the bag to look on dates and batch number.

My picky dog loves this!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have 3 dogs that are all varying levels of picky. I normally feed a different type of purina, but petsmart was out, so I bought a bag of this to try. My one dog who refuses to eat dry kibble by itself devoured her whole bowl up immediately! I couldn’t believe it and thought it might just be because it was new, but here we are 2 weeks later and she’s still obsessed with it. She even gets excited when I bring the bowl now! I’m sooo happy I purchased this type/flavor.

Beagle and Shih Tzu approved!

My mom's dogs have sensitivity to chicken so we tried this protein and they love it!! I adopted two beagles that are surprisingly picky with kibble, and they love this food too! I tried other foods for my 1st beagle when I got him, but his coat is wonderful on this food. This food is also the only one that keeps his "passings" solid! Thank you Purina for this wonderful food!
