Trying A New Flavor

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My corgis normally eat purina one dry kibble. One of my dogs has been feeling a little bad and has been a bit picky about his food. So, I tried Purina One True Instinct and it really seemed to help my pups appetite improve. I think that means it gets a great review from my 3 doggos.

Better than Purina One Healthy Weight

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We had to find a better fit for my Great Pyrenees who is having liver issues and after doing some research I found out that the previous food had chicken by products in it so I switched him over to this one. So far he still has the dry skin from the corn products and grains that they pile in there but at least there’s no animal by products so that makes me me feel a little bit better.

taste good for dog

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My dog Duece who is a 3 year old bassett hound was given this food. I didn't really notice any difference but he loved the food and seemed to digest better. I would buy this food for their full time food. It is a lot better for them than anything else I have seen out there.

Super energy dogs need this.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have 2 high energy Doberman Pinschers. One is a 5.5 year old female and the other is a 25 month old hyper teenage male Doberman Pinscher. The fact that there's no fillers, 30% protein and the Turkey and Venison is packed with a lot of big pieces of dehydrated turkey and venison is something they first go after. They are free feed plus they are fed dinner. Sometimes the wet version, sometimes something else. There is no gas attacks, due to no fillers, they have smaller bowel movements. They've been on it for over 8 months. Their skin, coat, nails and physically have not looked better. The male is developing perfectly and isn't starving anymore and is filling out nicely. I've always fed Purina One. Once I discovered the True Instincts line and spoke with your nutritionist, I'm satisfied that it really is a complete and nutritionally dense and tasty food appropriate for my two high energy dogs. I love it almost as much as they do.

My dogs love it!

My Great Dane had a very sensitive stomach when I got her. This food did the trick and she loves it. My heeler has sensitive skin to some foods but not this one and she loves it. My boston, and my chihuahua both love it as well. All around great food. The salmon formula is great as well. The soft pieces in the food seem to be a hit my chihuahua picks them all out if he can. Haha

Picky dogs finally found a favorite

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have 3 Weiner dogs who were so picky they would eat a food once or twice then decide they didn't want it ever again. Then one day I noticed that true instinct had tons of dried meat chunks and a year later my dogs still love it. They Eben come paw at the food bin and make me feed them chunks of meat as treats I would highly suggest for regular and picky dogs because my dogs eat fresh chicken every night and they still enjoy true instinct just as much as there chicken.

Dogs thrive

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Sammy is my 4th dog that I have fed True Instincts after switching from Iams many years ago. My dogs have all loved it, no stomach problems, and they have good skin and coats. More expensive, but well worth it.

The Dog has Voted

My Black lab was a picky eater. Would pick out some parts of her old food and laythem on the floor. Would never eat the entire bowl. Now with Purina One. When she hears her food getting prepared she runs and stares at her bowl . Know its now chow time. No little morsels left behind now. Thanks Purina!! Dog has voted number one. :-)

28 day GOOD

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Well to start with our two dogs are a 3 years old Beagle/hound and a Shi-poo 8 years old. I had Purina One in their diet off and on but in this challenge I didn't change. Until we were gone for two weeks and ran out. I bought a another brand. Oh Boy that didn't go well at all. They both ate it once and it took two days to get it out of their system. They wouldn't eat that brand anymore. Went back to another store and found Purina One Chicken not the True Instinct but man they were happy. This is the only food I have found our dogs will eat.
