New food is working well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We recently bought our first bag of Purina One Teue Instinct both to try something new for him and because he is just now old enough to start trying adult dog foods. The change was flawless, and he loves it.

Amazing food!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wish I could give this dog food 10 stars. I have always always had a problem getting my dog to eat dry dog food. Since I started using the Purina One true instinct turkey and venison food she eagerly eats every bite every day. She is doing so well on it. Her coat is shiny and she has more energy than ever before.

Got maggots?

Just got a 36lb bag of the Turkey Venison blend last night and fed my dog dinner. Woke up this morning to my dog being sick. I found 2 maggots crawling on my wall and maggots in my dog food container. Dumped out half the bag and found more maggots in the food. I’ve fed my dog purina since I got her 3 years ago and never had an issue. This is crazy.

Amazed!! Shocked !! So happy!!

just got home after what felt like 3 hrs reading an feeling the dog food atv the store through the bag for soft pieces because if there's any way my dog was going to eat something other than Old Roy soft Play-Doh feeling food that he won't eat anything else that I've introduced it was if it has tender pieces..i poured him a bowl and he walked away. THEN I HEARD THE CRUNCH!! He was eating it!!! Im hoping his itchiness and joy to eat his food improves.. I'm so happy to find this Purina one true instinct turkey and venison .. I hope this product never disappears off the shelf. I wish i could by a huge huge bag!! I will upload a picture of the bag to look for because it says product bag look will be changing !

Our dog is happy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have been feed our dog Turkey and Venison since we adopted him in August. Since then his coat looks fuller and his skin looks healthy. Only con is that there tends to be a good bit of crumbled pieces in each bag.

First ingredient is turkey

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like that this contains turkey and venison but the only problem is I wish they would remove the chicken. It only says on the bag on the front that it is a blend of real turkey and venison but it also contains chicken. A lot of dogs have allergies to chicken and I wish they would clearly state that on the front. If they could remove the chicken and keep it just turkey and venison. I would give it five stars.

Great results

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I switched to this food on my veterinarian's recommendation and the results are amazing. After a lifetime of leaky stools, periodic enteritis, etc, we put him on this food and the results have been more than I could have hoped for.

Dog food

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My dogs love it sometimes I wet it most of the time they like it dry feed to all my dogs now because they all like it was she was in Parina puppy chow and they didn’t really like that much so we tried this instead and they can’t get enough of it

Quality Control Issues

Something is definitely going on with quality control. My dogs been eating this food for years. Just received a 27.5lb bag and the kibble color, quality and texture was completely off. Looked old or spoiled. I will add a picture. The meat bits are also soggy and grayish in color.

Dogs love it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] One of our dogs has terrible food allergies and this is what has worked best for him. When it’s out of stock our dogs begrudgingly eat other food while staring at us sadly to make it known they prefer this one.
