Nutrition

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My 87 pound pitbull absolutely loves this she will clean her bowl everytime. She is thriving with the purina one dry food and i feed her one can of purina one true instincts every night. Her coat and skin are soft and beautiful and she is getting stronger every day. I was feeding her pedigree dry but she would only finish it if she was really hungry and she was breaking out in large bumps under her skin as soon as I switched her to true instincts she skin cleared up and she is so full of energy now we wont ever switch to any thing else

Great if your dog needs to gain weight.

My pit mix loves this food. She wasn't gaining weight as much as she was supposed to with her other food and since I switched her to this food, she's a lot healthier and getting where she needs to be weight wise. I feed her a mix of the wet and dry. This is my go to food for a happy dog :)

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.

The Dog likes the softer kibble!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The review asked how would my dog rate it. Next to pizza, that's what my bro fed his dog, the dog shows great enthusiasm when I fill his bowl The kibble has a mix of softer and harder kibble , she tends towards the soft kibble, eating it too quickly.One of the first five ingredients is soy flour, that drops the ratings score down to 3 and the additives keep it down But, getting back to what the dog thinks. This is much better than the cat food he sneaks whenever they leave the plate to clean their paws. A hurricane staple.

True Instinct with Turkey and Venison

From the first day we brought Sam home from the shelter, he has loved the Purina True Instinct brand of dry dog food. Every bowl is licked clean and that tail wags the entire time. Sam is full of energy, has a glossy coat, and is truly a very happy dog. I highly recommend this product to anyone who wants high quality food for their dog - you will not be disappointed. Thanks, Purina!

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 dog loves the change!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After recieving my 28 day sample, I have now become a loyal Purina customer. My dog loved the food, that everytime I feed her she eats everything in her bowl. Her coat is shinner, and she moves around like shes a puppy.

No Poultry By-products? Think again.

How can you say it has no poultry by-product on the package when the second ingredient is chicken meal?? Our dog has a chicken allergy and we've been feeding this to him based on what the bag said about chicken by-products. My dog has been fighting skin conditions for years and it's probably from the food. So unhappy now. The grain free food is not safe for dogs so we switched to this. Thanks a lot.

Found clump of food

We've been feeding this to our dogs for a couple years or so now, but the last bag had this big clump of food. Idk at first as my bf didn't tell me and didn't think anything of it as caution, but I said to stop feeding them and we will return it for $ back (tomorrow). I've heard of similar issues I think on Chewy but just to be safe I think I may switch foods which is a hassle as everything is so $$$ and we feed 4 dogs and many indoor cats. I think I will also reach out to Purina and hopefully get some feedback. To add, our dogs have not had any sickness or bathroom issues in the couple days or so they ate from this batch.
