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 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.

Healthy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I first introduce my dog to Purina is like she kept wagging her tail and jumping around and when she finished the bowl she was always looking for more. And I love the way she always energetic since I've been feeding her this all kinds of Purina she just loves it

Dog likes it okay, but there are spongy chunks

Our year and a half Goldendoodle likes it but I don't like the cardboard consistency of some of the larger chunks. Those chunks have been 2 to 3 inches long, like they contained "other" fibers and/or a cardboard substance. We have been trying to pick out those big pieces but that is a lot of wasted "food". We are now looking for a better, more consistent "food grade" product.

Still ???

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My daschsund usually eats chicken and rice Purina one that's the first food we came across that he actually liked so we ran with it. Yesterday they didn't have his food in stock they had this and puppy food Purina one by daschsund is almost 3 years old way past puppy so I bought this. He has ate a little but not as interested as he is his usual so hopefully he gets more into it

My dog loves it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was struggling to find a good brand of dog food that my dog liked she either would refuse to eat, or would throw up all of her food. I came to the decision to get this one and she has absolutely loved it. She’s gaining weight again and she’s back to a healthy weight now, I’m really glad we tried this dog food. My dog loves it.

Top shelf dog food with real meat

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My 5.5 year old English Bulldog is mad for the Purina One True Instinct dry dog food. He has been eating it for about a year and we've had most of the flavors at this point. He loves them all, and Turkey and Venison is one of his favorites. Clean bowl every time. Made with real meat and quality ingredients, Purina One True Instinct is food you can feel good about feeding your pet. The kibble is small and comes in minor shape varieties that are easy to swallow and digest. A top shelf dry dog food from a top shelf company. Highly recommended!

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.

Turkey

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our dogs LOVE this food! I originally bought this to try with my big puppy, mixing it with his other food, and our other dogs kept stealing some pieces from his bowl, so we ended up buying them their own bag. They LOVE it! I mix it with their other foods (our smaller adult dogs eat Benefuls, and my big puppy eats sensitive stomach Purina Pro Plan), and they absolutely love it! They look forward to breakfast and dinnertime, even going as far as to try to swap bowls with each other when they're eating, haha!The chunky-looking pieces within the food are soft enough for our pups to chew, and the food even smells great! You can definitely smell the hints of turkey in it. I think it's safe to say that the dogs in our household are eating better than the humans, haha!!

Big difference after trying this food!

I was feeding my dog a different food that contained chicken. I noticed that his coat wasn't as shiny, and he was scratching himself a few times during the day. I decided to try the 28-day challenge with Purina ONE turkey and venison. The scratching went away by the third day. I started noticing his coat was getting shinier, and he had more energy. My dog's been on this food now for 3 months now and I haven't had any issue.
