Dude and Bowie approved

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is both of our dogs favorite. They are very disappointed if we can't afford it. We skimp on other things to get this for them. Our dogs are big and this fills them up and they have good coats. Absolutely thankful for it. Thank you Purina.

A Softer Dry Food

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My Aussie loves this stuff. I've struggled to get him to eat right, and have tried a lot of different dry foods. I wanted a high protein food since he's so active.After the first couple of bags, I noticed his coat was softer and silky. He put on weight and is a healthy 60lbs. I also like this is dry food doesn't seem as hard for him to chew compared to other brands. It's a "softer" dry food and easy on his teeth. Overall, I've been very pleased with this product and what's it's done for my boy.Thank you Purina

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).....

Not worth the risk. Made my dogs both very ill.

PLEASE DON'T BUY THIS! My 14 y.o. dog got very sick, (runs, lethargy, labored breathing,) and wouldn't eat for days after 2 days of having this food. We thought it was just his age catching up to him, but then my 4 y.o. dog quit eating it too and had severe vomiting the 3rd day of serving this dog food. The "venision" pieces are like Styrofoam or packing peanut consistency. Almost synthetic looking. Please, don't risk it. Buy another dog food.

I got my happy dog back!

After my 5year old St. Bernard/Shepard mix became overweight, lethargic, anxious with hot spots, no desire to drink or eat on a regular basis, we decided to try a new food. I had a coupon for this brand of food, and this was the flavor I chose, as I didnt want chicken as a main protein. From the first bowl of incorporating the new food into his old food, he ate the whole bowl! The transition was easy and he finaly has so much spark back! He plays again, he got back to a healthy weight, with the help of some vet prescribed medications, his coat and hotspots are completely healed and healthy! I'm so glad we did this switch and I think my dog is too! The food has hard and soft bits, and I think that is a major plus!

Perfect wild chew for an indoor princess

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Lola loves the mix of textures. Chewy bites and crunchy bits. She is a diva beagle who cuddles and naps but chased rabbits as soon as we get outside. She is head first in the chewy pieces first and would probably like more, but this the only dog food she will eat.

28 day challenge?? More like 28 day gauntlet!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a beautiful 8 month old Australian Shepherd/Black Lab mix. She was perfectly healthy months 1-7 while I was feeding her Blue Wilderness puppy food and Blue Buffalo towards the end. After beginning the 28 day challenge, within a week there was a noticeable difference in her looks and behavior, and not for the better. She became very itchy, and has been losing patches of fur. Her eyes have been irritated and red, and has lacked that playful puppy energy she had. She doesn’t look nearly as healthy or happy as she was a little over a month ago. Which makes me not very happy. She’s also became pregnant during this 28 days and I hope to god that accepting this challenge don’t cause her any complications or issues. Not happy! 28 day challenge is a challenge alright. More like a gauntlet. Thought I’d save some money by switching from Blue but ended up costing more in the long run when you add the vet bill...

Amazing!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My girl started with Purina for puppies, then Purina One (chicken and rice) and now she’s been eating Purina One True Instinct for over 2 years. She loves it!! Her favorite is the Turkey and Venison, but I switch to Salmon or Chicken according to store availability. 100% recommended!!

Amazing dog food for a great price

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My dogs are very picky and have sensitive stomachs. Finding multiple brands they refused to eat. I came across this one and read the reviews and tried it with my golden retriever and heinz 57 mix puppy and they absolutely love it. There's also lots of variety and very affordable.
