Only dog food my dog likes!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried many different dry dog foods around 10 years ago whenever I first got my dog including different flavors of Purina ONE True Instinct but the only one he would eat was the Purina ONE True Instinct with Turkey and Venison. He absolutely LOVES the big soft pieces so much so that every day and time when I feed him he picks them out to eat first. Buddy and I 100/10 recommend Purina ONE True Instinct with Real Turkey and Venison!🥰🥰

Great product. Shipping should be free for Plus.

My dogs love this! One of them is a little picky, but she eats it right up. However, it's too expensive to pay $8.00 to have it shipped. It's not in stock at my local Sam's Club. I just think Sam's Club should ship it for free for Plus if they're not going to carry it in the club, (shame on you.) I can get it shipped free from another merchant, and that's more cost effective, given Sam's shipping cost.

in which one spills all the tea

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm a regular book blogger and reviewer so this is my usual thing, except it's a product review and y'all can sit down, grab a cuppa tea and a cookie, because this review spilling it. I have a service dog and two dorkdogs and they're all spoiled rotten. Ages 10 (M), 7 (N), and 6 (S). This review is a smidgen different from the regular explicitly honest reviews on my site because public forum. Also, according to FTC guidelines, I get to say "I wasn't given a product in exchange for an honest reivew", I was given a sample to try to get me to come over to their side. Now, this is me seeing the results of this product and deciding to spill all the tea into the harbour, colonial style. Why did I give this new shiny product 1 star when everything else is 4 or 5? Because this stuff was trying to kill my dogs and well, I don't take kindly to that. If I could, I'd give it 0 stars and certain gesture, but I'm a good Southern girl. So, bless your heart, Purina One. I decided to try this product because I was looking to upgrade my dogs' food since I try to give them the best I can afford (or not lol). A certain yellow bag that sponsors dog shows has been our tried and true brand for roughly 10 years and well, now that I can afford better, I've been looking and this was the first thing I encountered that didn't have any of the dogs' allergens or my family's allergens. (spoiler - we have a lot) Moving on. My trio liked the sample packets of the kibble so I went out and bought a proper bag to start their 7 day integration period. And they had their fun eating it and chowing down, cleaning their bowls properly instead of the lackadaisical grazing. Then we hit the first week of pure feed. N and S are pickier than my omnivore M, N being the pickiest of all. N and S would empty their bowls by the mouthful across the floor, lego-style, and pick what they wanted to eat and leave the rest. Only if I pushed a 'clean up your mess' command, did they pick it up. Then this past week, my dogs have steadfastly refused to touch their food. We've been mixing in beef broth, pumpkin soup, and cans of wet feed, and, even Chinese takeout. to convince them to eat. But enough is enough. In the past 3 weeks of their being exposed to PurinaOne, my dogs have developed a complete loss of interest in play, they barely drink water, we're feeding them popsicles to keep them hydrated, they have recurring bouts of explosive diarrhea, rampant hair loss, and their skin is so dried out that they're constantly scratching and chewing and licking. Yesterday was the 14-day mark of the 28 Day Challenge, but I refuse to continue since I value my dogs. I swung by Petco today and we're doing a hard switch to it tonight, no integration period, just to get my dogs off of this garbage. My advice to any readers is to keep their dogs (and cats since they have a cat food line) as far as possible from even smelling this toxic waste. If I had it within my power to give negative marks on a review, this would be the product I'd do it on. I have 3 dogs that need serious TLC and a vet visit to recover from their experience with this food.

Perfect Pallet

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My dogs love this switch from Pro Plan to Purina One True Instinct. While switching over, they would sift through the bowl to find the new flavor, and have loved this food since the switch. Thanks Purina! My dogs, horses, and cat are all Purina fans, and I wouldn’t choose anything less than quality for them.

The easily digestible, nutrient-dense recipe also has no animal by-products and no artificial flavors or preservatives.

Great Dog Food

Purina One is the only dry dog food that my dogs would eat. I tried them with many different brands of dog food, and this one is the only one they will go back to. Highly recommended for anyone looking to try it out. It does not hurt to try. Worth every penny for me.

Increasing poor quality

I have purchased for 10+ years now, affordable and good ingredients. My dog has always loved. Until recently, the last several bags you get towards the the bottom of bagis dust...and she just doesn't like it. I have never had this problem and if it was one bag I can see., but it has been several. There no holes in bag. I have checked. I don't usually leave reviews but feeding a boxer and a doberman is expensive and 1/4 bag is crap.

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!

Picky pants

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My dog is very particular about what she eats, so have been struggling to find kibble that she likes and will consistently eat for 3 years… she likes this, and at times even chooses it over chicken.

Natural love True instinct

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After just 30 days, I noticed a big change in my 2-year-old pup. He’s full of energy, plays more than ever, and looks forward to every meal. I also love that it’s available in a non-poultry option, which works perfectly with his food allergies. Now, after three months, the difference is incredible—he’s healthier, happier, and thriving. I'm so Happy, he is just as pleased
