4 puppies

We have 4 puppies ranging from 3lbs to 10(3 month's to a little over a year) and they all seem to love it especially the venison pieces are the first to go. They are happy and energetic. The bag we got with the coupon went fast and we gave gone through one 42lb bag after that and are almost through our second

Purina ONE is The ONE for Scout!

After Scout’s surgery to remove liver mass, vet said to feed meat. Purina ONE with turkey and venison is loaded with nutrients and he does jumping jacks at feeding time. Now, three months later, post-op lab results are in and much improved. Mass caused anemia, but his red cell count is now at high normal. Vet and Scout are happy. He has regained weight lost, coat is thicker, no more shedding, and he is pulling me around the block again. Very alert, high energy Brittany once again and nearly 11 yrs old! Excellent product. Scout deserves the best!

The best all around food for various sz dogs!

I have 4 dogs, from a mastiff, a mixed breed and 2 miniature dash hounds. Don't question, long story on how I ended up with 4 dogs! This food has proven to be the best choice to feed all 4 with no size problems. The mastiff is very content with both the kibble and the soft pieces. Then the mixed breed at 45lbs, and the 9lb dash hounds are all happy with the size of the food. No more different versions of a food to suit the various size dogs! I normally gauge the quality of the food by their waste. The majority of this is used by the dogs system. The waste is once a day, well formed. Poor nutrition dog food causes excess waste with a soft consistency. Not a nice thing to discuss, but a sure way to tell if the food is being used by the dogs digestive system to get the nutrients into the dog. This food is as good as it gets before you get to the pricey foods. My dogs have been eating this for years, they are getting old, but they don't act like they are. I do give Purina ONE one of the reasons why. I recommend this food for the reasons above. And more, but I am not going to write a novel. They love the turkey and venison, and the salmon and tuna is their favorite, but fair warning, the salmon will give them fish breath. They love it, so I sometimes mix it with the turkey to lower the fish breath a little. Overall, I am really happy with the feed and so are my dogs!

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!!

My dogs love it!

My Great Dane had a very sensitive stomach when I got her. This food did the trick and she loves it. My heeler has sensitive skin to some foods but not this one and she loves it. My boston, and my chihuahua both love it as well. All around great food. The salmon formula is great as well. The soft pieces in the food seem to be a hit my chihuahua picks them all out if he can. Haha

Took the Purina One Challenge A Winner!

My Goldendoodle, Augie, had allergies that caused extreme yeast infections in her ears. Very disgusting. When I got the $3 coupon for One, we tried the Turkey and Venison. Within a week, her ears were clean, smelling fresh and now a year has gone by with no more yeast problems. She loves the soft pieces and picks them out first, later she finishes it all. I won't change again!

Vet recommended food

We have six dogs. 1 is a bad diabetic, one has a digest disorder, one is in congestive heart failure and 3 Jack Russells. Our diabetic was having a hard time getting his numbers to the normal range and was up to over 40 units of insulin a day. Our digest disorder would get sick and start passing blood. With that we would have to get antibiotics and give him a pill for weeks to settle and coat his stomach. The congestive heart failure just didn’t want to eat. The Russells, well they are Russells and their metabolism is thru the roof. Our Vet suggested that we try this food bc they felt it was the best and would cover the issues across the board. They were completely right. Our diabetic has his number to almost normal with 30 units of insulin a day. Trust me this is great news. Our digestive disorder dog has not been on any type of meds and hasn’t had a flare up. Again this is great news. Our congestive heart failure has finally showed interest in eating again. Again great news. The Russells are not loosing wt and our littlest Jack has gained 2 pound which puts him up to 10 pounds. Our Vet is very pleased as well. We finally have found a found what works with the whole gang. I can’t say enough about this food.

Dogs thrive

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Sammy is my 4th dog that I have fed True Instincts after switching from Iams many years ago. My dogs have all loved it, no stomach problems, and they have good skin and coats. More expensive, but well worth it.

ABSOLUTELY LOVE PURINA!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our lab Lilley goes absolutely crazy for the taste of Purina One True Instinct! We have been buying this brand for many years and it never disappoints. Lilley loves the taste. It keeps her coat shiny and beautiful! We as pet parents feel great feeding her Purina One True Instinct, because of all the nutritional benefits. Lilley is 14 years old and still thinks and acts like she's 2. LOL I personally believe it's from the benefits of Purina One! Thank you Purina for keeping Lilley happy!

True Instinct made a True Believer out of me!

I have a 3 year old pitbull that I wanted him to be the dog that caught your eye. I have spent a fortune on high priced, high protein high everything dog food until he quit eating it Then I went through bags and cans of more high priced food but couldn’t find anything that he really wanted. So in a hurry I grabbed a bag of True Instinct w/Venison & Turkey and he loved it. Ever since then it’s all I feed him and all he’ll eat and the results have been amazing! He is now the dog that does catch your eye! Best dog food I’ve ever found. Don’t change what you doing cause I can’t afford trying to find something to replace it.
