My Shadow

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My Shadow loves the Purina One true Instincts!! He is so much healthier since we switched him to true Instincts and his coat is so much healthier. He has been a lot more of the active dog we know he can be.

True Instinct

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My German Shorthaired Pointer burns ALOT of calories and is a pickey eater. He needed a nutritious, higher fat content food. Purina turkey, duck,quail was d/ced so we turned to turkey/venison and he loves it!! No worries on if he will eat any longer.

I like it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I believe this food is 100%better than the ones that are 'cooked' or 'baked' so long that all they are is hard nasty rock like pieces of what they call food. I hated it every time I had to buy that trash. So most of the time Iwe fed our dogs the same meats we ate. It was so much better for them.

Healthy Weight

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My veterinarian keeps commending me on all 3 of my dogs weight. Beagles are notorious for becoming overweight easily, especially after being fixed. My vet keeps telling me to continue what I am doing. I give the credit to the dog food. They eat a lot, they are no where close to being overweight. They love the food. So I Love it too!

6lb yorkie loves flavor & small bites

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have 2 dogs who are 10 & 2 yrs old with 1 being 45lb and other 6lb both love the taste and the bites are perfect nice for a small breed and a senior with teeth issues to be able to chew. My senior dog has stomach issues so there are very few foods and treats her stomach can handle. She has done great on this food which gives me relief knowing she loves taste and is able to enjoy it without making her vomit for hours and hear her tummy rumbling from another room. I feel terrible for her when her tummy gets like that and this food she has had very few flare ups. We have tried many of foods and only food she was able to handle was the extremely expensive prescription food.

Maverick loves turkey, and venison

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My dog will look at it all of half a day before eating dog food, but once he starts it's gone! 2 dishes/4cups. Turkey is the 1st ingredient in it. BUT then 7th into it is unfortunately whole grain wheat

True Instinct

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My babies love it! We rescued a dog and gave him the same thing our dogs ate, when we rehomed him I sent a bag if this with him, His new owner tried another food and he wouldn't eat it so he had to pou him back on the true Instinct, I told him it was because the dog had been living off the land and was use to real meats.

Love this food

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My Standard Poodle has a sensitive stomach but had grown tired of a special food he had been eating for years. It has been a wild and expensive ride to FINALLY find this turkey and venison flavor. He absolutely has been so excited with his new flavor and has not had any issues. He has not thrown up one time after slowly changing to this brand. He is eating more and never leaves any in his bowl. I am so happy my fur baby is happy.

My Dogs Favorite

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve rescued several dogs, and the True Instinct Turkey & Venison formula is hands down their favorite. While it’s a bit expensive, especially when feeding four dogs of very different sizes, it’s been worth it. They love this variety, and it seems to have more of the softer, tender morsels, which makes it much easier for my senior dogs to chew. I can definitely tell a difference in their appetite and enthusiasm at mealtime whenever the Turkey & Venison formula is out of stock.

My dogs love it. No upset stomachs.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My dogs love it as much as the very expensive premium brands. No stomach problems but my Boston Terrier gas problems have not improved but I think that’s her breed’s problem. They seem healthy. My vet tell me to stay away from grain free food and Purina One is not a grain free type of food.
