Great food

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My dog absolutely loves this. I have tried the best of the best, and she hates it. I got her this food and she will not eat anything but. She hasn’t had any allergies to it. Her coat looks great. Zero complaints.

Texture, taste and nutrition

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had Siberian huskies since 1995. I show and compete in skijor races, so a perfect fit, healthy dog with a perfect coat in necessary. I have fed every food you can. Seriously. Samples at fog shows help. Recently I was a puppy camp for a prospective show pup and she came with Purina True Instinct. Multiples three inhaled it, licked the bowls and asked for more. OK, here we come Sam’s Club. Then I had another puppy camp. This one camp with Purina Pro Plan Performance 30-20. My newest show puppy said,” I WANT that. So I now feed 2 kinds of food and my dogs could not be happier. Sunny finished her championship at under 13 months of age. Healthy happy dogs, from the inside out!

Quality food for dry dog food.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been feeding my dog True Instinct for years and it’s from a brand that I trust. I noticed that apart from the dry kibble it comes with dried turkey bites. Which threw me off when I saw it once get wet it literally becomes protein. My dog’s been healthy and she enjoys the food and I cannot ask for more from the product. I fully recommend this, if you’re looking for a better quality kibble versus the old fashion kibble.

Sailor's favorite

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purina one true instincts is one of the best dog food products around. I have a large mixed breed dog who has high energy but also a sensitive stomach. I never have any issues with Purina One and I will continue using it.

Liked this more in the past

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used to feed this exclusively to my dog and switched to a different purina one. I recently tried giving it to him and I don’t know, I don’t think it was the same. It is still pretty good food overall.

This food is perfect for my dogs!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] All of my dogs truly love this turkey and venison flavored dog food. Not only do they love the taste and devour it at every meal, but with just one whiff they get excited knowing that their food is coming.

Lilo can tolerate this with her sensitiv

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My French Bulldog is very intolerant to a lot of foods so we're trying this new one that does not contain chicken or beef I'm hoping that this will solve her stomach issues because we sure do like your brand of products thank you for all your research that you do

Setters LOVE mix with tender morsels!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My Irish Setter female thrives on this food! The high 30% protein, with real turkey as the first ingredient, supports her active lifestyle and strong muscles. We've also noticed a shinier, healthier coat thanks to the Omega-6 fatty acids. It's a natural, nutrient-dense option with no artificial flavors or preservatives. However, one con is I believe my one female might be sensitive to the diverse ingredients, potentially causing minor digestive upset. One pro for my girls is mixed kibble texture with tender morsels is a hit, making their mealtimes exciting. Pro- palatable because they are picky eaters! Con- more expensive

We purchased this on November 15th only to find moths flying around inside the bag when we opened it. It’s stored inside our house in not outside. It also had a powdered consistency this purchase. Which happens from time to time. We have been purchasing this food for over 10 years. Needless to say I’m changing brands.

We truly appreciate you sharing this with us. Moths have no place in your dog's food, and we want to make it right. Our cooking process and quality assurance measures simply wouldn't allow any sort of insects to be in our finished foods. In rare cases, insect presence may result from damage to the packaging after the product leaves our facility. We'd like to gather additional information to learn more and lend a helping hand. Please give us a call at 1-866-787-4621 (866-PURINA1) at your convenience. We are available from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. (CT) Monday through Saturday. We look forward to speaking with you. - The ONE Team

Lab/pit mix picky eater

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] She seems to eat this flavor a little bit more than the chicken or lamb and rice. I'm still concerned she's not eating enough. I do not want to introduce any type of wet food for fear of her not eating the dry all together.

Thank you for giving it a try and sharing this with us. It's great to hear that your dog likes ONE True Instinct with a Blend of Real Turkey & Venison Dog Food. We understand you want the best for your Lab dog. As pet lovers and pet parents ourselves, we can assure you that our products are thoroughly evaluated to ensure that pets can maintain their normal health and vitality when fed diets composed entirely of Purina food. When a pet's diet is changed, it should be done gradually over a 7-10 day period by adding small amounts of new food to the food the pet is currently being fed. Since our recipes offer several benefits, we always recommend consulting with your trusted veterinarian first, as they're in the best position to examine your Lab/Pit and determine their needs.
