Lab itching incessantly

Tried to transition from Kirkland Nature’s Domain to Trie Instinct Turkey and Venison for our two year old black lab. We saw all the benefits but she must be sensitive to something in the food. We’re not quite through a large bag, blending with the Kirkland, and she is itching like crazy. Good product, just doesn’t agree with our Lab.

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!

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.

Change in formula

My dog still loves this food, but after finally finding a good with little to no chicken products, the formula change seems to have upset his stomach. We've ruled out other bleeding causes, and this started happening about the time the formula swap hit shelves. I love Purina (as does the hound) and we may try something else or switch, but bloody bums from a formula swap isn't really something I'd like to battle

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.

Great results

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I switched to this food on my veterinarian's recommendation and the results are amazing. After a lifetime of leaky stools, periodic enteritis, etc, we put him on this food and the results have been more than I could have hoped for.

Turkey and venison

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have 3 dogs that burn energy through most of the day then take a nap before acting like three nutcases. They love the Turkey and venison even though it does get expensive. I think more of my dogs than to feed them cheap food.

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.

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).....

Toby gobbles this right up!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We had a hard time finding a dog food that our dog would eat. We wanted something that the first ingredient was meat and found this and he ate it as soon as we put it out. This is the first thing we tried after puppy food and will continue to keep him on this.
