Like everything in life now, dog food prices are absolutely insane. I am not only responsible for my dog and his needs, but my roommate's dogs (yes, plural ðŸ˜) so five in total. My boy happens to be gigantic so he requires a lot of kibble and the rest are medium-large sized with the last one being a Chihuahua.
They're all quite picky, you'd think they were born and raised in Beverly Hills with their refined palates so it's a struggle to say the least finding one they'll all eat. Kibble taste aside, I normally add a topper like albacore, shredded boiled chicken breast, rice, just to mix it up for them and make their diet a little less monotonous. The majority of their diet, however, is kibble.
For the longest I was buying Purina One True Instinct for them because it was one they all loved and ate with no problem. Also, when researching good dog food brands Purina was always near the top of the list. Recently, though, I've had to start purchasing a more affordable kibble and this is the one that I chose since it's also by Purina and the price was great. I was skeptical and nervous they were going to turn their little noses up at it then pee on my carpet in protest but thankfully they did not. I honestly think they like this food better.
The reason I say that is because there is rarely an empty bowl after feeding time. Now could that be attributed to a difference in nutritional value/content, like the True Instinct is more filling thus they don't have to eat as much to feel full therefore they leave some in their bowl? Possibly. Actually, maybe.
Regardless, this is bar none the BEST deal money wise, taste wise, etc., that you can find right now for dry dog food so I would not feel apprehensive to buy it as a dog owner if I were you. Purina is one of the best dog food brands, and you can look that up yourself if you wish, as they spend the money on R%26D (research and development) and given that fact I feel safe feeding it to my dog(s) that I love dearly. And you should too.
Oh, one last thing I feel like I should add: the size of the kibble itself was great. Not too big, not too small. As I told you earlier I have a pretty good and diverse sample size of dogs—the biggest being 120lbs and he's a Shepard mix, the smallest being a Chihuahua. His name is Oakley. With some dog foods I find the kibble size is a tad too big for Oakley but this one was perfect for all the dogs. I also appreciated the kibble not being super colorful as one thing I've noticed with more affordable kibbles is how they've colored pieces bright red and green. That also annoys and upsets me because there's absolutely no reason for my dog's food to contain artificial colorings. He eats sh** for heavens sake, he doesn't care that his food is Christmas themed. Anyway, none of that here, thankfully! Hope this helps someone.
