    The main selling point for me was that it’s grain-free and made with raw ingredients. Max has a bit of a sensitive tummy and he’s done great on this food! He really seems to enjoy the taste too, gets all excited at mealtime now – reminds me of a wagging tornado!

    One downside though: it is fairly pricey compared to other brands, but if your budget allows for it, why not give it a shot? There’s also less variety in flavors compared to some other brands but that hasn’t been an issue for us.

    juts remember that every dog is unique in their dietary needs so try out a small bag first and see how your furry buddy does on it. Hope this helps! 🐾

    I’ve been using Instinct dog food for a few months now and my two pups seem to love it. Personally, I like the fact it’s grain-free – that’s a huge plus for me as my Beagle has some allergies and she’s been responding really well to this change. It might be pricier than other brands but I feel like it’s worth the investment for their health.

    I got them on the Raw Boost line – it combines high-protein kibble and freeze-dried raw pieces together in the same bag, which they absolutely go mad for! My dogs have definitely had improvements in their coat health and energy levels.

    Just remember to transition your dog slowly onto a new brand though, don’t just switch from one meal to another. Each pup’s stomach is different and you don’t want to upset them with a sudden change!

    Anyway, I’d definitely give Instinct a thumbs up. mabye grab a small bag first to see if your dog takes to it? Cheers!

    I have a 4-year-old Golden Retriever named Riley, and we’ve been feeding him Instinct for about a year now. Honestly, it’s one of the best decisions we’ve made. His coat is glossy, and he’s got energy for days! The vet also says he’s at great weight for his size, so that’s a win.

    One thing to note though – if you’re switching from another brand, do it gradually, just to avoid upsetting their stomachs. We did it over a week or so, starting with mostly old stuff then increasing the Instinct portion each day.

    Oh, and can I just say? The ingredient list reads like something out of a health conscious human’s cook book! All real food you can actually recognize. No vague “meat derivatives” or suspicious filler content. It might be on the pricier side compared to some other brands but IMO you get what you pay for and this is worth it.

    On the downside – be prepared for your pupper not wanting anything else once they’ve tasted this LOL. Good luck with your decision!

    For starters, it’s grain-free which is fantastic for dogs with certain allergies. Boomer specifically had some problems with grains so switching to Instinct has made wonders for his coat and overall health. Plus, the highest ingredient listed on their packages is always real meat – not some mystery substance like a lot of other brands.

    Now about the downside, the only one I can think of is its price tag. If you’re budget-conscious, this might pinch a little. But hey, I see it as an investment in Boomer’s health in the long run.

    All up to your preference and what you’re willing to do for your little buddy at the end of the day. For us, Instinct’s been a great switch!

    Hope that helps out!

    He’s also got a bit of a sensitive stomach and we found this stuff has really helped him. Noticed fewer incidents of upset tummies since we made the switch. The ingredient list is impressive too, simple yet nutritious.

    That said, it is kinda pricey compared to other brands but hey, anything for our fur buddies right? Plus, saving on vet bills due to less allergies and health issues kinda balances it out in my book.

    Don’t juts take my word for it though. Give it a go if you’re considering the switch and see how your pup responds!

    As soon as we made the switch to Instinct, she perked up almost immediately – shiny coat, healthy weight, lots of energy; the whole works! I especially love that it has chunks of raw meat alongside the dry stuff. It’s kind of like a bonus treat for Bella. The ingredients list is impressive too – lots of natural proteins and minerals with no fillers or sketchy sounding chemicals.

    One downside though – it’s on the pricier side. But in exchange for my girl’s wellbeing, that’s a trade-off I’m willing to make. She’s worth every penny.

    Hope this helps! And remember – every dog is unique so you might still want to test it out to see if your pup takes to it. Let us know how it goes!

    I’ve been feeding my pup Instinct dog food for about 6 months now, and I can definitely see some positive changes! Max’s coat is shinier than ever, he’s stopped scratching as much and his poops are solid – sorry if TMI, but us dog owners know that matters, right?

    I was initially skeptical due to the price being a bit steep, but once I saw the grain-free ingredients list, and how they use real meat instead of fillers, I thought it would be worth a shot. Plus, Max just can’t get enough of the chicken flavor.

    The only downside is that it took Max a little while to adjust to the new food which made his stomach a bit upset in between. But after transitioning slowly over a few weeks (mixing the old and new food gradually), everything evened out.

    Long story short, if you’re thinking about making the switch to Instinct dog food, I say go for it. Just remember to transition your pet slowly if they have a sensitive tummy like my boy Max does!

    Cheers,

    I’ve got my two fur-babies, a Lab and a Boxer, on Instinct currently. Honestly, I haven’t seen such an improvement in their coats and overall energy before. One major plus point for me is that it’s grain-free. My Lab has some sensitivity to grains and this brand has worked wonders for her.

    The price tag can be a bit steep compared to other brands on the market, but for me, quality trumps quantity any given day. Plus, they both absolutely love the taste (scored big on the flavor fronts too).

    To break downs of steps a little: First off, I transitioned them very slowly over about two weeks. No sudden food changes in this household; we all know that can be a recipe for disaster!

    Then I made sure to order from reliable retailers because there are some knock-offs floating around out there – ain’t no one got time for that.

    All things said and done, Instinct gets two thumbs up from us! How about the rest of you guys? Any good/bad experiences?

    Always love hearing from other dog parents. Cheers!

    Paws and love,
    [Your Name]

    Hey there, fellow dog lovers!

    So, I’ve been using Instinct dog food for about 6 months now and let me tell ya, my Golden Retriever, Baxter, is absolutely loving it. The ingredients are top-notch quality – you won’t see any filler items like corn or soy. Just a bunch of whole foods, like real meat as the first ingredient. Plus, they have grain-free options too which was super important for Baxter because he’s got a sensitive stomach.

    Also noticed a substantial improvement in his coat – it’s been way shinier since we made the switch. Not sure if all dogs would have the same results though… Baxter is pretty unique! 😉

    The only downside I’d say is the price. It’s definitely one of the pricier brands out there but honestly, for me it’s totally worth it knowing my fur baby is getting the good stuff! Anyway, just wanted to pop in and share how much Baxter and I love Instinct dog food.

    And remember folks, every doggo is different! What works for Baxter may not be suitable for your pet at all so always chat with your vet before switching up their diet.

    Woof ya later! 🐾

    Price-wise, yeah, it’s a bit on the pricier side, but I look at it as an investment in my buddy’s health. If he’s gonna be contented and healthy then it’s worth every penny to me. Just make sure you transition your dog gradually onto it if they’ve been eating something else because sudden changes can upset their stomach.

    That said, every dog is different and what works for Rufus might not work for yours. Vet approval is a good idea before making any diet changes. Hope this helps!

    Health-wise, I’ve also seen some positive changes. Her coat appears shinier and she just seems more energetic overall. There’s less filler and more real protein in Instinct food which is what you really want for your fur-baby.

    The only downside? The price tag is not pocket friendly! But if your budget allows, I’d definitely recommend giving it a whirl at least once. I mean there’s no harm trying it out once right? Be sure to gradually introduce any new food though, you don’t want to upset their tummies. Just my two cents!

    My golden retriever has been on Instinct dog food for around a year now. We switched from a different brand because he was having some tummy issues, it was really hard to see him uncomfortable and not his happy-go-lucky self. I heard about Instinct from a friend of mine who swore by it, praised it for being grain-free and full of healthy ingredients.

    Honestly, within a few weeks of making the switch, we saw a major difference! His digestion issues have considerably improved and his coat is shinier than ever. And, he absolutely loves the chicken flavor!

    One downside (if you can even call it that) is the price point. It’s definitely pricier than some brands out there but in my opinion, totally worth it considering how it’s benefited my buddy. After all, nothing too good comes cheap right?

    In conclusion, I’m super happy with Instinct dog food and would recommend giving it a go if your pup is facing any digestive problems. But remember – every dog is unique and what works for one might not work for all so carefully watch how your dog responds to any new food.
    Cheers!

    I started using Instinct dog food for my golden retriever, Cooper, about 6 months ago. I was a bit skeptical initially, mainly due to the price point, but I’ve got no regrets now. Let’s be real, it’s pricier than most other brands out there but the difference it’s made to Coop… kinda makes it worth it.

    He used to have a sensitive tummy annd we were at the vet’s more often than I’d like. Since switching to Instinct though, those issues have disappeared almost entirely. His coat is shinier than ever and he seems so much more energetic during our playtimes in the park.

    But of course, every dog is different and what works well for one might not for another. Even within Instinct, there are so many different formulas you can opt for based on your dog’s specific dietary needs – grain-free, high-protein, raw boost and whatnot.

    I’d say consult with your vet before making a switch. However, from my personal experience with Cooper, I would confidently give Instinct two thumbs up. Hope that helps!

    His energy level is off the charts and his coat is silkier than ever. Plus he gobbles up every meal like there’s no tomorrow. So according to Duke, taste seems A+.

    I checked out the ingredients too when I first started him on it, and I was happy to see it’s grain-free since Duke’s got a bit of a sensitive tummy. Also, can’t really argue with real meat being the first ingredient!

    The only downside? The price is a bit steep compared to some other brands. But hey, we love our fur-babies, right? So for me it’s worth it seeing Duke so happy and healthy. But everyone’s budget is different so definitely consider that part too. Hope this mini-review helps! 🐾🐶
