super sooth pate makes for great use in kongs, lickymats, other puzzle toys, hiding meds

Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2023

I have two labs, one of which is picky so I don't bother giving him this. No reflection on the product.

I actually bought this for my sweet baby girl, his older lab sister who has terminal cancer at just 7 years of age. The prednisone she is on has really upped her appetite, and so I wanted additional food items to work with. I like that this is comprised of 95% beef and liver, and the remaining 5% is fruits, veg, healthy carbs. I am not aiming for grain free, not even aiming for low carb, but the ratio seemed good for her needs. The texture is an ultra smooth pate which works very well for using in licky mats, kongs, and for hiding her medications in. We also likePurina Beyond High Protein Pate. Instinct has always served us well over the years, and so I wanted to give this a whirl. So far so good

This has got to be the worst dog food I've ever seen. Three dogs and three cats and none of them would go near it. Seems like it's half water and smells disgusting! I am thoroughly discusted with the product and the cost was ridiculous. Can't even get the vultures out side to eat it!

Our Callie loves this food

For years I have used Instinct brand for our Callie. Now that she is a senior, I was looking for a high protein to go along with the Senior dry food and she loves it. I switch of and on with other foods to her meals interesting but when I use this one, you can tell she likes it better than any of the others. I will keep buying this for her as she continues to age like the rest of us. I would definitely recommend this to anyone wanting a quality canned dog food.

The consistency varies moderately between cans but overall both my dogs enjoy this one. My older boy with specific food allergies and my younger dog with a sensitive stomach both scarf this stuff down with no ill effects and if anything appear a little giddy afterwords. Great stuff. Pricey though. Getting pricier.

Even though I give this 5 stars 2 of the 12 cans of Instinct canned Rabbit dog food arrived dented, one of which I call badly dented but the food smelled fine when I opened that can. He gobbled it down along with his Instinct Original Chicken Small Breed kibble and green beans. Dog later got sick so I threw away that remaining can of food last night. Today he is feeling fine. Don't know if the cause was food from that dented can or not. My dog does great on the Instinct Original Chicken Small Breed kibble and Instinct canned rabbit. He's a miniature poodle and since being on these two Instinct varieties he no longer has tearing, which he did with other Instinct varieties. He had a sensitive stomach when we adopted him 7 years ago but that was never an issue once he was changed to Instinct years ago. I do add salt-free green beans and canned pumpkin to add volume and keep calories down. He loves his food and weight is where it should be.

Kind of a nasty watery mess. Don’t think it’s worth the cost.

My Maltese-Chihuahua mix is ten years old and nine pounds. She has had digestive issues since I've had her and I have tried the best brands that I could afford and even some I really couldn't. I even spent years making my own food for her just to ease her chronic constipation. I finally came across this brand and seeing that it didn't contain carrageenan, in addition to some other ingredients I had become wary of, I decided to try it. She absolutely loves the Beef flavor. Chicken flavor not so much but she hasn't liked chicken flavor in other brands either. I haven't tried the Rabbit flavor yet, but hope to soon. Best of all about this brand for me and my pup, no more painful constipation and gas! To keep this brand affordable for me, I purchase the large cans, empty into a plastic food container to keep in the refrigerator, and then feed her from it twice a day. It lasts about 4 days that way.
