Perfect limited Ingredient food for our boys
Our boys are on a limited ingredient diet. They’ve been eating this for years with no issues. We love that it has no dairy, eggs, potato, corn, wheat, soy and is grain free. There are very few alternatives out there this limited. We alternate between all the flavors and wish they would bring back the turkey flavor. The size of the kibble is good for our smaller boys. We give to our bigger boy as training treats. It's a bit pricy but we're happy we found this. Our boys love this and we’ve never had any issues over the years using this. This is a perfect limited ingredient dog food for us.

Great for allergies!
My dog has done extremely well on this food moreso than the “be natural” salmon flavor from Instinct. Her poops are finally firm and tiny (meaning she’s digesting the nutrients well). That alone makes the higher price per pound worth it. Also her allergies are significantly better and she’s itching a lot less. Wasn’t excited about the peas but it replaces the grains and it seems to be better for her that way anyways. Lots of long lasting energy for an 8 year old GSD too so carbs and blood glucose levels are good. High calorie content is also a huge plus so she gets 1.5 cups twice a day (72lbs and active). Her muscles are nice and defined on it, no weight gain, and her skin and coat look fantastic with no hair loss. Also her ear gunk has cleared up a lot and that’s a first. She’s allergic to nearly everything under the sun and finding a food without various animal fats, eggs, other animal protein, or yeast is a challenge. This fits all of those requirements.She tends to be a vacuum when it comes to food and rarely has issues with eating, this one in particular she really likes and goes crazy for it. I wish it came in large breed so the kibble could be bigger but it’s not that big of a deal. Makes for good treats too.The smell isn’t overbearing like some other brands for salmon and it’s dry so little to worry about as far as mold or pests. I keep it in a dog food container and stays great. A bag lasts us about 4-5 weeks depending if I use some for treats and days we have a lot of activity planned like hiking or bikejoring for a few hours and I’ll feed her some extra in the morning and after.All in all my dog is doing better than I could have expected and the price is well within my budget. Actual allergy friendly foods tend to go for $70-$110 a bag so $60 is REALLY nice. And as always I’m appreciative of the subscription discount and prime shipping. Never had any issues with delivery or payment (unlike chewy).

Instinct us a superior food!
The product is perfect! The shipping is always delayed, and out of 4 deliveries, zero have arrived on time! I canceled my subscription due to the unreliability forcing mt to change my dogs diet causing digestive distress. Not a happy a customer. However, the food has removed gas, improved their coat and my dog craves thier meal.

I have a COMPLETELY new dog!!!!!!!!!!
I have a Golden Retriever who is allergic to EVERYTHING. Poor girl, it took me until she was two to weed out everything from her diet. She is allergic to all poultry, all fish, eggs, dairy, obviously corn, wheat, and soy, but also things like sweet potatoes and certain oils. She can eat the beef flavor ONLY of the Blue Buffalo canned (wet) dog food. I was feeding her that exclusively until I found this. This is the first dry dog food I have found that she can eat. Her goopy eye is all but dried up, she isn’t itchy anymore, and she behaves like a normal dog. For a long time we thought she was just naughty! She whined constantly and just couldn’t relax. It was all allergies. When you go and read the ingredients of dry dog foods, most of them have some type of poultry byproduct or fish oil in them. So what I do now is I feed her three cans of the Blue Buffalo Beef a day, breakfast, lunch and dinner, and then I free-feed this dry dog food. (I have it out 24/7 with fresh water beside it.) For reference she is about 60lbs. For the canned food it says feed one can 10 lbs, but I prefer 3 cans a day + the dry food and it seems she does too. I’m so glad I didn’t give up on this little girl and I hope this review helps someone! I grew up with Goldens, and this is my second one as an adult, and I have never had a Golden with so many allergies before. It sounds mean, but I always thought people who said their dogs had all these allergies were being dramatic. It is tough, but so worth it when you figure it out and that little puppy girl is finally able to relax and live her best life! We had tried pheromones spray, pheromone diffuser, thunder shirt, melatonin, natural herbs, medication- nothing worked. Turned it it was her food.

Good
My dog likes it. I switched over from another instinct product and her poop definitely got softer over the days. The smell is very strong, not even fishy, just strongly like dog food. If you have a sensitive nose, do not leave out for too long.

Saving us! Took us a year to find this. We were miserable
We have bullies. We have had crazy vet bills, we take the 2 month shots, been on several different- very expensive food. Skin infections, yeast issues, and so on and so on!!! Miserable, itchy, smelly boys. Vet willing to pile as much money on as many visits as possible.We found a food we liked, became unavailable. Found another food that was ok and the ap was very difficult to navigate and not user friendly. Wasn't in love with the results, so I decided to try this stuff after results I read here.This stuff is wonderful and Amazon shipping is dependable. Very please with no itchy smelly bullys and price is par for specialty food.I'm so incredibly pleased with this product. TRY IT FOR SURE. SALMON & PEAS IS FOR US!
