Natural instinct dog food

[jak3]

Iv seen alot on this forum about natural instinct dog food and am looking to try Alfie on it, just have a couple of questions, is the consistency like wet dog food? I see on there website it has a description of chicken and bone, is this big lumps of bone, is it mainly chicken or mainly bone? I may be mis reading it totally but just wanting to check.
Also Alfie is 8months would he be on the puppy ones still, the food he is on just know is junior but I see they are either puppy or adult?

Thanks everyone!

Hi

It is the consistency of finely ground, almost mashed up, mince. The bone is ground down into small pieces with the meat, it's not like big lumps of bone or anything. Here are some pics




I think they advise switching to adult at 9 months.

Thanks that looks a better consistency than I had thought lol, he will be 9months on the 11th of august would I be as well going for the adult stuff?

i am switching to this i think it will be here tomorrow. thanks for those piccies i was wondering what it would look like to. if i where you i would go with the adult saving him the change of food but thats just my opinion whatever you decide it is a brilliant food so you cant go far wrong

The pictures are great  I have used Natural Instinct with mine and you should be fine going straight onto adult. Someone else has posted on the forum about NI saying they had only produced a puppy formula because people expected it  and there isn't much difference between the puppy and adult formulas in any case. I have bought some of the working chicken for my boys as it is on such a great offer at the minute. They are not working dogs but others have used it and they seem to be thriving on it

I was going to ask that about the working food, Alfie is a working cocker but is a pet does not work is there much difference with the food ? Is it mainly who are out working all day?

The main difference is it is VAT free and has added vitamin C, so better for your pocket.

Exactly Mine aren't working Cockers, far from it in fact  They actually seem to prefer the working formulas. Not sure why though?

[jak3]

Ah ok thanks, wasn't sure if they were maybe high calorie for very active dogs lol, will maybe give them a try!

Glad the pics helped.

Bingley much prefers the working foods too.

[jak3]

Is there any flavours that anyone would recommend in particular that went down well?

[jaybee]

Bingley loves the working beef one, I think it has tripe in it. He likes all of them though. Ordered some of the duck to try, should be coming tomorrow.

[jmanagh]

All of them  I think the beef is the favourite with ours too Stick with one flavour at a time though until you know your dog can tolerate it. You can then introduce something else.

The food he is on just know is turkey flavour so maybe try the chicken as might be nearest thing to it and see how he goes, I noticed on the web site they sell play bones are they any good, he has never had a proper bone before so don't want to introduce to much at once.
