MOLDY Dog Food
MOLD. Be sure you check out your bag of Instinct upon shipment arrival. The bag I received today had mold inside - on the side of the bag, as well as on kibble pieces. See the pictures so you know what to look for!I reported this to Amazon customer service. I was offered a refund. I will be discarding the twenty pound bag.I’m glad I remembered to check the expiration date (Jan 23 2021) and inspected the bag before feeding it to my dog. The moldy pieces are not very evident if you don’t take the time to look at the kibble.My thirteen year old Boston Terrier has been eating Nature’s Variety Instinct dog food for about ten years. I’ve occasionally picked up other high(er) end brands, but continued to come back to this brand (usually the chicken and salmon versions) because the ingredients did not cause my dog to be gassy and stinky. Also, she has kept a beautiful coat, great teeth and overall, a very healthy body. However, I think I’ll just switch to Stella & Chewys and/or Open Farm - similar prices and a lot less complaints.I normally purchase this dog food at a small chain located in the Bay Area, however I have purchased this brand about four or five times on Amazon. In hindsight, there were a few times my dog was sick with vomiting and diarrhea. While I was often guessing it was food related, I wasn’t always able to pinpoint the cause of her sickness episodes. I suspected her food, a bad bone (we also keep those to a specific bone brand) or something she picked up on the ground during a walk.I’m done with Nature’s Variety. The brand was consistent ten years ago and then lost many loyal followers when the company sold the product to another company.

Reviewed in Mexico on January 18, 2024
En la descripción del producto dice que es de 10.2 kilos, sin embargo en el empaque dice que es de 9 kilos. Pareciera que no es mucha la diferencia pero si lo es, sobre todo considerando que no es un alimento barato.

Ojalá el vendedor corrija la descripción, o entregue el producto anunciado en la publicación, de otra forma es una estafa.

Ahora si, en cuanto al sabor, parece gustarles, aunque a mi husky no le fascina como esperaba, sin embargo he notado que sus heces son un poco más firmes que con otros alimentos. Veremos con el tiempo si hay alguna mejora en el pelaje y salud en general. Actualízaré la reseña de ser necesario.
