Instinct describes them as 100% human grade, made with real ingredients you can see. The Cage-Free Chicken recipe is the simplest of the three: one meat, a handful of vegetables, brown rice and a few herbs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's actually in it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eChicken and chicken broth lead the list, and they are the only animal ingredients. Peas, carrots and kale follow, with brown rice and tapioca for carbohydrates. Sunflower oil adds fat, and the recipe finishes with turmeric, sage, thyme and rosemary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a lean, high-moisture meal: 2% minimum fat and up to 80% moisture. That's quite different from a rich canned loaf, so it fills the bowl without packing in calories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it suits, and who it doesn't\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt suits a healthy adult dog, especially one avoiding beef, pork or fish, and families who like the look of real pieces of food in the bowl. It works as a full meal or a topper over kibble.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt isn't meant for growing puppies, since Instinct's AAFCO statement covers maintenance only. It isn't the right pick for a dog avoiding chicken or peas, or a family wanting a grain-free food.
