Alongside the high-protein kibble Instinct mixes in jerky strips, freeze-dried raw pieces, chewy morsels and air-dried bites.

Dried chicken (the jerky and air-dried pieces), freeze-dried chicken, chicken liver and chicken heart all appear on the list, and turkey meal and fish meal add to the protein. At 34% minimum protein it is the highest-protein chicken kibble in the Instinct range we stock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eInstinct describes five kinds of pieces in the bag: kibble, jerky strips, freeze-dried raw bites, chewy morsels and air-dried bites. The chewy pieces are softened with coconut glycerin. It is grain-free, with peas, tapioca, sweet potato as the starches. Flaxseed and salmon oil bring omega fatty acids, which Instinct includes to support skin and coat, and Instinct adds a probiotic blend to support digestive health.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it suits, and who it doesn't\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt suits a healthy, active adult dog who loves variety in the bowl, and the picky eater who gets bored with plain kibble.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eInstinct's AAFCO statement is for adult maintenance only, so it isn't the bag for a puppy.

Instinct notes that ideal amounts depend on age, weight and activity level. For dogs over 100 lb, Instinct only says that ideal amounts depend on age, weight and activity level. Spayed or neutered and less active dogs often need the lower end of the range. Check your dog's body condition after two or three weeks... ribs easy to feel under a thin layer, a waist visible from above... and adjust. Always keep fresh water out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSwitching over\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eChange foods gradually over about a week.

For a 50 lb adult eating 2¼ cups a day (the top of Instinct's adult range), that's about 6 days and about 4 weeks respectively. Cup counts are worked out from Instinct's published calorie figures and are close estimates, since kibble settles as a bag is handled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eStorage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eKeep the food in its original bag, rolled down tight, somewhere cool and dry. If you use a bin, put the whole bag inside it rather than pouring the kibble in, so the lot number stays with the food. Because Instinct includes freeze-dried raw ingredients, wash your hands after handling the food and wash your dog's bowl after each meal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Instinct by Nature's Variety","offers":[{"title":"3.5-lb","offer_id":67685299290397,"sku":"52137","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"17-lb","offer_id":67685299323165,"sku":"52128","price":91.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0079\/0498\/5185\/files\/6155790_Main_Image.jpg?v=1791289213","url":"https:\/\/www.thehungrypuppy.com\/products\/instinct-peakboost-kibble-real-chicken-recipe-dry-dog-food","provider":"The Hungry Puppy","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
