Other new natures variety instinct

[cowsmom]

ok so i see natures variety has a new instinct kibble and since i know some here feed it i thought i would mention it. its called instinct raw boost. it is instinct kibble with freeze dried raw kibble mixed in. here is what it says on the instinct website.

Instinct® Raw Boost™ is the first ever grain-free kibble with freeze dried raw in the same bag. It's never been more convenient to nourish your dog with the nutrition of raw. The grain-free kibble provides low carb, high protein nutrition along with freeze dried raw pieces to give your dog a bite-sized boost of healthy raw food.
they have a chicken formula, and duck and turkey forumula, and venison and lamb.

Thanks for the info. Ruggles is doing well on the limited ingredient turkey. I'm betting the new food adding raw is higher in protein, which most Bulldogs don't need because they aren't active enough!

 

[cowsmom]

yes its 42% protein but then i feed sarah freeze dried raw beef and shes fine with it so im not sure thats a problem. its just fyi for peeps to know about anyway.

very interesting, how expensive is it compared to the regular NVI limited lamb. It is something I would consider

I saw this at my local pet store where I buy my food and it was SUPER expensive! I can't remember exactly how much but I was taken aback by the cost. I also wasn't clear on what the "boost" was supposed to provide, I guess.

the boost is freeze dried raw kibble in with the regular kibble. it also does not seem to have the peas n such the others have. its like feeding kibble and raw at the same time which some people are doing anyway.

i just bought a 4.4lbs ($20) bag of the duck and turkey formula (raw boost)last week, since i'm making the transition back to NVI, and today i went to buy another bag and i saw none on the shelf, so i asked and apparently it's no longer going to be available at my local(s) PETCO no more . at first they said it had been pulled from the shelf, then they said they were just not going to carry it anymore at the local stores.

They had a 25 lb bag at my local store that was $68.99 as well as smaller ones. I'm still not clear on it's advantages, especially for a low energy breed like a bully, so I probably won't try it.

I just bought a bag of this for Otis yesterday. He loves it. Petco has the big bag on sale for 58.00. Then I was talking to the store manager about Mr Bighead. I told her that we were fostering right now, adopting once he's neutered... she gave me adoption pamphlets with 50% off coupons in them
