Has anyone tried this brand, particularly this variety? Search didn't turn up anything...

We haven't tried the Rabbit but we've been really happy with all the other Nature's Variety Prairie foods - our dogs have been on them for a while (Chili - almost 2 yrs now). The instinct is the no grain gluten free version. There are recently a voluntary recall on the beef, but only because the company wanted to make sure it was as fresh as possible - not any issues with the food.

I have fed both salmon and duck to fosters with no issue. Both times dogs went from soft to firm stools after being put on it. Valky was eating it from day 1 and I did see significant improvement in her coat when she left compared to when I pulled her. Stark was eating it as well, and now Ewe eats it and we're trying to put weight on him.

My cats I feed the rabbit formula to. There are only a few kibbles that I would feed and this is one of them.

I've tried Nature's Variety on my dog's in the past, but wasn't impressed with it at all. It has filler's in it, which I'm not a fan of. To me it didn't look like raw meat, more like a formed paste. Vital Essentials on the other hand looks like raw meat, has no fillers, and is cheaper. I would for sure check out Vital Essentials if you're looking for a good pre-made raw brand.

Natures Variety Instinct is actually the kibble, NV Instinct Raw is their raw brand

I've fed NV Instinct Rabbit before and had good results with it. Went over well with all my dogs and it was a nice new protein source for them that they don't normally get.
