Instinct Be Natural Beef & Barley Dry Dog (4.5lb)

Instinct Be Natural Real Beef & Barley is a dry kibble food for dogs. It comes in a 4.5 pound bag.

Instinct says USA-raised beef is the first ingredient, making real animal protein the number one and two ingredients followed by hearty whole grains, and calls it "the first raw coated kibble" because every piece is tumbled with freeze-dried raw. The brand states it is made without corn, wheat, soy, chicken or poultry by-product meal, brewer's rice, or artificial colors or preservatives. Instinct does not display a formal AAFCO nutrient-adequacy statement on its page; check the bag for the exact wording.

First ingredients: beef, turkey meal, barley, brown rice, oatmeal and peas. Instinct's own guaranteed analysis for this recipe:

• Crude protein: not less than 25.0%
• Crude fat: not less than 15.0%
• Crude fiber: not more than 5.0%
• Moisture: not more than 10.0%

Feeding amounts vary by the dog's weight and activity level; Instinct's own chart is printed on the bag, and it recommends pairing dry food with raw or wet food for added moisture.
