I had replied to the EVO thread about trying Instinct cat food on the cats and they love the stuff. I posted the ingredients there, they look pretty good to me.

I also got a few cans of the rabbit variety to try on the dogs. The only canned they've been eating mixed with their kibble is Wellness, and I've been looking for another type to try. The dogs aren't wild about anything except duck, chicken or turkey flavours for canned. I've tried the venision, beef and lamb, but they won't eat it. So I saw the Instinct canned has a rabbit formula and I thought I would give it a try. Both dogs loved it.
I think the ingredients look pretty good....anyone see anything wrong with it? I'm happy to be able to add another variety into the dogs diet.
