Overview

This 12-pack of 13 oz cans is built around the True Instinct line, which leans on real beef and wild caught salmon rather than grain fillers as the base of the recipe. Purina positions it as a high protein wet food for adult dogs that still want the taste and texture of a classic ground formula.

At $28.56 for the case, it lands in the mid-range for grain-free wet food, and with 4.6 stars across 4,553 reviews and roughly 2,000 cases bought in the past month, it has a solid track record among buyers who want a grain-free option without stepping up to a boutique price point.
