They are a little too minty for me. The funny thing is that I bought a box of these because I had bought one from the health food store and I loved it. It was very delicious to me then but six months later I guess my taste buds had changed. The flavors I do really like are cherry, apple, lemon, and chocolate coconut. |

It is pretty dry and gritty, reminded me of coffee grounds more than coffee. They are organic which is cool, but they just don't do it for me. |

Bought three cases (variety packs including, cashew, apple pie, this flavor, others) to leave at work and around to snack on, given lack of concentrated sugar, etc. Even though I never ate more than one a day, got a little sick of them and now can't eat them anymore.

I was sorely disappointed. I bought two of these and I was excited to try one. I opened it and was hit by the awful smell of... well a foot-like scent. So that was a turnoff, but I said hey I have never been one to let looks or smell hinder me from trying something new. So I went ahead and ate it. I had to force myself to finish it. It was like torture eating this. It tasted awful. I actually opened up the second and dared a coworker to try it because it was so bad. He tried it and he felt the same way. It has almost no flavor, but what flavor it does have lingers in your mouth and grosses you out.
Who I'd recommend it to: 1.) People that like to give friends that lose bets something awful to eat. 2.) My enemies. |

I'm not sure about the health benefit but it's a torture to chew this thing. I enjoy many other healthy food but this one's a totally no no.
It's as if they just mixed cacao and coffee bean then put tons of sugar to cover the bitterness of the two. Too sweet, but not tasty sweet.
I won't buy this even if it's free. |

This one however shouldn't have ever made it through their testers. It's so horrible that even 1 1/2 years after trying it, the thought of it causes my face to automatically squinsh up in digust. I cannot express fully in words the utter awfulness of this product. However, the telling of the story of both my mother and I leaning over separate sinks spitting it out and rinsing our mouths is sure to set both of us off in hysterics to the bemusement of anyone around us. I wholeheartedly DO NOT recommend trying this product. (Ugh. I need to go rinse my mouth with mouthwash just from thinking about this product long enough to write this review.) |

I will definitely not be purchasing any of their other products after this awful experience. |

There is a wonderful selection of fruit and I, for one, love that it is slightly moist. If you're looking for fruit chips then this is not the product for you. Great stuff. Give it a try if you're looking for a healthy way to kick the chip habit. |

I recently took one on the airplane, and a package to the zoo. There's enough for four kids to share, and the bag reseals. There's 17 grams of sugar in a 1/4 cup serving and 100 calories. The kids like it as well as candy, we use it as a treat. |

Keep a pack in your purse on long trips with the kids for a healthy snack or cook up with a little apple jiuce for a wonderful tasting fruit compote. Yummy! |

Brooks | 0 | 0 | 5 | 1348617600 | Healthy snack that actually tastes good | I'm a snack fiend, and finding something I can snack on that's also healthy is a godsend. I suppose some people want dried fruit to be the consistency of beef jerky, but I think the fruit tastes better if it's not dried to the consistency of shoe leather. Apricots and prunes are my favorites. Prunes are just what you would expect them to be, sticky, so have a handkerchief or wet wipe for use afterwards. The description above says pears are included, but I think it must be a misprint. The packages say peaches, and dried peaches are really good. They have a tartness I don't normally associate with peaches. I'm not as crazy about the apples, which are limp when dried. But they still taste good, even if they feel a bit strange.
I'm surprised more parents haven't tried these as after-school snacks for their kids. These are sweet enough for the sweet-tooth in your family. |

Of the two packs, one had a peach slice. Zero in the other. One was full of the
Plums. But are they plums or prunes? And overall, they are just stickey. My wife
loves dried fruit, so she got them in the work lunch first. She returned the bag and requested "no more of those". Accordingly, I threw out both packs. I called Sunmaid to comment 559 896 8000. And got a recording. Called back in the pm to ask if the consumer relations dept was working. The secretary said they are overwhelmed
with complaints and it may take one to two days to get call. This is the end of the second day without a call. Now, I don't care.
And, since i am thinking about Sunmaid, why did they make the raisen boxes smaller but keep the price the same...hmmmmm$$

I ordered the tropical trio regularly and decided to try something new. When i opened the bag i saw the greasy, pretty slimy excuse for fruit in the bag. It was repulsive just to look and and it tasted the way it looked, greasy and gross. Im not sure exactly how dried fruit gets greasy, but it does. Not my cup of tea, and not a product i plan on ordering again. |

Doesn't taste great | I don't want to say that this is a bad product, because some people may enjoy this. Since it was fruit, I was expecting a taste more sweet than it is. That being said, all it contains is dried fruit, so there isn't any added sugar, just the natural fruit sugar. I prefer the raisins over the mixed fruit. The fruit selection was varied, and some fruits tasted better than others. They do have a long shelf life, so if you want fruit that lasts a long time (what I was looking for), this is the product to get. |

I recently contacted Nature's Variety by email and they confirmed that the cat and dog Instinct canned formulas are exactly the same. By buying the large "dog" cans here combined with the subscribe and save discount, the price per ounce is about 50% less than the small "cat" cans - awesome savings on a food I would otherwise have trouble affording.
Nature's Variety canned is a high quality food with 95% real meat. No by-products or grain. It's a healthy food that both of my cats seem to really enjoy (the only other canned foods my picky adult cat will eat are EVO Cat & Kitten and Tiki Cat). I regularly buy the chicken and rabbit flavors, and periodically get duck and venison as well. I also believe the montmorillonite clay in these formulas help to keep my kitten's stools well formed (he tends to have loose stools on canned foods without this ingredient).
I originally started buying Nature's Variety Instinct because it is one of only a small handful of canned pet foods that DOES NOT contain carrageenan. Carrageenan is derived from seaweed and used as a thickening agent, but many studies link carrageenan to digestive inflamation, ulcerations, and even cancer. I'd rather not feed such a sketchy ingredient to my beloved pets. Kudos to Nature's Variety for not including this potentially dangerous ingredient in their food!
A note on packaging: Amazon's packaging of Nature's Variety cases is sometimes inadequate. I've received cases so dented that I didn't feel safe feeding it to my pets. Returns are easy, however, and it's been my experience that Amazon processes refunds/replacements quickly. My most recent shipment was much better protected than previous orders, but about half of the cans still had minor dents. Nature's Variety is a five star food, so I won't lower my rating because of Amazon's handling/packaging, but I feel people should be aware that Amazon shipments of this food may be damaged. |

| 299130 | 299130 | B0018CFR1Q | A1IREBN2PMWNBD | Ed Schuler | 2 | 2 | 5 | 1327536000 | Excellent Product | My wife and I spent months trying to find an ideal dog food for our pack of vicious toy poodles and Chinese Cresteds. We wanted a brand that was all natural and as close to home prepared as possible. We have had our pack on this brand for many years now and they are extremely healthy. While I am not sure if this food has anything to do with it or not, one of our pack has Addison's disease. We discovered it when she arrived from the person we adopted her from. She is a Toy Poodle that should have weighed 7 pounds, but when she arrived she weighed only 4.5 pounds. We would put her food down and she would act like she wanted to eat but she couldn't. She would hover over her bowl but would not take a bite. Our vet, probably the best in Louisville, KY, diagnosed her within 2 days. After we started treatment and got her electrolytes stable, we took her in the following year for her annual exam. The vet could not believe it was the same dog and he said it was the first time that he had ever seen a dog with Addison's look so good. That he could not even tell that she had the condition. My wife and I, unscientifically attribute it to our diligence with her medication and a healthy serving of Nature's Variety dog food twice a day.
In our opinion and experience, there is no substitute for a good diet for healthy and happy dogs. I would recommend this food, and have recommended this brand to every dog owner that I come across. |
