Pumpkin and ginger are ingredients Instinct includes to support healthy digestion, chicory root is a source of fiber, and tapioca gives the broth a little body. Instinct lists collagen at 2.0% minimum. It is mostly water (up to 96% moisture), so it adds very few calories. Who it suits, and who it doesn't It suits a dog of any size or age who eats a complete and balanced food and could use more moisture in the bowl, a picky eater who perks up at something savory poured on top, or a dog who doesn't drink much on its own.
