Yes, there is a big difference in the NV Raw Instinct and the regular NV dry kibble diets. The regular diets have 26% protein...the Raw Instinct has the 42%.

The regular NV is bio-coated lightly with the freeze-dried raw to make the taste more appealing, but it is MUCH lower in protein than the NV Raw Instinct dry. I'm so appreciative of this doggy daycare/grooming/pet food store that I found! The woman I spoke to knew all of this right off the bat. She asked me what kind of a dog I had, and when I said Yorkie she said the Raw Instinct was too high in protein but the regular NV dry food was comparative to Canidae and that the taste appealed more to picky eaters. She gave me free samples of both, and she was SO right! My little one will pick out all the NV kibble and leave both the Canidae lamb and the Canidae chicken.

This place is a jewel!! I can't wait to get her groomed there to see how it will turn out!

You are so right...my dogs also love the taste. They liked the Canidae and did just fine on it, but they really prefer the taste of the NV and I like the ingredients of NV a little more than Canidae.
