Yes. I also noticed Dried Chicory Root--a common product to extract Inulin from, but it seems they didn't take the time to extract it to make it stronger. I'm really not sure why they want to add fiber to raw foods.

I just found the ACV interesting... with all our ACV talk going on lately here.  :)  I don't think I have ever seen it included in any other brands.

I just have to wonder if they add ACV with the mother or without it. It's not any good, really, without the mother, and I've seen plenty of it without it in groceries.

If the majority of the ingredients are a sign...  I doubt it. 

After the first 4 ingredients, I was pretty much done with it.  BUT there is also Montmorillonite Clay!  /sarcasm

LOL. I think Nature's Variety puts that "detoxifying" clay in EVERYTHING they make.

I just noticed something in Youtube. Nature's Variety has started having commercials for Instinct Raw Boost. It was very reminiscent of a Purina Commercial with the dogs loudly running through the woods to their house and the food.

I can't find a link for just the commercial though. We're not getting any commercials like that on TV around here in TN that I've seen. I wonder if it's just an online campaign.

Has anyone else seen any Nature's Variety commercials on TV?

I watch one TV show a week.  Survivor.  I don't see many commercials.  Sorry, can't help you.

It just freaked me out that it sounded so much like a Purina Pro Plan commercial "fetch" at the beginning with the dog running and its feet hitting the ground in the woods so loudly. I actually thought that Pro Plan had a new commercial. If they don't watch out, they'll end up being on Purina's most hated list along with Blue.

Something else I find odd about this Instinct Raw formula. It's got both cod liver oil AND salmon oil in it. I'm not used to seeing a mix of both in foods.
