Currently, the rabbit for this (and the RAW frozen) are sourced from China. Only the Instinct Dry kibble uses rabbit sourced from France. It's an oddity amongst NV's products (everything else seems to be sourced from the US.) Buyer beware as, despite reassurances, Chinese sourced food has had lots of problems (chemical contamination.) Supposedly, at the moment, NV is looking to change the source for the wet canned and frozen to France as well; but it hasn't happened yet.

This is an expensive food, but it is a life-saver in my household. I have multiple pets, and formulation of Nature's Variety Instinct rabbit food is the same for cats and for dogs. It is acceptable (grain-free, low carb) for my diabetic cat, and it is works for my cat who has food allergies (poultry and ???). My dog also likes it. 5 years ago, he needed to be on a novel protein diet for two months. That's when we discovered rabbit dog food. This food works for all the animals! I don't have to worry about who eats what food when I'm feeding this!i have a diabetic dog and he cannot have a lot of fat or carbs ...this food in rabbit or venison keeps his sugar nearly perfect.I don't like the fact it has pork by product in it. I wanted Rabbit. I won't buy this againI have a very picky rottie mix who stopped eating most foods a looong time ago. I have her on an air-dried raw diet that she seems to love but am sad that I can no longer continue the variety I once had in her diet. She gave up on the majority of the canned food she used to eat a long itme ago but I also learned that the only way to find what she tolerates is to spend the cash and experiment.For whatever reason she LOVES this brand canned rabbit even though she's turned down others. I actually think it has to do with the pork liver; she seems to love certain pork products and I think the mix is what does it. She loves it enough it actually got her to eat when I was on vacation and had to leave her with my ex, and for a picky dog that NEVER wouuld eat at his house it's saying a lot!
I actually tried the Nature's Variety canned Duck (also with pork liver) and she ate it the first day but only after a LONG hesitation after she realized she wasn't getting anyting else. (I never feed more than half a can at a time to my dog because I use it for supplemental feeding) By the second day, however, she was licking the bowl clean. The third day when I had run out she was looking at the "wet food" dish so I have a feeling if i purchase it again she'll learn to love it as well.
Hopefully I can introduce the entire NV line to keep the variety going in her diet. Unfortunately she has ALWAYS had issues with her BM's being too loose for my liking so I try to not feed a lot of canned. (the raw diet has definitely helped with that, btw....) For many dogs, however, it's a wonderful supplement as they tend to not get enough water throughout the day.
P.S. It truly stinks that the rabbit is sourced from China as I know there have been a lot of issues with any foods sourced from China. (Plus I'd rather not continute to their economy if possible) Unfortunately it appears that a LOT of the treats that she eats are sourced from there, and since she's picky to begin with it's not always easy to make a switch. Her primary food is not from China, however, and she only get treats sparingly. The training treats we use are sourced in the U.S. and hopefully more manufactuers will continue to listen to consumers and stop sourcing their meat products from there.
