Instinct's Responsibility as The Raw Brand
LEAD WITH RAW
It all started with Instinct's raw pet food. Since the beginning, they've led with raw because they know the good it can do. They're rewriting the rules of pet food and championing raw nutrition to bring its superior benefits to all that they do.
KEEP IT REAL
Delicious and nutritious pet food should only use real ingredients. For Instinct, this means all-natural, real meat, fruits and vegetables, with nothing artificial.
MAKE IT SIMPLE
Feeding raw should be simple, and it should easily fit into your everyday routine. Instinct believes raw should be accessible to pet parents so every pet can experience the benefits of raw nutrition.
DO IT TOGETHER
Instinct believes in the power of raw nutrition. It only makes sense to share it. Together with local shelters and volunteer efforts nationwide we’re on a mission to transform the lives of all pets.
MAKE IT BETTER
Instinct has never been afraid to challenge the status quo of pet nutrition. They continuously redefine what better means—always pushing their standards of nutrition to raise the bar in pet food.

About Instinct
Instinct believes deeply that it's up to them to find a way to make it possible for more people to feed their pets the pure, real nutrition that only comes from raw. They know that if they can get the nutrition of raw into more bowls, they'll transform the lives of more pets. And that's really why they do what they do.

So far so good
By Tbones on Feb 22, 2021
Dog really likes it and gobbles it right up. Her coat seems extra shiny and she lost a few extra pounds. Only issue for me is thaw time . It’s says it thaws in a few minutes but feels strange to give my dog food that is so cold.

Got my 10 year old dog slim and energetic
By Chris on Dec 10, 2020
It gets a bit pricey because I have such a large dog but this food is worth every penny. My dog needed to lose weight but gain nutritional value. As soon as I started him in this, he lost weight and had WAY more energy. He’s ten and after every meal he runs around excited like a pup. He loves this food and I can see such a difference in him. It took about two days for his body to get used to the transition. They make sure it stays frozen in route and it comes quickly. Not a single complaint. So glad I switched.

Great food, great service
By Vermonter on Jan 3, 2021
We feed our Yorkie Instinct raw chicken food. We were getting it locally but the food there had obviously been thawed and refrozen. We now order from Chewy and not only does it cost less but arrives quickly and is still frozen.

Dogs not a fan
By Robyn on Jan 23, 2021
My dogs absolute love the beef version, but neither of them would touch the chicken at all. Wouldn't even try it. I'm definitely sticking with the beef version

good food!
By skr1 on Jan 15, 2021
when this arrived, it was completely thawed and turned into mush. My dog has been turning her nose up. I might have to buy frozen food locally. I'll give it one more shot.

Great Option
By PawsNClaws on Dec 14, 2020
I have been reviewing raw food diets & decided to switch my Chipin over. She loved this. The first time she ate it frozen. Then the next time she waited for it to thaw. I give her 1/3 of a cup each feeding. Her coat is softer & she has more energy.

Did not like
By Setter on Feb 26, 2021
She did not eat it and it bleed in the bowl. Then I just threw it all out! It actually started to stink!

Love instinct Frozen Raw
By MCKo on Oct 11, 2020
Thanks you for carrying and shipping frozen raw Instinct. I live in hurricane ravaged S Louisiana where this product isn’t currently available My only problem with buying from Chewy Is the non eco friendly use of styrofoam in packaging. If Chewy would find another more eco friendly way to package I would become a regular customer for this product. I am hoping I will be able to buy locally soon. Otherwise Chewy is fast and efficient and a good company to buy from. I only wish they were a little more environmentally friendly!

My dog loves this
By Harness on Sep 4, 2020
My dog loves both the chicken and beef recipe. The only complaint I have about this product is that you have to thaw it out 15 minutes prior to feeding. My dog has figured out what is in the bag so as soon as I scoop it out it does not want to wait to dig in. I wish you could thaw it out a couple days worth before feeding time. Other than having to wait my dog does love this food as has seemed to be doing very well on it. He is a 50lb boxer/pit mix, I feed am a cup in the morning and a cup at night. He has not lost nor gained any weight. He is still very active and energetic and stool has been solid no runny mess.
