The Pure, Real Nutrition of Raw Is In Everything Instinct Does
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.

About Instinct

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.

Convenient and high quality
By Lacy on Oct 23, 2020
My cats have been eating this as their main food for months. It’s easy to measure and serve. It’s more affordable than high-quality canned food and is even better for the cats, so why not give them something good? As a side benefit, the litter box isn’t so bad when the cats are eating good raw food like this. So glad I can order it through chewy now. The pet store would sometimes only have one or two bags in stock and also that meant a trip across town. I received my order from Chewy the next day after I ordered, with plenty of dry ice! So impressed. Now I can just autoship it and keep life simple!

My kittens love it!
By JoJo on Oct 27, 2020
I adopted two kittens from the animal welfare league and they are on a strict, no dry food diet. They eat raw and canned food only. They love this food. Unfortunately Chewy was not able to fill my last order and I am almost out of what we currently have. I will have to try to go to a local place to find something similar as I am trying to transition my three older females over to a no dry food diet as well. They love their kibble, so, it has been a bit of a struggle to get them just to eat a "higher" quality canned food.

great food
By Imani on Oct 25, 2020
As we are learning more and more about cats diet raw is supper amazing and the best to feed cats. My cats love it. I am only giving it four stars because I wish this was more Multi cat friendly. However as a whole Instinct is a really great brand and affordable so many people can feed their pets raw or the best diet.

Bad batch?
By Jennyfish on Sep 28, 2020
Tried to feed these to 10 different cats (my 5, my neighbors 3 and my cousins 2) ages 8 months to 11 years in a variety of breeds from domestic short hair to Maine coon. Every single one sniffed them and walked away so I’m wondering if I received a bad batch? They were frozen solid when they arrived so that is my only thought for why none of them would like these.

Super Psyched
By Sarah on Sep 13, 2020
I was so psyched to see that Chewy is now selling the frozen raw cat food from Instinct. I recently moved to a rural area and now have to make quite a trek to get it for her and keep it in a cooler the whole way home and not dawdle etc. I thought I'd test it out to see how it went to have a frozen item delivered. But it went off without a hitch and it arrived completely frozen.

Zoey would give zero stars if she could.
By XandersMommy on Sep 19, 2020
I was hoping she would like this because the price is great, but she wouldn't even try it the 2 times I offered. The first time I tried Bonito flakes on top. The second time, just by itself. Both times, she took one sniff and walked away. Not even a tiny lick.

Arrived Defrosted.
By Catlover on Sep 11, 2020
The item shipped Monday, arrived 5 days later and was completely defrosted. I can’t comment on the product as I was unable to use it. Chewy’s customer service was excellent as always and they refunded straight away.

Instinct Raw : Real Cat Food
By AussieGod on Jul 14, 2020
Recently switched to Instinct Raw after a reco from a Veterinarian. After years on dry food, I was concerned about its frozen and wet. However Instinct thaws really quickly. After an initial sniff, Frank devoured his meal. Not only did he like his food, his output (poop !) was firmer and less smelly. After several weeks now, there's no turning back. Instinct Raw is on autoship now !

Great for my purebred
By animalcrazy on Jul 22, 2020
My cat loves this this food!! Has helped me personally with my allergies. His scat still smells, but not as bad as when he is on canned. Took a little bit to get used too, but now eats it like a champ. He is less hungry which saves me money.

Maine Coon kitten loves his raw food!
By kitten on Jun 4, 2020
The original holistic food my MC breeder recommended for my Toaty boy wasn’t great for his bowel movements and he just wasn’t gaining weight as much as expected. I switched to a couple different alternatives before finding this Raw food and the Freeze Dried options. He absolutely loves it and has steadily been gaining weight each week since we started with this brand. His bowel movements have significantly improved as well. Wish there were bigger bag options is all since I have a big boy to feed.
