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.
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.

Dogs will NOT eat!
By Hope21 on Feb 20, 2021
I researched foods for picky eaters and this was at the top of the list. We have 2 dog's Archie, age 4, and Maisy, age 11-months. I wanted to graduate them to a new food that they can both eat. Archie will literally eat anything you put in front of him. Unfortunately, NOT this food, he sniffed it and walked away. And Maisy will not touch it, they simply hate this food. I wonder if we received a bad batch? It's hard to believe this was rated high for picky eaters! Back to the dawing board.

my dog likes this better
By Sandy on Jan 24, 2021
PetsMart stopped carrying this some time ago. the only choice was more expensive one with treats inside. so I switched to grain free lamb this one allows me to give Katie what she likes since she has food allergies. Happy dog makes life so much better

My dogs love it!
By Violeta on Dec 14, 2020
So, I was a little skeptical to switch my dogs food (it was royal canine) with new unknown for me brand. But I am glad I did! Now both dogs are interested in breakfast and dinner, I don’t have to put a starter anymore, because they love the test of beef. They both seem to be more playful now. Also, their poo became normal and the same every time. The only thing that I am concern is that they drink more water now, but hope that isn’t bad for them.

Great choice
By Kathy on Aug 26, 2020
We have one dog that has alot of allergies and he is very picky and the other dog loves everything. Its hard to find something that works for both of them and this worked great. They both love it and it's good for them. Does have a strong smell but the dogs love that too.

Feed first class

I only give my dogs the very best which I consider Instinct is one of the top foods.

There is a fishy smell.
By Jessie on Jun 18, 2020
I bought this beef version because my dog likes beef better than chicken. When I opened the bag, there was a waft of very strong fish odor. I checked the ingredients and indeed there was fish in it. This is the first bag I tried and I don’t think I would reorder it, plus, my dog doesn’t care for it either.

Freeze Dried dog food
By Instinct on Apr 1, 2020
I was a little concerned when I was ordering Instinct Original for my Yorkie. She is a very picky and spoiled little girl. She has only eater Caesar and kibbles and bits dog food. When I mixed some of the Instinct in with her Kibbles and Bits she went crazy over it and didn’t leave one morsel in her bowl.
