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.

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.

Next best thing to steak
By Vicki on Aug 27, 2019
Our pitties love this food. We were using another grain free food but it was lacking omega, minerals etc. so we were buying a supplement to add to their food. Now we are saving money with Instinct. It has everything we need. They haven’t been itching, beautiful coat and normal stool.

Great Reviews, but
By ThurmanMurmon on Jun 26, 2019
I'm still searching for a high nutrition kibble with which I supplement fresh foods to. I have two terrier mix 50+ lbs. The female will eat about anything but her brother (litter mate) doesn't like any kibble I've tried. He doesn't care for the fresh cooked by Tylee's either. As for Instinct the only way he'll eat it is if I smother it in canned Taste of the Wild. So I guess I'll keep searching. By the way Instinct is the highest rated kibble out there by "Dog food advisor" I liked the idea of coating grain free kibble with freeze dried raw meat, but it does smell fishy.

Great dog food
By Cocomuffy on Sep 8, 2019
Rated high on dog food advisor but I don’t use as primary food only as small Supplimental to homemade and dehydrated. Only complaint is the strong smell....

New product for me
By Wyle528 on Jul 17, 2019
First time on Chewy..first time purchasing this food. Switched my Lils over, due to recent studies showing my last dog food contributes to heart issues in dogs. This food was on a "good list" for dogfood by FDA.So far....my Lils love this!! And Chewy.com has been wonderful this far!

Not working great for my Frenchie
By Joanne on Jul 29, 2019
I've been phasing in this food since it arrived. My Frenchie hasn't really liked it and she has a lot of digestive problems, which she has never exhibited before. I'll have to keep searching for something that works better for her.
