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.

Raw food reinvigorated our cat
By Lifesaver on Apr 4, 2020
Over two years ago, we saw our ill cat was declining. Vet wanted to do invasive testing and exploratory surgery. Our cat would not take her medicine and she was at the point we almost decided to end her discomfort. We researched better food than the popular brands we were giving her. We started her on Instinct raw food (frozen first, then dry). She loved it and we saw the improvement in her energy and her fur within a week. She just turned 17 and is energetic and loves to play. Complete turnaround and all we did was get her off those grain-heavy big brand foods that she was addicted to. Please do not feed from those small pouches of specially flavored treats with the fun-sounding names. If your Over two years ago, we saw our ill cat was declining.

(Speaking only from personal experience and the accounts of others with similar experience.) Our old cat went from near death to kitten like behavior in a couple of weeks. Just sayin'. … more

New cat food for Simon
By ZackandSimon on Mar 30, 2020
Simon loves this food, but we were not happy that the ziplock closure tore off the bag. Now, we cannot store it in the original bag. Yes, we can transfer the contents in one of our ziplock bags, but we prefer to store all our dry (especially freeze-dried) cat food in the original bags.

So Far, So Good
By JulesRules on Apr 1, 2020
It will take some time to do a proper review, because it's too early to see any results from the change in the composition of their food. So the 5 star rating for now is because both cats immediately liked it, especially our female who started rolling on the bag. >^..^<

Inconsistent Kibble in 5# & 11# Bags
By Tabitha on Feb 9, 2020
I was looking to change from BB to a healthier food for my three kitties, none of which I would describe as particularly picky. I initially purchased the 5# bag, which all three loved it immediately, then ordered the 11# bag approximately 10 days later. I opened the 11# bag earlier this week and noticed the kibble size was slightly smaller than the remaining kibble in the bowl from the 5# bag, but didn't think much of it until the next day when I noticed one of my kitties hadn't touched his food. The following day my other two kitties stopped eating the food. Apparently, the size of the kibble wasn't the only difference. I don't understand how the quality could change so drastically between I was looking to change from BB to a healthier food for my three kitties, none of which I would describe as particularly picky.

For now, I'm just going to stick with what they like. … more

Puke and Diarrhea Festival Food

Made several cats ill. Huge waste of money and it took a few weeks for my cats to recover. Just not worth it.

My Cat Thrives!
By GSDmom on Feb 10, 2020
My boy Remus loves this food! He eats it right up. I usually give him wet food in the evenings along with it, but even in the morning when he only gets dry food he will still enjoy every bite. We love the quality of ingredients, and it helps keep his coat soft and shiny too. Would highly recommend!

Not for picky eaters
By Debz on Mar 26, 2020
This was a no go for my boy. He's 11 years old and has become picky since the loss of his brother. He loves chicken and has been on grain free for years so it seemed like an easy choice.
