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.

Rabbit Yum
By kittygolightly on Dec 28, 2020
Best dry cat food ever! We have two hybrid yearlings—a Bengal and a Savannah Cat. They require a higher protein diet than the average house cat, and Instinct really comes through with this, especially with the rabbit variety. We started our kittens on Instinct kitten when we got them, when they were about 12 weeks old. When they reached just over a year, they transitioned easily to the rabbit formula. All cat breeds benefit from wet cat food, so we do supplement their diet with wet food. Both of our cats are thriving on Instinct rabbit, with glossy coats and lean muscle. They shed very little and are happy and energetic. They really enjoy this dry variety of Instinct cat food. We have not tried Best dry cat food ever!

I am a little wary of the salmon due to mercury content, but if the rabbit becomes unavailable, I would feel confident offering the duck or chicken. I should add that while our cats love the Instinct rabbit kibble, they will not eat the Instinct wet food or the freeze dried raw boost. … more

Instinct Cat Food
By Marylyn on Feb 6, 2021
I’ve’ had my cats on RC prescription food for over 3 years due to digestion problems. Recently they changed their formula with no notice and my cats immediately became ill with diarrhea so I started searching for a replacement and I found an even better one. Instinct Original

New Food for the Kitties -They LOVE it!
By Miss on Apr 17, 2020
Usually it’s been my experience that they dont like to change food and will usually walk away from the new food. With this food, they inhaled it the first time I put it in their bowls! I feel like I’m improving their health and longevity with this type of food, so we will see in a couple of months. But I’m definitely reordering it for my cats on a regular shipment delivery plan.

5 kitties, one verdict
By Rissa on May 11, 2020
It's always a hassle to change food with 5 cats, but they all love this one! The small pellets are wonderful for them. Highly recommend getting a small bag to try it first, as many cats just are picky, but mine love it so I will definitely be buying more.

highly recommend
By Collins on Mar 15, 2020
I am highly trained in pet nutrition and take it very seriously. This is an absolutely amazing food. I recommend it to anyone. They even offer limited ingredient foods. Wet or raw foods should be given first and foremost however kibble is beneficial in its own ways. Please don’t fall into the hype against Menadione Sodium Bisulfite. Speak to a genuine nutritionist or representative to this company to get information on this. It is absolutely necessary and if it wasn’t, this pet focused company wouldn’t have it in their vitamin pack. There’s a reason for everything they do, I trust them as a company very much. Highly pet focused.
