Great food, bad packaging

A great dog food. I only wish the packaging was better. There is no longer a sealable zip strip on the bag to maintain freshness. Too bad they removed that feature

A great dog food. I only wish the packaging was better. There is no longer a sealable zip strip on the bag to maintain freshness. Too bad they removed that feature in “upgrading” the packaging.

A great price and hard to find locally

We love this product, and the local store stopped carrying it. Our dog is allergic to many other dog foods, so losing access to this brand was a big deal. Thankfully,

We love this product, and the local store stopped carrying it. Our dog is allergic to many other dog foods, so losing access to this brand was a big deal. Thankfully, I found it on Chewy and I can buy it for him again. And the best part is that it's cheaper than what the local shops are selling it for.

My Princess Rose loves this RAW dry "cereal" and I could not be more happy that she does. She is a very picky eater and finding a food she likes AND that is good for her is a chore. I am happy to announce that it is Instinct RAW for the win for both dry and "frozen"! Yaaay!

Dog loved this food

Probably my dogs favorite food and flavor of instinct. The cat kept trying to steal all the “marshmallows” from it. This will be my new go to.

I recently tried Instinct Raw Boost Kibble for my dogs, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! From the moment the bag arrived at our home, they were incredibly excited, practically wagging their tails off. It's clear they absolutely love the taste! I’ve noticed that they clean their bowls in record time, which is always a good sign. One of the things I appreciate the most is that this kibble includes dehydrated raw meat. It feels great knowing I’m giving them a product that combines the convenience of kibble with the nutritional benefits of raw ingredients. Overall, I highly recommend Instinct Raw Boost Kibble.
