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.

Tastes Good, Farts Bad
By bennysmom on May 18, 2020
First of all, my dog absolutely loves this food. He's 13 years old and I've never seen him devour kibbles so quickly. He really likes the raw bits that are in it which are not white like in the picture but kind of blend in with the rest of the brown kibbles. Not a huge deal to me. But man, this food is making him so gassy and his farts smell 10x worse. Maybe it's because this is entirely grain-free but he definitely cleared the room with his constant farts. Not sure if I'm going to continue buying this food for him but I know he likes it a lot, we just can't stand the smells coming out of him after.

Lacks consistency between bags
By Hoomom on May 16, 2020
Like the headline says, this lacks consistency between bags. One bag has more raw peices, the next has almost none, the next has paler kibbles, the next is darker, and the next has larger kibbles. I buy the same type each time, but have run into this issue every time. No two bags are the same. My older dog also has some gi issues when I finish one bag and start the next. For this reason I'm changing food.

Only Dry Food My Zoe Eats lol
By SeashellAngel on Feb 21, 2020
My little dog is super spoiled, and we searched for months for a dry food that she would love without having to mix in canned food or broths. This specific Instinct food (beef) is the only one that does the trick. I've tried all the top foods, and she wouldnt have any of it. Lol She dances and yips every time I feed her now & it makes me happy to feed her something she loves. She isnt allergic to grains, so I do supplement her diet with some healthy grains like oatmeal for her heart health, bc she wouldnt eat the Instinct Grain-Inclusive line. If you have a picky dog, you may want to give this one a shot.

Ms furbabylove
By kNyx on Mar 12, 2020
I will never buy this brand again. My house had been diarrhea and blow out city. All 4 dogs, different breeds stomach's have been affected... all on different time lines, some for for days and they are good. Then when you think it's over, I'm cleaning or hosing the diarrhea. It's not your normal runs.... My dogs are healthy and can eat anything, until now.

Amazing food!
By Genna on Feb 16, 2020
My 2.5 year old lab loves this! He can’t get enough! He was on Rachel Ray and got to a point where he wouldn’t eat it. Clearly something lacking in his diet, because as soon as we started incorporating this food into his meals he was eating again! He goes nuts for it! The higher calorie content is awesome, because we can feed feel him smaller portions to maintain his weight through the winter. He was getting porky and eating way too much to feel full! I would highly recommend this. 4 stars because of the price... but we can get through about a bag a month so it’s not too bad!

No "raw" bits!
By Bigbigpoodles on Mar 19, 2020
In the entire 20 lb bag, there were maybe 30 pieces of the "raw" kibble. I had to dig them out by hand to ensure that my doggies could get ONE piece in each bowl. Must be why this one variety of Instinct Raw Boost was ON SALE. Sneaky of you, Chewy... Caveat emptor.

By Carolyn on May 17, 2020

Dogs love this food
By tjrobinson on Mar 12, 2020
Finally, a food my dogs like! I have tried so many and they don't care for a lot of them. The only complaint I have is that there is very few 'raw' bites in the bag. I have yet to see any to be honest
