BOOSTED NUTRITION
These protein-packed recipes offer a natural probiotic boost, higher omegas* and more antioxidants* (*than Instinct Original) for digestive health, skin and coat, and a healthy immune system.

Pure, real nutrition of
raw in every bowl
Minimally processed, all-natural, protein-packed bites of real meat and non-GMO fruits and vegetables.
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.

Well received.
By Flynn on Feb 13, 2021
Both dogs like this,, I like the small breed size of the kibble also, One of my dogs picks out the raw pieces first, but then eats everything.

Great for food sensitive dogs
By TheBeekeepersBasket on Aug 29, 2020
I have an 11 year old English Springer Spaniel with chronic stinky, yeasty ears. I have tried numerous brands of grain-free and different proteins. He is very sensitive to chicken and have found the Instinct line to be great for his issues as long as we stay away from chicken, keep the ears clean and use an Elizabethan collar intermittently to prevent him from scratching and introducing bacteria to his ears. I have 3 dogs and all love and do well on this food. They are excited to eat and all act very lively and healthy.

More raw would be good
By Magz on Aug 7, 2020
We normally give our girl Instinct frozen raw (which she loves), but every so often, we like to have a dry food available for the picky days. We would love to see a frozen raw duck Or rabbit food available as I believe she’d love it!

Instinct Raw Boost Duck
By Lutana on May 30, 2020
My dog Lutana loves this duck flavor. She dove right in and continues to like it just as much a month later since first trying the food. She is very picky about the food she eats. So happy to see that she likes this formula. She has also shown a increase in overall energy and her coat seems to be healthier.

Menu Changes
By Bernie on Jun 10, 2020
Alvin has been eating the Instinct Raw Kibble & Raw Beef for years. Thought I would try something difference so I ordered the Real Duck and He really likes the Duck. Will be mixing it up between the Beef and Duck in the future.

Great product. All my dogs love it. We have 9 and often have a Foster dog, so we go thru a lot of dog food.

My DOGS love this food!
By Duck on Sep 24, 2019
Empty bowls every time! My dogs nibble at their food. I’ve always bought high end grain free. They’ve never emptied their food dishes this fast!

OK BUT ,,,,
By Elia on May 30, 2019
THE BAG HAS VERY FEW RAW BOOST PIECES IN IT. THE PICTURE SHOWS IN A BOWL ABOUT THE NUMBER TO EXPECT IN THE ENTIRE BAG. My dogs eat it if I add additional freeze dried bites to each of their bowls. Since Instinct doesnt offer freeze dried all duck treats I go to Stella and Chewy for it and am thinking I woud be better off to just buy Stella and Chewy dog food, period. It's the same story with Instinct's Raw Boost, Lamb, Beef and Chicken.
