Ideal feeding amounts will vary by age, weight, and activity level so the guide below should be used as an initial recommendation. Divide the cups per day by the number of feedings per day. Be sure to always provide clean, fresh water. Along with dry food, we recommend feeding raw or wet food to help increase the amount of water in your pet’s diet.
Always introduce a new food over a period of 5 to 7 days, mixing increasing amounts of Instinct with the current food each day.

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.

Too smelly
By Pickydogs on Apr 5, 2021
My dogs liked it at the beginning but then, after the third day, they hated the strong fish smell, I had to mix it with something else so they can eat it.

Instinct brand dog food & toppings
By Cooper on Jan 7, 2021
I have a large dog, pitbull/bull mastiff, he has sensitive skin so I have tried out the Instinct rawboost dry food and freeze dried toppings. He loves it... he gets excited for dinner time and doesn't waist any time eating his food. His coat and skin are getting shiny and dry spots are healing up. Although he didn't care for this flavor (I don't think he likes seafood), we are seeing the benefit of the change in diet!

Good product
By Missy on Jan 4, 2021
My dog loves this brand and the salmon flavor was a nice treat. She likes real salmon so I thought we would try it. No issues with her eating it. I would say this is her favorite along with the chicken.

Changed food after 20 years!
By Holly on Oct 16, 2020
I have had 5 dogs throughout my life. Every single one, I had fed the same food and they lived to be 14+ years old. I am very picky with what I feed my animals and only use food coming from companies that have veterinary nutritionists on staff. It was my go to and never let me down. Until now... Ever since we got our puppy we have fed him kibble mixed with wet raw food. After so long and adding kids to the mix, it was getting to be a nuisance to continue to portion out food and defrost it for him every meal. I didn’t want to sacrifice the benefit of raw but needed something more convenient. When I found this, I decided to give it a shot. We stopped the wet raw food and mixed this in with his I have had 5 dogs throughout my life. Every single one, I had fed the same food and they lived to be 14+ years old.

I didn’t want to sacrifice the benefit of raw but needed something more convenient. When I found this, I decided to give it a shot. We stopped the wet raw food and mixed this in with his kibble. I was worried he wouldn’t be interested because he would wolf down his raw food and act like he was suffering through his kibble. Well, I had nothing to worry about! The second I started mixing this in to transition him he was scarfing down every bite! There are tons of freeze dried bits in every scoop and I’ve also noticed his skin and coat have benefited! I’ve seen some reviews that don’t like this brand because it comes from Purina. However, they are the kind of company that can put serious money into research to improve their products. After 4 dogs eating the same food over 20 years of companionship, we will be feeding any dog we ever have this brand. We have seen an improvement in his energy, skin and excitement for meal time. If you want raw with the convenience of complete kibble diet, this is it. … more

Good quality food!
By Magz on Sep 18, 2020
We’ve given this to our girl for a change of taste. She “woofed” down the bowl of food in no time flat! Even thought it’s a change of food, it had no ill effects on her digestive system. We normally give her frozen raw, but we stay with the Instinct name.

Great food. Dogs gobble it up! Talk about eating food that dogs like to eat when they eat. Will I ever reach the minimum number of characters?

Sound Science No Filler
By JEdge on May 10, 2020
Folks. Read these ingredients. After a lot of research and even trying super expensive fresh options we have decided on this food for our Golden. Her mouth waters when she smells it and it has no by-product, soy or corn. Plus the freeze dried raw organ meat has tons of vitamins and minerals and gives that boost of taurine dogs need to avoid heart disease. Don’t just take it from me though...do your own research and I bet it’ll lead you right here.
