Ideal feeding amounts will vary by age, weight, and activity level so the guide below should be used as an initial recommendation. Divide the 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 - 7 days, mixing increasing amounts of Instinct with the current food each day.


KIBBLE + RAW

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.

Wow this stuff is good
By CoolaROO on Feb 1, 2021
My dogs have very picky butts- anything with salmon oil makes their butts STINK like next level stinky and it is very hard to find foods without salmon oil. They also need fairly high protein because they’re quite active and get hungry fast and often. The last food I was feeding them was making the older one have an allergic skin reaction, and this food has been our savior! They LOVEEE it—I’ve never seen the older dog dance for her food the way she does for this, they stay full, have healthy poops and much less gas, and are happy girls. Will be feeding them this food for as long as I can. We also sometimes use the freeze dried bits as treats- they’re very much fans of that.

Looking a Little Slimmer
By carolinadogsrock on Jan 13, 2021
My senior Carolina Dog is not a big kibble eater, but I was giving her the regular Instinct before this, and she actually seems to like this one better, provided I add something to it. I try to make that something like chicken breast or cottage cheese or a scrambled egg so it's not as many additional calories as canned food.

First impressions...
By Sasha on Dec 1, 2020
I'll start off by saying my morkie poo is in extremely picky eater. I've tried to get her off of pedigree dog food so many times but she is either not interested ( at all ) or they give her diarrhea. When I open this bag of dog food Sasha came right out into the kitchen and was looking at me like "can I have some of that?". And when I offer her small amounts of the kibble she immediately eats it. So far it's not affected her stomach or her stools. I hope we have found a winner here! And I'm even more hopeful that she'll lose some weight! I'll update this post in a week and let everyone know how it goes...in case anyone cares.

Pups LOVE it!
By apocalippz on Oct 17, 2020
Switched from an ultra premium brand to this and the pups LOVE it!! I have two heelers with skin allergies so have to be very careful what I feed them and usually they are not delighted with their choices. All four heelers give all paws up for this - YUM!

I am really pleased with this item. The dogs love it! I no longer have to "doctor" their food with cheese to bribe them to eat.

Dogs LOVE the raw pieces
By tkreenie on Jun 9, 2020
I've been feeding our dogs this for a while now. They LOVE the raw freeze dried pieces. Sometimes they even pick those out first before eating the rest of the food. (Kinda like the marshmallows in kids cereal). Always have had good quality and no complaints. I will continue to feed this brand until we need to switch for any reason. Dogs are: Italian Greyhounds and a Chihuahua.

Dogs love it
By meeg on Apr 2, 2020
I'm not a huge fan of dry food but this one is great and my two little chi mix dogs love it...I mix some in their wet food and they gobble it down
