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
Instinct Raw Boost is a better way to feed—combining grain-free, high-protein kibble plus freeze-dried raw in one bag. Each recipe starts with real meat like cage-free chicken or farm-raised rabbit.
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.

Lower fat high protein grain free cat food
By PrettyKitty on Jun 21, 2020
This is lower fat but NOT low fat so unless you have a real high energy cat this a great food. I have been looking for a food like this- high protein but low carbs. For dry food, the Instinct cat foods gets under 15% for the ones I’ve look at (original, ultimate, healthy weight). The ultimate is great being one protein source but calories are just too many per serving, many cats gain weight on it. This food has multiple proteins and even though chicken is first ingredient, it smells fishy. Unfortunately, the cat I’ve bought it for does not like the dehydrated nuggets than can be toppers as well, so I need to take them out. This is a very small kibble which she loves, oh demands ie: when I bought This is lower fat but NOT low fat so unless you have a real high energy cat this a great food.

I’ll deal with the fish smell and hope for no allergic reaction (4 me). This is a brand I like and trust. My other cat is not ready for it but has liked a few trial bites. … more

sulfites in cat food?
By TheRealMiaow on Jun 4, 2020
A friend turned me-and Aria-onto this food. I figured that for future purchases, Chewy would be cheaper. Sulfites are added to people wines-white more than red. They’re added to almost all dried fruits, and to fresh grapes. It’s just one more unhealthy preservative.

My Cats love the Instinct Raw Boost
By LOrkee on Apr 24, 2020
My cats LOVE this food..I always have to buy an extra small package of the raw pieces because they eat all those out of the kibble first!!! And Chewy offers service that is second to none!!!

Like Lucky Charms for Cats!
By Tazzy on Nov 7, 2019
My husband and I joke that the freeze-dried bits in this pet food are, for cats, like the marshmallows in Lucky Charms for kids. Both of our cats love it and they yell at us to pour faster when their bowls are empty. They immediately pick through to look for the "marshmallows" but will happily eat the regular kibble, too. Our older kitty's fur looks sleeker and with less dandruff since she started eating this. Yay!

Cats love it
By Andie on Dec 4, 2019
All of my cats really like this food. They love the raw freeze dried pieces mixed in it. I bought the dog food version by mistake once and they even liked it. Once I saw the dog on the package, I gave it to the dogs and they liked it too. ha

pretty good
By heather on Sep 21, 2019
my cats were a bit timid about yet another new food and would barely go near it. but once they realized the big pieces are tasty it was great from there! they (all 6 cats) will eat it and noone is throwing up. i only gave it 4 stars because it definitely does not have as many freeze dried peices as it apears to on the bad and also not happy that it had clay in it. but it seems my cats dont like the ultra healthy foods lol

Great for our rescues with health issues!
By Gabichele on Jul 2, 2019
George, our orange cat, suffers from IBS and other stomach problems and he can typically only eat hydrolyzed protein cat food. However, he can actually hold this food down better than his prescription food and any other kibble brand we've tried. Our other cat, Timmy, also has health issues and struggles with hair loss. After a few weeks of feeding this food we noticed that Timmy's hair was growing in thicker and softer then before. We've been using this food for 3 months now and Timmy has finally grown in a full coat of hair. Really happy to finally find a food that agrees with both of our cats!

Not even strays would eat it.
By Stacicats on Jul 7, 2019
None of my four cats would touch this food beyond picking out the freeze dried bits. Three of them are notorious for eating literally ANYTHING, ie. not picky at all and they refused to touch the kibble in this bag. Eventually gave up and gave it to the outdoor stray that I'm feeding and she wouldn't eat it either! I'm not sure if I got a bad bag considering it's supposed to be highly rated for finicky cats, but I would most definitely not buy it again to find out.
