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.

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.

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.

Not the same from Chewy
By Angelica on Aug 5, 2020
I originally bought a bag of this from PetSmart and my pup loved it. He would start whining for it when I was preparing his food. I bought a bag from Chewy since it was on sale. Once I opened the new bag, my pup was not interested in it anymore. He would pick out the freeze dried pieces and leave the rest. Sometimes he would not eat the freeze dried pieces either and just sniff it and walk away. I’m not sure what’s different about it from Chewy. Maybe it was kept in storage for too long. The freeze dried pieces look slightly darker compared to the PetSmart one.

10 week old French bulldog loves it!
By Anya on Aug 4, 2020
My puppy LOVES this food!! My only complaint is that there is very little freeze dried chicken pieces I really do wish there were more as that’s his favorite part.

picky eater wont eat this, a little hard too
By Jules on Jun 8, 2020
Our finicky mini golden doodle puppy doesn’t like this...I liked the ingredients so I was really hoping he would! But they don’t smell very strong, and the chicken pieces are rubbery. The kibble is also a little hard, so at 8 months (6lbs) he has trouble chewing it. I shouldn’t have bought the big bag, bc now it will be wasted. I would try this on a more food motivated, bigger pup.

Good dog food, my dog eats it up
By Yeti on Jul 25, 2020
The bowl is down and done in a few minutes, of course I add broth to it, since it is dry and he loves it.

Amazing food
By Harleyq on Mar 31, 2020
Thank you again for making being a pet owner so much easier! WE just adopted two new Pug puppies and i was so worried to switch their food, because usually it gives puppies tummy issues. They did amazing on this food and Chewy carries it in two different sizes!

Great for a picky eater
By Lucy on Mar 24, 2020
My wheaten terrier puppy is a very picky eater. We adopted her just about 3 months ago, and it has taken all those months to find a food she would eat. She loves this food and it's such a relief to have something I know she will reliably eat. It was super stressful for me before when I knew she was hungry but she didn't want her kibble--we no longer have those worries!

Yummy Good
By Sophia on Jun 26, 2020
My mommy buys this since I came home. I love the freeze dried bits in the mix. That’s what I eat first before the kibble bits.

My puppy’s favorite!
By Darlene on Jan 20, 2020
I recently switched my 10 month old Corgi puppy onto this brand after researching it and she loves it. I’m not sure why but when she was on science diet puppy food she would always push all the kibble out of the bowl then eat it off of the floor later. It didn’t matter where we fed her or what bowl we tried. But for some reason she stopped doing it as soon as she switched. I love everything about this dog food.

Staying consistent.
By Karen on May 5, 2020
The breeder is feeding this to her puppies. So I will be continuing with it unless a problem develops.
