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.

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.

I mean- will puppies not eat everything??
By RottieMomx2 on Jan 26, 2021
I bought this for my new Rottie pup as her big sis is on something similar. I mean-- she will eat everything put down in front of her and she always acts hungry. Pretty sure I could feed her cheap stuff, but I don't want her to have stomach issues as an older dog. The transition was flawless. Licks the bowl clean. Just wish is was cheaper... get what you pay for. Surprised she doesn't poop gold. ha

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 5, 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.

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.
