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 can’t believe it.
By YorkieKobe on Apr 23, 2020
First time EVER my 7yr old 3.9lb Yorkie ate food without letting it sit around until there’s no other choice!!!! I’m super excited. I’m switching from Royal Canin Yorkshire (I thought it was a good choice, I feel horrible) but he would still wait all day to eat 1/4 cup because there was nothing else. Glad I’m finally on track!!

Perfect size
By Lakisha on Apr 22, 2020
My fur baby ate his first bowl last night without me mixing it with wet food. He likes it but he is a little stinker and a very picky eater. I will say this is the first dry dog food he has eaten in a while.

Another one bites the dust...
By TrueTexan on Feb 19, 2020
I was sure hoping this would be the one my dogs would love, but no....turned their noses up and away as soon as they sniffed. They cared for neither the kibble or the raw. I do believe I have two of the pickiest eaters ever (Yorkie & a Chihuahua/terrier mix).

She loves it
By Christen on Oct 2, 2019
To be honest our new little rescue is having some medical issues sorted out and did start a round of steroids the same day we got this food for her which can increase their appetite, but she'll choose this over our other dogs food still and before that we were having trouble getting her to eat any dry food. I think the raw bits really help entice her!

my dog loves the chicken bits!
By JeremyTheChihuahua on Jan 25, 2020
He’ll pull out all the chicken bites and eat them right away they’re like treats to him!

Dog loves it
By Malethyst on Oct 4, 2019
I think it is helping his stomach issues and he really loves the raw pieces. As soon as I fill his bowl he picks out the raw pieces no matter if he's hungry. He seems to really enjoy this food.

Dry Chicken Dog Food
By Boone on Sep 28, 2019
I wanted something small to fit inside a toy. Unfortunately these are so small they slip right out, and he can get them without using any effort.

Boston Terrier Tummy Trouble
By EMarie on Feb 14, 2019
My 9 year old Boston Terrier, started having stomach trouble. He had been on the same brand dog food since he was a puppy, then all of a sudden he would have bouts of diarrhea, vomiting. I tried everything, different brand, making homemade food. I watched a documentary on feeding dogs raw and decided to try it. Almost overnight I saw a change!! Stomach issues gone, he has gained weight, has energy. I highly recommend Instinct.
