Customers say

Customers overwhelmingly praise this food for converting even the pickiest eaters, with the freeze-dried raw bits driving enthusiastic consumption. Most report visible improvements in coat shine, digestion, and energy levels. The small kibble size appeals to older and small-breed dogs, while the resealable packaging maintains freshness. Many note their dogs previously refused other brands but now eat without hesitation. A few mention minor initial digestive adjustments, but overall satisfaction is exceptionally high, with customers viewing this as both palatable and genuinely beneficial for long-term wellness.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this Instinct pet food free from influencer for my honest review….. Our dog is old and he has a hard time eating hard dog food, so he didn’t get to try it. I can say what I read on the bag, it’s really good for small breed dogs, it’s high in protein, it suppose bone and teeth, joint and digestive health. And it’s made with real chicken

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My doggos have been known to be picky eaters.. And they went bananas for this! Do you see the way they are patiently waiting for that kibble to drop? I did not notice any digestive issues, and was tolerated well with no issues. Would recommended!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My 20 lb terrier mix loved this and ate it quickly! He is not a picky eater though. The good thing is it didn’t upset his stomach even though we went for a car ride after he ate. I like that it is high protein and chicken!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The food comes in a nice sturdy bag that is resealable. It is a great product for the price. It was easy for my small older dog to eat. He didn’t hesitate to eat it at all.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My Kiki is obsessed with this food! She's been getting it mixed in with her previous kibble so we didn't mess up her stomach, and today was her first full dinner of it. The packaging is great for resealing and keeping it fresh. Kiki is a small girl, so the portion has been fantastic for her, too. All in all, a great kibble for small dogs!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a well balanced dog food, my dog seemed interested in it. It smells to me like dog food usually should be from the real ingredients listed on the bag. The free dry pieces add variety that I hope my dog enjoys.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love that this product has the little “raw” nuggets in it for added nutrition that’s easy to serve to my dog. She gobbled it right up! The kibble doesn’t feel greasy and I appreciate the resealable bag to keep it fresh.

Questions

1 - 4 of 4 Questions

How large are the kibble pieces?

  1. 1/4 inch for the kibble, 1/2 inch for the raw morsels which are a little softer. Perfect for my 7 lb Morkie.



Is there no taurine in this recipe ? 

  1. Dogs can make taurine from key amino acids present in most pet foods. Most dog foods are not supplemented with taurine for this reason. If sulfur containing amino acids (methionine and cysteine) are not available in the dog food, a dog can become taurine deficient over time. My beagle is on the small breed and my Rhodesian Ridgeback is on the large breed. So far I have had no issues with the product and they both like it. And the beagle is quite picky. My dogs are also supplemented daily with added meat protein.You would probably have to actually get in touch with the manufacturer and ask them for an actual break down of their product and as to why it is not listed as part of the ingredient list.



Is this recommended for puppies?

  1. Hi There, Thanks for your question! Yes, the Raw Boost Small Breed Chicken is suitable for puppies too! Typically, a puppy will eat about double the adult recommendation amount. Hope this helps!



Are the kibble pieces the same size whether it's small breed or not? I don't see healthy weight type food for small breed so I'm looking at the other.

  1. The small breed kibbles are smaller in size than the regular kibbles. I have an 11 LBS Chihuahua and it's been perfect for him.
