Instinct All Life Stages Raw Boost Grain Free Chicken Dry Dog Food

Instinct Raw Boost High-Protein Chicken is a grain-free dry kibble food for dogs of all life stages. It comes in a 3.5 pound bag.

Instinct describes cage-free chicken as the first ingredient, calling the kibble "boosted nutrition" that combines "grain-free, high protein kibble" with pieces of freeze-dried raw chicken. The brand states the recipe is made without grain, potato, corn, wheat, soy, by-product meal, or artificial colors or preservatives, and says it delivers a probiotic boost along with higher omegas and antioxidants compared to its Original recipe. Instinct does not display a formal AAFCO nutrient-adequacy statement on its page; check the bag for the exact wording.
