Go Raw with Instinct Raw Dog Food

in Family and Home on 09/22/15

Do you want to go raw with Instinct Raw® dog food? #InstinctRaw

Raw foods are everyone for people and pets in the grocery stores, specialty stores and now of course pet stores. So why should you go raw for your pets? What are the benefits and where do you start? Well like with anything you need to do some research and have a plan in place. I’ve been hearing great things about raw food diets for people and when I heard about Instinct Raw dog food and cat food I thought to myself it’s worth checking out!

This post is sponsored by Instinct® and the BlogPaws Professional Pet Blogger Network. I am being compensated for helping spread the word about Instinct
Raw but Powered by Mom only shares information we feel is relevant to our readers. Instinct is not responsible for the content of this article.

Why did we decide to have our dogs try raw dog food?

There are a few reasons but the main ones are we only want the best for Little Zeus (LZ) and Luna and they both have sensitivities. We’ve learned over the years that the low quality foods and certain ingredients caused them issues. They both would have itchy skin and Luna had stomach issues with some foods.

Here is our LZ eating his Instinct Raw. Remember that while it’s incredibly good for them it’s always best with any food to transition them in to it. We still also mix the Instinct Raw with a very high quality dry food or we give them some dry food separately. They like the crunchy dry food (which is a different brand) so we still keep it as part of their diet.

LZ and Instinct Raw Dog Food

To get tips on how to transition to raw dog food you can get some info from the Instinct Raw site HERE. We started LZ first on the raw food as he’s a little guy, needs the “meat” on him and he is pickier than Luna when it comes to what food he will eat. We thought if he likes it then Luna will love it. Well as you can see he loves his Instinct Raw dog food.

Instinct Raw is easy to serve

You just scoop and serve the Instinct Raw, no thawing is necessary and apparently our LZ  didn’t need it thawed, he just ate it right away. As I said though we do mix it with high quality dry food too.

LZ and Instinct Raw

Since LZ liked the Instinct Raw dog food so much we just this week started to let Luna try it. To say she inhaled it would be an understatement. It was gone in under a minute, good thing we just started her on a small portion as part of her transition LOL. For her it’s more of a treat right now than a full meal.

Benefits of Feeding Raw

While we’re at the early stages of the raw process I’ve heard nothing but good about raw food and that it can have some great benefits over the long term such as:

  • Healthy skin and coat
  • Optimal digestion
  • Healthy teeth and gums
  • Relief from food sensitivities *this one we can say yes for sure as our dogs are sensitive but they have no issues with raw dog food
  • Ideal body weight

Here’s Luna gobbling down on her Instinct Raw dog food 🙂

Luna and Instinct Raw

Do you want your dog/s or cat’s to try raw food?

If you’d like to have your dog or cat eating food that is whole food ingredients, no fillers, has natural enzymes for digestive health (important especially for Luna’s sensitive stomach) and it gives them the nutrients they need in the most natural form then Instinct Raw dog food or cat food is worth looking at! You can even get a $3 off coupon for Instinct Raw at http://www.instinctpetfood.com/getraw. You will also find out a lot of useful information there on the rigorous safety measures they go through for their food, benefits of raw food and more!

    My cousin strictly feeds her dogs a raw diet, she makes all of their food! They definitely have beautiful coats and they seem to be a great weight. I’ll have to mention this to her next time we talk, might save her a bit of time and energy.

    Truffle liked it once I put it on my fingers and mashed it a little. Brulee says the jury is still out of whether she’ll eat it.

Happy #Easter everyone. Hubby & I went camping and Happy #Easter everyone. Hubby & I went camping and just got back. We took both of our dogs with us and we think we broke them 😆 #CleoTheDog & #NyxTheDog were both soooo tired by around 8:30pm each night that they would go to our trailer door & look at ys waiting to be let in 😁 while we continued to enjoy our campfire 🔥It was great to unplug there is no cell service let alone internet where we go so we enjoyed the beautiful scenery. We are lucky to live in #BeautifulBC.
