When it comes to diet and nutrition, our four-legged friends aren’t so different from us. When our pup’s food tastes better, they get more excited for mealtime. When it’s full of nutrients like protein, fruits, and vegetables, they have more energy throughout the day.
When it’s minimally processed, they’re happier and healthier. Sound familiar? All species benefit from higher food quality — and as pet parents, those benefits are in our hands.
We’ve all found ourselves in the pet food aisle, sifting through nutrition facts, packaging, and price. The truth is, there’s an ocean of options out there. But nothing compares to how a raw food diet can unlock your dog’s potential.
Just like us, humans appreciate a healthy, hearty meal, our dogs appreciate the 100% raw nutrition of Instinct Raw. In fact, as we dig in deeper, you’ll find it hard for any ordinary kibble to compare.
What is a raw diet?
A raw food diet is as simple as it gets, just thinks: real ingredients, like cage-free chicken and non-GMO fruits and vegetables. Those whole-food ingredients are never cooked or heated — meaning, more nutrients remain intact than in cooked pet food, like kibble.
Some pet parents create their own homemade raw diets with raw meat and more — but it’s important to note that this method isn’t typically the best or safest. On our own, it’s difficult to calculate the proper nutritional balance and there’s no pathogen reduction step. Pre-made raw diets like Instinct Raw are the best option for safe, complete and balanced, raw food.
Instead of high heat, Instinct uses Cold Pressure (AKA High-Pressure Processing, or HPP), a natural, USDA-recognized process that ensures their raw food formulas are safe and free from bacteria. Instinct’s raw recipes are loaded with nutrients, minus the artificial ingredients and preservatives. And how is that connected to your dog’s best self? Check out these five reasons.
5 Reasons To Start Your Dog On A Raw Food Diet
1. Raw food has higher nutritional value.
Like we said, a raw diet consists of real food. And this translates to real nutritional value. For example, the Instinct Raw Bites Real Beef Recipe consists of 85% meat and organs, and 15% non-GMO vegetables, fruits, vitamins, and minerals.
Because these ingredients aren’t cooked, their nutritional integrity makes it into your pet’s bowl, so they get the most out of every bite. And High-Pressure Processing ensures that the raw food is safe. Not to mention, it maintains the flavor your furry pal is soon to love. And if it’s not beef, check out the chicken and lamb recipes!
2. Raw food increases your dog’s mealtime excitement.
If you’re not getting all the panting, tail-wagging, and bouncing come mealtime, then you and your pup are both seriously missing out.
When our pets get more out of their mealtime, it’s satisfying for everybody involved. Whether you transition your pet to a 100% raw diet or start adding raw to their current routine, you’ll be able to see a difference in their excitement and behavior as soon as you walk in the kitchen.
It’s true for you too, right? When you’re absolutely starving, would you rather sit down to a bowl of cereal, or a Buddha Bowl loaded with veggies, protein, and healthy grains?
3. Raw food can reduce the risk of skin allergies.
Just like humans, dogs can develop reactions to different environmental allergens. But whereas we react with a bit of a runny nose, our dogs can experience skin problems and ear infections, to name a few.
According to the University of Helsinki’s DogRisk research program, feeding puppies raw food can reduce the risk of developing allergies later in life.
Because dogs tend to develop their allergies around one to three years old, the earlier the better for a raw food diet. Similar to allergies, pet parents have reported that a raw food diet helps relieve their dogs from food sensitivities. Instinct Raw formulas can help your pet step one paw closer to more resilient health.
