RawMix Front Range Ancient Grains Dog Kibble vs Instinct Raw Boost Grain-Free Chicken Dry Dog Food

Both are raw-coated kibbles with freeze-dried pieces, but they aim at different dogs. RawMix Front Range is a multi-animal red-meat blend with ancient grains, sold in a large bag, and suits picky eaters and households feeding several dogs. Instinct Raw Boost is a chicken-based, grain-free formula with probiotics and higher omega levels, sold in a small bag, and suits small breeds and dogs with grain sensitivities. Reviewers rate RawMix highly, but the sample is one retailer's ratings, so weigh the grain-free trade-off and bag size against your dog.

• Choose the RawMix Front Range if you want a grain-inclusive red-meat blend with beef, lamb and pork, freeze-dried raw chunks, and a big bag for medium or large dogs or a multi-dog home.
• Choose the Instinct Raw Boost if you want a grain-free chicken formula with added probiotics and omega fatty acids in a small bag sized for small breeds or a trial run.
