Our take on the Instinct Raw Boost Whole Grain Kibble Freeze-Dried Raw 3.5 lb

Instinct Raw Boost Whole Grain is a dry dog food that mixes whole-grain kibble with pieces of freeze-dried raw beef, liver and produce. It targets owners who want raw-style nutrition without preparing raw meals, and it sits alongside Instinct's grain-free Raw Boost line for dogs that do better with whole grains. The formula supplies omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, zinc, calcium and a full vitamin panel, with beef and liver as the lead animal ingredients. Reviewers generally like the visible raw pieces and the ingredient list, while some note the small bag size and that picky dogs may sort out the raw bits.

Best forOwners who want raw-style feeding without handling raw meatDogs that do well on whole-grain formulasSmall and medium dogs, given the bag sizeAdding a nutrient-dense topper or mixer to a plain kibble
Pros
  • Freeze-dried raw beef and liver pieces mixed into the kibble
  • Whole grains instead of grain-free fillers
  • Omega-3 and omega-6 for skin and coat
  • Broad vitamin and mineral panel including zinc and calcium
  • Simple, recognizable ingredients like carrot, apple and peas
Cons
  • Small bag runs out fast for larger dogs
  • Raw pieces can be picked out and leave the kibble behind
  • Some dogs need a slow transition to avoid loose stools
  • Higher ingredient standard than basic grocery kibble, so not a budget pick

Questions and answers

Is this the same as Instinct's grain-free Raw Boost?
No. This version uses whole grains, while the original Raw Boost is grain-free. The raw freeze-dried pieces are similar in both.
How much should I feed my dog?
Follow the feeding chart on the bag, which scales by dog weight, and split it across meals. Adjust for age, activity and body condition, and transition over about a week.
Can puppies eat it?
It is formulated for adult dogs. For puppies, check Instinct's puppy formulas or ask your vet before feeding this one.
Does it contain chicken or other proteins?
Beef and liver lead the animal ingredients, but read the full ingredient panel on the bag if your dog has protein sensitivities.
How should I store it?
Keep the bag sealed in a cool, dry place and reseal it after each scoop. Freeze-dried pieces stay fresher when the bag is closed tightly.
