Our take on the Instinct RawBoost Whole Grain Kibble Freeze-Dried Raw Puppy Dry Dog Food 3.5 lbs

Instinct Raw Boost Puppy is a whole grain kibble with freeze-dried raw chicken pieces mixed in, aimed at owners who want raw-style nutrition without a fully raw diet. It leads with chicken and includes rice, peas and carrots, plus omega-6, zinc, iron and vitamins A, D, E and B. Compared with grain-free puppy foods, the whole grain formula suits owners who prefer rice as the carbohydrate source. Reviewers generally report eager eating and good stool quality, though some find the raw pieces make the bag inconsistent.

Questions and answers

Is this food grain-free?
No. Despite the grain-free label on some listings, this formula is whole grain and includes rice. Check the ingredient panel on the bag you receive.
How do I switch my puppy to it?
Mix it with the current food over seven to ten days, increasing the new food gradually. Owners who switched abruptly reported loose stools.
Is it suitable for large breed puppies?
It is a general puppy formula, not a large-breed-specific one. Large breed owners should confirm calcium and phosphorus levels with their vet.
Does it contain chicken?
Yes. Chicken is the first ingredient and the freeze-dried raw pieces are chicken based. Avoid it for chicken-sensitive puppies.
How should I store the bag?
Keep it sealed in a cool, dry place and mix the bag before scooping so the raw pieces are distributed evenly.
Can adult dogs eat it?
It is formulated for puppies and pregnant or nursing dogs. Adult dogs are better served by an adult formula.
