This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Nature’s Variety. The opinions and text are all mine.
Do you feed your dog a raw diet? Honestly, I have mixed feelings about going 100% raw but refuse to budge when it comes to my girls being on an all natural, grain free diet. That being said, I am a big fan of raw treats for my girls. When the girls have a moderate amount of freeze dried treats or food that contains raw freeze dried meat, I see them being much happier, healthier, and they have the most beautiful, soft coats. With all the fantastic benefits, I try mixing in raw when I can, especially if it helps Reya eat one of the kibbles that went from “new favorite” to “BORING!” Recently, I found the perfect solution to pet parents who want the benefits of a raw diet without the mess or high price tag – Instinct® Raw Boost® Mixers.
If you guys are like me, you probably hadn’t heard of Instinct Raw Boost Mixers. This food provides owners with an easy to add, raw food topper that goes great with your dog’s normal kibble but doesn’t have the mess that normal comes with raw food. All you have to do is pour this protein packed, all natural, freeze dried food on (or better yet, mix with) your dog’s kibble and watch them go nuts over this treat. Best of all, dogs don’t get just get a treat, even one made from all natural ingredients, they can enjoy some of the benefits that come along with a raw, grain free diet, including:
- Optimal nutrient absorption
- Healthier skin & coat from nutritious oils
- Leaner muscles & stronger bones
- Softer coat
- Better digestion
- More energy
With such wonderful benefits, what pet parent wouldn’t want this for their dog? As well, Instinct Raw Boosters are budget-friendly, making them a great choice for dogs of all sizes.
One of the things that impressed me the most about Instinct Raw Boost Mixers is that they come in a variety of different flavors, especially in the trial packs. At our local PetSmart®, they had turkey, chicken, lamb, and beef. While we got the beef with Ivi’s sensitivity to turkey, we did end up picking up some turkey trial packs so that Reya could have a treat every so often. Since Reya rarely gets turkey anymore, this was a pretty awesome raw treat for her.
As for the topper itself, it was a major hit in our household. We measured out the recommended serving for our girls and then mixed it throughout their kibble. I actually can’t remember the last time Reya was so EXCITED about eating her kibble. While Ivi has been exclusively on their beef, Reya has been enjoying both the turkey and beef, and is gobbling them up happily. Since we have been feeding raw treats for some time, it’s hard to say if there are any changes, but I can say that I think it is a part of why their coat is beautiful year round and why they always have so much energy. What I can say, without question, is that I love how happy Reya is about eating with this food topper and we are definitely planning on buying more Instinct Raw Boost Mixers in the future.
Want to try this fantastic raw food with your own dogs? You can find Instinct Raw Boost Mixers at your local PetSmart store or at PetSmart.com. As well, until January 31st, you can get the 4 oz bag for 20% off or 3 of the trial bags for only $5! Who said feeding raw couldn’t be budget friendly?

this looks like something that I migh t like to try for our dog his name is butter. He is now 12 years old and I don’t know if he is tired of the same old dog food, but he doesn’t eat it like he used to. Maybe I can try to sweeten it up for him.
OMG I have to get this for my pup. He’s 12 so this natural food would be perfect for him. Iv always seen the frozen food in freezer but never stopped to look. This will be the 1st to chk out and I can just mix with kibble like you said
We would love to try this, but we were wondering…
With some dog breeds prone to bloat, are you soaking the freeze dried boost before adding it to your dogs’ kibble? (So it expands before it is in their stomachs?)
It isn’t necessary if it is freeze dried properly, especially if your dogs have access to adequate water throughout the day. As a general rule of thumb, 1 oz of water per pound. My girls, combined, need 160 oz of water a day, so we have two 100 oz water fountains in the house (one on each floor) AND water in their dish. I don’t think with how the treats themselves are freeze dried that they will expand in water. 🙂
I have one dog that’s picky and one that will eat anything. Maybe this will help my picky dog be more interested in his food!
My dog needs to try this. I think it would be great for her energy level. She’s so lethargic all the time.
Whell, I know my dog would appreciate a treat like this… He’s a 4 year old german sheppard 🙂
I like this idea. Our little girl loves food and changing it up. We like to add things in it for different flavors, but I haven’t tried this. Instinct is a high quality brand, and I will have to look for this.
Thank you! My fur babies will love this!
Excuse my ignorance on the subject, but when you say raw do you mean real, raw meat? I know nothing about dogs and dog food, so I really am clueless.
Thank you, I think I will try this.
This sound like it would be great for our dog who is also a Husky . Thanks for the info on it.
I am always looking for a new and healthy way to supplement my Buddie’s diet. I will definately look into this for him.
these look great for the dogs i watch
This would be a great change of pace to my dog’s regular diet. I bet he would love to try this!
Super fun!! Love that they are healthy and delicious!! It can be hard to find those both in foods 🙂
I need to try these with my three dogs!
She has such a pretty face she deserves to have this high a quality of meal
Nutrition is important for people and as important for our pets.
Thank you for sharing this great idea!!!
This sounds like such a good thing. My dog is very small and needs tiny pieces. I was wondering if they come in different size pieces.
I will have to get some of these for my dog.
I don’t have a dog but I’m sure my neighbour would want to try this on her Huskies. Will share this with her. Thanks!
The freeze dried raw food is really the optimal way to go, I couldn’t imagine doing a full-fresh diet with how irregular my schedule is. I wonder if instinct has this for cats as well?
I did read somewhere a while ago that mixing the regular food (kibble) with raw can have adverse effects on their digestive system. Something to look into I guess?
We have an older min pin that is getting up in years. This sounds like a product he may benefit from. I never heard of it before.
This sounds like a great way to make sure the dog is getting a variety of flavors.
I’ve heard good things about this stuff. I’m going to give it a try.
These weren’t even on the market when I last had a dog. Good invention.
These sound like something that would get my pup excited about mealtime. He’s quite finicky and it would be nice not to have to do a song and dance to get him to eat his meals.
Dogs have a caring energetic character and with good nutrition like this boost they will be joyful healthy happy pets.
This sounds amazing. My poor doggie had allergies till I swapped him to more natural food and he was so happy and looked fab
This is a great idea. Maybe if I could get my hands on some of this food my pup would enjoy them. I love seeing her happy so i might just give it a try!
amazing
Although this does look like a yummy treat, and has so many healthy byproducts..our Golden get ill from any deviation from her regular foodstuffs
I think this would be fine for a dog when we used to be on the farm years ago we fed our dog raw products and they loved them
When we had dogs, they were feed a raw diet and they really thrived. We knew exactly what they were getting – no additives and it was recommended by our holistic vet at the time
This sounds like something the dogs would like, and benefit from.
It looks like a great product for the dogs.
That food looks good. My dogs would love it. I have a Corgi and a lab. We usually buy the cheaper food, but that looks worth trying.
I love that there are different flavors, and that it makes a shiny coat, I think that is important.
We take care of ourselves with Vitamins and diets so why not your pets, they deserve the same kindness of good health and growth,
This sounds like a good pick for dog owners!
My aunt has three dogs this may work for her. I hope that her dogs like it.
aww your dog is so cute. i love this review looks like the best thing to have. I appreciate your review and thanks again for sharing with me. i will have to tell my friends about this one.
I don’t have a dog myself but I know other people who do. I’ll definitely share this with them!
Theses dogs are so cute
