One of the most common misconceptions people have when they hear about feeding your dog a raw diet is that it must be difficult and time-consuming. And it’s no wonder – from figuring out the nutritional value of raw food and how it corresponds to your pet’s needs to sourcing, storing, and preparing, there are plenty of factors to consider before making the switch to feeding raw. But does it really have to be like that?

Playing fetch with your dog is an age-old pastime that has brought joy to thousands of dog parents over the years. From throwing dog toys and frisbees to tennis balls and sticks, few activities are as closely associated with our canine companions. But many dog owners are unaware of the risks related to stick throwing.

Figuring out which type of diet will be the best choice for your four-legged baby can be difficult – especially with all the myths and misinformation out there. This is particularly true if you are looking into alternatives to dry food such as a commercial raw diet from a brand like Instinct, whether your dog is allergic to certain ingredients or you simply prefer their meals to be more natural. Instinct’s raw food is crafted by a board-certified veterinary nutritionist to be complete and balanced.
