Nutritionally Complete & Balanced
Raw diets carry an increased risk of food-borne illness due to their lack of preparation or cooking processes, so the American Veterinary Medical Association and FDA strongly discourage pet parents from feeding their pups raw foods as a precautionary measure.
Nature’s Variety’s Instinct line of products for dogs provides a balanced, whole and natural diet without fillers or artificial ingredients. Both their wet and dry foods feature freeze-dried raw pieces of meat for added nutrition, while the Instinct Raw Boost and Multivitamin toppers can add frozen meals that provide additional supplemental benefits to their kibble meal.
