Puppyhood is such a critical time in dogs’ lives, not only for training purposes but also for setting the stage for long-term health. Specifically, what puppies consume at an early age can predict the development of certain health conditions. That’s why starting with a high-quality and nutritionally balanced diet, like Instinct Raw, should be at the top of your puppy priority list. A raw food diet offers a variety of unique benefits for puppies’ long-term health—and we’ve got the research to prove it! But first, let’s dive into the basics. Instinct’s responsibly sourced ingredients are carefully selected to support the nutritional needs of a growing pup. That includes natural DHA from salmon oil and cod for trainability and cognitive development, cage-free chicken for healthy muscle and bone growth, and more. But aside from superior nutritional value, what makes Instinct stand out is their dedication to safe and quality raw ingredients. Research shows that feeding puppies a raw diet—as opposed to kibble—can support better health down the road. Taking one worry off your plate by putting Instinct Raw on theirs will set your pup up for success and overall well-being down the line. And they’ll be sure to thank you for it, tails wagging and mouths watering! Ryan is passionate about holistic health, fitness, and spiritually-centered living.
