But if you leave it to the experts and feed a premade raw meal like Instinct Raw, you can rest easy knowing your dog’s food is perfectly safe and nutritionally balanced. Instinct uses cold-pressure technology (aka high-pressure processing, or HPP) to ensure their raw food formulas are safe and free from bacteria. Their raw food is also prepared, produced, and handled to the highest possible food safety and quality standards, making them the only raw pet food company in North America to achieve an “excellent” Safe Quality Food (SQF) food safety rating.
