Topper · complementary

This is sold as a topper, not as an everyday meal. The 1–100 rating applies to complete meals, so it isn't scored. Ingredient breakdown below.

Our verdict

Is Instinct Pet Food RawBoost+ Shakers Cage-Free Chicken Recipe a good dog food?

This is a topper, not a complete diet, so it is not scored on our 1-100 scale. The ingredient breakdown below shows what is in it; a topper should be fed alongside, not instead of, a complete diet.

How we score

Only part of the analytical constituents are declared, so the nutritional picture is incomplete.

100% of this recipe has no printed percentage. Estimated shares are model estimates, not label facts.

What the label tells us

The parsed label contains 19 ingredient entries.
Names its animal sources (4 named ingredients).
Uses generic terms (Chicken): the specific animal source is not stated.
Lists no artificial colours or preservatives.
Prints no ingredient quantities.

Why is this treat not scored?

Our 1 to 100 rating applies to complete everyday meals. Treats are presented through their ingredients, label facts and feeding information rather than a number that could be mistaken for a meal rating.

What should I look for on a treat label?

Look for the ingredient list, named animal sources where species matters to you, any printed quantities, additive declarations, energy and the feeding guide. Single-ingredient products can be simpler, but are not automatically better for every dog or purpose.

These facts come from the manufacturer's published ingredient list.

Who is this food for?

Suits

Labelled by the manufacturer for all lifestages
Grain-free: no grain ingredients listed
Doesn't list beef, lamb, venison, pork, duck as ingredients

Consider something else if:

Your dog avoids chicken: the label lists chicken
Your dog avoids turkey: the label lists turkey liver
Your dog avoids fish: the label lists salmon oil
You want a single-protein recipe: this one lists more than one animal protein

These points are derived from declared ingredients and analysis, not a substitute for veterinary advice. If your dog has a diagnosed condition, food choice is a medical nutrition decision: speak to your vet. Find foods that fit your dog.
