\"natural_instinct_logoSML\"<\/strong><\/a><\/strong>When your pet puts on weight, it\u2019s a tough task to tackle but there are plenty of solutions, including a raw food diet. One of the benefits of feeding your pet with a raw food diet\u00a0is that it\u00a0contains no grains and the carbohydrates are in the form of vegetables, a great way to provide fibre in the diet. By doing this, you\u2019ll be avoiding easily stored carbohydrates such as rice, maize and potato, essential in avoiding weight gain. Lower fat varieties such as turkey and tripe are recommended in the diet for heavier pets.<\/p>\n

Why should you choose a raw diet for your pet\u2019s health?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The\u00a0finest ingredients.\u00a0Natural Instinct don\u2019t use anything artificial in the food they make.<\/li>\n

  3. It’s a healthy, balanced diet. Our furry friends need the perfect diet \u2013\u00a0just like us humans \u2013 that will maintain strong bones, muscles and digestion. And giving them this will give you a much happier, healthier dog or cat.<\/li>\n
  4. It’s convenient\u00a0\u2013 Natural Instinct\u2019s food is packaged in easy-to-store tubs in various sizes \u2013 so you can simply defrost and serve. Easy!<\/li>\n
