Questions
I got this one instead of the cat version by accident. Is there a difference between the two and is it safe for my cat?
- For just the chicken flavor, the dog is the same as the cat.

calories per cup in Instinct Raw Meals
- Hi There! Our Freeze-Dried Raw Meals has 179 kcal/cup. Thanks!

If frozen real beef recipe and freeze dried is same product seems strange my dog turns nose up at the frozen but will gobble down the freeze dried whether it's rehydrated or left dry. Please give input as to difference of frozen and rehydrated frz-dried.
- Hello! Our Freeze-Dried Raw Meal Beef recipe and Instinct Raw Frozen Beef recipe are the same, but pets can certainly be finicky about different things such as texture and temperature. Your dog may simply not like cold food, or they may just prefer the texture of the freeze-dried food. Sometimes it just takes some trial and error to find the right food for your pet.

Comparing freeze dried real beef recipe to frozen, assuming freeze dried is the same product as frozen just dehydrated.Product analysis is very different, example...freeze dried 36%protein,30%fat compared to frozen 13%protein,8%fat.Please explain why.
- Hello, our freeze-dried food and our frozen food have significantly different levels of moisture. This will affect the percentages of protein and fat on an "As Fed" basis as listed in our Guaranteed Analysis. The Freeze-Dried Raw Meals Chicken recipe is made up of 6% moisture, while the Instinct Raw Frozen Chicken recipe is made up of 70% moisture. If you are trying to compare nutrient levels between different varieties of food (kibble, canned, freeze-dried, frozen), you would typically want to compare the percentages on a "Dry Matter" basis. If you would like more information on this, please contact us directly. Thanks!

How can you expect people to pay 25 dollars A DAY for dog food, especially during times like these?
- Yes, but you can use as a topper, mix with other food. Better some than none.
Helpful?
Do you honestly expect regular people to pay $50 to feed their 50lb dog for 3 days?
- Absolutely!! When you feed a raw or fresh diet it is so much better for your dog than kibble! But when traveling or your dog is at the pet sitter, freeze dried is very convenient and light weight. Even if you don't use the freeze dried for the whole meal adding it to your kibble meals will greatly increase the necessary nutrients for your dog.

I’m confused so if my dog is 51lbs+ he gets 4 cups a day. That’s 12 cups in 2 days, meaning this 50$ bag is only good for 3 days of use!?!? That’s not going to work for me. This is worse than the fresh food!
- Hi There! Yes, in order to reach the daily calorie content, larger dogs do require more cups per day. If you are wanting to use the Freeze Dried Meals, you could always mix with another food to help offset the cost. Thanks!
Helpful?
How many cups are in a 25oz bag?
- Hi There! There’s approximately 4.75 cups in a 9.5oz bag and 12.5cups in a 25oz bag. Thanks!
Helpful?
how does this product compare to the raw boost mixers. Are they the same?
- Hi There! Our Instinct Raw Meals are complete and balanced for a daily diet. Our Mixers are not a complete and balanced meal and are meant as a treat or topper. Thanks!

My dog is not eating his regular food (kibble) I was feeding him Instinct Raw Boost Chicken flavor and he ate that fine most of the time. I switched about 2 weeks ago to Instinct Original Chicken Flavor ( no raw boost). As far as I know the only difference between the 2 is that the Original does not have bits of freeze dried raw in it. He has hardly eaten anything for 2 days. I don’t think it’s a medical issue because he will eat treats fine. Please help
Bought purina one lamb and rice. Concerned on an ingredient. Chicken by product meal? Was taught bad for dogs and can be diesed animals. Mixing with 80 to 20 ratio of food the 80 percent is pure Balance trout and lentils grain free. But some of you say grains are good and they don’t have an allegry as they eat grained dog treats and Cheerios with no problems. Plus this food had real meat chucks and wanted to train them to eat dry food only. Thanks!
I am in need of urinary grain free dog food for my pug,any naturals dog foods that fit that description?
is raw freeze dried boosters good for odgs
Best inexpensive boxer dry dog food
Is it safe to give my raw chicken feet. Can dog get sick from bacteria. Also I feed my dog Stella and chew and Merrick freeze dried food. Is freeze dried food safe for dog, and does it have all the nutrients my dog need. Thanks
Dogs on canned food with dry food. Want them on dry food only. Very picky dogs. Thinking for their transition blending freeze dried bully mini cubes to make a yummy powder on top. A youtuber names Simpatico recommended for finicky dogs (liver treats) but how and when can I fade that out? Thinking just a table spoon or so the most on the food
Have a question on what dog dry food you would recommend? Wellness core ? Wellness complete health ? Blue wilderness high protein grain free ? Taste of the wild ?
How to make dog food for my 6 lb dog.
Sensitive stomach, diarrhea. Looking for large breed sensitive stomach food. Currently on natures recipes easy digest, grain free chicken and sweet potatoes.
What is the best food to feed a 55-pound highly active hound? I was told to switch to grain free, but her stool has been mucous like and runny. I've tried Redford Naturals Limited Ingredient (I've tried chicken, beef, sweet potato) and American Journey Limited ingredient (lamb). Just looking to find the best dog food for a very active hound that won't break the bank. Also, I'm concerned with all this news of heart problems linked with specific foods.
I am getting an 8 week Cocker Spaniel. I am not new to Cocker Spaniel, just puppy versions. I want to try a new food for her, and need suggestions. I did research & came across these dry foods: Merrick Grain Free Real Salmon+Sweet Potato, Merrick Limited Ingredient Grain Free Real Salmon+Sweet Potato, Taste of Wild Pacific Stream Grain Free Smoked Salmon, Taste of Wild Appalachian Valley Small Bree’s Grain after Roasted Venison. Are any of those good, if so which one? Want to stay chicken free.
