Questions
Can this food completely replace regular dry cat food?
- Apparently it can be. The bag says "complete and balanced." I don't use it to replace everything else. It would be too expensive and I prefer to give my cats more variety so they don't get used to one thing or be deprived of other nutrients.
Helpful?
If I free feed this to my cats, do I need to be aware of bacteria growing because it's raw ingredients?
- No, its freeze dried. My cats love the stuff. Honestly, I can't buy enough of the stuff.
Helpful?
Can this be fed to ferrets?
- Hello! Our food is formulated and intended for dogs & cats only. Thanks!
Helpful?
How should this be stored after opening?
- Hello! We recommend keeping the Raw Meals in a cool dark place at room temperature and sealed between feedings. Thanks!
Helpful?
How many cups per package?
- The bag weighs 9.5 oz. There are 8 oz. in a cup. If you crumble the nuggets and add water, it goes a lot further.
Helpful?
Can this be blended with water? One of my cats prefers canned food, but I'd like to switch them all to raw over the next year.
- If you’re talking about the freeze dried pellets, I use water all the time. I put just a little bit of hot water to kind of make it a little softer and my kitty eats it fine. Sometimes I give them his treats. But as a wet food or a dry food they both work fine.

Can you feed this to cats that have urinary issues, specifically a history of struvite crystals?
- Hi there! Although our food is formulated to meet all AAFCO nutrient requirements to be complete and balanced for all life stages, it’s not formulated for special needs pets. For pets with special needs, we recommend consulting with your trusted veterinarian to choose the right food. If your vet has certain nutrient requirements, we will be happy to work with them to try to find a good diet for your pet. Thanks!

What's with the clay in the ingredients? Doesn't sound like a natural food ingredient to me.
- Hello, Montmorillonite Clay is an ingredient in all of our diets. We use Montmorillonite Clay sourced from deposits in southern Utah and we have used this same natural source for many years. Montmorillonite Clay is approved by AAFCO for use as an anticaking processing aid to absorb excess moisture and to help keep the food from clumping. Nature's Variety is committed to using high quality, safe ingredients. We take great pride in our diets and formulas and we stand behind our products every step of the way.

Is this a new version?
- Hi There! Yes, our Freeze Dried Meals have just recently launched this year! :)

I have a 10 pound cat. You recommend 3/4 cup. Your peoduct is sold by weight. How many cups are in the 9.5 ounce package. I'm trying to figure how much I need for a week. Thanks
- I feed my animals raw (the actual red, bloody kind) and with feeding that type raw, the recommendation is always to feed between 2 and 3% of their IDEAL body weight. I would assume the same would be true for this, since it is raw in freeze dried form. So, in that instance, if you take your (assuming 10lbs is your cats ideal weight) 10lbs , then if you want to feed 2.5% of his body weight, you multiply by .025, which gives you .25 that you multiply by 16 for # of ounces in a pound. So, that would equal 4oz per day. And I would go by the hydrated weight, so the food weight AFTER you add water to it, which I would DEFINITELY do. I have fed my animals by that formula for years, and all 6 are perfect weight. Good Luck!!

Hi, I would like to know what’s a good brand name grain free cat food to give my Cat.?
Hello! Is grain free canned food safe for my cat?
Best low-carb wet food for cats?
This is where Luna's food is stored. For the past few days I've caught her biting the container lid. Why is that? She's fed 1/2 cup per day of purina cat chow naturals, but is she still hungry?
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
Nutro, Blue Buffalo, Wellness, Taste of the Wild or Rachel Ray Nutrish for dry cat food? Cat has no known allergies or health conditions. Open to other recommendations. Want high quality and natural food that is healthy
How to change your cats food
The last time I asked this question the vet was incorrect and didn’t even bother to read the pictures I had sent, instead called it dog food and said I couldn’t use it, not a very professional reply. I know some ferrents who feed Instinct Raw to their babes& that their Ferrets are happy, healthy & absolutely love this food. Would only be feeding it in AM, Wysong for entire rest of day. This is cat food and is also grain free, I know Ferrets don’t need fruits but I don’t have time to do full raw.
Hi there. I was thinking about switching my cat to a better quality food. I know the first at least 3 ingredients should be chicken, chicken meal etc vs corn or grains. My cat is 20lbs. Vet told me he should be 16lbs & be on a low fat diet. I don't think his purina pro plan weight mgmt is helping anymore. Fat is 12.5% max in that food. But other foods have more fat. I wonder if a grain free diet would help keep him full longer? How many calories/cups a day he should eat? Worried about weightgain
