Questions
sodium content?
- This answer is from Co-Pilot AI: "The sodium content of Instinct Freeze Dried Raw Meals Grain Free Cage Free Chicken Recipe Cat Food is 0.48% on a dry matter basis, which is approximately 94 mg. If you're looking for more details, you can check the product packaging or visit the manufacturer's website."
Helpful?
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.
Helpful?
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!
Helpful?
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! :)

How to change your cats food
Skye is not eating her canned wet food anymore and I don't want to stop feeding her wet food. Is primal formula freeze dried safe to give her? I'm thinking of trying freeze dried for her but I want to ask before I do so. Thank you
Hi, I just bought a new food which is canned pure beef for cats. Noushi refuses to eat it. How can I make her eat it & get used to it. This is a high quality food !
My male cat is almost 14. I know he is starting kidney problems due to the extra water he drinks at this point. and a bit thinner. lots of energy still. I read they need at least 50% protein, I give him wet and dry which i know is not good, but lots of wet and freeze dried chicken too, vit with dig enzymes. Can you suggest the best Wet high protein food and anything else from Petco?
Hi can I use a freeze dried raw dinner morsel as a topper on Tony’s kidney food? It seemed to really help him enjoy his kidney food today , like never before. He is in early stages, and kidney food has been a struggle even on an appetite stimulant. The crude protein on the bag says 45.0%. Is that too high for a cat with early kidney,? thx!!
What’s the best cat food I can give to my cat? She’s a Bombay and is 2 years, 5 months and she really likes chicken and turkey flavors. I tried Rachel Ray, natural balance and she dosent like there wet food for some reason?
I make my own cat food, my question is am I giving him the proper amount of nutrients? I use three chicken breasts three eggs half a cup of steel cut oats and a teeny bit of clam juice for flavoring. Sometimes when I'm able to have it I put cranberries as well. What can I add to make anymore round diet?
FreshPet makes a meat pate for cats & dogs. Is it dangerous folr cats to eat the Dog Pate?
In a ideal wet cat food for an indoor cat how much carbs n how much protein ? Also is dried egg product good as an ingredient? Thank you
Hey! My dog ate some food that was left out for maybe 7 hours accidentally. Stella and Chewy’s ‘Meal Mixers’, chicken based freeze dried raw — if you add water, it says to consume within 2 hours. Our dog seems fine but we’re a little worried. Any ideas? She is a 5 year old Havanese about, ive attaches photos. Thanks!
