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.

Can this be fed to ferrets?Â
- 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.

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.
