Customers say

Customers overwhelmingly praise this dog food for exceptional palatability, with even the pickiest eaters eagerly devouring it. Many report significant health improvements including shinier coats, increased energy, and better digestion, particularly for dogs with sensitivities. Reviewers commend the clean, recognizable ingredients featuring real antibiotic-free beef and the freeze-dried format that preserves nutrients. A few note the high price limits use as a primary food source, though most consider the quality and results worthwhile.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really appreciate that fresh dried beef food for my dog. Great ingredients with number one being beef raised without antibiotics or added hormones. Also the 85% ratio of meat and organs. my dog loved the consistency of those little nuggets and had them chewed down in no time.

Dog loves it and has an allergy to chicken and it’

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My Pomeranian loves this stuff, when I put it in his bowl it’s the first thing he eats and he devours it lol. He’s allergic to chicken but this doesn’t have any chicken in it and it’s hard to find treats or food that doesn’t have some type of chicken in it. I only give him a couple hand fulls on top of his meal.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] They could not get enough of this! The package is resealable so that’s a bonus. If gives you the amount to portion out for your dogs weight, makes it so easy to not over feed them

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good product and weight for the size of the bag. Consistency of the food is comparable to other.brands. The durability of the bag keeps you from spilling it, so I like the cleanliness. The smell is okay and the dogs think so as well.

Yummy, but Expensive

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We received a sample size of this dog food to try. The directions say to mix it in with your dog’s regular food if they are new to this. We mixed it in, but our dog ate all of the new pieces first. She loves it! I looked the cost up online and unfortunately, it’s pretty expensive. If she had a job and bought her own food, this would probably be all she would eat!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] He was really excited about the smell and bag, which i liked the packaging as well. Then I opened it and handed him 1 and he was like, what is this? It looks like dried up dog food and he was not pleased. Maybe a bigger dog that takes small treats but my dog thinks he is special

Questions

1 - 10 of 10 Questions

Is the freeze dried heated at high temps to dry it?

  1. Hello! No, our freeze dried raw is not heated at high temperatures.



How many cups a day for a 5 yr old cane corso wt about 118 lbs

  1. Hello! For a 118 lb 5 year old dog, you would need to feed 10 & 5/8 cup daily. :)



What is the best way to store the freeze dried food to maintain freshness?

  1. Hello! Our freeze-dried Raw should be kept in a cool dry place such as a cabinet or pantry. You can keep it in the original bag and reseal it between use or put them in an airtight container. Hope this helps! :)



My whippet eats the Instinct Raw frozen bites, but it takes up a lot of room in my freezer. If I substitute the freeze dried version (& rehydrate it), do I still have to transition slowly over a week or can I change it to freeze dried of same flavor?

  1. I suggest you contact Instinct directly for this. I use both the freeze dried (I do not rehydrate it) and the frozen - I mix the freeze dried with Instinct kibble & freeze dried in the AM - half and half-and mix the frozen (defrosted) with with the kibble at night my australian labradoodle loves both



How many cups are in the 25oz bags?

  1. I just measured a new bag, and it is approximately 15 cups per 25 oz bag.



The freeze dried raw isn't sold in big bags? I have 2 adult cattle dogs and there's no way I can afford enough 25 oz bags to feed them

  1. Have 6lb bags in the freezer not freeze dry I buy both and mix 



I have a 3 month old F4ench Bulldog pup. Would this be suitable for him, does it have everything he would need as a 3month old?

  1. Hi There! Yes, our Raw Meals are complete and balanced for All Life Stages, including puppies who will weigh under 70lbs as an adult. The only thing to remember is that a puppy will typically eat up to double the amount recommended for an adult at the same weight. Thanks!



I'm confused, cuz it said freeze dried raw WET (?) dog food. How the freeze dried could be wet? Is it spoiled? I don't get it, sorry. Could anyone, please, shine a light on this mystery? Thank you in advance.

  1. Hi there! This product is a dry food, though some pet parents do choose to add a little water in to rehydrate it prior to feeding. We will reach out to Petco about updating this listing. Thanks!



How many cups should an active 45 pound 13 month old dog eat per day of your freeze dried raw food?

  1. Hi There! A 45lb dog would eat about 4cups per day. Thanks!



How many cups are in the bag?

  1. 25 oz by weight not by volume (8oz volume in a cup). I got a 2oz sample bag and it was about 1 cup.
