Instinct Bites Chicken Recipe Grain-Free Cage-Free Raw Frozen Puppy Food, 3-lb bag

While Instinct does not add synthetic taurine as a separate ingredient in most of their dog recipes, they do all contain naturally derived taurine. Meat naturally contains a lot of taurine through amino acids methionine and cysteine and is the primary source of naturally derived taurine. Dogs can easily and naturally synthesize these amino acids during their normal sulfur amino acid metabolism to taurine. At Instinct, because the recipes are meat-rich, all of their recipes have more than adequate levels of these naturally occurring amino acids given the amount of animal ingredients included. This recipe contains approximately 0.16% taurine on an as-fed basis (approximately 0.53% taurine on a dry matter basis).

The 3 pound bag will contain approximately 12 cups of food.

This food should not be cooked. Keep frozen until mealtime. The food thaws in minutes and should be served cold. The raw, uncooked foods retain natural flavors, valuable antioxidants, amino acids, vitamins and minerals — for a more nutritious and healthy food.

This Bites Raw Frozen Puppy recipe has a calcium content of 0.518% on an as-fed basis (1.73% on a dry matter basis) and a phosphorus content of 0.35% on an as-fed basis (1.17% on a dry matter basis).
