About Instinct Raw Frozen Bites for Dogs

100% Raw Nutrition

Instinct believes that eating a diet rich in raw, unprocessed foods is just as good for our pets as it is for us. They make every meal with the understanding that real, less-processed, whole raw foods can have the power to transform lives.

Upgrade From Kibble to Frozen Raw

REAL, NATURAL INGREDIENTS

Instinct Raw frozen recipes deliver raw meat, fruits, vegetables and the wholesome ingredients your pet needs, all in a complete and balanced meal. It’s how pet food should be made—with real ingredients you can recognize.

NUTRIENT DENSE 

Raw foods retain more of the natural flavors, valuable antioxidants, amino acids, and vitamins and minerals your pet needs to stay healthy and thrive. Plus, they’re naturally more bioavailable, so the body gets more nutrients it can actually use.

100% COMPLETE AND BALANCED

These Frozen Bites are made with 85% meat and organs, and 15% fruits, vegetables, vitamins and minerals.

FROZEN FOR FRESHNESS

Freezing raw helps protect nutrients, preserving them at their peak for maximum freshness.

MADE WITHOUT FILLERS

These recipes are made without grain, corn, wheat, soy, legumes or artificial colors or preservatives.

The Benefits of Raw

Here are some of the positive changes you may notice when you start feeding your pet 100% raw nutrition.

Better Digestion

More Energy & Vitality

Weight Improvement

Improved Skin And Coat

Questions & Answers

9 Customer Questions

How many cups of food are in the 5.4 lb bag?

Answer by Chewy • Mar 10, 2022
The 2.7-pound bag contains approximately 10 cups of food and the 5.4 -pound bag contains approximately 20 cups of food.

Curious about how this arrives and how I prepare. Will it be frozen? Do I need to do anything before feeding?

Answer by Chewy • Nov 02, 2021
We package frozen items in an extra-thick insulated box with a bag of dry ice. This ensures the food remains frozen all the way to your door. Food should remain frozen until meal time. Bites thaw in minutes and should be cold to touch.

Does “raw” mean uncooked? Is it safe if we warm it up in a pan?

Answer by Chewy • Mar 24, 2022
This raw food is never cooked. Instinct does not recommend cooking the Instinct Raw Frozen Food. If it is cooked the nutrients will be cooked out of it and your pet will not be getting the proper vitamins and minerals needed in their food.

If used as a supplement for a 18 lb. dog, given 1 cup of dry food/day, how much is an adequate portion? Or should we cut back on the dry in lieu of added Instinct Raw

Answer by Chewy • Dec 06, 2021
According to the feed instructions for 16-25 lbs would be 2-3 cups. Always introduce a new food over a period of 5 to 7 days, mixing increasing amounts of Instinct with the current food each day.

FALSE ADVERTISING!

Beef is the second, third, and fourth ingredient. Deceptive. Instinct markets as Lamb Recipe. Their previous raw lamb Longevity was 100% lamb ingredients with vegetables

Beef is the second, third, and fourth ingredient. Deceptive. Instinct markets as Lamb Recipe. Their previous raw lamb Longevity was 100% lamb ingredients with vegetables and fruit added. Our dog is allergic to beef anything and it makes the dog very sick. We want our money back. Instinct has gone bad compared to what they used to make. False advertising is the worst. We are tremendously disappointed in Instinct discontinuing the Raw Longevity line and their false advertising on fresh raw bites.

Feeding COLD FOOD-Not Best for Stomach

My Golden enjoyed this food very much. Problem is being frozen it’s obviously very cold Benefit of feeding raw is nutrients are not destroyed during cooking Problem

My Golden enjoyed this food very much. Problem is being frozen it’s obviously very cold Benefit of feeding raw is nutrients are not destroyed during cooking Problem is prey animals don’t eat their fresh kills cold, rather at body temperature of animal they killed. Feeding cold food out of freezer is not ideal for digestion. Thus the conundrum of achieving benefits of raw diet without feeding ice cold food. Despite adding hot water the food was still ice cold 10 minutes later. Instructions are to discard 30 minutes out of freezer This may be a personal preference on feeding , however if one is considering frozen raw food for benefits of raw nutrition, one should also take into consideration effects of cold temperatures on food & digestion Chewy did an excellent job packing & shipping. My Golden likes the food. Feeding Temperature is the issue which I should have given more consideration.

On an overnight trip and box was still frozen!

The order came 1 day earlier than I had anticipated. We were on an overnight trip, so the box had to sit on our front porch for a full 36 hours before we got home

The order came 1 day earlier than I had anticipated. We were on an overnight trip, so the box had to sit on our front porch for a full 36 hours before we got home. It was 75ish degrees out, and the box was still frozen when we got home! Super happy I was able to put 2 bags directly into the freezer and not worry about them having been thawed previously.

Damaged product

Unfortunately 2 of the 3 bags I received had holes in them. There for i will not use since I don't know when the damaged happened and could be contaminated. Otherwise

Unfortunately 2 of the 3 bags I received had holes in them. There for i will not use since I don't know when the damaged happened and could be contaminated. Otherwise my dogs seem to like it and it is easy on there stomachs. Granted I did do a slow transition. Just turned out to be a waste of money since I couldn't use 2/3 of the product.

Convenient

This makes raw feeding so easy. The pellets are bite size and can be scooped into the bowl to thaw for 15-20min instead of overnight like frozen patties. Our pups
