About Instinct Raw Boost Mixers for Gut Health for Dogs

Tasty Toppers for Targeted Wellness

Add excitement and a boost of nutrition to your dog’s meals with Instinct Raw Boost Mixers. Available in a variety of formulas, these freeze-dried raw pieces combine real meat and organs with functional, whole-food ingredients. Made to support targeted wellness, these mixers can be used as an all-natural meal topper or a healthy treat for your pet.

Supports a Balanced, Healthy Gut

Instinct Raw Boost Mixers for Gut Health are made with nutrient-dense, freeze-dried raw pieces that contain fiber and live, natural probiotics for improved digestive health. Made with cage-free chicken and functional, whole-food ingredients like pumpkin, sweet potato, chicory root, apple cider vinegar and probiotics, they provide an easy way to add raw nutrition to your pet’s diet. Bursting with flavor, they make a great all-natural meal topper or healthy treat.

Minimally Processed and Never Cooked

Eating a diet rich in minimally processed foods is just as good for our pets as it is for us. Instinct raw recipes are made with responsibly sourced meat and non-GMO fruits and vegetables that are minimally processed—and never cooked—to keep their nutrients intact. Less processed food allows for better digestion and nutrient absorption, so your furry friend gets more nutrients with every bite.

The Raw Difference

Unlike traditional, cooked pet foods, raw pet food retains more important antioxidants, amino acids, vitamins and minerals that are key to better health. Feeding as little as 20% raw as part of your pet’s diet can have a positive impact on your pet’s life. Common changes noticed by pet parents who feed raw include better digestion, improved skin and coat, improved weight, relief from food sensitivities, and increased energy and vitality.

What is the shelf life of this product before and after opening? Does it require refrigeration? Im preparing an emergency survival kit for my beagle and need to know if this would be a suitable addition. Thanks!

Answer by Chewy • Aug 12, 2020
This Food Topper does not require refrigeration. Unopened Mixers have a shelf life of two years, keeping in mind not to exceed the printed expiration date. Once opened, Mixers are fresh for up to 30 day as long as it’s resealed between feedings.

My Chewy is on a FreshPet diet and has the tendency to eat grass every now and then when he's outside. I've heard dogs eat grass to calm their tummy. Do you this will stop him from eating grass?

Answer by Chewy • Sep 14, 2019
There are a variety of reasons your dog might be eating grass. It is recommended to consult with your vet to determine the underlying cause and the best treatment.

I got these for Marley is my 15-year-old golden retriever. I started her on a senior multivitamin chew, following the label dosage. Right away her stools became loose. They quickly progressed to frequent, watery, explosive diarrhea. The change was immediate and severe. I will not use this again.

My yr old yorkie is very picky with food, he never rushes to his bowl to see what’s in it, he takes a piece here n there. I started using gut health because his poop was mushy and sometimes diarrhea. I started this food and at first he wasn’t even trying it (i think he knew it might upset his belly) but after a few days trying to get him to at least try it he finally did, now he goes to his bowl and picks on a few in the morning/ afternoon but dinner he will finish his meal and his poops have been great and he not waking up at night with belly issues

The freeze dried

There really wasn't any transition between the other kibble to the freeze dried + kibble. Sasha ate it with no problem at all.

for the price I thought these girls would wolf their food down and beg for more. oh well. But they do like the Stella and Chewy Maries Magical Bacon Dust and the Meal Mixers. Someone needs to come with flavors that smell like human food (like when I cook burgers or bacon and they stand around waiting for a snack).

My dog Rosco likes this as a topper a lot more than I thought he would! It does seem to add digestive benefits when given enough everyday, but he is 55 lbs, so the cost adds up quickly. We will probably look for an alternative.
