Questions & Answers

13 Customer Questions

Do these need to be refrigerated after opening?

Answer by Chewy • Oct 02, 2019
Freeze-dried Raw Boost Mixers can sit safely on your pantry shelf because the moisture has been removed. 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.

Can these be used as a primary food source?

Answer by Chewy • Jul 15, 2021
This is a topper and is not a complete and balanced meal.

These are labeled to be fed by tablespoons. How many equal a tablespoon?

Answer by Chewy • Oct 29, 2020
There are approximately 8-10 Mixers in a tablespoon.

Can you mix warm water with these for more of a canned food?

Answer by Chewy • Jul 31, 2019
While it is not necessary to add water to this food topper, you may if your pet prefers it that way.

The cats love the Freeze-dry Topper on their crunches.

Both of our cats love these toppers. We started with the rabbit meat, haven't opened the chicken yet. We're using this to replace the treat-toppers we have used,

Both of our cats love these toppers. We started with the rabbit meat, haven't opened the chicken yet. We're using this to replace the treat-toppers we have used, but I feels good to give the kitties something they love that is healthy.

How long it took to get here.

When looking at the tracking route it went back and forth between 2 cities - and, on the other side of the continent. Usually, it arrives amazingly fast. Hopefully

one out of two cats likes it

One of my cats seems to enjoy eating this, though the pieces are too big despite being relatively soft, I end up have to break it into halves before my cat will eat it. Don't think it's doing anything to improve my cat's skin or coat though.

My cat doesn’t like eating wet food, she’s not a fan but when I put these toppers she will sometimes eat it. I have tried different brands of wet foods, I have tried making salmon at home. But she is very picky, this works for her sometimes. All the other cats love it.

A favorite!

Our cat loves these. We use them as treats. They are soft enough to squish in your fingers to easily sprinkle as a topper too. I am not sure if she eats enough

Our cat loves these. We use them as treats. They are soft enough to squish in your fingers to easily sprinkle as a topper too. I am not sure if she eats enough daily to get the benefits to help her coat, but we will see.

Hoping this helps!!

While Daisy loves these added to her food, it's too soon to tell if it will help with her overgrooming.

Best Food For My Cats

My cats are thriving on this food. They had gotten to a point where their old food was not keeping them healthy anymore. They lost weight, hair, and they were throwing

My cats are thriving on this food. They had gotten to a point where their old food was not keeping them healthy anymore. They lost weight, hair, and they were throwing up everywhere. We tried some very expensive brands and nothing worked. Instinct Did!! They are indoor cats and always have been healthy, but that was before the cat food industry started changing their ingredients. Freeze-Dried Raw is definitely the way to go. I feed this same brand to my Havanese pup, and she is thriving as well!

Kitty Loves It

I always bought the instinct chicken flavor for my cat. He loves these freeze dried toppers. I actually feed him enough for a meal because he wants them all throughout

I always bought the instinct chicken flavor for my cat. He loves these freeze dried toppers. I actually feed him enough for a meal because he wants them all throughout the day. He even wakes me up at night to give him some. I have to keep them by my bed. I have four cats, but only two eat these. My other kitty gets them as treats not a meal. I’ve noticed a difference in my kitty since he’s been eating these. He has more energy and he’s more vocal and he’s playing more. He’s nine old. I was starting to get worried about him because he was laying around a lot. I decided to try this brand of the instincts and he likes this one the best. Now he doesn’t want the other one anymore. I wish they would make a bigger bag.
