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.
I've been giving this to my 6 year old cat for a while. He's not picky on food and was immediately excited for this topper. He whines for it like he does for his wet food lol. Now I bought this because he sheds so much. Regardless of the time of year, regardless of anything you could pull and pull and pull tufts of fur out effortlessly by petting him, brush him for eons it never made anything better. And he's not a long hair he's a short hair tabby. I've seen a total difference between excess shed and appropriate shedding. Placebo? I mean, maybe but we've been using the food for about 2 weeks now and either way I can tell he's enjoying it and I have seen a difference.

My two boys love these
I give each cat 4 nuggets per day. 2 in the morning, 2 in the evening. They LOVE them as treats, no need to mix them in with food.
While they love the taste, I love that they are a great source of protein & their fur feels softer and shinier. I also noticed the high fiber content of these treats - Which is actually great, because one of my boys has awful hairball issues. Since starting giving these twice a day, literally NO hairballs for going on two months now! (A small caveat is I feed hairball food & treats, but what literally makes them "hairball" is the fiber is higher... These are twice as much fiber and from great sources like pumpkin & flax seeds, not cellulose or something similar)

Don't know what to say
I gave these 5 stars, because they might be great, but our cat says no. I'll try giving them to the feral cat that hangs out near our house (he will not come inside and yes, he has a warm house with a heated pad) and see if he likes them.

Another winner
These Instinct products are loved by my big boy. This is the second type I have gotten for him and he loves them as well as the ones for digestive health. I have seen improvement in his coat for sure. I would recommend these to anyone for their kitters!

Good idea
My cat has some sensitive skin and dry skin so I wanted to get a food topper that would help with this. my cat would not eat these at all even when mixed in with his food which was frustrating.

Cats won't touch them but.....
I ordered these since both of my cats have dry skin in the winter time. Oreo my fat cat will just play with them and Elvira just trys up her nose to them. So with that being said it was a waste of money, for me. But, the dog will eat almost anything so I put them in her bowl as toppers and she loves them.

Great nutritional balance!!
Im a daily user of this and my cat is better off for it! It breaks down easily to become wet food if needed!

She likes it!
My kitten is VERY PICKY and it's hard to find anything that she will eat. I ordered this like I do everything... hoping the outside strays don't end up eating it! But, she likes them! Like everything, she only eats a few pieces at a time... But, SHE EATS THEM! Those are the key words! and, I know she is getting a healthy treat.

Great intro into raw food!
Both of my cats are obsessed with these! I usually just toss them out as treats and one of my cats will literally drag the bag over to me to get some. My other cat is super hesitant around most treats, she hates the crunchy kind and will only eat a few bites of a puree treat but even she goes crazy for these treats. I definitely plan on increasing their raw food intake and these are a great start!
