Healthy & convenient

When transitioning my 3 chihuahuas (a puppy and two 9 year olds) from home cooked/freshpet, I transitioned to freeze dried raw. That went very well but holy… the price! I found that it’s drastically cheaper to buy frozen instead. I don’t need the ability to travel with their food. That’s basically what I was paying for and will repurchase should we travel. They all 3 love this food! A freeze dried bag (20ish oz) lasts us about 2 weeks, for 3 chihuahuas (5, 7, & 14 pounds- I feed the two small ones 1/3 cup and my bigger one 1/2 cup, each day).

Not for my Dog!!

I have spent the past month researching many "Freeze Dried Raw" dog foods. I have tried 5 different manufactures. Unfortunately, INSTIINCT Freeze-Dried Raw Meals Cage-Free Chicken, is the ONLY one that my 4.5-year old Goldendoodle will not touch. He basically attacks all the others, but is not at all interested in INSTINCT. It sounds like a good product, but it's a no go for my dog. Hopefully I can give it to someone that can use it.

Good stuff

Was feeding our almost toothless 16 year old Jack Rat the K9 Natural Freeze Dried chicken food on top of her Dry BilJac food to get her to eat. We also started giving it to her as a treat being she can’t chew dog treats any more. Apparently the K9 Natural is sitting on a boat somewhere as we couldn’t get it any more. The Instinct brand was a recommended substitute and is it ever awesome! It’s not all crumbly and smashed like the K9 and our little dog loves it. Sticking with it and not going back to K9!

Buddy loves it!

We use it as a topper for his ho-hum kibble and he's never late for mealtimes..

Love Luv Wuv

My dog adores this food. I have never seen her so excited over anything as she gets when I serve this up. She will finish everything off her plate just to let me know she is ready for her afternoon freeze-dried. She is seasoned in age and missing several teeth and this food has been a blessing in its softness and ease to chew.

Not what I wanted

Not what I thought I was purchasing. I wanted the frozen food. Can’t seem to find it. Don’t really have much else to say but you are asking for more words than I need to describe it wasn’t what I wanted.

Sharp piece

I bought this for my dogs to use as a topper. When I was crumbling it I felt something sharp, and there was a small piece of something sharp in one of the pieces(maybe not ground enough bone?). Definitely will not be buying again, glad I found the sharp piece instead of one of my dogs.

This is only 9.5 ounces for $21.95

I misread and thought I was getting 9lbs 5ounces for 21.95. While my beagle would eat it, I didn't realize it was only 9.5 ounces and for me it isn't budget friendly. I have fed her Natures Variety Instinct exclusively for several years and she likes their beef raw boost grain-free recipe the best. I have used their rabbit grain free recipe and I thought I was ordering the chicken grain free recipe this time. I will say this about Chewy...they always aim to please. Thank you for your excellent customer service.
