Ingredient Information

Feeding Instructions

Redefining Fresh Food For Pets

Instinct Fresh Raw Meals is a first-of-its-kind premium pet food made with real, whole-food ingredients you can see and raw nutrition you can trust. These protein-packed recipes deliver unmatched flavor and health benefits in every bowl.

100% Fresh, 0% Compromise 

Made with responsibly sourced, antibiotic and hormone-free meat as the #1 ingredient and non-GMO fruits and vegetables, these recipes are 100% raw to preserve pure nutrients and natural flavor. Frozen at peak freshness and cold-pressured for safety.

Minimally Processed, Never Cooked

Eating a diet rich in minimally processed foods is good for pets. Less processed food allows for better digestion and nutrient absorption, so your furry friend gets more nutrients with every bite. No cheap fillers here—just real ingredients you can see.

Nothing Is Fresher Than Raw

Raw pet food retains more antioxidants, amino acids, vitamins and minerals that are key to better health. Feeding your pet as little as 20% raw can promote improved digestion, skin and coat, sensitivity relief, healthy weight, and increased energy.

About Instinct

After observing how a raw, meat-based diet transformed the health of tigers at the Lincoln Children’s Zoo, Instinct’s founder had a hunch that a raw diet could help dogs and cats, too. Since 2002, Instinct has pioneered raw food for the benefit of pets.

Can I heat this up a little in the microwave to take the chill off after thawing it out overnight?

Answer by ChewyJan 16, 2026
It is not recommended to microwave Instinct FreshRaw Meals Grain-Free Grass-Fed Lamb Recipe Dog Food, as the benefit of feeding the raw food is that the protein is unchanged by heat and microwaving could affect the nutrients of the raw food.

This was my first experience feeding raw foods to my boys and it’s safe to say it will not be the last. The individual food packages store/stack nicely in the freezer, thaw quickly, are unchallenging to open, and the food is easy to portion out. It’s also made in the USA with responsibly sourced and clean ingredients, which is a huge bonus. No fillers or junk, just real meat and produce you can actually see. No weird textures or smells, at least not detectable to humans. My dogs could smell the difference though and went absolutely crazy for it. I used this as a mix-in with their normal dry kibble. They both ate it all and licked their bowls clean at each feeding…frenzy. It's safe to say they both really enjoyed it!

My Princess Rose loves this RAW dry "cereal" and I could not be more happy that she does. She is a very picky eater and finding a food she likes AND that is good for her is a chore. I am happy to announce that it is Instinct RAW for the win for both dry and "frozen"! Yaaay!

Quality Ingredients and Wagging Tails

I’ve never ordered fresh food products before because I worry about the quality during shipping, but this arrived perfectly packaged and still frozen solid. I thawed

I’ve never ordered fresh food products before because I worry about the quality during shipping, but this arrived perfectly packaged and still frozen solid. I thawed one package overnight in the fridge and served it the next morning as a topper. Right away I could see how full of fresh, wholesome ingredients it was — no corn, wheat, or soy. I have three dogs, including one who is extremely picky and usually needs coaxing to eat. To my surprise, she waited by her bowl and then gobbled it up without hesitation. Afterwards, she came to me wagging, kissing, and “smiling” like she was saying thank you. We’ll definitely keep using this as a topper for our girls!

Good food

When receiving this product, I was worried how it would be shipped since its raw food. However, the packaging was great with plenty of dry ice to keep everything

When receiving this product, I was worried how it would be shipped since its raw food. However, the packaging was great with plenty of dry ice to keep everything frozen. When thawed, the food does not smell bad and my picky terrier LOVED it. I am very impressed with the ingredients but with the packets were resealable or had smaller package options for smaller dogs since the food is only recommended to stay in the fridge for up to 3 days after thawing.

My pets love this quality product! I love the grass fed lamb and non-gmo ingredients, as well as a great grind for all ages of dogs. The product comes quickly and packed well to tolerate the Arizona heat, We have been raw for many years and have large and small dogs. Many raw manufacturers food is too course with chunks of bone. This product has been ideal for our 17 year old maltese with missing teeth. High Quality Product! Good job you.

I really had no idea what to expect from this Raw food. I honestly was a little unsure when I received the box. It came packed in dry ice and the product was totally frozen when it arrived, even on a hot day! I followed the directions and defrosted it in the refrigerator until it was completely defrosted. My dog, Princess is a picky eater, but I got the Lamb flavor. Let me state here, Ive never given her anything but beef or chicken so I was fingers crossed that she wouldn't look at me like I lost my mind when I handed her this bowl of food. But, I cut open the package and the aroma hit me... It was not at all what I was expecting, it smelled GOOD! Most dog food smell awful. This stuff smells amazing. It has actual chunks of meat and vegetables! The package is a bit deceiving, it is PACKED as full as full can be. I was able to give her 3 full bowl fulls from 1 package. I had a full on conversation with her as I was filling her bowl, telling her I had something for her to try and that I hoped she would like, because it was much better for her and would help her to be a healthy, happy girl. Of course she wagged her tail and smiled, (yep, she smiles) and I put the bowl down and she sniffed, looked at me and went to eating! Ms. Princess actually inhaled the food! Ive seen her eat up her dinner pretty quickly when she is hungry, but it was like she had a straw! That food was gone in seconds! I am extremely please with this food for my furball of love. She deserves only the best and I think we have found it.

Didn't like it

He I guess doesn't like it. We bought these at a pet store first and he seemed to like it. One we ordered from here and gave it to him he all of a sudden just sniffed

Dog LOVES this!!!

My 4 year old herding mix loves this fresh food. The first time I got it out and opened a pack, she would not stop staring at me with the food. Every time I’ve put

My 4 year old herding mix loves this fresh food. The first time I got it out and opened a pack, she would not stop staring at me with the food. Every time I’ve put this in her bowl, the entire bowl has been licked completely clean within 5-10 minutes. I hate to say it, but one of the times I opened a pack of this food, I actually thought it smelled pretty tasty 😂. If you’re looking to start your pet on a fresh food diet I’d 100% recommend this.

My dog goes crazy for this! So I was gifted the sampler of all the flavors to try! Let me tell you my dog went crazy for it! When I put one of the packs that was lamb she was right there by me sniffing like crazy! She was ready without knowing what exactly she’s getting! It looked fresh and so good! The bowl was clean in seconds! And after the sampler was gone we did went back to get some more!!

My dogs loved this dog food. From a practical standpoint, the convenient packaging was a win. The package was easy to open, not messy to scoop out and took up little space in the trash can. I was pleasantly surprised that was little odor with this food. I would recommend.
