Excellent alternative to making my own raw food
By Ellasboys on Feb 14, 2021
Our two 6 month old kittens absolutely love the frozen raw pellets! We've been feeding them Wellness wet food and Instinct freeze dried pellets with great success. However after reading about the health benefits of feeding a raw diet, I looked into switching their diets but unfortunately found it to be a huge commitment that we just aren't able to currently handle with our schedules and refrigeration space (we live in an apt that only has a half size refrigerator for two adults.) So when I discovered the frozen raw food from Instinct, I was really excited to see if our boys would take to it. No coaxing needed, they devoured the raw pellts instantly!

So when I discovered the frozen raw food from Instinct, I was really excited to see if our boys would take to it. No coaxing needed, they devoured the raw pellts instantly! For feeding, I take the desired amount out of the freezer and place on paper plate to thaw for several minutes before feeding. The paper plates allow for less clean up and sanitation worries because raw food has the potential to cause some pretty funky gut problems if you don't properly clean and sanitize feeding bowls/surfaces. We still incorporate a mix of wet and freeze dried food into their diet as their caloric needs are still quite high because they are kittens but do plan to transition to just the raw pellets once they're done growing. … more

My cat is much healthier.
By Kenny on Jan 27, 2021
I highly recommend getting all your animals on a raw diet. When I fed my cat kibble, he used to have a hard time breathing, severe dandruff, and had zero energy. I purchased Instinct's Raw Signature rabbit recipe at my local pet store because it was the only raw food they had. I thawed it and presented it to my cat who refused to eat it. I realized I had to slowly introduce it to him by mixing it with his kibble every day. I've been feeding him this raw diet for about a month now and I have noticed improvement in his mood and energy. Although it costs me more than dry food, I think it's worth it. The only downside is that one bag will last him about 4 days and I have to buy so many bags at I highly recommend getting all your animals on a raw diet.

The cats won’t touch it
By JeanneQ on Jan 21, 2021
I was wanting to add some raw chicken to their diet, but none of my three cats will touch this. I even tried mixing the nuggets with a gravy-heavy canned food and they ate around the nuggets. I’ve tried letting the nuggets get to room temp before serving, still no-go. The only thing left to try is throwing them in a blender with some canned food and hope they don’t notice.

A life saver
By Jam78155 on Jan 11, 2021
14 yr old cat had a 4 lb weight loss vet said cancer and needed to increase weight. Instinct Raw food was introduced to our cat's diet. Within in 1 month weight back to normal and cat was playful. It was hard to find the food, but Chewy had it and they delivered it. So thankful for Instinct Raw and Chewy

Not what I expected
By Fran on Jan 4, 2021
Although I am sure this is a quality product, it is not what I expected because the consistency once thawed was mushy. I expected it to have the consistency of raw chicken. My cat loves raw chicken but did not like the Raw Bits chicken recipe cat food.

Good food choice
By Squeekiesmom on Jan 31, 2021
My guy loves this frozen food. First time ordering this and I will continue to order this each month. I just take about 10 pieces and microwave for about 20 sec until thawed.

Nope, not ever
By Kittygirl on Feb 17, 2021
My cats would not touch this food. Even the stray cats would not eat it. Looks really bad if you let it sit out for more than an hour or so.

My cats liked it so I do too
By Carter on Jan 5, 2021
Like the title says, my two cats enjoy this food and it's always gone by the end of breakfast. I have been adding it to a mix of dry & wet food to start. This has helped them adjust to the new food as well.

Convenient and high quality
By Lacy on Oct 23, 2020
My cats have been eating this as their main food for months. It’s easy to measure and serve. It’s more affordable than high-quality canned food and is even better for the cats, so why not give them something good? As a side benefit, the litter box isn’t so bad when the cats are eating good raw food like this. So glad I can order it through chewy now. The pet store would sometimes only have one or two bags in stock and also that meant a trip across town. I received my order from Chewy the next day after I ordered, with plenty of dry ice! So impressed. Now I can just autoship it and keep life simple!

My kittens love it!
By JoJo on Oct 27, 2020
I adopted two kittens from the animal welfare league and they are on a strict, no dry food diet. They eat raw and canned food only. They love this food. Unfortunately Chewy was not able to fill my last order and I am almost out of what we currently have. I will have to try to go to a local place to find something similar as I am trying to transition my three older females over to a no dry food diet as well. They love their kibble, so, it has been a bit of a struggle to get them just to eat a "higher" quality canned food.
