Ideal feeding amounts will vary by age, weight, and activity level so the guide below should be used as an initial recommendation.

Dog Weight | Adult Maintenance (patties) | Weight Loss (patties) | |
---|---|---|---|
5 - 15 lbs | 1 - 2 | 1/2 - 1 | |
16 - 25 lbs | 2 - 3 | 1 - 2 | |

Handling Tips:
-
Keep frozen until ready to use. Defrost your pet's daily portion by thawing it in a covered container in the refrigerator overnight or for approximately 4 to 6 hours. Patties should be cold to the touch when served.
-
Wash hands, working surfaces, utensils, bowls and any other items that come in contact with raw meat or poultry with hot, soapy water.
-
If your pet does not consume all the food presented within 30 minutes, discard any leftovers.
-
Keep package sealed to maintain freshness.
Always introduce a new food over a period of 5 to 7 days, mixing increasing amounts of Instinct with the current food each day.
Visit the Instinct Pet Food website for more specific feeding recommendations and information on how to easily combine different forms of food.

Instinct's Responsibility as The Raw Brand
LEAD WITH RAW
It all started with Instinct's raw pet food. Since the beginning, they've led with raw because they know the good it can do. They're rewriting the rules of pet food and championing raw nutrition to bring its superior benefits to all that they do.
KEEP IT REAL
Delicious and nutritious pet food should only use real ingredients. For Instinct, this means all-natural, real meat, fruits and vegetables, with nothing artificial.
MAKE IT SIMPLE
Feeding raw should be simple, and it should easily fit into your everyday routine. Instinct believes raw should be accessible to pet parents so every pet can experience the benefits of raw nutrition.
DO IT TOGETHER
Instinct believes in the power of raw nutrition. It only makes sense to share it. Together with local shelters and volunteer efforts nationwide we’re on a mission to transform the lives of all pets.
MAKE IT BETTER
Instinct has never been afraid to challenge the status quo of pet nutrition. They continuously redefine what better means—always pushing their standards of nutrition to raise the bar in pet food.

About Instinct
Instinct believes deeply that it's up to them to find a way to make it possible for more people to feed their pets the pure, real nutrition that only comes from raw. They know that if they can get the nutrition of raw into more bowls, they'll transform the lives of more pets. And that's really why they do what they do.

Dogfood***
By Frozenpatties on Mar 2, 2021
Patties were great But I would really like and be happy and continue to order for two large dogs. Would love you to get the larger patties 12 in a bag Instead of the 24 in a bag Also because the ingredients are better in larger patties

Amazing dog food, but one issue.
By Courtney on Dec 29, 2020
My pup is such a picky eater...if you know the french bulldog/ boston terrier breed, then you know what i'm saying... I ordered this in hopes he'd love it, and he did. Thor gobbled it up when he decided to eat; however, the only issue I have is that my pup doesn't always eat right away (even though his food is thawed and ready). Then the food turns brown or dark brown. Occasionally, I'll place it on the floor still frozen because I know he won't eat it right away. Sometimes, when I come home there's no food left or there is and its that icky brown color. I guess I'm saying, a pack of hamburger lasts longer than the food. Occasionally I'd put it in the fridge overnight and take it out in the My pup is such a picky eater...if you know the french bulldog/ boston terrier breed, then you know what i'm saying...

Occasionally I'd put it in the fridge overnight and take it out in the morning. Sometimes it was brown almost to the dark brown stage as well. Sometimes it wasn't. It seems to be a really hit or miss product and you have to be able to time it perfectly. With my busy schedule it's hard. Personally, I will be attempting to find a different dog food that will work better for me and Thor. Overall, a great dog food, but make sure your dog will eat it right away!! … more

My dog wouldn’t eat this
By Kasey on Feb 23, 2021
My dog likes the instinct frozen raw bites so I tried these patties and she won’t eat it at all. I’m not sure what the difference is. I even cut up the patties for her into little pieces and she refuses to eat it. She’ll sniff her bowl and walk away. :(

Great for picky dogs
By Nicole on Dec 23, 2020
I never write reviews, but wanted to write one for this product. I have a 17lb Cavalier King Charles Spaniel who suddenly stopped eating his kibble when he was round 3 months old. I tried several different brands including different textures of wet food to no avail. I then heard about the raw diet, and we tried a few brands of raw food. He liked each one, but still not enough where I didn't have to coax him to start eating. Instinct is the first food I've found where he happily eats right as I put his bowl on the ground. He's been eating it for the last three months and we've had no issues! His coat is full and shiny, he's hydrated, and he has plenty of energy. The auto ship feature is also great I never write reviews, but wanted to write one for this product.

Simplicity
By Spazzyjazzy on Dec 30, 2020
All the best for your dog and so simple it's worth the price. I've been feeding my dogs raw for years and recently switched to Instinct. No more mixing dehydrated veggies with the raw beef. Just thaw a patty and feed. Dogs clamor for it and with raw there are no more allergies just very healthy fur babies. Not only that, Chewy sends this frozen with dry ice....simplicity at its best.

Better Cooked for Sensitive Stomach
By SpoiledAmStaff1 on Feb 8, 2021
My dog loves these but I have to cook it. She threw up after eating it as is. Stomach is sensative to raw meet. I started cooking then and mixing with some dry food or chicken broth. No issues since then.

No to raw food
By BeckyS on Feb 21, 2021
My 12 year old pekepoo vomited it immediately. Was reluctant to try again. Then we lost the rest of the bag (less one patty) due to ice storm and power outage in Texas.

Can’t get enough
By Momobear44 on Feb 20, 2021

Easy way to feed raw
By ScottieLover on Mar 2, 2021
It took me a day or two to figure out how many patties I needed to thaw for my 3 dogs. I had always used smaller medallions. My dogs love it.

Perfect for an allergy queen sharpei
By MJandAudrey on Oct 29, 2020 Top 25 Contributor
I have an almost 8 year old sharpei who has multiple confirmed allergies. I began feeding this 1 year ago and shes doing amazing! Its honestly a little costly for me, but the result have been worth it. She no longer has yeasty ears or paws. This is a chicken free and grain free food which is exactly what she needed! If you are on the fence about purchasing this, whether as a sole diet or as a topper, I say give it a shot for sure. I also will say, I really like the patty size, it's easy to make a meal, she gets 2 in the morning and 2 at night.
