Questions & Answers

11 Customer Questions


How long do they stay fresh after being defrosted (kept in the fridge)? Can you defrost more than 1 day at a time?

Answer by ChewyJul 23, 2019
It is recommended to 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. If your pet does not consume all the food presented within 30 minutes, discard any leftovers.

CAN this be served alone as a meal?

Answer by ChewyNov 09, 2018
The Frozen Raw Grain-Free Cage-Free Chicken Patties meet AAFCO standards and can be fed as a complete diet to all ages and sizes of dogs, except large breed puppies (puppies that will be 70 pounds or more as an adult).

Can I mix this with kibble 50/50??

Answer by ChewyNov 02, 2022
You can mix Instinct raw and kibble. Add raw as often as you’d like. You don’t have to feed a full raw diet to reap the raw benefits. In fact, studies show that adding as little as 20% raw can reduce the risk of skin allergies. Many pet parents rotate between raw and a kibble-based food or top their pet’s kibble with either frozen or freeze-dried raw. Just remember to be cautious of overfeeding if you are topping a pet’s existing meal with raw.

False advertising on quantity in bag

I'd give this a full 5 out of5 stars because my dogs love them, but on SEVERAL occasions, there have been only 23 patties in a bag, NOT the 24 annotated right on the front of the bag. It's to the point where when I first open a new bag, I have to inventory it and count how many patties are in there. At first I thought I was losing my mind because as the bag was getting empty I'd be short a patty (or two!) when distributiong among my dogs, but nope; Instinct is shorting me. For the price, I expect Instinct to deliver as promised.

My dog has been eating this brand for 10 years. Last 6lb bag went into trash. I’d serve, he wouldn’t eat, I’d throw away. Desperately seeking for better formula

These are okay

My dog eats anything and he seemed to like them but I liked the look of Stella and chewy or Primal better. These were pale and looked freezer burned

I ahve had a love hate relationship with Chewy, product out of stock is my biggest gripe, and when it happened AGAIN for about the 6th time, Chewy stepped up and found a free of charge solution. I did NOT ask for this, they voluntarily offered, and I accepted gratefully. They have more than redeemed themselves. Thanks Chewy...great business ethics!

Switched my dog to these raw chicken patties cause they had 2 different food amounts based on whether dog needs to lose weight or maintain weight. She is on the weight loss amount and appears to be slowly losing weight. Also I wanted the ease of defrosting the smaller patty size. They also arrived in a more biodegradable container than her previous raw food from a different company. She really loves this food and is doing great on it. I also liked the chewy 3-6lb bags in an order option. Great for a big dog like mine.
