REAL, NATURAL INGREDIENTS

Instinct Raw frozen recipes deliver raw meat, fruits, vegetables and the wholesome ingredients your pet needs, all in a complete and balanced meal. It’s how pet food should be made—with real ingredients you can recognize.

NUTRIENT DENSE 

Raw foods retain more of the natural flavors, valuable antioxidants, amino acids, and vitamins and minerals your pet needs to stay healthy and thrive. Plus, they’re naturally more bioavailable, so the body gets more nutrients it can actually use.

100% COMPLETE AND BALANCED

These Frozen Raw Patties are made with meat and organs, as well as fruits, vegetables, vitamins and minerals.

FROZEN FOR FRESHNESS

Freezing raw helps protect nutrients, preserving them at their peak for maximum freshness.

MADE WITHOUT FILLERS

These recipes are made without grain, corn, wheat, soy, legumes or artificial colors or preservatives.

Questions & Answers

27 Customer Questions


Am I reading correctly that each Patty is 1 ounce? Does that mean that there are 96 patties per bag?

Answer by ChewyMay 08, 2018
Each patty is approximately 4 ounces.

Can this be fed as the entire meal, or should it be included with something else, like kibble?

Answer by ChewySep 28, 2018
This food may be fed as a complete and balanced diet. Instinct® Raw Frozen Patties Natural Beef Recipe is formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for all life stages except for growth of large size dogs (70 lbs or more as an adult).

Does this come with dry ice so it doesn’t thaw out?

Answer by ChewyJul 19, 2020
We package frozen items in an extra-thick insulated box with a bag of dry ice. This ensures the food remains frozen all the way to your door.

How many patties are in a bag?

Answer by ChewyMay 31, 2020
Each 6-pound bag contains 24 delicious 4-ounce patties.

Shepherd happy with this product

Not sure why it's asking me to review the 18lb bundle when I purchased the 6lb bag, but our finicky shepherd is happy with the beef variety, and she's not had any allergy flare ups. I wish Instinct still sold the these patties in the 8oz size, since I need to feed 2 smaller patties a day with her other food. Calorie count is less than other frozen patties, but I would purchase again when on sale.

We had a recent delivery on our raw instinct, dog food, which we get every two weeks on subscription and when the last batch was delivered, the box itself seemed to be ok but inside the contents must’ve been thrashed about a little bit as the bags are and broken with dog food all over the interior and mixed with the dryice. I took a picture and sent it to chewy and the next day they sent another batch of food for us at no charge. Customer at finest, thank you chewy!

I bought the 3-package bundle, and one bag was received with a large hole in the side. Some of the dry ice bags were also punctured and I’m not sure if it’s even safe to use the bag that was ripped.

Highest Quality Raw On The Market

This food never misses for us. Instinct is as close to WSAVA compliant as any commercial raw company has come and my dogs love it and do well on it. We've been leery with all the Avian Flu issues, but this is one of the few brands we've always been able to trust. Chewy also did a great job with packaging. I got home late on an especially hot day and there's no shade cover on my porch. Everything was still frozen solid! As always, good stools, good weight on my hard keeper, and nice coats all around.

Bandit loves the food, but he eats anything. But after a while his coat became dull and he developed an odd cough. I started adding olive oil to his food which helped his coat but I didn’t feel that was enough. We switched back to Stella and Cheey Lamb.
