About Instinct Raw Boost Mixers for Gut Health for Dogs

Tasty Toppers for Targeted Wellness

Add excitement and a boost of nutrition to your dog’s meals with Instinct Raw Boost Mixers. Available in a variety of formulas, these freeze-dried raw pieces combine real meat and organs with functional, whole-food ingredients. Made to support targeted wellness, these mixers can be used as an all-natural meal topper or a healthy treat for your pet.

Supports a Balanced, Healthy Gut

Instinct Raw Boost Mixers for Gut Health are made with nutrient-dense, freeze-dried raw pieces that contain fiber and live, natural probiotics for improved digestive health. Made with cage-free chicken and functional, whole-food ingredients like pumpkin, sweet potato, chicory root, apple cider vinegar and probiotics, they provide an easy way to add raw nutrition to your pet’s diet. Bursting with flavor, they make a great all-natural meal topper or healthy treat.

Minimally Processed and Never Cooked

Eating a diet rich in minimally processed foods is just as good for our pets as it is for us. Instinct raw recipes are made with responsibly sourced meat and non-GMO fruits and vegetables that are minimally processed—and never cooked—to keep their nutrients intact. Less processed food allows for better digestion and nutrient absorption, so your furry friend gets more nutrients with every bite.

The Raw Difference

Unlike traditional, cooked pet foods, raw pet food retains more important antioxidants, amino acids, vitamins and minerals that are key to better health. Feeding as little as 20% raw as part of your pet’s diet can have a positive impact on your pet’s life. Common changes noticed by pet parents who feed raw include better digestion, improved skin and coat, improved weight, relief from food sensitivities, and increased energy and vitality.

Questions & Answers

How much should I feed if I just want to add some protein to a dry food mix? My Siberian pup is 30# at almost 6 mo. How long would the 5.5 oz bag last of Instinct Raw boost Mixer last if I fed 1/2 cup per day?

Answer by Chewy • Dec 17, 2018
There are 20 servings per 5.5 ounce bag. Add Instinct Raw Boost Mixers to your dog’s current food using the information below. Remember to reduce the calorie amount of your current food accordingly to avoid overfeeding. If you're unsure about how many calories your pet should have daily, we recommend reaching out to your veterinarian.

What is the shelf life of this product before and after opening? Does it require refrigeration? Im preparing an emergency survival kit for my beagle and need to know if this would be a suitable addition. Thanks!

Answer by Chewy • Aug 12, 2020
This Food Topper does not require refrigeration. Unopened Mixers have a shelf life of two years, keeping in mind not to exceed the printed expiration date. Once opened, Mixers are fresh for up to 30 day as long as it’s resealed between feedings.

My Chewy is on a FreshPet diet and has the tendency to eat grass every now and then when he's outside. I've heard dogs eat grass to calm their tummy. Do you this will stop him from eating grass?

Answer by Chewy • Sep 14, 2019
There are a variety of reasons your dog might be eating grass. It is recommended to consult with your vet to determine the underlying cause and the best treatment.

HOW MANY CALORIES IS EACH PIECE

Answer by Chewy • May 16, 2019
All varieties of our Raw Boost Mixers are under 2 calories, per piece.

for the price I thought these girls would wolf their food down and beg for more. oh well. But they do like the Stella and Chewy Maries Magical Bacon Dust and the Meal Mixers. Someone needs to come with flavors that smell like human food (like when I cook burgers or bacon and they stand around waiting for a snack).

Our 80-pound mostly pit bull mix started having digestive issues., which were greatly improved by a switch to a reasonably priced sensitive stomach food. Then, after a year on that, Elly wasn't as interested in eating that food. In hopes of keeping her on that food, we added just a few of these Instinct Gut Health toppers. Success! Now she sniffs out the pieces of Instinct and eats them first. Then she devours the rest of her meal, and has no digestive issues.

The dogs love this stuff on top of the food. But you get more bang for your buck if you find the crumbled shaker canister. Same price and it lasts longer and can really coat the food. Not found on Chewy yet as far as I have looked. Only at the pet store.

This has been my saving grace for years. I have a dog with sensitive stomach. At the drop of a hat we are dealing with gastritis. I add these to her meal giving her about 6 to 7 crushed up. We have gone from gastritis a couple times a year to once maybe a year. Big change. Love the simple ingredients.

This is product that you use to “top” or enhance the regular kibble. It was very useful because my 3 dogs loved it and I got to use it when my beloved dog was battling Osteosarcoma and did not wanted to eat her regular diet. Sadly, she passed away last week. My other dogs are enjoying the Instinct product. It helps to get them to eat during this difficult time. It is a superb product. It smells and looks very tasty. Thank you for this opportunity.
