About Instinct Raw Boost Shakers for Cats

Add Mealtime Excitement

Available in cage-free chicken, all-natural beef, and functional gut health recipes, these freeze-dried raw powders help you add the mealtime excitement and variety your kitty craves. Coat every bite with Instinct Raw Boost Shakers—simply sprinkle the powder on top of your cat’s meal or mix with water to make a tasty gravy. Picky eater approved!

Coat Every Bite with Freeze-Dried Raw

Instinct Raw Boost Shakers are nutrient-dense, grain-free powders that are packed with protein and made with real meat, fruits, and vegetables. Whether used as a flavor-boosting sprinkle on top of your cat’s regular food or mixed with water for a tasty gravy, they’re sure to bring new excitement to every meal.

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. Made with responsibly sourced meat and non-GMO fruits and vegetables, Instinct raw recipes are minimally processed—and never cooked—to keep their nutrients intact. Less processed food allows better digestion and nutrient absorption, so your furry friend gets more nutrients in 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 helping your pet live a healthier life. 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.

Is this generally considered high or low in phosphorus?

For Instinct treats/toppers, the manufacturer does not guarantee any nutritional information outside the protein, fat, fiber, and moisture levels published in their Guaranteed Analysis because they are not formulated as complete and balanced diets.

Bought for my friend's senior marmalade cat Leo. Lately he hasn't been finishing his wet food and my friend was concerned about his weight and the wasted food. Because I had good results with freeze-dried raw food toppers for my cat Sonya, sent the Shakers Chicken for Leo's meals. Leo's person reported that on the first try, he licked the bowl clean.

Waste of Money.. Rejected in seconds. Don't waste your money or time.

Waste Waste Waste.. Rejected in 5 seconds flat Don't waste your money or time. I have 2 cats with stage 4 and stage 2 kidney disease. Vets and prescription food cost are out of control and now I feel totally ripped off just trying to help them enjoy their food but instead I got junk. I'm surprised Chewy is even allowing this to be sold on their website. I hope Chewy which I love" is not lowering their standards. This is A TOTAL FAIL.

Chloe’s dry food is the Natural Instincts Raw pellets. This topper is the same brand. I sprinkle a little on the side of her wet food and she loves it. I feel good giving it it to her because it’s healthy. I completely trust the Natural Instincts Raw food brand. We’ve given it to her since she was a kitten. She is 12 1/2 now.

She like this a little better.

I sprinkled some on her wet food and she still ate it (mostly) but will not touch it if I make it into a stand alone gravy.

Good, but expensive for what it is

I got this because it was on a good Black Friday deal, but there’s much more affordable options to make your cats food more enticing.

Nice!

Much better than the meatball sized version. The powdered shaker is a hit, especially with the cat that has dental pain. YUMMY

Ease

It was very easy to use and phantom loved it at first. Now he won’t go near it. Don’t know if it’s the product or him. I really was hoping I could get him to start

It was very easy to use and phantom loved it at first. Now he won’t go near it. Don’t know if it’s the product or him. I really was hoping I could get him to start eating more protein, but not sure that this is the right answer.

Blends well with food

It's too dry to use as a topping, but mixes into canned cat food very well. My cat likes the flavor.

My old man loves it!

My 16 year old cat doesn’t eat a lot anymore, so I was trying to find ways to jazz up his food to make it more exciting for him. He loves this stuff. I sprinkle about a tablespoon on the top of his Nulo kibble twice a day and he’s eating full meals again. Hopefully we start seeing a bit of weight gain with his renewed appetite.
