what is the carbohydrate percentage of this dry food?
Answer by • Mar 10, 2021
This recipe contains approximately 12.0% Carbohydrates on an As-Fed basis.
How is this food considered raw? Is it entirely freeze dried, partially, slow cooked under temperature. What exactly do you mean by the word raw? Cat dry
Answer by • Nov 09, 2017
Instinct uses a "High Pressurization Process". HPP preserves food products using high pressure. This particular process uses water pressures 5x greater than pressure found at the bottom of the ocean. HPP is also recognized by the USDA as an anti-pathogen treatment since harmful bacteria (i,e: Salmonella, E. coli, Listeria) are not able to survive in high pressure environments. Also, this has no effect of taste, nutritional value, vitamins, minerals or enzymes. Afterwards, the food is then freeze-dried.
Hi! How many cups of food per bag?
Answer by • Jan 17, 2019
The 1.8 pound bag contains approximately 7.2 cups, the 4 pound bag contains approximately 16 cups and the 10 pound bag contains approximately 40 cups.
