Our take on the Instinct freeze dried raw meals grain/cage free chicken recipe dog

Instinct Freeze-Dried Raw Meals is a complete adult dog food made from cage-free chicken, organs and produce, freeze-dried into light, shelf-stable pieces. It is grain-free and needs no refrigeration, so it works as a full meal or a topper. Compared with frozen raw diets it is far easier to store and travel with, but you pay more per meal than for kibble. Reviewers tend to like the simple ingredient list and the convenience; some owners of picky dogs report mixed acceptance.

Questions and answers

Is this a complete meal or only a topper?
It is formulated as a complete adult dog food, so it can be fed alone. Many owners also use it as a topper to boost kibble.
Does it need refrigeration?
No. Freeze-drying makes it shelf-stable; keep the bag sealed and store it in a cool, dry place. Once rehydrated, treat it like fresh food.
Can I feed it to puppies?
It is made for adult dogs. Puppies and pregnant or nursing dogs have different nutrient needs, so ask your vet before using it.
How does it compare with frozen raw?
It offers raw-style ingredients without freezer space or thawing. Frozen raw is often cheaper per meal and higher in moisture.
Should I add water?
You can. Adding warm water softens the pieces and adds moisture, which some owners do for older dogs or picky eaters.
Is it grain-free?
Yes, this chicken recipe contains no grains. Grain-free is not right for every dog, so check with your vet if you are unsure.
