Our take on the Instinct Freeze Dried Raw Meals Grain Free Real

Instinct Freeze Dried Raw Meals is a grain-free dog food made from raw chicken, beef or salmon that has been freeze-dried into light, shelf-stable pieces. It works as a complete meal when rehydrated with water, or as a topper and training treat straight from the bag. The raw format and short ingredient list appeal to owners who want high meat content without refrigeration, but it costs far more per serving than kibble and some dogs need a slow transition. Reviewers generally report eager eating and smaller, firmer stools, while the main complaints are the price and the smell of the raw pieces.

Questions and answers

Is this a complete meal or a topper?
It is formulated as a complete meal when rehydrated with the recommended amount of warm water. Many owners also use it as a topper or treat straight from the bag.
Does it need refrigeration?
No. Freeze-drying makes the pieces shelf-stable, so the bag can be stored in a cupboard. Keep it sealed and dry after opening.
How do I switch my dog to it?
Mix a small amount with the current food and increase it over about a week. A slow transition reduces the chance of loose stools.
Is it suitable for puppies?
This line is made for adult dogs. Puppies and pregnant or nursing dogs should use a formula labeled for growth.
Which protein should I choose?
Chicken is the mildest and most common choice. Beef and salmon suit dogs that have done well on those proteins before.
How much do I feed?
Follow the weight-based chart on the bag and adjust for activity. Rehydrate with roughly the stated water amount so the meal is fully moistened.
