Dogs loved it but much to expensive.

The dogs loved it. Ate it like treats. Unfortunately the bag is small and I can’t afford to keep buying it as there main food. Will probably buy again and use as treats.

Pros
  • Freeze-drying helps to lock in all the nutrients and flavor, providing a satisfying eating experience for your furry friend
Cons
  • Raw food requires thawing and preparation time before serving

My picky Chihuahua mixed breed dog went crazy for this food!

This food works well for a healthy treat or for a nutritious meal. My little Chihuahua has been a picky eater since her adoption over a year ago. This is the first food that she literally inhales! It’s easier for her to eat when I add a little water to it. I mix it with a little bit of the pumpkin healthy digestion topper. I am so very pleased with this purchase!

Pros
  • 6171401
Cons
  • Some dogs may not tolerate the texture of rehydrated food

Pricey, but maybe worth it!

Oh my goodness, I read the ingredients listed on the label,but they did not explain why my dogs are so over the moon about this food.Just to see if they were interested in it, I offered a few pieces to our dogswho immediately dropped into their sit and beg positions.As a straight dog food, I am sure they would be crazy happy to eat this;for me however, I see it as an easy to handle dog training treat.A word to the wise.Do not leave the bag out unprotected, the smell must be very enticing;my…

Pros
  • The freeze-dried raw meals are highly nutritious and easily digestible
Cons
  • May not provide enough variety for dogs with diverse dietary needs

Finally a Food My Picky Eater Likes

My dog is incredibly picky and stubborn, she’ll hold out for treats or scraps. I only give her made in the USA, naturally raised ingredients, I took a look at the options and settled on Instinct Freeze Dried Lamb and she gobbled it up the minute I offered her a few pieces. She likes it and I like how and what it’s made from.

Pros
  • The freeze-dried meals provide excellent convenience, saving you time and effort when it comes to mealtime
Cons
  • The high protein content may not be suitable for dogs with kidney disease

My picky eater likes this

My little terrier mix really likes this. I mix it in with two other kibbles & he cleans his plate! We also use it for a game ("Find It”) and he never misses!

Pros
  • The freeze-dried meals are lightweight and easy to store, making it ideal for traveling with your dog
Cons
  • May not be suitable for dogs with a history of food sensitivities or allergies

Expensive but excellent quality stuff

My dogs have never been so excited about a bag of dog food. They were trying to tear into the delivery box to get at it! This is a small bag and will not last larger dogs or multiple dog households very long, however it works great as a topper, or you can also add water to reconstitute it. The ingredients are wonderful and this is such great quality food! My dogs absolutely love it and have had no issues eating it.

Pros
  • Freeze-Dried
Cons
  • Can be messy to prepare and serve

How Much Chicken Bone?

This review is for the chicken recipe. Each piece looks like a tiny wine cork. For the most part, it seems to have good ingredients. but the first ingredient is listed as "Chicken (Including Ground Chicken Bone)". I'd like to know how much of that is meat and how much is bone. You can add water to it, and it probably eventually absorbs it, but if you add water right before serving, it stays pretty dry inside. One of my furry ones likes it, but the other seems pretty indifferent to it. I mix it…

Pros
  • I even used them as treats for my fussy cavapoo!!!!!Much better quality and evidently flavor too!!
Cons
  • Requires a specific storage method to maintain freshness

Convenient way to feed a raw diet!

My frenchies have been on instinct raw kibble for over a year now and they love it. So happy they came out with a product that doesn’t need freezer! Will definitely travel with this!

Pros
  • The recipe is delicious, ensuring your dog will be excited for mealtime every time
Cons
  • Raw food may not provide enough minerals and vitamins for some dogs

Our dog loves this stuff

Our dog loves this food. He hasn't been this enthusiastic about his food in a long time. It is pricey, so we can't really afford to use it as his main food, but it is definitely something we will be buying to keep on hand as a treat of a meal here and there. He instantly devours this stuff and seems very happy with it. No digestive issues whatsoever.

Pros
  • The Instinct Dog Food recipe uses quality, whole-food ingredients, ensuring your dog eats a well-balanced diet
Cons
  • May not be suitable for dogs with low protein requirements

Great Addition to my Dogs Diet

Great quality product. I would have extreme difficulty getting her to finish her food, but using this as a supplement to mix in, she eats it all right away. It’s freeze dried raw food and came right as expected. Packaging was good and is awesome to have for her. Glad we incorporated this into her diet and I don’t have to go to the store and get it. Quick delivery and comparable prices to those sold in stores.

Pros
  • The Instinct Dog Food recipe offers an alternative to traditional kibble, providing variety to your dog's diet
Cons
  • Can be difficult to store and transport while traveling

Instinct Freeze Dried Raw Meals

Pros
  • Pet Supplies
Cons
  • Raw food requires careful handling to avoid contamination

Instinct make best dog food

Great quality ingredients. Nicely packaged. My 2 Labs just lap in up and you can see the results in their coat. Labs shed fur like crazy. Instinct Raw in my experience, reduces this shedding. I highly recommend to any dog owner.

Pros
  • She loves it i will order again
Cons
  • My dog refused to eat, was not returnable, ended in the garbage

Not for my dogs good for me

My dog just don’t like it. I keep giving it to them mixed in with the kibble. They toss it out of the bowl. I mean my dogs will eat anything, it makes me nervous to give it to them they just don’t like it. I was trying to keep them healthy

Pros
  • My pups loved this food! They gobbled it up. Great for those times when feeding raw is not possible.
Cons
  • Can be messy and difficult to clean up

My doggie loves it on my review.

My dog is such a picky eater This is the only dog food my he will eat without question. I can't even get it out of the Best Buy package before he's sniffing and trying to get to it. I wish it wasn't so expensive but I guess you get what you pay for.

Pros
  • Dehydrated & Freeze-Dried
Cons
  • Raw food requires thawing and rehydration before serving

Why So Expensive? The freeze drying process is not.

Calling this product a meal is a misnomer. It should be labeled as a food topper at the price they charge. I have a Wolfdog and a German Shepherd; two very large dogs. I used to feed them raw, the BARF way. One day, my Wolfdog stopped eating the raw food. He’s very picky. I now buy them frozen human grade, slightly cooked dog food meals that are delivered to my home. My Wolfdog loved it at first. My German Shepherd will eat anything. I decided to try Instinct’s Freeze Dried Raw Food as a…

Pros
  • The formula is high in Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids, supporting a healthy coat and skin
Cons
  • Can be difficult to mix with supplements or medications

Excellent Dog Food: my feedback

Our Layla loved this dog food! She has gotten bored with her meals, until now! She licked the bowl clean every time and had a spring on her step when she heard the bag open at meal time.

Pros
  • The Instinct Dog Food recipe is free from by-products, fillers, and artificial additives, ensuring your dog is eating only the best
Cons
  • May not be suitable for dogs with limited mobility or dental issues

Yorkiepoo loves it best in my review

My almost three-year-old Yorkiepoo is a very picky eater. She loves these and I believe they are good for her. However, I have moved on to something else because of cost.

Pros
  • To replace canned meat. It very fresh and my dog loves it!
Cons
  • Some dogs may not enjoy the taste of raw food
