Frozen raw foods require careful storage and thawing conditions in the freezer or refrigerator to remain safe for consumption. Make sure you have sufficient space and capacity available.
Instinct Foods offers an assortment of raw frozen bite and patty foods using high-pressure pasteurization partnership to ensure safe consumption, and features a rainbow of fruits and veggies in its selections.

Freeze-Dried Meals
Freeze-dried foods are created by extracting as much moisture from food products using sublimation. This freeze-drying method keeps color, flavor and texture intact while quickly rehydrating in 5-10 minutes when added to hot water.
Freeze-dried meals are popular with backpackers as they do not require additional water for preparation.
Freeze-dried meals contain ingredients like eggs, meat, veggies and fruits that would spoil if not frozen or dried – including eggs, meat, veggies and fruits that may otherwise perish quickly without freezing/drying. These nutrient-dense meals can serve either as your dog’s sole diet or be added as supplements to an existing raw diet such as Instinct Raw Boost Mixers that include cage-free turkey as well as functional ingredients such as turmeric to aid mobility as well as valerian root and passion flower for calm behavior.
Mixers
Similar to having fruit juice on hand, having mixers on hand is also useful. These freeze-dried raw food toppings are easily mixed into any raw or kibble diet plan and should always be available – much like fruit juice!
These food supplements can be an ideal solution for pet parents not yet ready to transition entirely to raw diets or simply wanting to add additional raw proteins into their pet’s diet, with options suitable for both cats and dogs available on the market.
Instinct Boost Mixers are rich in both fiber and live, natural probiotics. Made in the US with cage-free chicken and no grains such as corn, wheat or soy – no artificial preservatives!
Mission Pet Nutrition’s aim is to enrich pets’ lives with more raw nutrition in every bowl – their kibble/raw blends and mixes, frozen meals and treats are manufactured locally in Lincoln, Nebraska and are key components in making that possible.
Limited Ingredient Diets
If your furry friend suffers from food sensitivities, a limited ingredient diet could provide relief. With only certain key ingredients used to provide nutrition to them, this type of diet ensures they get what they need without triggering symptoms that could make life miserable for their owners.
Recipes created specifically to combat food allergies often feature poultry other than chicken (such as turkey or duck), ruminant meats such as lamb or bison, salmon or pollock fish or plant-based proteins like peas, sweet potatoes or oats as proteins source. Some foods even use hydrolyzed protein – breaking apart allergenic molecules so the body no longer recognizes and reacts against them – for added benefit.
An easier ingredient list often leads to improved digestibility for pets, making simplified diets an excellent choice. Just be sure that any food has the AAFCO seal of approval so it contains all of the vitamins and minerals your pet requires at various life stages. AAFCO-approved foods have been specially developed to meet these nutritional requirements.
Grain-Free
Instinct’s grain-free meals offer an ideal solution for anyone searching for high quality and nutritional meals without grains. Grains come from cereal grasses like wheat, rice, oats, cornmeal or barley; while pseudo-grains such as buckwheat quinoa millet amaranth and amaranth may also fall under this classification.
Raw boost dry food from this brand offers a great way to introduce raw nutrition without having to switch your pet over completely. This innovative offering from them combines high-protein kibble with bites of freeze-dried raw meat for an introduction into raw nutrition without needing to fully switch their diet over.
Instinct raw food options have been specially tailored to address specific health needs or conditions, including skin and coat health, digestion and immunity. Furthermore, several recipes meet AAFCO nutrient profiles for growth and maintenance.
