How to Use

Daily Feeding Guidelines

Directions For Use

• Rehydrate: Add the recommended amount of water or broth to the dry food, blend, stir, and serve in approximately 60 seconds.
• Serve Dry or Rehydrated: Can also be served dry directly from the bag like kibble without adding any liquid.
• Transitioning: Always introduce a new food over a period of 5 to 7 days, mixing increasing amounts while decreasing the current food each day.
• Divide Feedings: Divide the daily amount by the number of feedings per day for best results.
• Fresh Water: Always provide access to clean, fresh water at all times.
• Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Keep the bag sealed between feedings to maintain freshness.

Additional Information

Precautions

• Transition Slowly: Always introduce new food gradually over 5 to 7 days to avoid digestive upset, particularly for dogs new to raw or freeze-dried diets.
• Contains Salmon Oil: This recipe includes salmon oil; dogs with known fish sensitivities should be monitored when first introduced and a veterinarian consulted if needed.
• Handling: As with all raw food products, wash hands and bowls before and after serving to maintain proper food hygiene throughout.
• Storage: Keep the bag sealed between feedings and stored in a cool, dry place to preserve the freshness and quality of the freeze-dried raw ingredients.
• Feeding Amounts: Ideal feeding amounts vary by age, weight, and activity level — always use the feeding chart as a starting point and adjust portions based on your dog's individual needs.

Possible Side Effects

• Digestive Adjustment: Dogs transitioning from cooked or kibble-based diets to a raw or freeze-dried diet may experience mild digestive changes; gradual introduction over 5 to 7 days helps minimize discomfort.
• Rich Formula: The high fat content from grass-fed beef and organs may be too rich for dogs with sensitive stomachs or a history of pancreatitis; consult your veterinarian before introducing if your dog has digestive sensitivities.
• Overfeeding Risk: Always adjust feeding amounts based on your dog's individual weight, age, and activity level to avoid unintended weight gain over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What makes the Wild Berry Blend different from the Orchard Blend?

Ans: While both recipes feature grass-fed beef as the primary protein, the Wild Berry Blend is distinguished by its purposeful trio of freeze-dried blueberries, strawberries, and cranberries, antioxidant-rich wild berries chosen to support everyday wellness, digestion, and vitality. The Orchard Blend instead features freeze-dried apples and spinach, offering a different fruit-and-green profile.

Q2: How do I prepare this freeze-dried dog food?

Ans: Add the recommended amount of water or broth based on your dog's body weight, blend, stir, and serve in approximately 60 seconds. It can also be served dry, straight from the bag, like kibble, without any rehydration. For extra flavor and hydration, use warm bone broth instead of water.

Q3: What are the nutritional benefits of blueberries, strawberries, and cranberries in this recipe?

Ans: Blueberries are rich in antioxidants and vitamin C, strawberries provide natural fiber and vitamin C, and cranberries are known to support urinary tract health and deliver additional antioxidants. Together, this wild berry blend is purposefully chosen to support everyday wellness, digestion, and vitality in dogs.

Q4: Is this a complete and balanced meal on its own?

Ans: Yes, it is formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for maintenance. It can serve as your dog's complete daily diet, with no need for additional supplementation, and it provides a full profile of vitamins and minerals to support overall daily wellness.

Q5: What type of beef is used, and how is it sourced?

Ans: The recipe uses responsibly sourced grass-fed beef raised without antibiotics or added hormones, along with beef liver, kidney, and spleen for full organ nutrition. These organ meats contribute natural taurine, B vitamins, and essential amino acids that support overall health and lean muscle maintenance.

Q6: What does SafeRaw Technology mean?

Ans: SafeRaw Technology is Instinct's cold-pressuring process that eliminates pathogenic bacteria from raw food without using heat or cooking. The product is also third-party tested for safety, meaning you get the full nutritional benefits of raw food with the added assurance of a rigorously safety-verified product.

Q7: Can I serve this food dry without rehydrating?

Ans: Yes, it can be served dry directly from the bag, making it a convenient option for on-the-go feeding. However, rehydrating with water or warm broth is recommended to add moisture and deliver the soft, fresh-food texture this recipe is designed for, especially for dogs transitioning from wet food.

Q8: Does it contain any grains, legumes, or artificial ingredients?

Ans: No, it is made without grain, corn, wheat, soy, legumes, artificial colors, or preservatives. Only natural, whole-food ingredients, including grass-fed beef, beef organs, real freeze-dried wild berries, and vegetables, are used alongside added vitamins and minerals for complete nutrition.

Q9: How should I transition my dog to this freeze-dried food?

Ans: Always introduce a new food gradually over 5 to 7 days, mixing increasing amounts with your dog's current food while decreasing the old food each day. A slow transition is especially important when moving dogs from cooked or kibble-based diets to raw or freeze-dried formats for the first time.

Q10: How should this product be stored after opening?

Ans: Keep the bag sealed tightly after each use and store in a cool, dry place. No refrigeration is required before opening, making it a pantry-friendly raw food alternative. Proper resealing between feedings preserves the quality, flavor, and nutritional integrity of the freeze-dried raw ingredients throughout the bag's life.
