Nature's Variety Raw Frozen Diets are meant to mirror what dogs and cats would eat in the wild. Instinct Raw Frozen products consists of 95% meat, organs, bones & fat and 5% fruits and vegetables. They are completely grain and gluten free. Instinct Raw requires no mixing or measuring, and certainly no cooking! It is available in a wide variety of proteins to provide a variety of healthy choices.

• Grains and gluten may contribute to pet allergies. By eliminating these from Instinct Raw Frozen Diets, the chance for allergic reaction is reduced.
• A diet consisting primarily of raw meat, organs, bone, and fat reflects what your pet would eat in the natural habitat.
• Pet health improvements may include freedom from allergies, increased energy, weight management, improved skin and coat, and less backyard cleanup.
• The fruits and vegetables provide beneficial vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that promote health and well-being.
• Nature's Variety takes extra care to ensure that the Instinct Raw Frozen Diets are free of pathogenic bacteria. They utilize a state-of-the-art manufacturing process called High Pressure Processing (HPP). In essence, HPP uses water pressure to kill harmful bacteria. They also enforce a strict "test and hold" protocol to ensure that all Raw Diets leaving their facilities are free of harmful bacteria like Salmonella and E. Coli.
• Instinct Raw Frozen Diets include ground bones in the proper proportion that your dog and cat would have enjoyed in the wild. Raw bone is an excellent source of minerals, essential fatty acids, proteins, and enzymes. They are also a balanced source of calcium and phosphorus, and a natural source of chondroitin for joint health.
• Nature's Variety Instinct Raw Frozen Diets provide complete and balanced nutrition for dogs and cats, all life stages and all breeds.

Serving Instructions:
Instinct Raw Frozen Diets are convenient and ready to serve without the need for mixing or measuring.

1. Bites do not have to be defrosted and can be scooped directly from the bag. Looks & serves just like kibble!
2. Keep raw medallions/patties/chubs frozen until ready to defrost.
3. Defrost your pet's daily portion by thawing it in a covered container in the refrigerator. (Medallions take about 4-6 hours to defrost in the refrigerator, while patties and chubs may require 8 to 10 hours.)
4. Serve thawed medallions/patties/chubs in your pet's stainless steel dish. Food should still be cold to the touch when served.

Serving Tip: Instinct Raw can be served alone or mixed with any Nature's Variety Kibble.

Frozen products are shipped in insulated coolers filled with dry ice.
