Overview

["This 9.5 oz bag from Instinct's Raw Meals line uses freeze-dried chicken as its core ingredient, formulated as a complete grain-free meal rather than a topper. Nature's Variety, the company behind Instinct, keeps it gluten-free and wheat-free as well.", "Product Benefits point to support for healthy digestion and skin, along with a less-processed positioning compared to traditional kibble. It's labeled for all breed sizes rather than one specific size class.", "At $34.99 for 9.5 oz, it's priced at a premium per ounce, typical for freeze-dried raw food. With 565 reviews averaging 4.5 stars, it earns a solid reputation, though recent purchase volume looks lighter than some of Instinct's other freeze-dried sizes."]

Performance notes

Because this is a freeze-dried raw meal rather than a kibble, it's built around less processing, which Instinct frames as a benefit for digestion and skin health, though it typically calls for rehydration before serving depending on how you choose to feed it.
