We feed: kibble, raw, freeze dried meal toppers
Meal toppers: instict's freeze dried meal toppers & treats, we also reccomend instict's shakers.
Can you use these as training treats?
Yes you can! We find its a healthy alternative to treats especially with treat positive training, and a great way to keep your pup in shape!
Why do we reccomend instict's freeze dried meal toppers?
Appealing to picky eaters: Many puppy owners report that the toppers are highly palatable and help make dry food more exciting for their pets.
Added nutrition: They can boost the nutritional value of a meal with real meat, organs, and non-GMO vegetables, providing a more complete nutritional profile.
Convenience: They are a shelf-stable and convenient way to add raw food benefits to a diet.
Minimally processed: The freeze-drying process locks in nutrients, and the products are minimally processed and never cooked, which preserves the natural flavor and nutrient profile of the ingredients.
To ensure we are being honest and transparent with you about all companies we reccomend, we will note we will not reccomend insticts raw food due to high controversy involving it.
