Why add Instinct Raw Boost Mixers at mealtime
Instinct Raw Boost Mixers come in four flavors, beef, turkey, chicken, and lamb. They are natural, gluten free, and grain free. What are the benefits of adding raw to your dog’s diet?
- Pure animal protein for lean muscles and strong bones
- Natural ingredients for optimal nutrient absorption
- Nutritious oils for healthy skin and coat
- Improve your dog’s digestion naturally
Where to find Instinct Raw Boost Mixers
I headed over to my local PetSmart to purchase my Instinct Raw Boost Mixers, but they are also available online at PetSmart.com. The mixers are available in one ounce trial sized bags, six, and fourteen ounce bags. The trial sized bags are $1.99 each, or three for $5, and the large bags are on sale at 20% off through the end of January.
Being a scent hound, I had no trouble sniffing out the Instinct brand section of the store, but even humans can find it easily. It is a good sized section and also has a freezer case. The Instinct Raw Boost Mixers were up pretty high at my store, so I had to be in the cart to reach them.
How to feed Instinct Raw Boost Mixers at mealtime
I have some sample bags of Instinct Raw Boost Mixers in beef and chicken flavor, so I decided to buy a bag of lamb at the store. Simply add the Raw Boost Mixers to your dog’s current food either as a topper or mix it in. The feeding instructions are on the back of every package. A dog my size needs about 1/4 cup per meal. There is no need to add water, your dog will just eat the freeze dried raw as is.
Why are we interested in Instinct Raw Food Mixers
Every dog dreams of a raw diet, but many pet parents are not ready for that commitment as it can be expensive, and a lot of work. Instinct Raw Boost Mixers are the perfect way to add freeze dried raw to our regular kibble at mealtime. It is not a complete raw diet, but it is all natural, freeze dried raw nutrition in a convenient and easy to serve form. I am testing Instinct Raw Boost Mixers out this month and will get back to you in about two weeks to let you know how I like it! Do you think your dog would enjoy having freeze dried raw added to their meals?

I like the idea and we will look if we can find it somewehere online, I think it’s absolutely worth a try :o)
It is good stuff and healthy. It can be used as treats in between meals too.
You look so pretty in all the pictures. Maybe the mom will look for me on Thursday as I a have a hair appointment at the other “Pet- -” store. XOXO Sparkle the PBGV
Oh dear, the “other” pet store! It is really tasty. I’ll be sharing my taste thoughts in two weeks.
You better watch out Emma, some customer might come by and buy you up. Cute post!
Oh no! That would be a terrible thing because I’m very attached to my mom. I think I would howl so much they would put me back!
we have tried those and found them to be very good too
Super tasty and super healthy!
Wait…you completely glossed over the most important part of this post. How high is the shelf in that first photo and how did you get up there!?
It’s about 4 feet or so high, and I had some assistance to get up there. I’m short, so I always need help.
Tasty!
Lily & Edward
Sure is!
What a great shopping trip!

Thanks, it was a fun excursion.
Your shopping and reviews are as much fun as your cooking shows!
I tend to be pretty fun almost all the time. No dry and boring old Emma here.
We make a perfect couple because we are so in sync! I wish we could enjoy shopping at PetSmart for Instinct Raw Boost Mixers together. I love to #mixitup ♥ Hmmm…could this be a future date night?
Meet you at 7pm, Friday night Instinct aisle, 4th shelf up. You can have the beef, I have the lamb and we can #mixitup!
EMMA you are making us DROOL here… What time is SUPPER?
We generally have dinner around 5, shall I set out a bowl for you boys?
Emma, you really got around in the store there…in the shopping cart, up on the shelf…it’s a good thing you’re not any bigger! 🙂
We got a bag of these from chewy to try…lamb, and we have our review going up tomorrow. Suffice it to say the dogs love it, and I think it’s a great way to add a little something to the plain old kibble.
We love the raw addition. I am a slow eater and I pick out all the raw pieces first to eat and then get on with the regular kibble. Mom always calls me tiny because she is used to big dogs, and she says she could never have a dog smaller than I am, but she still enjoys being able to do small dog things with me.
Emma is a lovely shopper! It looks like she made careful selections. Liam turned into a bit of a wild man during our shopping spree, so we had to stop in the toy aisle. He might need a tutorial from Emma!

LOL! I’ve never been wild in a store before! I’m pretty mellow all the time and just let my photographer boss me around while we are shopping.
I may try this. I need to get bj to eat.
It helps us get my senior sister to eat. She loves the raw pieces in her food. So do we all, though.
woo woo
That sounds like great stuff! The girls would probably really like it!
I’m sure they would and it works as a reward as well.
We will be interested in what you think about it. 🙂
We love freeze dried raw, so I’m sure it is going to be awesome.
My huskies lovvvvvvvvvvvve Instinct Raw!! Although we haven’t tried the mixers yet!!!
ღ husky hugz ღ frum our pack at Love is being owned by a husky!
The mixers are similar to freeze dried raw treats, which we love.
You are an excellent spokesdog! Sounds like great stuff!
The only thing missing was me howling while sitting on the shelf.
They look brilliant!
They taste brilliant too, and are real good for us.
Raw comes in many forms these days 😉 Awesome to hear that you mixed it up!! And I love your shelf picture!
Thanks. Raw added to our regular kibble is a good way to eat. We love it.
I think I need Momma to get me that for my food topping cause I are Mr. picky pants.
xoxo,

My senior sister Katie really likes it and it gets her eating. She isn’t much for eating these days.
I am going to give this a try on Gypsy the most finicky standard poodle eater of all time.

You make it sound so yummy Emma – We don’t do raw – human dehydrated with additional fruits and veggies are about as wild as we’ve gotten.
You should try dehydrated raw as a mixer. We started that last spring and love it.
