Feeding Guidelines

Nature's Variety Freeze Dried Diets can be fed as singular meals or be used as a supplement, treat, training aid, or added to other foods as a palatant. Rotate and use in variety with other Nature's Variety freeze dried diets, dry kibble diets, raw frozen diets and canned foods. There are approximately 48 medallions per bag.

When introducing a new diet, always transition over a period of several days in order to avoid digestive disturbances. The following amounts should be decreased in proportion to the amount of supplementation with other Nature's Variety Diets. If Nature's Variety Freeze Dried Diet is fed singularly during any one day, the suggested feeding guide is recommended with adjustments being made for factors such as stress, activity and breed. Puppies can be fed free choice. As the product is mostly meat and has no grain, it will not swell up or absorb much water. It takes about 15 minutes for reconstitution.

7.5 lbs. - 3 medallions per day, add 1/3 cup water if reconstituted
15 lbs. - 6 medallions per day, add 2/3 cup water if reconstituted
30 lbs. - 10 medallions per day, add 1 cup water if reconstituted
45 lbs. - 14 medallions per day, add 1-1/3 cup water if reconstituted
60 lbs. - 16 medallions per day, add 1-2/3 cups water if reconstituted

Comments about Nature's Variety Grain-Free Instinct Freeze Dried Raw:

This is overall the best freeze dried raw on the market. It always rates at the top of the list. I break up the medallion and add water to hydrate. The only down fall is that the beef medallions are a bit hard to break up. My dogs(Whippets)do the best on a high protein diet and these really fit the bill.

    Comments about Nature's Variety Grain-Free Instinct Freeze Dried Raw:

    Although it's a bit expensive it lasts for me because I sprinkle it over food when my finicky eater doesn't touch his dinner.
    I've also used it as a training treat with good results.
    My two bichons would probably do my laundry for this -- they like it that much.

      We are thrilled to have found this wonderful raw treat for our Cavaliers. They work very well for training and are full of the nutrition that we value. We also use as a meal if we are traveling or run out of meat. Highly recommend.

        Feed this on top of his regular dog food and he loves it. Don't add water or anything- just break it up. I cut back on his dry and he loves it. Cleans the bowl everytime.

          Comments about Nature's Variety Grain-Free Instinct Freeze Dried Raw:

          This product would be expensive as a meal for our 60# dog. He has many food allergies, and so I'm always on the look-out for treats he can have. These "pucks" make a good evening snack, as they are low in calories and nutritious!

          Comments about Nature's Variety Grain-Free Instinct Freeze Dried Raw:

          This is well-loved by all of my dogs. Sometimes I crush a medallion over their food when they're being picky about eating. I would recommend NOT feeding these whole to animals, as big pieces can come out the other end undigested. It seems to work better if broken into smaller pieces or crushed. Make sure your pet has plenty of water when giving this product.

              Comments about Nature's Variety Grain-Free Instinct Freeze Dried Raw:

              I'm a volunteer with a small dog rescue group and the majority of the dogs that we rescue right from shelters are horribly malnurished, some very shy/scared, and older so we try whatever we can to get the dogs to eat, slowly gain weight and start their new lives in the most loving, healthy way that we know how and this product is 100% perfect for that. We use this product as a topper to entice the dogs to eat and once they're used to it, we just continue to feed it. Have never had any tummy problems, which is really important since we have so many little dogs at one time in the house. Would definitely recommend this to anyone, especially with picky eaters!

                    • Cats

                    Comments about Nature's Variety Grain-Free Instinct Freeze Dried Raw:

                    This high quality, 95% protein freeze-dried medallion-type food is perfect for cats. It provides the benefit of a raw diet without the chore and precautions required for handling raw meat. One medallion is a perfect cat-sized meal. Crush into a bowl and rehydrate with water. It has a pleasant, "grain" smell, but it contains no grain. A truly healthful product, pricey, but worth every penny. I am disappointed that the manufacturer apparently has discontinued the 12 oz size bag.
