Feeding Guidelines

These projected feeding amounts are ONLY GENERAL GUIDELINES. Daily portions are based on the recommended feeding amounts for a average active adult dog or cat. Feed up to twice the amount for puppies, kittens, and nursing or pregnant mothers. Individual requirements will vary based on your pet's metabolism, daily activity, age, genetics, health, environment, and other factors.

Animal Type	Weight (lbs)	Feeding Amount (oz)
Cat	Up to 2	1 - 1.3
2 - 5	1.3 - 2.1
5 - 10	2.1 - 3.5
10 - 15	3.5 - 4.9
15 - 20	4.9 - 6.3

Animal Type	Weight (lbs)	Feeding Amount (oz)
Dog	Up to 20	1 - 5.9
20 - 40	5.9 - 9.3
40 - 60	9.3 - 12.2
60 - 80	12.2 - 14.8
80 - 100	14.8 - 17.2
Over 100	17.2 - 26

Shipping Information

There is a 4 pound minimum and $9.95 shipping surcharge on all frozen raw food and bones orders. Additional charges may apply for air express service or very large orders. Please read the following carefully:

Special Packaging - All raw food and bones are shipped frozen in special styrofoam-lined boxes with dry ice. The shipping surcharge is to cover the cost of the dry ice and special packaging.
Tuesday Shipping - All frozen raw orders will ship Tuesday. To ensure that we have adequate stock to fill your order, you must place your order by midnight Sunday. Orders placed on Monday or later will ship the following Tuesday.
FedEx Ground Service - The least expensive shipping method is FedEx Ground Service. Delivery time frames vary depending on the state shipped to, but in most cases your delivery will be on Friday or Saturday. Please click here to view a map showing the number of days to your location. If you are in the 4 day delivery area (green area on the map) then your order will arrive on a Saturday. We strongly recommend upgrading to an express delivery service (see below) if you will not be available to receive your order and place it in the freezer at the time of delivery (we cannot offer refunds or reships on thawed food that is not received by a person at the time of delivery).
FedEx Express Service - We do offer Overnight, 2 Day, and 3 Day service. We encourage you to choose one of these express services if you are unable to personally receive your food at the time of delivery, which may include Saturday. Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico must use 2 Day or Overnight Delivery. We cannot offer refunds or reships on thawed food that is not signed for by a person at the time of delivery.
Multiple Box Surcharge - Some orders weighing over 20 pounds must be shipped in more than one box and will be subject to additional shipping surcharges. Not all orders over 20 pounds will need to be sent in multiple boxes, and if this applies to your order we will notify you before processing it so that you can make adjustments if desired. In general, bones, medallions, and patties tend to take more room. As a guideline, the maximum a box will hold of each type of food is 34 x 1 lb. chubs or 8 x 3 lb. medallions or 6 x 6 lb. patties or 2 x 25 lb. boxes of dinner bars.
Delivery Instructions - Please ship to an address where someone will be available to accept the order. If this is not possible, please leave a note for the FedEx delivery person on the scheduled day of delivery with instructions on where to leave it (that is not in the hot sun). The food will only stay frozen for up to 4 days from shipment, so if it is not able to be delivered or it sits outside after delivery, there is a possibility that the food will begin to thaw. We cannot accept returns or offer refunds or reships for orders that are unable to be delivered or that are not signed for by a person at the time of delivery. We are unable to send frozen raw food orders with "Shipper Release," so please leave your delivery driver a note if you think they will not leave the package with no one home.

SEPARATE RAW FOOD ORDERS - If you are ordering both frozen raw food or bones and other, non-frozen items, you will need to place two separate orders. This will prevent the non-frozen items from being delayed until Tuesday and from being subject to extra shipping charges.

Comments about Nature's Variety Grain-Free Instinct Frozen Raw Food:

I bought the product since it said for both cats and dogs. I wanted something that was a better quality food than the main stream canned food. To get them used to it I mixed in a little of their canned food and they ate that or just poured a little of the gravy from the canned food...by itself....not tasty enough I guess.

Comments about Nature's Variety Grain-Free Instinct Frozen Raw Food:

The chubs are the most cost-effecive, but the most difficult to portion. I thaw out the whole chub and then when partially frozen cut it up into portions for the am/pm feeding. Because i dont feed just this food, it is supplemented with dehydrated raw and some kibble the portions are smaller and the whole cutting up and putting it into baggies process is a pain and messy.

The dogs love the bison and the patties are easy to thaw and portion ahead of time. Sometimes the patties do stick together and can be difficult to separate when taking out days portion from the bag.

Comments about Nature's Variety Grain-Free Instinct Frozen Raw Food:

This product is great! I have 3 cats age 14,6,5. The 6 year old male had chronic diarrhea for over 3 years and now has very formed stools with less odor. All 3 cats are happier, more energetic, and overall healthier. Medallions couldn't be easier to defrost, warm, and feed. NOTE: Patience is key to switching to a raw food diet. Took several months.

Cat diarrhea
Cats

Comments about Nature's Variety Grain-Free Instinct Frozen Raw Food:

I am a new cat owner, and did a lot of research on the absolute best diet before adopting my Sweet Pea. In short, she went from a skinny cat with a dry brittle coat on kibble at the shelter to a full healthy weight with an amazing silky coat in a matter of days. Even my bf has commented that she has the silkiest coat of any cat he's known. She was having some mild diarrhea, but that stopped completely after the first day with only raw food, now it's only good firm stools. It costs more than kibble, yes, but it's an investment in her good health, which is priceless. I also work a lot, so it's easy prep is great: Sundays I prepare seven containers with a day's worth of food in each, and every night I put one in the fridge for the next day to thaw. I add a few tablespoons of water for extra moisture in my cat's diet, mush it up a bit for her, and it's ready to serve. She loves, loves, loves the venison, is eh about the chicken, and I'm eager to try the beef and lamb for her. I feel great knowing she is getting the best, and I've recommended it to all my fellow cat and dog owners too.

My only question is regarding the salmon oil used: is this product tested for mercury content? Mercury is so prevalent in fish, and my cat is only 8 pounds; I'm worried that even a little could harm her.

Comments about Nature's Variety Grain-Free Instinct Frozen Raw Food:

The chub is a great idea. But you have to defrost the entire chub at one time; and that is too much for my 2 dogs to eat before it gets too unfresh. I like the medallions much better. Better control of amount of food.
