Instinct portions them as \"Conveniently portioned 1 oz. medallions for easy raw feeding\", so a meal is just a matter of counting out pieces and thawing them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's actually in it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCage-free turkey, which Instinct says is raised without antibiotics or added hormones, is first, followed by turkey liver and turkey heart. Carrots, apples, sweet potatoes, butternut squash, blueberries and spinach make up the produce, and Instinct states it's made without grain, corn, wheat, soy or legumes. Instinct says it's made in the USA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSalmon oil and ground flaxseed add omega fatty acids, which Instinct includes to support skin and coat. It carries a 13% protein minimum, a touch higher than the beef and chicken medallions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it suits, and who it doesn't\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt suits a healthy adult dog who does well on poultry, and is a natural pick when a family is steering away from chicken and beef. A medallion or two also works as a topper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eInstinct's AAFCO statement is for adult maintenance, so it isn't meant as a puppy's main diet. It isn't for a dog avoiding turkey or fish oil.

Instinct notes that ideal feeding amounts depend on age, weight and activity level, and that each medallion is approximately 1 oz. Spayed or neutered and less active dogs often need the lower end of the range. Check your dog's body condition after two or three weeks... ribs easy to feel under a thin layer, a waist visible from above... and adjust. Always keep fresh water out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSwitching over\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eChange foods gradually over about a week. Start with roughly a quarter FreshRaw mixed into the old food, move to half, then three quarters, then all FreshRaw. Going slowly gives your dog's stomach time to adjust, and that matters even more when the move is from kibble to raw.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSizes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e3 lb bag, which works out to roughly 48 medallions at about 1 oz each. For a 20 lb adult eating 12 medallions a day (the top of Instinct's 16 to 25 lb range), that's about 4 days. If you feed medallions as a topper rather than the whole meal, a bag lasts far longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eStorage and safe handling\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eKeep the bag in the freezer until you need it. Instinct's label says to keep medallions frozen until ready to use, that they thaw within 1 to 2 hours in the refrigerator, and that they should be served cold. Thaw in a covered container in the refrigerator, and only what your dog will eat that day; Instinct's FAQ guidance for thawed raw in the fridge is \"We suggest no longer than 24 hours.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRaw food needs the same care as raw meat in your own kitchen. Instinct's label says: \"Discard uneaten food 30 minutes after serving. Wash hands and utensils after handling raw pet food.\" Wash your dog's bowl with hot, soapy water after each meal too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Instinct by Nature's Variety","offers":[{"title":"3-lb","offer_id":67685283725597,"sku":"51797","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0079\/0498\/5185\/files\/6471180_Main_Image.jpg?v=1791288969","url":"https:\/\/www.thehungrypuppy.com\/products\/instinct-freshraw-medallions-cage-free-turkey-recipe-frozen-dog-food","provider":"The Hungry Puppy","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
