Questions & Answers

15 Customer Questions

Do these have potassium?

Can these be used as a primary food source?

Answer by Chewy • Jul 15, 2021
This is a topper and is not a complete and balanced meal.

Do these need to be refrigerated after opening?

Answer by Chewy • Oct 02, 2019
Freeze-dried Raw Boost Mixers can sit safely on your pantry shelf because the moisture has been removed. Unopened Mixers have a shelf life of two years, keeping in mind not to exceed the printed expiration date. Once opened, Mixers are fresh for up to 30 day as long as it’s resealed between feedings.

These are labeled to be fed by tablespoons. How many equal a tablespoon?

Answer by Chewy • Oct 29, 2020
There are approximately 8-10 Mixers in a tablespoon.

Caution!

I am writing this review so other pet parents can be aware and crush up the pieces finely before serving to their cats! While putting the topper on my cat’s dinner

I am writing this review so other pet parents can be aware and crush up the pieces finely before serving to their cats! While putting the topper on my cat’s dinner I found two extremely hard white pieces of bone or tooth inside. Hard as stone and sharp! Please be cautious! If I fed these whole to my cat I would not have noticed otherwise!

She's super picky and it's hard to find new things that are good for her and she likes. This is my third bag and I give her 3 I crumple up on her dry food. I noticed it helped her coat and skin as well as extremely lessoning hairballs. I only give her that much because of her sensitivities to things but it seems to be helpful, and working.

We rescued a cat back in September. I don't know her full story, but she's been shot before, had kittens and came to us definitely worn thin. Her coat was terrible- lots of dandruff, not soft, dull, and kind of clumpy. We started her on some wet food and started brushing her (though she hates to be brushed). We saw some improvement, but the dandruff and dullness persisted. Then I added these to her wet food 1-2x a day and within a few weeks, she's like a whole new kitty! Her dandruff is almost gone and her coat is shiny and oh so soft!

Awesome for cats that are picky about treats!

Our older kitty, Griffin, would not eat "healthier" types of treats until we tried the raw mixers, now he is a treat fiend. Drool everywhere and purrs that shake the ground. He also used to get pretty bad dandruff but the 'skin & coat health' ones have improved the state of his skin tremendously! No more annual baths.

This is my house tiger's favorite flavor of Raw Boost. I really like them because they have a high protein content and are grain free. I use them as treats but I also like to add a tablespoon on top of his crunchies (also one tablespoon) to hide the taste of the multivitamin I crumble over his food. A happy belly makes a happy cat!

Kevin used to like this flavor until recently. Usually we mix two different flavor of freeze-dry food for his breakfast every other morning. However, he refuse to eat the cod flavor all of sudden and try his best to eat the other flavor and left the cod flavor behind. It is so fun to watch him trying to avoid eating this flavor since it reminds me when I was a child and trying my best to avoid eat broccoli.:)

I have two cats, one doesn’t display any interest in these. My second cat, however, is OBSESSED. I bought these after trying shampoos, sprays, food, and treats from the vet to combat my long haired cat’s dandruff. Two weeks into these and her coat has never been shinier, and only a couple of specs of dandruff left! These will definitely be a staple in her diet. Worth the price and worth a try!

Starting by saying that I do not ever write reviews. But this was so incredible it would be actually mean of me not to tell other cat parents about it. My cat started having bad dandruff. The vet said it wasn't related to anything underlying. I tried pet wipes (he's still afraid of baths), I've tried fortified kibble food, I've tried special treats, I've tried supplement pills, I've tried powders, I've tried waterless shampoo sprays, I've tried different brushes for his coat and I've tried fish oil in a bottle which worked until he started refusing to eat it. I started to feed my cat fancy all natural human grade food that has all the correct nutrients in it. I was losing my mind because NOTHING was working and it was so expensive to keep trying solution after solution. I was on Chewy to buy something else but bought a pack of these to try because they were on sale and I thought why not, I've spent more trying to fix this why not try this for $2. I started by giving him 1 every other day (even tho it's a topper I just didnt know how he would tolerate it) and he liked them. After about a week, I noticed a huge difference in the softness of his coat and noticed my cat wasn't constantly fussing with his coat. I now give him 2-3 on top of his breakfast every day and theres almost NO dandruff. Absolutely incredible. I know every cat is different but I cannot believe I tried so many other things before finding this easy solution. It's been about a month now, and I hope the results stay this way!

Good stuff! I throw this on top of my kitties dry food and she gobbles it up!:) if I don’t seal the bag with a clip after opening it she won’t eat it tho (she’s spoiled) it goes from moist and chewy to more dry. Her fur has gotten so soft between this and her almo nature food.

This is an ongoing issue. My cats like eating there freeze dry food as kibble, that is how I feed them as well. They do not like there freeze dry being all powder. When you ship the wet can food along with all there dry food the box is very heavy. This means that during the delivery the box is dropped multiple times. By the time it gets to me at least half of all the dry packages has been crushed by the very large and heavy box being dropped multiple times. Items pulverized on this delivery: 1 Raw Mix Digest; 2 Raw Mix Chicken; 2 Raw Mix Skin HLTH; 1 Stella Duck Duck Goose and both (2) Stella Turkey. I would highly suggest that your ship the dry and wet food separately as my pets hate eating the powder and it becomes a big waste of food.
