#MixItUp with Instinct® Raw Boost® Mixers. Mr. N Would Eat Them in a Box. Mr. N Would Eat Them with a Fox.

This post is sponsored by Instinct® and the BlogPaws Professional Pet Blogger Network. I am being compensated for helping spread the word about Instinct® Raw Boost® Mixers but Tenacious Little Terrier only shares information we feel is relevant to our readers. Instinct is not responsible for the content of this article.

Armed with the results of our shopping trip to Petsmart, we ventured out for a hike with Mr. N's friend Sage on a rare sunny day. The Instinct® Raw Boost® is ideal for high value treat  rewards on hikes as they are light to carry, tiny, the dogs love them and they ensure a speedy recall. I took a trial bag of the beef with me and Mr. N dashed back to me at intervals to check in and receive his just reward. 

The mixers are high in protein which Mr. N really needs because he burns all the calories running around after Sage and keeping warm after wading in the water. I gave him several pieces after he went in the water and he wanted to know if they were really all for him. I reassured him that yes, they were all his! 

Sage thought it was the most unfair thing in the world that Mr. N was being given treats and she wasn't. I promised her some after the photos but she couldn't wait. I accidentally dropped two of the pieces and she tore apart a log looking for them. Mr. N's friend, Sage ardently believes in the concept of #notreatleftbehind. I sent her home with a trial bag of the chicken mixers as Mr. N is allergic and she has proved her liking for them. 

Mr. N thinks it's dinner time and kindly pointed out where the mixers are being kept. I think we all get the message.

Mr. N is currently eating his pork raw food with the lamb topper. No need to add water which he appreciates. I think he doesn't like the texture change. He gobbles it down and leaves behind a clean plate. It's super easy to add it to your pet's food. We keep the bag by his dishes and I toss in a few pieces with his regular food at meal times. It's especially handy for us when we forget to thaw his normal food.

Eating raw has proved to be a boon for Mr. N. He's always had a a bit of a delicate stomach and raw helps with his digestive issues. They haven't completely gone away but are much reduced in frequency. He also has all the energy. People are always amazed when I tell them he's not a puppy but seven. He was chasing after a half-grown Lab puppy once and the Lab owner suggested he might mellow out when he grows up. She then asked me how old he was. I told her and she was like oh, I guess it's too late for that then.
