Can a recent purchaser confirm this includes ice packs for freshness of wet food? Thanks.

It comes with two refillable ice packs. They are a bit leaky as the lids don't latch on tight, but if you store them in the freezer so they aren't lying flat, there should be no issues. My biggest thing is I have yet to find replacement packs, so I always have to be on top of getting them back into the freezer.

They were included with the item I purchased. I have not inspected or used them. I use the product only for dry food.

Yes, I ordered mine about 2 months ago. It has a lower tray with 2 removable pieces (1/2 circle-shaped) you can fill with water and freeze.

I didn't have any ice packs in mine but there is a spot in the bottom to put them.

I only use for dry food, but it does come with two ice packs, which is to say two rigid plastic packs with screw-on lids for filling with water and freezing.

Mine included ice packs but I never use them as they would melt very quickly. I do have the packs filled with water though to add extra weight to the feeder.

Yes. It is insulated,but if you live in a warm climate I would add the ice pack. Hubby says his cold water bottle keeps stuff pretty cold tho. Also I dont pack to much that has to be kept cold. Just sandwich, salad and such. He hasnt complained yet!

Ice packs are not included when your order is fulfilled by Amazon and are included when fulfilled by merchants listing offers to ship with ice and the buyer sees clearly the ice pack is included when making their purchase. More importantly, however than the question as to whether the product comes with an ice pack or not is the question regarding necessity of an ice pack. It's significant to note that while many buyers of Klaire Labs probiotics insist these products require refrigeration to ship, the manufacturer does not. The manufacturer reports in their summer 2011 update on probiotics; "At Klaire Labs, we conduct real-time stability studies on all our probiotic products to assess their long-term viability at both refrigerated and room temperatures. Data we've obtained from independent laboratory tests indicate our products maintain a relatively high degree of stability at room temperature for up to five months and then gradually begin to lose potency (see graph below). This suggests that while our probiotics require refrigeration to maintain viability over time, they do not quickly die off at room temperatures. Products may be taken out of the refrigerator for weeks or even months without a significant loss of viable organisms. Products shipped to customers with cold packs also retain excellent viability even if the cold packs are thawed and the product no longer feels cold to the touch at the time of arrival. To further ensure the potency of our products, we routinely formulate with "overages" so that even small losses of activity that may occur during shipping, handling, and storage are insignificant."

Jessica, We ship this item with a free cold pack, I am not sure about Amazon or other sellers if they do.

Dear Stacey, We ship all probiotics with an ice pack. However, in accordance to the manufacturer's shipping policy, the ice packs will not remain frozen. As long as the probiotics are shipped with a frozen ice pack, there potency will be maintained during transit, even if the ice pack is completely warm and thawed upon arrival. Please contact us with any additional questions. THDV Staff

Yes. Mine came with, 1 - 11" x 10' Heat- Seal Roll, 3 - Quart-size Heat -Seal Bags, 2 - Gallon-size Heat-Seal Bags, 1- 2 Quart Oval Marinator, 1 - Portion Pouch Roll, 1 - 11" x 10' Heat- Seal Roll, 3 - Quart-size Heat -Seal Bags, 2 - Gallon-size Heat-Seal Bags, 1- 2 Quart Oval Marinator, 1 - Portion Pouch Roll, 16 -Freeze N' Steam Bags, FoodSaver Custom Tip Book, $100 in coupons, and Quick Start Guide & Reference Manual. The package was called the "Master Chef Kit". Costco and Walmart have great prices on additional bags and stuff. I use this thing daily. I buy in bulk at Costco, break up the portions for the two of us and freeze the rest. It literally lasts more than a year in the freezer. Pay close attention when sealing liquids -- the machine can permanently clog.

It says on the bottle it does, but I contacted the company and they said that during shipping they dont use ice packs. You need to refrigerate once opened to maintain potency of the probiotic. They said its guaranteed at least 25 billion. It dosent make since to me though, wouldnt it be logical to ship with an ice pack and then guarantee higher than 25 billion. Its almost like false advertising if they state 50 billion on the bottle, yet guarantee 25 billion, thats half lost. Just ship with an ice pack already...just my two cents.

Sorry-last answer was wrong product. Love the ice packs-very little odor-maybe smells like cedar. We store them in the freezer and ice our sore muscles every day. We are up tp 3 of them!

Ice packs definitely help keep items cold. None are included. I use mine as an adult lunch box, holds plenty

It depends how warm the environment is, how much food you'll have and how many ice packs you'll use. The more you use, the more likely the food will stay cold/frozen.

It never came with an ice pack.You may be able to find it at Vitamin Shoppe, they may keep it in a refrigerator but I am not positive.

I am not real sure about that, when they arrived at my house, they had an ice pack in the package, but it was already melted for the most part. I guess it depends on how long it will take to get there.

Yes. But care should be taken to order in cooler months. Mine had a cold pack and styrofoam peanuts.

this particular company did not ship in ice pack. however it was 2 day shipping and so is fine in cold weather. Summer......one needs to find a supplier who uses the ice pack.

The picture on Amazon is not the greatest, but I've seen better pictures at Drugstore.com and at Bed Bath and Beyond. Basically, it is three separate containers plus the ice pack. The two smaller containers fit inside the larger container, still leaving room under the ice pack for a sandwich/entree. I hope that makes sense!

Yes the ice pack does work. Heat actually rises and cold air lowers. This keeps your food cold and doesn't have to be in close contact with the food.
