Instinct Original Dry Cat Food, Raw Coated Kibble, Real Chicken, 11 lb. Bag

The quality of this cat food is great. It’s high in protein and lower in carbs and fillers, which is what cats need. My cat Poet and I (along with his vet) struggled for a long time finding a cat food that works for him that wouldn’t upset his stomach. This is the one that works best for us. He no longer is vomiting as frequently as he was and he’s much healthier and happier. I know this cat food is a little bit on the pricier side, but I do think it’s worth every penny. The only thing about this cat food I would warn about is that the recommended serving size on the bag is 60 more than the calories your cat should be getting in a day if you have an average sized cat. Which doesn’t seem like a lot, but it is for a cat and can cause them to gain a bit of weight. I haven’t had the issue with feeding the serving size to one of my cats, but the other one did gain weight and is now slightly overweight.

My cats love this food. I love that it doesn't have grain fillers.

Saki the spoiled Siamese loves her dry crunchy kibble but she now loves this more than Tiki Cat. Amazon was out of her fish flavor so I did some research and found this cat food to be rated equally as good. I decided to try their chicken since the price was comparable and the first 4 ingredients in this product are meat products. Surprisingly their is also turkey meal and menhaden fish meal in the chicken recipe. The named fish meal is a great source of nutrients and omega fats. The protein content is 41%. All wholesome ingredients with no grain, potato, corn, soy or wheat. Nor does it contain artificial colors or preservatives. I like that it contains taurine for heart health and cranberries for urinary track health. Saki loves freeze dried turkey and it’s the 3rd listed meat. Instinct crushes and tumbles their freeze dried raw with their kibble, ensuring each piece contains a touch of raw coated food which they believe that real less processed whole raw foods the better. Saki has been eating this for a week and picks out this kibble from the mixed in Tiki Cat. The only ingredient I read anything controversial about was tapioca which has a high sugar content, but it’s a good grain substitute not known to cause allergies in pets. Cats are carnivores and this product is loaded with meat content. We have fed our Golden Instinct dog food and the Instinct brand rates very high by the animal review companies. It’s priced higher than some but not outrageous. Better quality food and ingredients will always cost more. You get what you pay for here. Highly recommend even if it’s just to switch brands occasionally for variety. Just be aware of the other non chicken meals if your cat has any food sensitivities or allergies.

Been buying this brand for years now. My cats like it. The ingredients seem to be of good quality. One cat is very picky about what he eats and he likes it.

This was a five star but We recently switched over to Purina and it is like night and day the quality. I'll give this 4 stars because it held us down for a year or two, but it could be a 3. Our cat sitter recommended Purina and I was skeptical. But, it's an overall better product just to smell of it it'll make you want to have a bowl yourself. But much love to instinct though.

One of my cats is extremely finnicky. She won't eat canned or fresh food. Has to be kibbles of two different brands, and even then she only eats a few pieces at a time, allowing her sister to clean up. But this Instinct kibble is now her favorite, and she eats all of her portion and then sits at her bowl wanting more.

My picky boy who has IBS loves this!! took a while though, tried blending it to ease the transition of the food and he just balked. finally just gave to him straight up and he loved it as it is!! and no upsetting his tummy!! because my picky boy wont even eat the McDonalds cat food (meow mix) hahaha at least he has standards

The cats like it. High quality grain-free food.

Does well for my cat. She has a sensitive tummy and is picky and enjoys this food. Also good to put in your enrichment toys

Este producto se merece 5 estrella, es de muy buena calidad, aportó a disminuir la caída de pelos de mi michi

My cat has loved the food and it's really good quality

The food is good, but almost half of the package was like powder, so I do not recommend buying this product.

Es muy buen producto. Probé con taste of the wild y también orijen; y creo que instinct está mejor balanceado tanto en calidad y precio. Tiene muy buenos ingredientes que aportan buena cantidad de proteína y tiene un precio muy competitivo comparado con las otras dos marcas. Además, es más fácil de conseguir, al menos aquí en México. Parece que tienen un rico sabor, ya que mi gato siempre deja el plato limpio (cosa que a veces no pasaba con las otras marcas). Y bueno, él está muy fuerte, saludable, siempre tiene energía para jugar, no está gordo (no hay que darle alimento de más), su pelaje brilla mucho y siempre se ve hermoso. Recomiendo estas croquetas.
