Review: I own a cat I treat like a queen. Only the well researched best for my little girl! The things I love about this product both the freeze dried and Raw/freeze dried kibble combo is: Nutrient density is off the charts compared to cooked, chemical treated/high-heat processed, ash containing, low cost, popular cat foods. No Ash!? Ash day after day, year after year is known to cause kidney failure, kidney disease, severe urinary track infections Cancer (bone, organ and blood) This product has 0% ash content. It’s Organic, Raw, Uncooked, organ dominate content, bioavailability and naturally processed.(to preserve the nutrients, hormones, digestive enzymes, organic/chelated vitamins, minerals, naturally occurring compounds vs. inorganic, chemical and undigestible, biologically unavailable vitamins, minerals and compounds.) The only problem I had was getting my girl to like the texture of freeze dried foods. Separate the freeze dried from the kibble. Use a little water in a measuring cup and soak them until the food is comparable to moist food and serve it. After about a week she started liking it. If you get the raw kibble/freeze dried separate them before soaking. Remember to, the food will decay faster when moistened so if you free-feed in days worth only serve1-2 days worth of food or your cat will likely get bad diarrhea, insatiable thirst, unusual behavior and stop eating completely. (Learned the hard way.) Do you and your cat a justice, try one bag. The behavioral and physical improvements, even on a young one like mine, caused my jaw to drop and mouth to open many times. Find out for yourselves!
Review: My cats love this!! One is a very picky eater and she eats it like a treat.

**Q: How many meals can this bag feed an adult house cat?**
A: 4.75 cups in the bag and no, you probably can’t afford to feed this to your cat exclusively.

**Q: Can you mix it with kibble?**
A: Instinct sells the same product labeled as Toppers in smaller bags to mix with kibble, which is useful to transition your cat to eating raw. I have achieved the total transition and now have stopped serving kibble at all.
