Original Dry Cat Food, Raw Coated Kibble, High Protein, Grain Free Recipe - Real Chicken, 5 lb. Bag

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.

I was hesitant to try this food at first because my cat is picky and I had just adopted her, so I didn’t yet know what she would like. She absolutely loved it and eats it with no problem. I feel good knowing it’s healthy, made with high-quality ingredients, real chicken, and no grains or harmful additives. I’m glad I gave it a try and will definitely keep buying it.

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.

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.

This is one of 2 cat kibbles that doesn't give our cat nasty poops. I've tried everything from cheap to really expensive food, probiotic/prebiotic. I suspect they have an issue with grain and legumes. It's hard to find legume (pea) free cat food that is also grain free. It is expensive compared to stuff like meow mix, but not as pricey as royal canine. The cats eat it just fine, no fussiness.

This dry food is amazing! The formula is rich in protein (extremely important for any cat’s diet) and the main source of that protein comes from chicken. Furthermore, it does not contain any animal by-products or artificial colors, flavors, and preservatives and it has guaranteed levels of natural omegas and antioxidants (these promote healthy skin, shiny coats, & immune system support/strength). The only con of the formula is that it has a low percentage of guaranteed moisture, which is why I suggest pairing this dry food with wet food. I chose this brand after hours of research and it’s because of the quality ingredients that I’ve made it my choice. The weeks following my change I noticed the coats of my 3 cats were significantly softer, shinier, and healthier. I cannot stress how important it is for cat owners to do their research before choosing the right brand for their fur babies, because not all cats require the same nutrients in their diet. Not only that, but if you choose a brand with too many carbs, filler products, or not enough moisture, you’re putting your cat(s) at risk for obesity, bladder infections/problems, and kidney failure. This brand has been perfect for my 3 cats (they seem to love it) and I have no intention of switching it any time soon! To stress it even more: moisture, moisture, and moisture! Moisture is so essential for all cats so I definitely recommend pairing this dry food with wet food and making sure your cat is drinking plenty of water! Side note: I did notice a change in the color and shape of the kibble (my newest bag contains the kibble on the right), I’m not sure what prompted this change but I sure hope it has nothing to do with the formula. Aside from the kibble’s newfound change in appearance, I would highly recommend this dry food for cat owners and cats alike!

My cat is fininky but loves it! Will buy again…

my cats are used to purine one, idoor & aren't crazy about this yet.

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

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

good healthy product
