Original Chicken Dry Cat Food, 11 lb. Bag

As a former dog groomer and veterinary technician with extensive knowledge of feline skin, coats, and overall health, I’m very selective about what I feed my cats—and I choose Instinct. I always add a bit of water to their food to help support urinary health and reduce the risk of blockages, which is especially important for cats.Instinct uses high-quality ingredients that promote both internal health and a beautiful coat. Yes, it may cost a bit more, but in my experience, it's absolutely worth it. A few extra years with a healthy, happy cat is priceless. If your cat has been eating a lower-quality formula, switching to something more nutritious like Instinct can make a real difference in their longevity and well-being.10/10—highly recommend.

I switched my cat to wet food a while ago and she got to a perfectly healthy 10.4lbs. She got out the house and was gone for about a week and when she came back she had lost some weight. I haven’t been able to get her weight back up with wet food alone because upping her serving was just making her sick. When she was on dry food she was super fat so i figured incorporating dry food into her diet again would help get her weight up again without upsetting her tummy because i would need less dry food to get her into a calorie surplus. I didn’t want to feed her just any food and although it’s expensive as hell i decided on this one. She’s tearing it up as I’m typing this lmao she loves it. She dove into the kibble first even tho i put her wet and dry food down at the same time. I’m using this food supplementarily so hopefully it’ll last a while before i have to buy more.

My kitty girl, Kiki LOVES this dry food. This is the only thing she eats. I soak them in water to give her extra moisture at night and feed her them dry in the morning. I used to feed her Nulo Kitten/Adult formula and I think she was fine with it. Then I switched to Nulo Indoor Cat formula and she started having loose stool and blood in it sometimes. She also gained 4 lbs. In my opinion, Nulo is a great company and their cat dry food is a very good quality and reasonably priced. I thought of going back to Nulo Kitten/Adult formula but wanted to give this Instinct Original formula a try because it has less fiber, less fillers/carbs and high animal product protein content. Ingredients are pretty clean and great quality, and she LOVES it. I didn’t have to mix with her old food to introduce this food. She ate them straight away and asked for more. She went crazy for it. Her stool looks much better after the switch, lost some weight, and she seems to be more active. I’m happy I made this switch and knowing she’s getting a great nutritions she needs. Something like cat food is really up to individual cat and you can’t just decide based on other reviews. You have to do your own research and choose what’s best for your own cat’s needs but I’m very happy to say that this cat food works great for my kitty girl.

I have two cats, buying this since no problem at all

My cats weren't crazy about the taste at first but I eased into it by mixing it with their other foods for about a month, upping the volume with each mix. Now I'll give them a few morsels as treats and they love the taste. It smells a bit like a horse pasture but it's not unpleasant, just a very organic, open wheat field aroma. I'm a little concerned about the chicken being raw but I'm confident the company will always test their sources and avoid anything that could be harmful. I will buy again once this bag is finished.

I have been feeding my inside cat another high-grade indoor weight-control food which he has done well on, keeping him from gaining weight and no vomiting with it. But a few months ago he began to lose weight as well as his coat became dull and dry. I increased his food amount but it didn't address his problems. Looked at many brands and their INGREDIENTS, staying away from "fillers" and extra ingredients that take the place of those "filler". When I got this he would not eat it by itself but only mixed with his other dry food. For the 1st week I mixed 1/8 cup old and 1/8 cup of this new only for his mid-day feeding. He would pick out most of the old food while eating and only ate about half of the new which I left in his bowl to mix in with his night feeding so that ended up being 1/16 cup of new to 1/4 cup of the old variety and then he would eat it all. Slowly increased this over the next couple of weeks until he got used to its taste. With that gradual increase of this rabbit flavored food not only have I been able to decrease his intake from 1 cup/day to 3/4 cup/day and he is filled up while leaving some in his bowl for in-between eating :-). His coat is now silky and smooth, and he is not itching as much. Nor has his weight gain been more than he was prior to when he began to lose weight. I did try the chicken with "kibble" (dehydrated chicken pieces) and he would not eat the "kibble" at all!! So that I mixed in with the outside cats' food and even they do not like the "kibble" bits, so will order the chicken without the "kibble" pieces. Although this is quite expensive, with being able to feed less and still have the cats be fulfilled it is worth a few months' test to see just how well they do with these two varieties. I highly recommend this and the plain chicken variety.

My cats ripped into the bag that I kept on the floor so they definitely like this food, and since it’s such a large bag, it’s worth the price for how high the protein is!

All four of my cats love this cat food! Two of the kittens had been having soft poop before and after taking this their poop is normal. I think the cats need to drink more water.
