Original Kitten Chicken Dry Cat Food, 4.5 lb. Bag

I've been searching for the ideal kitten food to nurture my little fur ball, and Instinct Original Kitten Dry Cat Food has proven to be the purr-fect choice! From the moment I opened the bag, I could tell this was a high-quality product. The ingredients list is impressive, featuring real chicken as the primary protein source, which is crucial for a growing kitten’s development.My kitten, Gabby, absolutely loves the taste! She eagerly devours every meal, and I’ve noticed a significant improvement in her energy levels and coat sheen since switching to this brand. The kibble size is just right for her tiny teeth, making it easy for her to chew and digest.I appreciate that Instinct uses natural ingredients without any grain fillers, corn, wheat, or soy, which gives me peace of mind knowing I’m feeding Luna a holistic and nutritious diet. Plus, the inclusion of probiotics helps support her digestive health, which is an added bonus.Overall, Instinct Original Kitten Dry Cat Food has exceeded my expectations. It’s a bit on the pricier side, but the quality and health benefits make it worth every penny. I highly recommend this to any kitten parent looking for a reliable and nutritious food option. Gabby and I couldn’t be happier!

My cats love it!

My cat likes this brand of dry food. The food quality looks good from the listed ingredients.

I just recently got my little kitten Mango about 2 months ago. His foster mom had given me a little bag of food to ween him onto whatever other kitten food I’d give him. Thankfully I got this bag first. So I weened him onto this food with little to no issues!Unfortunately, once the bag was running low, we decided to see if we could try a brand that we found in a store that seemed to be a very high quality brand based on reviews! So we started weening him on to this new food and got no further than adding a tablespoon of that new food to his bowl. He liked it but it gave him uncontrollable stools. The first day we tried getting him onto the new food we had poop ALL OVER!! I’m talking the floors, the book shelf, the hamper, EVEN THE LAPTOPS! After the 4th day of things getting no better with just this small addition of food I decided my kittens booty has had enough and so have I with all this cleaning.I started just feeding him this food again today and thankfully that fixed his poops right up! He loves this food so much too, I get a bright and early 8 am wake up call to remind me to feed him. He loves this food and even when I give him wet food he does this adorable thing where he bites the wet food, bites the dry food, and eats it that way. I may consider mixing them for him at some point, but I think he likes his little system haha.All in all I think this brand is great and the quality and fantastic as well. Of course all kittens are different, but this one is MANGO APPROVED!

I just started my kitten on this, did the subscription, first month was great she absolutely loves this stuff and comes running when I fill the bowl. This month, the kibbles are different. Flatter and larger, but the bags are identical. Looks like adult sized kibble. The only difference I could see was the first bag had an expiration date of 4/2021 and this new bag had an expiration date of 4/2022? Was looking through the reviews and saw someone also posted they got different kibbles a few months ago too, so I don’t know what’s going on here but will have to monitor for next months batch. It does smell the same! Gross fishy smell but that’s probably why she loves it so much.*****UPDATE just found this note from instinct about the issue: The kibble size can vary from batch to batch, and even within the same batch. The operators are constantly needing to adjust the machinery to try and keep a consistent size during a production run. We try our best to get maintain a consistent size, however, if the kibble falls within the allowed range, it will still be acceptable. Sometimes it may fall on the large end or the small end of the spectrum.So I’m changing rating back to 5 stars. I do wish they’d keep them smaller for little kitten mouths though!

I am posting this in response to a review I read saying that NO KITTENS enjoy this food... I have found exactly the opposite to be true. My kitties have LOVED this dry food since they were 3 months old!!!!Of course I’m giving the 5 stars for flavor and scent based on the fact that my babies seem to think this is 5 star. I have not personally tried it and can’t say that I (as a vegan no less) enjoy the scent.I tried the Instinct frozen, raw rabbit meat and unfortunately they don’t like it. I even tried cooking it!!! Nada. They want what they want!!! Which for now is canned Nulo (the teeny cans) and dry Instinct. I even tried the Instinct toppers and they ate a couple but not huge fans and it mostly gets wasted.My guess is that the woman who posted that ALL KITTENS EVAHHH HATE THIS FOOD was most likely feeding other cheaper dry foods which have all types if flavoring enhancers to make the cats want it (think potato chips for humans), and Instinct does not. Only a guess. Because as I said, my babies love it. And my vet co-signed it, so it appears that it is indeed high quality food.
