My cat LOVES this
My cat is happy therefore I am happy... so glad to have found a product my kitty loves so much!
Excellent food
I wanted to try something more natural for 2 of my 8 cats. (Can’t afford to feed this to all of them twice a day!) Mainly because one has become very picky about eating and was a little to think for my liking. The other one had major fur issues. He had mats galore and will not let me groom him. My picky eater now eats and my fur problem kitty, is no longer a problem. His fur is shiny, soft and mat free!
All 4 cats Love it
I have a Snowshoe, Bengal/tabby, tuxedo, and torbi. Mixed ages and genders. All indoor. ALL with their own picky preferences. After the 1st try, and since then (only a week now), THEY ALL LOVE IT. As suggested, I'm introducing slowly with other food (canned & dry). As long as it is healthy for them, I will continue to buy it!
Grain-Free Instinct Raw Market did not work for my Old Man!
This product is very expensive, I was hoping that my cat with a very sensitive stomach would keep it down but unfortunately the $ spent came flying out of his mouth. Just an older cat with a special need diet & sadly this expensive product did not meet his needs.
Some love it
Some of thecats I feed love this food.UNFORTUNATELY, THE MFG HAS STOPPED PRODUCING IT!
Great for a Treat
My cat loves the taste of this stuff. I give it to him mixed with his dry food for a special treat and he loves it!
Convenient Way To Feed Raw
For the health of my cats, I have switched to raw. I initially tried Nature's Variety frozen version, but like the freeze-dried much better. Quick and convenient to prepare and my cats like it.
Cats loved these!
I sprinkle these nuggets over wet food every day and all 6 cats love them!
What all cats are supposed to eat
Finally a species appropriate food for my babies. Amazing that a pet food manufacturer is finally on board with feeding felines, who are strict carnivores, food that is so easy and convenient as the non species appropriate food( Dry or canned). Raw has the enzymes our cats need to digest and absorb the nutrients they NEED to live long and disease free lives. If your kitty says no to this please don't give up. It's just different in texture and taste. Try mixing small amount with old food and gradually add more. All mine are now eating this as well as different brands for a rotation diet. This can be fed dry in the beginning if your kitty eats dry food.
Instinct nuggets for cats
They are way too big. What a pain. The cats like the taste
