Frustrated by Formula Changes
My cats loved this brand’s rabbit flavor until one day they didn’t. We switched to the duck and they loved that until this latest case of 3oz cans. Now they don’t even want to sniff it. My local pet store has some old formula left and I guess I’ll buy those up while I try to make the third food migration in six months. This brand is too pricey to keep rolling the dice. I’m disappointed because the cats were thriving and I love a quality food I can stock up on at Chewy but also find in my rural community if I run out before my next autoship.
Formula change and not made in USA
I reached out to customer service because my cats stopped eating it and the texture is weird like soft pudding. The label says "product of Thailand" instead of the USA like it used to say. Customer service confirmed they opened plants in Thailand so that's where it is made now. Very disappointing.
Formula changed
My cat has been loving this food for years. This winter they were out of the 3 oz cans so I had to get the 5.5 oz cans. Food was hard, like a hockey puck. He reluctantly ate it. Finally, the 3 oz cans were back in stock! Unfortunately, the formula changed again, this time to a pudding-like texture. So disgusting, my cat will barely touch that. I’m at a loss. What happened to the old formula, soft pate with gravy? The larger cans are too hard, the smaller cans are too soft and Goldilocks over here is looking for “just right!” Big time fail, instinct!
Has chicken now!!
We always buy instinct brand wet cat food because our cats are intolerant to chicken. But they quietly changed their recipe and the “original real duck recipe” has chicken now! They needed to make this a lot more clear on their product description
Formula Changed-Cat won't touch
This is the only brand my cat with IBD would eat. It obviously has more guar gum in it now than before. The color, texture, and smell is completely different. Before it was a pate', now it is a puree' like pudding. My cat basically laughed at me when I put it down for him to eat. I'm unfortunately now on a stressful and expensive hunt again for a food he will eat. It's a bummer that a company would change a perfectly good formula.
Recipe Changed for the Worse
All the latest reviews are correct. It is now light brown goop and the cats won't touch it. In the past they loved it. It was one of the few things they could eat with their food allergies. So disappointed.
My cat refuses to eat it
I think the cans are old. Usually the food is soft and juicy but the cans I received had hard, dry looking food. Also, many of the cans I've ordered lately have arrived dented so had to be tossed.
Recipe change
Up until recently I would have given 5 stars. As others have mentioned, the consistency has changed to a denser formula, with less peas and carrots and instead of a broth-like liquid a gelatinous gross goo. An email to Instinct customer service gave a vague unsatisfactory response to explain the changes.
Recipe Changed
It appears as though instinct changed their recipe. I just got this and it looks like they replaced turkey with chicken and also put guar gum instead of the clay. My cat can't have chicken so I will be requesting a refund. So disappointed since my cat has been eating this for years.
This is a NO GO
I liked the ingredient list, especially what's not in the food. But the cats are rating this one 0 stars, they won't touch it. It's very dense and dry in consistency and the cats don't even like the smell and walk right away. Another one ending up as dog kibble topper. Dog doesn't mind it, so it's not going to waste.
