Instinct Original Grain-Free Pate Real Lamb Recipe Canned Cat Food

My cats wouldn't touch this food! For the price I thought This food would knock their socks off! Donate to the ferals or shelter. Thanks anyway

The Instinct lamb formula has the right amounts of protein & fat to meet the needs of my 15 year old cat with digestive issues. He likes it and tolerates well.

My cat Gus had to be switched to a partially wet diet recently. He is 9 1/2 yrs old. I needed to remove the peas and legumes from his diet as well because we found out he had an enlarged heart. I tried a few different 95% meat varieties on him and decided that the Instinct brand was his favorite. He loves chicken, rabbit, duck, and lamb. The texture is more like ground meat which he prefers. I think he finds it easier to pick up the food with his tongue. This food does have some peas in it though. However, the peas are whole and can be picked out, which I do. Given the issue with DCM and peas/legumes in pet food, I wish Instinct would completely remove the peas.

My cat ate nothing but a grain free dry food with peas and legumes in it for his entire life and now has an enlarged heart. My daughter’s cat ate the same dry food for life and also has an enlarged heart. As I said though, you can pick the peas out. My cat adores the food. … more

Instincts one of the best for high protein I think. I am not expert. My kitty was sick and my vet recommended Lamb for easy digestion. We had Hounds and Gatos Lamb for a long time till one day my kitty said nope, I am over this so we tried this but I think he just doesn't dig Lamb anymore...he is over it so on we go to find a new alternative. I would definitely recommend - gave 4 stars cause my guy said no.

I've gotten used to the Instinct 5.5 oz cans being liquidy, but this was over the top. There was so much liquid in the can that there was no where near 5.5 oz of solid food. Also only one of my cats would even touch it. They use good ingredients, but since I am splitting a can between two cats, I don't know that they are really getting enough food because they frequently weigh .2 -.4 ounces less than the can says.

This was rated good so I decided to give it a try - my cat decided after 2 cans she d idn't like it. In her defense, it's watery & has a weird texture, not your normal smooth pate & it has carrots in it - I d idn't think that would be an issue but apparently my cat feels it is.

We have 5 cats who have been switched over to Instinct. We have been feeding them Instinct now for many months. Except for the expense, we are very happy. For anyone concerned about the "pate" not being moist enough, the 5.5 oz cans are much moister than the 3 oz cans. We just switch over our last order because we order so much. We have found that the 3oz cans are drier than the 5.5oz cans for some reasons. The cats clean their bowls now. I just split cans in half since I have to feed so many and rotate the novel proteins so they don't get tired of them. It was great to find food without chicken, egg, and grain free since I have 2 cats with allergies. They eat it much better than the We have 5 cats who have been switched over to Instinct.

My elderly cat (19) is a very picky eater and gets bored with a food very quickly. I have to keep a variety of non-grain foods available and this is one of them. He loves the broth, but usually leaves some of the meat.

Turns out my little male is a crazy guy due to allergies, so I began to feed him lamb. It worked and he loved it! I decided to put my girls on it, too. Everyone loves it! I'd purchased 3 oz cans and they were great. I purchased the 5.5 oz cans recently. I opened the cans and in more than half the cans, it's mostly liquid! Only half the can is solid food. It's a waste of money! Not worth it even though my cats like the lamb.

The ingredients all seem to be very good but my finicky cats sniff it & while one tries to bury it, the other one walks away. After looking closely at the ingredients i thought this was strictly lamb but it also contains Turkey, my cats do not touch Turkey. You can't get nothing by cats! Thank you chewy for the refund I don't know what I would have done with an entire case of food my cats wouldn't eat.
