Instinct Original Grain-Free Recipe with Real Chicken Freeze-Dried Raw Coated Dry Cat Food

My 2 ladies are fussy. Their preferred food is Instinct Ultimate Protein chicken but it was out of stock so I tried this. Unfortunately, they didn't like it so I ended up searching local pet stores to find their food. I'll be donating the 10lb bag.

There's nothing bad to say about this brad of food, or the flavor, for that matter. My cats chow down like there's no tomorrow (granted, they kinda do this with anything they can get their paws on)! I like that it has good, healthy ingredients for cats and feels like a brand you can trust.

First off, if you like the convenience of dry food, this is a better quality than any of the most popular big brand names! We choose to feed our cats Instinct canned recipes because of the process dry foods are subjected to. When we began feeding primarily wet food, their water consumption dropped off significantly. Better said, they consumed a lot of water with all dry foods! We have one cat that prefers dry food, but with that being said, all four of them will inhale this dry! They will eat any of the Instinct brand foods whether it's canned or dry. By now our cats have had nearly all of the canned flavors and the Chicken and also the Duck in the dry. There is that one thing!! The dry food First off, if you like the convenience of dry food, this is a better quality than any of the most popular big brand names!

I did a lot of looking around when it came to choosing a dry food for my cat and this seemed to be the best one. I’m so glad I picked this because she loves it and I’m going to continue to buy in the future.

This is the second attempt at purchasing a cat food with small kibble that my cat will eat. I have failed again. Initially I thought she would eat it, but she's actually eating around it because I mixed it with the current food as typically prescribed. The size of the kibble is tiny and therefore excellent but somehow not palatable to my princess. I know Chewy reads their reviews, and I am therefore reaching out for some assistance as you have offered previously for a better dry cat food choice. In the meantime I will donate this bag of food as I did the last one I tried. Back to the drawing board... But grateful to Chewy for the broad selection of pet food from which to try.

Smells like a hamster cage. Neighborhood stray cat won't touch it. Even the opossums and raccoons won't eat it. The squirrels like it.

I was looking for a wholesome dry cat food to replace a very expensive wholesome dry cat food. This has all of the same ingredients and is less expensive. I mix it in with their wet food and they love it. Can't ask for better than that!

My vet recommended switching to a “mammal” diet after my young cat started displaying gross symptoms that he is allergic to chicken. This Instinct Rabbit dry food, coupled with the Instinct Minced Rabbit wet food, quickly made a noticeable difference in his well-being! My other two cats are also eating this food happily, though it did take a couple of weeks for one to warm up to it. The cost of this food is a little high for our household, but it’s worth every penny to provide what is essentially preventative medicine in the form of food. Even in a metro area with several pet supply stores within driving distance, this food is scarce on the shelves, so I’m immensely grateful that, though Chewy My vet recommended switching to a “mammal” diet after my young cat started displaying gross symptoms that he is allergic to chicken.

This is the first freeze dried meat that my cat will eat. He was a rescue from a college campus and it's been a struggle to get him to eat better food than Friskies.

My cat used to love this. But she wouldn’t touch any of the recent bag I bought. Seems like the formula changed. I compared the old kibble with the new one I bought. They look different. In the picture, the left one is from old bag. Right one is from new bag.
