My cats all like this food and I like the ingredients and quality of this food. One of my boys gets soft stools and this food has helped to eliminate that. I had previously started it on an IBD kitty on this food and she did very well on it.

This food use to be really good for our cats and we had them on the kitten one before transitioning them to the adult food over 2 years ago and recently something has changed and our cats are now having stomach issues and diarrhea consistently with this food. I don’t know what they changed but I do not recommend this food anymore unfortunately :(

Our cat loves this flavor of Instinct. He was eating the chicken flavor but that became unavailable so we tried this rabbit flavor and he loves it even more. I can't seem to keep it in his bowl.

Salem loves it!!

Salem loves the rabbit cat food. Pretty much ignores the other dry cat food. The other cats enjoy it too, but are happy with the other dry cat food

The kibble is a really dark brown!

One of our cats has developed an allergy. No fleas here, too dry I guess so I thought he probably has a food allergy. I want to eliminate chicken, corn and grain

One of our cats has developed an allergy. No fleas here, too dry I guess so I thought he probably has a food allergy. I want to eliminate chicken, corn and grain. Now I wait and see.

Quick shipping, and as ordered

My cats don't care for this flavor, but that isn't reflective on Chewy or Instinct. My cats just prefer other flavors.

Cat loves it but bad for poops

My cat loves this stuff but when she’s on this, she’s constantly constipated. Little dry poops. We switched foods and her poop is fine.
