18 Customer Questions
Why are there so many meal products in this food?
Answer by • Apr 01, 2021
Meal is a dried and more concentrated form of the mammal, poultry, or fish protein. This is essentially meat with the moisture removed. If you feed a high-quality kibble like Instinct with chicken meal as the first ingredient, your cat is getting all of the benefits of this highly digestible protein. It is important to make sure the meal is protein specific and not generic like meat meal or by-product meal, which by definition can contain any species or part of the animal.
What is the food coated with? I’m new to raw diets so the name is a bit confusing
Answer by • Apr 25, 2022
First Instinct freezes their raw recipes and then it is freeze dried (to remove the moisture naturally found in food). The freeze-dried raw food is then ground into a powder. After the kibble is made it is tumbled with a topical oil and the freeze dried raw food which allows it to stick. This tumbling is done after the kibble is cooked, so the coating is still raw.
Why is Tapioca used in this food? Does Tapioca have any Nutritional benefits for Cats?
Answer by • Aug 13, 2019
Tapioca is a starch derived from the root of the cassava plant. It is a unique, 98% digestible, grain-free, gluten-free starch source that serves as a natural binder and nutritious ingredient in their Instinct Kibble Diets.
