Instinct Raw Boost Grain-Free Recipe with Real Chicken & Freeze-Dried Raw Coated Pieces Dry Cat Food

I'm changing my two kitties diet to one that is nutritionally sound. It is a brilliant idea to have little freeze-dried raw tidbits running through their main kibble diet. My guys prefer dry. To my surprise, they have taken a few bites out of this brand new kibble. I have to be patient, because you need to segue into a new food with about 7 full days of gradual change! This takes patience! So I also bought additional "toppers" of the freeze-dried raw pieces which I add to the kibble as well! I have high hopes that my finicky guys will eventually end up loving this new food. I will continue to pray I have the patience to continually work with the changeover without giving up!

My boy likes A LOT of variety so I decided to try this. He instantly loved it, which isn't uncommon. Whatever is new he loves a few days. I'm glad to have it in his rotation. My only complaint is there were very few of the raw pieces. I'd have given it 5 stars if it had a decent amount. The raw pieces are the consistency of all the other dehydrated raw.

So we've been feeding Instinct brand foods (Specifically the Raw Boost Chicken) to our cats for over half a decade, now, and they all love it. One of our cats even chooses this kibble over the wet food that we also buy from Instinct. Now, admittedly, my cats always pick out the freeze dried bits first, then come back for the rest as the day goes on, but I figure it's just like two years olds with Lucky Charms... they want to eat the marshmallows first. Anyway, we love this brand, and so do our cats. :)

I have 2 cats. I usually feed them Freedom and they love it. But I thought i will give them something new for fun. So I tried this. Both throw up few hours after they ate first time. After that, one never even want to be near it. The other cat loves to eat and she eats ANYTHING. So, i gave her again to see if she will like this this time. She throw up again. I thought maybe because she ate too fast. Let's try one more time. 3rd time, she throw up again. My both cats are super healthy & never throw up. So, I realize that they both can't have this cat food. I don't know what cause them to throw up, but i cant do this to my cats anymore...so this bag needs to go. Wasn't too cheap, so I have 2 cats.

We have 3 cats. 2 of them will not eat it at all. One really likes the white pieces but the rest of it..... not so much. When I mixed it in with their regular dried food they would not eat from that bowl at all.

I was using another food. It was a freeze dried raw food. It was great but very expensive and in very small bag. I decided to try this food. My cat likes it a lot but it doesn’t have enough freeze dried raw bites. I will order the freeze dried bite treats from this brand and add them to the food. I still would recommend it for your kitty.

My cats get a mostly wet food diet because I want to make sure they get enough liquid since they really don’t drink a lot of water. So I leave a little dry food down that I change out daily for them to nibble on through out the day between their morning and night wet food feedings. I’m not a big brand switcher but with dry food I’ve always been able to try new things and they usually snack on it it all just fine. Then I tried this and they seemed to eat it more than any other dry food... then I tried another brand that they have eaten before because it was on sale and they wouldn’t touch it. So I went back to this brand. Turns out they only love this dry food now!

I was looking to switch brands after I found out the brand I was feeding my cats had been recalled for quality issues. I was afraid they would turn up their noses. But when I put down the first bowl they ate like they have been starved for a week! Later that night they bit a hole in the bag to get some more! I can pronounce all the ingredients and understand what they are. I love my cats and I feel confident giving them this food. Love hearing them purrr when I open the bag!

After doing some research I switched my cats to this food from a food that I thought was top of the line and I am amazed at the noticable difference. My cats coats are shinier, silkier, and they seem to scratch less. My cat with sinus issues seems a little better as well. My black cat is black again rather than dull dark gray/brown. The only problem is my black cat eats ALL the chicken pieces before the other even has a chance and then he cries to be fed when there is still kibble but no chicken pieces. He is a spoiled brat though.

Looks like quality food. We have a lot of cats and they all choose any dry food over this one. Have another bag of the rabbit flavor. Have not tried it yet.
