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

I purchased this because we have a rescue that has discovered the love of food. She is apparently making up for the first 2 years of her life that weren't so great. We got quite a stern lecture from the vet because she has gained almost 2 lbs (!) in the year we have had her, and is starting to look like a weeble wobble with legs. I did some research and this food was one of the most highly recommended for weight loss. She still begs for food every time a human walks into the kitchen, but she loves this food and has transitioned very rapidly from the old kibble. Our other cats like it too, unfortunately, since that makes it hard to judge how much she has eaten and the boys are supposed to be on I purchased this because we have a rescue that has discovered the love of food.

This food is a solid hit, though, so I would recommend it for any picky eaters! … more

I'd been slowly switching my two sweet fat boys from Ultimate Protein to Healthy Weight. Within 2 weeks of me going to 75% Healthy Weight, one of them developed cystitis and the other, full blown urethra blockage. Whatever this is, it apparently leads to high urine pH. Too bad because I really like the brand.

I was looking for a high fiber option. This brand is more than I would normally spend and I don’t think it was worth it. My cat likes the kibble portion but is repulsed by the “protein boosts.” Whenever she smells them she jerks her head back. I just throw them out. I know they’re not meant for me but I also think they have a strange smell. We’ll finish out this bag but I won’t buy this kind again. May give the brand another try if I can find one without these boosts.

My cats love this food. They run to be first to the bowl in order to get the "marshmallows". They just love the freeze-dried raw bits. Since they are indoor cats it also helps keep them at a reduced weight.

After a year of having our cat on a "diet" he gained another pound and now tops out at a healthy 18# - yes, he is a big cat, but probably about 3-4 lbs overweight. Our vet gave us several recommendations and I'm pleased with how things are going so far. He loves the little tasty bits and does pick those out first. But he seems to get full more easily, appetite has decreased and he's not acting like he is starving all the time. Now we'll see if we can slowly get a little of the excess weight off.

1 of two cats approve. Other cat will eat anything though. Picky cat went on hunger strike. I do like this brand though, so I was very surprised by the result. Going back to other food.

My chubby "dumpster cat" loves this food and it's helped her shed quite a bit of weight. When we adopted another cat we switched their food to a mix to accommodate the new cat but my chubby gal got really bloated and uncomfortable. So we separated their food and just deal with the struggle at feeding times. This food doesn't make her bloat up like lower quality foods & she has plenty of energy, we're gonna stick with Instinct for our gal!

Sadly...He doesn't like the chicken pellets at all. I am saving them for my daughters cat. I am not going to order this type next time.

I have 2 one-year-old cats who are spoiled rotten, I only try to feed them the best. This one is on the pricier side but they seem to love it. Our boy cat, Barney, loves the little raw pieces. I have to steal a handful to give to Allie or she won't get any. I wish the kibbles were a bit bigger but still, I just ordered this again because now they are "complaining" because we ran out and I got them something else from the supermarket. (By complaining, I mean they meow at me even though there are some kibbles left in the bowl.)

I needed to find my overweight kitty some low calorie kibble . And eureka she ate this kibble .
