This food has helped our indoor cats so much. They were both getting sick on the normal store-bought food, so I talked to our local vet, and they mentioned Instinct Raw. I searched high and low in our rural community and finally found some to get them started until we could wait for a shipment from Chewy. This food has been a game-changer in the health of our wonderful fur babies.

Stale and not appetizing

I’ve bought this before and it was much better. This bag is dated 3/2025 and says it’s best used in less than a year. The food looks dried out and my cats won’t

I’ve bought this before and it was much better. This bag is dated 3/2025 and says it’s best used in less than a year. The food looks dried out and my cats won’t eat it. Not even the raw bits. What happened? Think it’s just not fresh and maybe has a tiny hole in the bag.

Rabbit as primary ingredient

Both cats are allergic to many ingredients but not rabbit. This food helps control their itching/scratching.

My cat refuses to eat it

It's just kibble with a few "raw" pieces thrown in

Grain free, rabbit

Purchased as substitute for our regular autoship order that was out of stock. Cats didn't like it as much.

Cats Favorite

My cat started to show signs of a chicken allergy and would scratch herself raw until I switched her to this rabbit based food and it cleared up and hasn’t happened

My cat started to show signs of a chicken allergy and would scratch herself raw until I switched her to this rabbit based food and it cleared up and hasn’t happened since. It’s been a couple years now and still her favorite food.

It looks like very good food and this rating is specific to my cat’s condition. Unfortunately my cat cannot tolerate this food and she experiences some I’ll affects for days after and I chose to discontinue after couple of uses.

Cats smelled, looked at me, walked away

I have 4 cats. 2 six year olds and 2 one year olds. I wanted to look for a new food with real ingredients and nothing that shouldn’t be in it. I kept trying again,

I have 4 cats. 2 six year olds and 2 one year olds. I wanted to look for a new food with real ingredients and nothing that shouldn’t be in it. I kept trying again, slowly adding to their current food. Not 1 of my 4 cats would not even try it. Disappointed as food was not inexpensive.
