Healthy Food That My Cat Eats Happily
I was hesitant to try this food at first because my cat is picky and I had just adopted her, so I didn’t yet know what she would like. She absolutely loved it and eats it with no problem. I feel good knowing it’s healthy, made with high-quality ingredients, real chicken, and no grains or harmful additives. I’m glad I gave it a try and will definitely keep buying it.

No more vomiting!
The quality of this cat food is great. It’s high in protein and lower in carbs and fillers, which is what cats need. My cat Poet and I (along with his vet) struggled for a long time finding a cat food that works for him that wouldn’t upset his stomach. This is the one that works best for us. He no longer is vomiting as frequently as he was and he’s much healthier and happier. I know this cat food is a little bit on the pricier side, but I do think it’s worth every penny. The only thing about this cat food I would warn about is that the recommended serving size on the bag is 60 more than the calories your cat should be getting in a day if you have an average sized cat. Which doesn’t seem like a lot, but it is for a cat and can cause them to gain a bit of weight. I haven’t had the issue with feeding the serving size to one of my cats, but the other one did gain weight and is now slightly overweight.

Saki the Siamese loves this food!
Saki the spoiled Siamese loves her dry crunchy kibble but she now loves this more than Tiki Cat. Amazon was out of her fish flavor so I did some research and found this cat food to be rated equally as good. I decided to try their chicken since the price was comparable and the first 4 ingredients in this product are meat products. Surprisingly their is also turkey meal and menhaden fish meal in the chicken recipe. The named fish meal is a great source of nutrients and omega fats. The protein content is 41%. All wholesome ingredients with no grain, potato, corn, soy or wheat. Nor does it contain artificial colors or preservatives. I like that it contains taurine for heart health and cranberries for urinary track health. Saki loves freeze dried turkey and it’s the 3rd listed meat. Instinct crushes and tumbles their freeze dried raw with their kibble, ensuring each piece contains a touch of raw coated food which they believe that real less processed whole raw foods the better. Saki has been eating this for a week and picks out this kibble from the mixed in Tiki Cat. The only ingredient I read anything controversial about was tapioca which has a high sugar content, but it’s a good grain substitute not known to cause allergies in pets. Cats are carnivores and this product is loaded with meat content. We have fed our Golden Instinct dog food and the Instinct brand rates very high by the animal review companies. It’s priced higher than some but not outrageous. Better quality food and ingredients will always cost more. You get what you pay for here. Highly recommend even if it’s just to switch brands occasionally for variety. Just be aware of the other non chicken meals if your cat has any food sensitivities or allergies.

Good not Great. Purina Better
This was a five star but We recently switched over to Purina and it is like night and day the quality. I'll give this 4 stars because it held us down for a year or two, but it could be a 3. Our cat sitter recommended Purina and I was skeptical. But, it's an overall better product just to smell of it it'll make you want to have a bowl yourself. But much love to instinct though.

Great
This is one of 2 cat kibbles that doesn't give our cat nasty poops. I've tried everything from cheap to really expensive food, probiotic/prebiotic. I suspect they have an issue with grain and legumes. It's hard to find legume (pea) free cat food that is also grain free. It is expensive compared to stuff like meow mix, but not as pricey as royal canine. The cats eat it just fine, no fussiness.

Nutri balance
I have had my cats eating this food for 6 months now. I haven’t seen them get sick or throw up any food after meals. There coat is softer and they are happier. Size is perfect, last my two cats about 1 month and half. Great quality from the fact my cats haven’t thrown up or gotten sick. Lean food as my cats also seem to become lean and muscular from the nutrition balance.

Great product with good ingredients and nutrients for kitten. Smaller sized kibble than my previous brand, it's good, good calories, fat and protein level. My kitten eats it!

A mis gatitas les encantó. Al principio les costó un poco de trabajo acostumbrarse pero después fueron su alimento favorito. Les ayuda muchísimo con el pelaje, también les ayuda a mantener su peso, y lo más importante ayuda a que sus heces fecales no sean tan apestosas. El único punto malo que le encuentro es que el alimento tiene un olor algo fuerte como a “mariscos”.

The food is good, but almost half of the package was like powder, so I do not recommend buying this product.
