Instinct Original Kitten Pate Wet Cat Food, Grain Free - Real Chicken, 3 oz. Cans (Pack of 24)

I have 2 indoor ladies that would rather not eat if they don’t like the food I give them. My 9 month male eats it 1~2~3. I feed all the strays in my area( farms) and it is like they are telling all the other strays to come to my farm to eat. In other words all the indoor and outdoor cats eat here. Quality is great with no noticeable side effects from my group seen. . The indoor ones have never had diarrhea. All are fat and apparently healthy. Cost is reasonable.

I bought this for my kitten because it was the brand recommended by the breeder. She is a ragdoll and seems to really enjoy it.The price was competitive and having the option for auto ship makes it even more convenient. Definitely easier to keep stocked by ordering through Amazon.

Good! I bought this for my friends cat and she loves it

1. It always arrived very fast. If you're about to run out, I recommend it. It comes in secure packaging, no spills.2. The ingredients are very nutritious and not addictive like the majority of brands. My cats have been using it since day 1 and they have never had any health issues.3. My cats enjoy it and always finish their plates. As soon as I open a can, they come running!

In case anyone is wondering, the 2 sizes of wet food cans are the same product. For some reason the 3oz. can is listed as "Chicken Jerky" flavor. In fact, it is the same chicken recipe for kittens as the larger cans. Review: The quality seems very good, but it is expensive. Instinct is less pink than other brands I have used, but it smells just like other cat food to me. My 4-month-old kittens eat it up, just as they do every other food they've been given (Royal Canin Babycat, Fancy Feast Kitten, Purina One Healthy Kitten.) Currently they're getting this Instinct and the Purina One Healthy Kitten Chicken & Salmon Paté, and a very small amount of Instinct Kitten dry kibble. My kittens are strong, healthy, and active. The feeding guide at the Instinct website is very cool.

I recently started integrating this wet food into my cat's diet, mixing in small portions with the food she had been on before. Soon after, she started regurgitating her food. Went to the vet, got her on Royal Canin vet exclusive until she went several days without regurgitating, then started adding in 1) her previous wet food in small portions, then 2) this wet food in small portions. When mixing the Royal Canin with small portions of the other food (Purina Pro Plan), she was fine. No regurgitation. Today was the first day of mixing in a small portion of the Instinct with the Royal Canin, and a few minutes later, there was my cat, regurgitating all over the floor. Process of elimination suggests that she hurls every time she's fed this. I can almost understand why, as it's an incredibly unappealing looking food. Anyway, can't return it to Amazon, so it's going in the trash. I'm not even going to chance giving it away.

Pros: Super clean ingredients, helps with digestive issues.Cons: Very inconsistent formula. One can would be crumbly swimming in broth, while another would be super firm with hardly any broth around it. When it is crumbly, you can see the filler ingredients (peas and carrots). There is also no variety to choose from. I wish i could have switched up the flavors and textures for my kitten to see if she would prefer one over the other.This is the cleanest brand of kitten food i could find with no carrageenan, guar gum or xantham gum, and having real food like eggs vs dry egg product like other brands so of course i had to try. My kitten seemed to like it at first, but after a month she would eat less and less of it. She was having minor tummy issues (due to worms) and my vet suggested i try a different well known brand/prescription diet to make sure it wasnt the food. My poor baby went from random not fully formed stools to explosive diarrhea. I switched her back to instinct after a week and like magic, her stools were back to normal. Ive even purchased small bags of instincts digestive health probiotic kibble add on to help and it sure has. But even then, my kitten would barely eat the wet food, but she enjoys the dry food very much. Kittens and cats need a predominantly wet food diet, so only giving her kibble wont work. Ive decided on wet food from another brand and sticking with instincts kibble on days where im not home to feed her. I like the brand so much though that i will try again in the future when she is ready for adult food since they have more variety to choose from.

This is one of the very few wet cat foods that I’ve been able to find that actually has good ingredients. Yes there are still a couple things I’m not overly fond of but overall I think this is a great cat food and my baby cat loves it
