Instinct Ultamate Cat Food
Quality of cat food is a 10. My cat’s health and hair has improved since she started eating this. Her 💩 isn’t as stinky. Starr is in love with the duck. And most importantly is that the food is made in USA.🇺🇸

10/10
I bought this cat food for my ferrets and for my kittens. So far they are both eating it and they seem to like it. I bought it bc it is a lot healthier for my ferrets than what I have been getting them. It’s a big bag and has good quality ingredients. If you have a ferret I would recommend this. I have a hard time to get them to eat certain foods but they actually eat this.

Cat's Favorite, But Need Larger 10 lb / Lower Cost
My older cat, "Inga", having survived an I-131 radiation treatment for hyperthyroid and is holding on with stage 2 kidney disease (when it rains it pours :( ), loves the Instinct Ultimate Protein Duck Recipe. Like another here, the chicken recipe version simply doesn't appeal to her. So, for the last two years, I have been routinely forking out now approaching $40 bucks for a 5 lb bag. Nothing larger and/or bulk discount has been made available to consumers. Why not? Could a representative from "InstinctPetFood.com" or "Nature's Valley" - distributor, please, take a moment to explain why only 5 lb bags are for sale (whereas, the chicken recipe comes in a 10lb option, too, at an appreciable savings? Other than cost, no other kibble seems to entice so much as the Duck recipe. Seems to be the perfect kibble but at a rather painful to the average pocket price.

This stuff is simply amazing
This is unbelievable. I adopted a kitten 4 months ago when he was 7 weeks old. The shelter sent me with medicine for what they told me was irritable bowel disease; they said he would have diarrhea the rest of his life. Long story short he has had watery poop and while pooping a bunch of farts. Horrible smell even 40 feet away. I tried all sorts of food hoping I could fix it, I nearly gave up because I tried purina pro plan kitten I tried iams kitten I tried nulo freestyle kitten I tried purina one plus I tried halo and wellness brands and nutro, then I said well I guess it’s true I ll have to use tons of litter and smell this poop for the rest of our life together. I decided to read up on foods the other night and came across this with absolutely no MEAL or other junk cars don’t need. No lie in 2 serving of this food I scooped out a solid piece of poo! It has been 2 days and I have gotten solid pieces every time! He also used to go poop 15-25 times a day depending on the day and in 2 days he has only pooped 6 times. I will be buying this the rest of our life together thank you to this company and also thank you to the lady who left a review that had a kitten just like mine

Yes!
My 14 years old cat always ate duck flavour Instinct food, but the less expensive version. Then I tried this one, and her appetite got so much better. Yes, it is very expensive, but I decided she deserves to be spoiled in her golden years. She is very healthy and I intend to keep her this way as long as possible.

Best phosphorus count
Our cats vet gave us a max. phosphorus count for food due to a suspected kidney condition. This is the only dry food that meets it. Our cat doesn't love the flavor but he eats a small amount at night. This is a pretty pricey food so that Works well both for balance (cats should eat mainly wet food) and budget. We really appreciate finding a dry food that support cats' health. If you are looking for a calorie boost for your cat who is eating a healthy wet food diet, this is is a good choice for a supplemental snack.

Good Protein Compared to Most
I like that they have duck and are relatively high protein, mostly from animal sources. It is expensive and I ended up switching to Dr. Elsey's cleanprotein because that is 58% protein with comparable percentage from animal sources. Unfortunately Dr. Elsey's is only available online and currently being price gouged on Amazon (but not Chewy's). This stuff is a good fallback, and cheaper on here than in stores, but usually available in stores for emergency runs.
