Review: This was the brand the Cattery used to feed the adults and kittens and came so highly recommended, I thought hey - I have been using this wet canned food to compliment the dry Nutro brand food I feed my two Sphynx cats. This was the brand the Cattery used to feed the adults and kittens and came so highly recommended, I thought hey . . . why fix what isn't broken. You can find lower priced foods, but the key here is . . . Instinct is Grain Free. Other foods are less expensive because "Fillers" are added to reduce cost. My Sphynx cats are known for their very high metabolism and require quality nutrition for their health. I could you a cheaper and lower quality food, but I'm sure I would find that they would just eat even more of the cheaper food and fill up their litter box even quicker, and the smell would likely be worse. I have been very pleased with Instinct cat food, yes I wish it cost less, but I am most likely saving a little bit on the dry food cost, as they will consume less of the dry by supplementing twice a day with the wet food. In addition, most Catteries and Veterinarians will recommend at least one serving a day of wet food to keep the stools moist. OK . . . a little gross, but dry stools are not going to help out your cats health. I paid quite a bit for my two Sphynx, I'm not going to skimp on their health by purchasing sub-standard food. I believe Instinct is one of the very best quality foods you can buy in the medium-high price range. There are even more expensive foods out there, but I don't believe you need to spend the extra $'s, this food is of very high consistent quality. I heat up unused portions in the microwave for about 15 seconds so my Boys always get a hot meal served on a throw-away paper plate. Right out of a room temp can, I heat for about 5 seconds. I buy the Chicken flavor as it is much lower in cost, but I may spring for a case of the Duck or Lamb just to change things up a bit. A friend brought over a small can of the Duck and my Boys wolfed it down, you could tell they loved it. I will definitely watch out for any sales or promotions, but so far haven't seen any. Buy this food, you will be glad you did. Review: Finally, good wet food on first attempt - My cat loves it! I am also pleased with the ingredients and quality. There's lots of nutrients in these cans. The size is perfect as well, and soft enough to scoop out easily, without mess. He's a picky eater, and I'm so glad this switch was easy to make. He eats it all happily and without fuss. ## Features - HIGH PROTEIN CAT FOOD: Features cage-free chicken as the first ingredient, delivering high-quality animal protein for strong, lean muscles - CANNED CAT FOOD WITHOUT FILLERS: Made without gums, grain, potato, corn, wheat, soy, artificial colors, or preservatives - RAW INSPIRED WET CAT FOOD: Made with 95% chicken, turkey & chicken liver and 5% vegetables, fruits, and other wholesome ingredients, delivering a nutrient-dense recipe - PICKY EATER APPROVED: Smooth, hearty pate texture provides the flavor and moisture your feline craves - CRAFTED IN THE USA: Made in the USA with the finest ingredients from around the world for a wholesome, complete diet ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B005HUVYBW | | ASIN | B005HUVYBW | | Additional Features | Weight ManagementGrain Free | | Age Range Description | All Life Stages | | Allergen Information | Gluten Free, Soy Free, Wheat Free | | Animal Food Diet Type | Veterinary Diet | | Animal Food Ingredient Claim | No Artificial Colors | | Animal Food Nutrient Content Claim | High Protein | | Best Sellers Rank | #842 in Pet Supplies ( See Top 100 in Pet Supplies ) #52 in Canned Cat Food | | Brand Name | Instinct | | Breed Recommendation | All Breed Sizes | | Container Type | Can | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 4.0 out of 5 stars (1,983) | | Date First Available | August 18, 2011 | | Department | cat-wet-food | | Flavor | Chicken | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00769949507017 | | Included Components | One (1) Case of 12 5.5 oz.

My name is Cait and I work with Nature's Variety. We craft our recipes to be as close to our pet's natural diets as possible. Our Instinct Original can recipes are all 95% meat and organ meat, with 5% fruits, vegetables and other wholesome ingredients. Just like in the wild, this recipe is mostly animal proteins giving cats the amino acids they need to truly thrive. The other 5% (flaxseed and carrots included) represents what would be found in the prey's stomach in the wild, giving cats some of the essential nutrition they need. That being said, while we try to keep our recipes as close to our pets' natural diets as possible, we also need to keep our recipes compliant with the AAFCO nutrient profiles and regulations. I recommend that you check out our website, www.instinctpetfood.com, to see all the raw and raw-inspired options we offer for cats! **Q: my cat is over weight, which can product would be best for him to loose weight? also low calorie/no gravies.** A: Going for low carb foods are a good start. Avoid foods with gravy or fillers like soy, wheat, rice, and potato. Wet foods are great for a cat, and their bodies need the moisture. Chewy has American Journey canned food which is a good quality for the price, but avoid foods with fish in them. **Q: All the nature's variety wet cat food instinct products list 'dried kelp' in the ingredients, isn't this basically what carrageenan is? =/** A: I suppose it's the raw form of seaweed, rather than the processed extraction. My cat has IBD and tolerates this food very well. **Q: How many cans come in the 3oz or 5.5oz package deal that amazon is selling? I can't find a number.** A: 5.5 oz comes with 12 cans ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This was the brand the Cattery used to feed the adults and kittens and came so highly recommended, I thought hey *by M***S on December 17, 2015* I have been using this wet canned food to compliment the dry Nutro brand food I feed my two Sphynx cats.

There's lots of nutrients in these cans. The size is perfect as well, and soft enough to scoop out easily, without mess. He's a picky eater, and I'm so glad this switch was easy to make. He eats it all happily and without fuss. ### ⭐ It was lit, Nature's Variety. *by C***Y on November 25, 2014* EDIT 3: After running out of cans, I ran to my local Petco. Once again, NV caused my cat to vomit, albeit I gave them one final chance and figured there may have been some soap left over from washing his plate. After testing my theory with a paper plate and getting the same result, I've finally given up on this brand. The numerous times I've had my kitty get sick from bad batches has made me lose my trust in this brand, especially since they rarely ever recall food despite numerous people complaining on amazon. I fed him tuna after the last 2 NV cans made him sick, low and behold he didn't vomit! Poor thing was starving. I've temporarily switched him to Wellness striped chicken and he hasn't thrown up. I advise anyone looking to buy this brand to look elsewhere. The company never replied to complaints on amazon right up until recently when numerous 1 star reviews started appearing. I still have the 2 empty sealed cans they packaged. One would assume numerous bad batches would imply amazon doesn't keep these properly stored, but if Petco is having bad batches too I am to assume either this brand has an ingredient that causes a reaction, or QC is slipping at NV which is very likely. Sayonara Nature's Variety, it was lit. EDIT 2: Got another empty can in my orders, this is starting to get ridiculous. Quality check is slipping at NV, you can't ask NV for compensation from their mistakes as they'll tell you to ask for a refund/replacement from your vendor. Yeah, because Amazon is seriously going to give you your money back for 1-3 empty cans or send an entire order to replace the rouge cans. Very disappointing customer service at NV, they happily send out free samples but no replacement for obvious factory duds? I paid for 24 cans not 22. EDIT: As of September and October I can no longer rate Instinct 4 stars, it's dropped to one. Being a faithful customer to Natures Variety since 2011 I've seen the inconsistencies between batches. I've seen cans come full, others quite full of gravy but moderate amounts of meat, to atrociously dented cans while the food remained intact and healthy. Whenever my little guy would eat instinct regardless of the flavor he would gobble it up. If he ever were to throw up it was his own fault for not taking it so slow. Not this time. I received packages from amazon, after my mailman lost my package once then delivered it to the wrong address, and one package had 2 rouge cans in one batch of 3 oz case of 24 chicken. One can had no label and the other was hollow! They actually delivered me a can that had no food in it but was sealed! By no means is this Amazons fault, both these batches were sealed by the factory. The other batch, a best by date of June 03,2018 had gone bad. The entire 24 cases were gray colored instead of the usual pink/brown you'd see. It had a bit of a pâté consistency. Absolutely no gravy whatsoever, and when trying to cut it up for my little guy it felt like the meat had gone bad at the factory before shipping. A very spongy texture. My cat ate a bit and had a reaction to it. He wouldn't stop licking his face and started to throw up. I figured it might have just been that one can but opening another one revealed the same thing. He refuses to eat them and would rather starve than eat that specific batch. I still had some cans from a previous shipment left over and he would happily eat those, they contain the old style of gravy/meat. I'm not sure if NV changed the formula or if this is a bad batch, but I'm willing to bet my money its a bad batch. I've sent a complaint to NV and encourage anyone else with bad batches to complain as well. Very good quality canned food. I had purchased this 3 years ago when I adopted a severely underweight kitten. This helped him recover to a healthy weight and he can't get enough of this food! The gravy may be inconsistent from batch to batch but overall should be there. The only thing I'm wondering is what caused Nature's Variety to increase the price. To the more exotic flavors I could understand but there's no shortage of beef nor chicken. Why the jumps in prices? The limited ingredients versions would be understandable but not this one. In their defense it hasn't increased exponentially to my knowledge lately, is it a union thing? ## Frequently Bought Together - Instinct Original Grain Free Real Chicken Recipe Natural Wet Canned Cat Food, 5.5 Ounce (Pack of 12) - Original Chicken Dry Cat Food, 5 lb.
