Original Chicken, Wet Canned Cat Food for Kittens, 3 oz (Case of 24)

Typical size and pretty good calorie content. Ingredients seem good, and Instinct is generally a high quality brand. However, my kitten simply doesn’t like eating it. He’ll take a couple bites and then just leave it…nothing I can do

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.

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.

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.

Great Buy!
