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.

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.

Our cats love it!
This is the only dry food our cat will eat. And it doesn’t give him diarrhea. This company makes great food. I would recommend it for picky cats. It’s a bit expensive but worth it. Smell isn’t too strong but they will come running for it! Can is easy to open.

good food but not best price
Reliable cat food with good quality and nutrition. It is one of my cat’s routine foods. But the price here is not always the best.

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.

Yummy
I think this is a good product as my 1 year old Maine Coon gobbles it down. The chicken smells fine I haven’t tried the fish one yet. that will be our next order.

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!

Es muy buen producto. Probé con taste of the wild y también orijen; y creo que instinct está mejor balanceado tanto en calidad y precio. Tiene muy buenos ingredientes que aportan buena cantidad de proteína y tiene un precio muy competitivo comparado con las otras dos marcas. Además, es más fácil de conseguir, al menos aquí en México. Parece que tienen un rico sabor, ya que mi gato siempre deja el plato limpio (cosa que a veces no pasaba con las otras marcas). Y bueno, él está muy fuerte, saludable, siempre tiene energía para jugar, no está gordo (no hay que darle alimento de más), su pelaje brilla mucho y siempre se ve hermoso. Recomiendo estas croquetas.

My cat has loved the food and it’s really good quality
Good afternoon! Why do you claim that the product has a size of 24 cm and in fact 14 cm? –
The food is good, but almost half of the package was like powder, so I do not recommend buying this product.
