Instinct makes it grain-free and complete and balanced for all life stages, so it works as a full meal and not just a treat on top.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's actually in it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eChicken does the heavy lifting here: chicken broth, chicken and chicken liver are the first three ingredients. Egg product follows. Dried ground peas add plant protein, and Instinct folds in spinach, carrots, pumpkin, tomato, broccoli, cranberries, blueberries, kale and parsley. Menhaden fish oil and ground flaxseed supply omega fatty acids, and guar, cassia and xanthan gums are what give the gravy its body. Montmorillonite clay is a natural clay often used as a binder in canned foods. There is no carrageenan in the recipe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it suits, and who it doesn't\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt suits most healthy cats, kittens included, that like a chunkier texture with gravy rather than a smooth pâté, and families who want a grain-free can. The small can makes it handy for a single cat, or as one meal of the day alongside dry food.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt isn't the right can for a cat avoiding chicken, egg or fish. A cat with a known pea sensitivity should skip it too.

Refrigerate any unused portion. Your cat should always have access to clean fresh water.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThink of this as a starting point. Kittens, and cats that are pregnant or nursing, usually need more, and if you also feed dry food, cut back the cans to match. Check your cat's body condition after two or three weeks... ribs easy to feel under a thin layer, a waist visible from above... and adjust. Always keep fresh water out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSwitching over\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eChange foods gradually over about a week. Start with roughly a quarter Flaked Chicken Entrée mixed into the old food, move to half, then three quarters, then all Flaked Chicken Entrée. Going slowly gives your cat's stomach time to adjust.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSizes, and how long a case lasts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe carry single 3 oz cans and cases of 24. Following Instinct's guide of 2½ to 3 cans per day for a cat in the 6 to 8 lb range, a case of 24 lasts about 8 to 9 days. Cats eating some dry food alongside will make a case last longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eStorage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStore unopened cans somewhere cool and dry. Instinct recommends feeding at room temperature and refrigerating any unused portion.
