Instinct Split Cups Flaked Chicken Entrée Wet Cat Food
Know Before You Buy
- Animal proteins in this recipe: Chicken (chicken broth, chicken, chicken liver), egg product, menhaden fish oil.
- Contains: Chicken ... Egg ... Fish (fish oil) ... Peas ... Flaxseed ... Gums (guar, cassia, xanthan) ... Natural flavor (source not stated).
- Does not contain: Turkey, beef, pork, dairy, grains or potatoes (per the manufacturer's ingredient list).
- Broth first, and thickened with gums. Chicken broth leads the list, as is typical for a flaked-in-gravy texture, and guar, cassia and xanthan gum thicken the gravy.
- Life stage: Adult maintenance only. Instinct's label says this recipe meets the AAFCO Cat Food Nutrient Profiles for maintenance, so it isn't formulated as a kitten's main food.
Flaked chicken in gravy, grain-free, in Instinct's Split Cup format. Split Cups are Instinct's snap-apart, peel-and-serve portions, so you can serve a fresh meal each time with no half-used can in the fridge.
What's actually in it
Chicken broth, chicken and chicken liver lead, with egg product adding a little more protein. Spinach, carrots and dried ground peas are the vegetables, and menhaden fish oil and ground flaxseed add omega fatty acids.
The gravy is thickened with guar gum, cassia gum and xanthan gum, and a natural flavor is included. Dried kelp and a small fruit and vegetable blend finish the list.
Who it suits, and who it doesn't
It suits a cat who prefers flaked textures with gravy and does well on chicken. It's an easy fresh topper over kibble too.
It isn't right for a cat avoiding chicken, egg or fish. If you're unsure, our Personal Pet Consultant is happy to help ... call 732-938-4470.

AAFCO statement
Instinct® Flaked Real Chicken Entree in Gravy is formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the AAFCO Cat Food Nutrient Profiles for maintenance.
Calorie content
ME = 882 kcal/kg; 33 kcal/serving (calculated)
Instinct gives calories and feeding amounts per serving. By Instinct's own figures a serving works out to about 1.3 oz, which is one side of the 2.64 oz Split Cup, so each Split Cup is two servings.
Feeding guidelines
Instinct's daily feeding guidelines, as printed on the label:
| Cat | Daily amount |
|---|---|
| Adults | Feed 5 ½ to 6 ¾ servings per 6-8 lbs of body weight per day. |
Ideal feeding amounts depend on age, weight, and activity level. Refrigerate any unused portion.
The label gives adult amounts only, and this recipe is formulated for adult maintenance.
Treat the label as a starting point. Serve at room temperature, split the day's amount into meals, and always keep fresh water out. If you feed wet alongside kibble, trim both so the day's total doesn't creep up. 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.

Switching over
Change foods gradually over about a week. Start with roughly a quarter Instinct Split Cups Flaked Chicken mixed into the old food, move to half, then three quarters, then all Instinct Split Cups Flaked Chicken. Cats can be particular, so if yours hesitates, slow down rather than skipping ahead. Going slowly gives your cat's stomach time to adjust.
Sizes, and how long a case lasts
2.64 oz Split Cups, sold as a single cup or a 12-pack. Each Split Cup is two servings, so a 12-pack is 24 servings. At Instinct's 5 ½ to 6 ¾ servings a day for a 6 to 8 lb adult cat, a 12-pack lasts roughly 4 to 4 days fed on its own. If you feed it alongside kibble, it will last longer.
Storage
Each split cup is a single portion, so there's usually nothing left over. If there is, Instinct's direction is to refrigerate the unused portion... cover it and use it within a few days. Keep unopened cups somewhere cool and dry.
