It's Instinct's shelf-stable alternative to canned food... no high-heat processing, and you decide on the texture, from thick to soupy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's actually in it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRabbit is the first ingredient, and rabbit liver, kidney and lung appear further down. Chicken, chicken heart and chicken liver come in at second through fourth, so chicken is a big part of the protein. Ground flaxseed, pumpkin seeds and salmon oil bring fats and omega fatty acids. Ground miscanthus grass adds fiber, and carrots, apples, butternut squash, blueberries and spinach round it out. There are no peas, potatoes or grains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it suits, and who it doesn't\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt suits a healthy adult cat that likes pâté and enjoys rabbit, and families who want a raw option that lives in the pantry instead of the freezer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBecause of the chicken, it isn't a choice for a cat that needs to avoid chicken, and the salmon oil means it isn't fish-free. Instinct's AAFCO statement covers adult maintenance, so it isn't meant as the main food for a growing kitten.

Ideal amounts depend on age, weight and activity level. Split the day's amount into meals, mix each one fresh, and pick up anything left after 2 hours.
