Product Review: Instinct Wet Cat Food Cups

My dog says we're handing over the blog today to KitCat to review something for the kitties in the audience! Today's product? Instinct cat food cups. Meeeeoooow!

Mr. Catster wanted to test out the chicken recipe and what kitty wants, kitty gets! We tried the minced recipe, even though we weren't sure what their idea of minced might be. We've notice that word can vary according to the manufacturer.

Anyway, we were quite pleased to see the minced really was what we hoped a minced recipe would be. It was tiny bites, not chunks, with a nice balance of meat and gravy!

The first ingredients on this variety are chicken broth, chicken, chicken liver, egg whites and ground dried peas. It also includes an assortment of fruits and vegetables (some of which you can actually see in the food), including pumpkin, spinach, carrots, artichokes, blueberries, broccoli, cranberries, cabbage, tomato, kale, and parsley. Most importantly in our book, no grain.

This food is made in the U.S.A. and KitCat really liked it a LOT. Like sooooo much! Like, our top rating is four paws, but we need more paws than that. Like, a lot more.

Instinct comes in several different flavors and we'll definitely be trying them soon (Chewy has a lot of varieties in stock). In the meantime, the Instinct minced chicken in savory gravy is a total winner!

Product Review: Instinct by Nature's Variety Cat Food Trays

My dog says KitCat is excited to share his thoughts with you on Instinct's minced cat food. Made by Nature's Variety, we sampled the chicken recipe. Was it a hit or a miss? Let's see.

Ingredients:

Instinct by Nature's Variety minced cat food chicken recipe has a great ingredient list. The first five ingredients are chicken broth, chicken, chicken liver, egg whites, and ground dried peas. There are also an assortment of fruits and vegetables, including spinach, carrots, artichokes, cranberries, pumpkins, tomato, blueberries, broccoli, cabbage, kale, and parsley.

Usability:

Instinct comes in handy trays with foil tops. This makes feeding super simple.

As for the food itself, we really liked the minced meat. It was smaller than chunks and a good size for KitCat to eat easily. We split up the food and gave half for breakfast and half for dinner. If your cat is a big eater (or doesn't eat kibble as a supplement), giving the full serving would be a very filling meal.

Origin: 

Made in the U.S.A.

Cost: 

On chewy.com, the 3.5 ounce Instinct cat food cups are $21.48 for 12. It's a little pricey, but it's a good quality food, easy to use, and KitCat always licks his plate clean.

Rating:

KitCat really loves this food. He finishes every single bite of it and eats with enthusiasm. That's the best we can ever hope for, so we enthusiastically give this food four out of four paws!

Product Review: Instinct Raw Boost Mixers

My dog says we love simple ingredient foods. That's why we jumped at the chance to test out Instinct by Nature's Variety Raw Boost Mixers. What did the canine crew think of this dried food topper (they sure liked the smell of the bag!)? Let's get started...

Ingredients:

Although this is not a one ingredient food, it's still a simple ingredient recipe which we like. We tried the turkey flavor and were pleased to learn it is cage free turkey and the veggies and fruits are non GMO. There is no grain, potato, corn, wheat, soy, by-product meal, or artificial colors or preservatives, either.

We normally list the first five ingredients, but we're going to list them all this time since we think it's useful. The mixer includes turkey, turkey liver, pumpkin seeds, turkey heart, carrots, apples, butternut squash, ground flaxseed, montmorillonite clay, dried kelp, broccoli, mixed tocopherols, apple cider vinegar, salmon oil, rosemary extract, blueberries, and dried chicory root.

The mixers also come in other varieties including chicken, beef, and lamb.

Usability:

Since this is a dry nugget, it's very easy to use and takes no time to prepare. The mixer can be used to top kibble, wet food, and can even be used as a treat. The pieces are slightly different sizes, but are generally about the size of the first section of your pinky finger. Small dogs can also eat the pieces just fine since they're easy to chew and not hard like some other dried food products we've tried.

Origin:

Made in the United States.

Cost:

At chewy.com, the 6 ounce bag of The Instinct by Nature's Variety Raw Boost Mixers is currently $10.79 and the 14 ounce is $25.19. This price is in line with most freeze dried foods which always cost more than standard fare.

Rating:

The dogs just love this mixer! We used it as a topper for kibble and also as a treat. It's a solid four paws up, for sure!
