"Of all the cat food she has tried and of all the flavors, this is her absolute favorite. We must have this on hand at all times."
"My 16 year old toothless cat liked the first can so I bought a case. Lol .. he won’t touch it now. He likes very moist food with juice or gravy he can lick. While I think Instinct is a good brand, the canned lamb was just a bit too dense and dry for my fussy old cat."
Bottom Line
This lamb recipe receives varied feedback and should be given with consideration for pet-specific preferences.
