— Lucienne

"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."

— Carol

"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.
