"Karma Luna loves Instinct cat foods. She likes the variety of flavors; I like the quality and that it smells like human’s food and not cat food"

β€” Laurie

"They use to like this food and I liked that it has limited ingredients. But they started eating only a small amount of it so I stopped getting it. Decided to try again but they wouldn't eat any of it.Also noticed it's more soupy so maybe they changed the recipe but they didn't want any part of it so..."

Bottom Line

If your cat has specific dietary needs or is picky, this food might not be the best choice. Consider trying a sample before purchasing a full case.
