Instinct Flaked · Real Tuna Entree
Wet food · Adult Maintenance
Furry PI's verdict
Instinct Flaked holds up well under the magnifying glass. After the broth, tuna is first in line — the right start for an obligate carnivore. It isn't flawless — it contains egg product. Even so, the overall picture is good for everyday feeding.
What's concerning
- Contains egg product, a lower-quality ingredient.
What works
- After the broth, tuna is first in line — the right start for an obligate carnivore.
- As a wet food, it delivers the moisture cats rarely drink on their own.
- Carbohydrate load stays close to what a cat would eat in nature.
