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.
