Furry PI's verdict

Instinct Split Cups Flaked earns its grade honestly. After the broth, chicken 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.
  • A modest share of calories comes from protein.

What works

  • After the broth, chicken 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.
