Instinct Original Grain-Free Dry Kitten Food

We were impressed as soon as we started reading the nutrition label on the Instinct Original Grain-Free Dry Kitten Food. Of the five main ingredients used to make this recipe, four are animal-based protein sources. Chicken is listed as the primary ingredient, followed by turkey meal, then menhaden fish meal. As you can see, Instinct certainly didn’t cut any corners in regards to protein content, offering a diverse array of quality meat-based proteins that add up to a minimum of 42.5%.

Of course, protein isn’t all you’ll find in this food. It’s also loaded with ample quantities of DHA, taurine, and essential fatty acids that are necessary to keep your growing kitten in good health. The vitamins and minerals in this blend come primarily from whole-food sources instead of supplements, which makes them more easily digestible and usable by the body.

Since this is such high-quality cat food loaded with nutrients that will keep any kitten healthy, it’s no surprise that it’s also rather pricey. We think it’s worth the higher price, given the incredible nutrition this blend offers your kitten, so our only complaint is about the kibble bits, which are too large for some small kittens to eat.
