Review: Great dry food! - This cat food is really great! I seen on a few websites it was rated pretty high for good ingredients and digestion, so I decided to try it out. Before my cats were eating tiki cat, which also was a pretty solid choice but this one had more for less, and was more worth it in the end. I have a picky cat who also enjoys this, so if that says anything. My cats love it and I’m happy seeing them happy! :)
Review: No more vomiting! - The quality of this cat food is great. It’s high in protein and lower in carbs and fillers, which is what cats need. My cat Poet and I (along with his vet) struggled for a long time finding a cat food that works for him that wouldn’t upset his stomach. This is the one that works best for us. He no longer is vomiting as frequently as he was and he’s much healthier and happier. I know this cat food is a little bit on the pricier side, but I do think it’s worth every penny. The only thing about this cat food I would warn about is that the recommended serving size on the bag is 60 more than the calories your cat should be getting in a day if you have an average sized cat. Which doesn’t seem like a lot, but it is for a cat and can cause them to gain a bit of weight. I haven’t had the issue with feeding the serving size to one of my cats, but the other one did gain weight and is now slightly overweight.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Why have you changed the formula,  redefining it as better (NOT),  when there is less protein and less meat with harsh peas added ?**
A: This person is CORRECT! Any kind of PEA is not good for cats or dogs. Lentils not good either! Our pets lifespan has shortened over the century or so manufactures need to provide us with better food so our pets can live with us longer. Our pets are like family members we want them around as long as possible!

**Q: Why do you add menadione sodium bisulfite complex to your food? i'm switching brands to nulo.**
A: Hi there- When we updated our packaging in 2017, we increased the amount of fish ingredients in many of our recipes as a natural source of essential fatty acids. With this, we were required by AAFCO to increase our Vitamin K levels. The best way to provide the Vitamin K required on a consistent basis, while also maintaining a high level of meat ingredients that meet our raw nutrition philosophy, was to use Menadione Sodium Bisulfite Complex (MSBC), the only Vitamin K3 supplement that has no objection for use in pet food by the FDA. Because the level of naturally-occurring Vitamin K varies drastically in other natural ingredients, we supplement our food with Menadione Sodium Bisulfite Complex to be compliance with AAFCO’s new rules and to guarantee the we are providing the correct level of Vitamin K at all times. We only use it in the recipes where it is necessary due to the high amount of fish ingredients!

**Q: Does anyone know the carbohydrate percentage?**
A: Suggest you reach out to manufacturer for composition and specific answer.

**Q: What percent of fiber is in this?**
A: Hi Kara, the as-fed amount of fiber in this recipe is 3%. Thanks!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Saki the Siamese loves this food!
*by G***0 on March 12, 2023*

Saki the spoiled Siamese loves her dry crunchy kibble but she now loves this more than Tiki Cat. Amazon was out of her fish flavor so I did some research and found this cat food to be rated equally as good. I decided to try their chicken since the price was comparable and the first 4 ingredients in this product are meat products. Surprisingly their is also turkey meal and menhaden fish meal in the chicken recipe. The named fish meal is a great source of nutrients and omega fats. The protein content is 41%. All wholesome ingredients with no grain, potato, corn, soy or wheat. Nor does it contain artificial colors or preservatives. I like that it contains taurine for heart health and cranberries for urinary track health. Saki loves freeze dried turkey and it’s the 3rd listed meat. Instinct crushes and tumbles their freeze dried raw with their kibble, ensuring each piece contains a touch of raw coated food which they believe that real less processed whole raw foods the better. Saki has been eating this for a week and picks out this kibble from the mixed in Tiki Cat. The only ingredient I read anything controversial about was tapioca which has a high sugar content, but it’s a good grain substitute not known to cause allergies in pets. Cats are carnivores and this product is loaded with meat content. We have fed our Golden Instinct dog food and the Instinct brand rates very high by the animal review companies. It’s priced higher than some but not outrageous. Better quality food and ingredients will always cost more. You get what you pay for here. Highly recommend even if it’s just to switch brands occasionally for variety. Just be aware of the other non chicken meals if your cat has any food sensitivities or allergies.
