Instinct Raw Boost All Life Stages Grain Free Chicken Dry Cat Food (5lb)

Instinct Raw Boost Grain-Free Recipe with Real Chicken pairs kibble with freeze-dried raw pieces, sold here as a dry food for cats in a 5 lb bag. Instinct's own website lists this recipe under its Adult Cat Food line.

Instinct describes cage-free chicken as the first ingredient and calls out "freeze-dried raw, all natural, protein packed, minimally processed bites of real chicken," with a probiotic boost and higher omegas compared to Instinct Original. The recipe is made without grain, potato, corn, wheat, soy, by-product meal or artificial colors or preservatives. Instinct does not publish an AAFCO nutrient adequacy statement on this page; check the bag for the exact wording.

Ingredients open with chicken, chicken meal, turkey meal, menhaden fish meal, peas, chicken fat, tapioca and freeze-dried chicken. Instinct's guaranteed analysis lists a minimum 41 percent crude protein, 22 percent crude fat, a maximum 3.5 percent crude fiber and 9 percent moisture. Instinct's feeding chart varies by weight and age; use it as a starting point.

Sniff and Shift stocks a rotating lineup of freeze-dried cat treats made locally, worth keeping on hand once this bag runs low. The feeding guide has tips on portioning and on switching foods gradually if you are moving your cat to a new recipe.
