Overview
Feeding cats a raw coated kibble means each pellet carries a layer of raw coating over a grain free chicken base. Instinct lists digestive, immune, muscle and skin and coat uses for the recipe.
One recipe for kittens through seniors simplifies a multi-cat home, and the high-protein, grain free angle suits owners who read labels. The container field and calorie data are the weak points in the listing, and the bag is a small size.
Who it's for
Cat households that favor a protein-led, grain free dry food and want to feed one formula to all ages. Anyone watching calories should look at the bag, since the listing omits them.
Pros and cons
- Grain free chicken recipe
- Covers every life stage
- Soy free and wheat free
- Calorie content not listed
- Container field wrong
- Chicken-based, so not for poultry allergies
Performance notes
The raw coating adds flavor and appeal to a plain kibble base. Muscle and digestive benefits depend on regular feeding against measured portions. The high protein level places demands on how much is fed to avoid weight gain.
