Ideal feeding amounts will vary by age, weight, and activity level so the guide below should be used as an initial recommendation. Divide the cups per day by the number of feedings per day. Be sure to always provide clean, fresh water. Along with dry food, we recommend feeding raw or wet food to help increase the amount of water in your pet's diet. Daily Feeding Guidelines (standard 8 oz dry measuring cup): Adult Maintenance (cups per day): 5 lb: 3/8 cup; 10 lb: 5/8 cup; 15 lb: 7/8 cup, Weight Loss (cups per day): 5 lb: 1/4 cup; 10 lb: 3/8 cup; 15 lb: 5/8 cup, Kittens: Feed up to twice the adult maintenance amount. Pregnant/Nursing Females: Feed up to three times the adult maintenance amount shown above. Transitioning to Instinct: Always introduce a new food over a period of 5 to 7 days, mixing increasing amounts of Instinct with the current food each day.

Questions
What is the difference between "Instinct Raw Boost Grain Free Recipe with Real Chicken Natural Dry Cat Food - SKU: 2749816" and this if that one is for all life stages which includes kittens, why a separate product, and at 40% markup in price?
- Hello! There are several differences between the recipes, as the Original Kitten is formulated specifically for kittens who are still growing. The Original Kitten includes a balanced mix of poultry, fish & meat for healthy exposure to proteins + natural DHA from chicken eggs for brain & eye development and guaranteed levels of live, natural probiotics, natural Omegas and antioxidants for digestive health, healthy skin & soft fur, and immune health. At Instinct we suggest retail prices to retailers, but we do not control the prices retailers charge. Individual retailer choices on pricing may result in price increases or decreases to consumers that are outside of our control. If you have any other questions, our customer service team would be happy to assist you. You can reach us via email at cservice@instinctpetfood.com.

If this is kitten food, why in the directions as u read into them, u find it giving instructions for feeding puppies LOL?? I was looking for the directions for feeding kittens who are 12- 13 pounds and 8- 9 months old...how much would i feed them?
- Hi there, so sorry for the confusion! We are currently in the process of getting the feeding guide updated on this site but in the meantime, you can find a full feeding guide for this food here: https://www.instinctpetfood.com/cats/original/instinct-original-grain-free-recipe-real-chicken-kittens.

1. The feeding suggestions are for adult cats and puppies but this is a kitten food, please correct. 2. What are the kcals per cup?
- Hi there, my name is Missy and I work with Instinct. Thank you for bringing the feeding guidelines to our attention; we will work with our Petco team to try and get this updated asap. As for the kcals per cup, in this recipe there are 552 kcal/cup. Thanks!

I have a 4 month old foster kitten at home, any recommendations of kibbles that i can buy on amazon?
What's the best dry indoor food for kittens?
What kind of pet food do you recommend for a kitten
Hi there. I was thinking about switching my cat to a better quality food. I know the first at least 3 ingredients should be chicken, chicken meal etc vs corn or grains. My cat is 20lbs. Vet told me he should be 16lbs & be on a low fat diet. I don't think his purina pro plan weight mgmt is helping anymore. Fat is 12.5% max in that food. But other foods have more fat. I wonder if a grain free diet would help keep him full longer? How many calories/cups a day he should eat? Worried about weightgain
Nutro, Blue Buffalo, Wellness, Taste of the Wild or Rachel Ray Nutrish for dry cat food? Cat has no known allergies or health conditions. Open to other recommendations. Want high quality and natural food that is healthy
Hi, I would like to know what’s a good brand name grain free cat food to give my Cat.?
Best inexpensive boxer dry dog food
Hi! I am looking to find the best food for our 8 month old cats. What are the best things to look for in a dry kibble? I know wet food is best but it gives our babies awful diarrhea and upsets their tummies. They are currently on Grain Free Blue Buffalo because I heard that a high protein content is important and that has a 40% minimum protein content. Please HELP
Best low-carb wet food for cats?
Which dry food is best for an indoor, seven year old cat, low in calories?
I have an 8 month old 10 lb BIG maile kitten.He is very long and has bit paws. I assume he is still growing. How much should I be feeding him: 3 wet 3 oz cans and a little dry food - more or less? I can feel his spine but not his ribs. His wet food is 10% protein, usually chicken or chicken & liver. All is no grain. I keep reading different things.
My dog is not eating his regular food (kibble) I was feeding him Instinct Raw Boost Chicken flavor and he ate that fine most of the time. I switched about 2 weeks ago to Instinct Original Chicken Flavor ( no raw boost). As far as I know the only difference between the 2 is that the Original does not have bits of freeze dried raw in it. He has hardly eaten anything for 2 days. I don’t think it’s a medical issue because he will eat treats fine. Please help
