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: 1/2 cup; 15 lb: 3/4 cup, Weight Loss (cups per day): 5 lb: 1/4 cup; 10 lb: 3/8 cup; 15 lb: 1/2 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!

What's the best dry indoor food for kittens?
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 male cat is almost 14. I know he is starting kidney problems due to the extra water he drinks at this point. and a bit thinner. lots of energy still. I read they need at least 50% protein, I give him wet and dry which i know is not good, but lots of wet and freeze dried chicken too, vit with dig enzymes. Can you suggest the best Wet high protein food and anything else from Petco?
What kind of food should my 11 m/o cat be fed after being on Simply Nourish Kitten food? He was starving/skinny when I rescued him and the vet thinks he's a mix with Maine Coon. He's pretty big for 11 months because the 12 y/o lady is much smaller than he is. He's also really bad at biting fingers and just, humans, and we never play with him with our fingers, new cat mom, many questions.
Figuring out food for my kitten? Rousseau is a 7 1/2 month old half mainecoon, and he is in great shape. He weighs 10.5 pounds. How long should we continue feeding him kitten food? He still seems to be growing a lot, he looks bigger all the time and he gains about a half pound a week on average. I feed him wet and dry kitten food, but he hates dry kitten food and will try to steal the dry adult food instead. We also give him freeze dried liver treats pretty regularily.
