My cats have been eating the Rabbit formula for several years now. We have noticed the quality of the contents to be very inconsistent but my cats love it so we tolerate it. However, cans are often 3/4 full with lots of bone fragments and smelly. And now (May 2025) there is limited availability? I hope this is temporary and they are finally addressing the quality issue, I don't want to change brands but I may have to look for something else.

Thank you for sharing. Feedback like yours is very important to us! We will pass along your feedback to our Product Team for consideration as we evaluate our recipes.

I have been feeding my IBD cat this food for about 8 months. The last 3 orders (24 cans in each order) have had bone fragments that are significantly larger than I have ever found in his food. I am certain this food is now making him sick. You will likely see the usual response: we have confirmed with our vets that blah blah blah ... The bone pieces are larger and they are sharp. Do a Google search, search social media posts as well. I am in multiple IBD groups and MANY pet parents who were feeding this food have noticed the change in bone fragment size and sharpness.

Thank you for sharing. Feedback like yours is very important to us! We will pass along your feedback to our Product Team for consideration as we evaluate our recipes.

Extremely frustrated by the amount of dented cans I receive with each of my orders. I ordered 3 cases of 12 cans each of this very expensive cat food. 16 of the cans arrived dented and, therefore, unfit to be consumed by my cats as they pose a health hazard. Calling petco to ask for a refund after every order is both time and energy consuming and I haven't had the chance to yet.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Both my cats clean their plates when I feed them this food. This is especially important for my kitty with IBD who can have NO chicken and has a hard time keeping down any other foods. My other kitty reaps the benefits of her issues by getting this yummy food too! Both are healthy and more energetic eating this food. Their coats are beautiful. And no more non-stop puking from my poor little kitty. It's is a relief for all of us! The only downside is the price. But give rabbit a try if your cat is picky or sick from the usual proteins.

Yes, I recommend this product.

I bought a 24 pack of limited ingredient rabbit pate bc it was supposed to be fish/oil free. First, EVERY can has multiple bone fragments - really???? And, did you mislabel my batch bc my cat has been severely ill similar to when he has fish/oil. Your current ingredient list on the site now clearly says fish oil. Every website has the same product with a different list of ingredients. How is this possible and which is it?????

Hello! Our Limited Ingredient Rabbit is free of fish. We’re sorry to hear that the food didn’t work out for your pet! We do have a 100% satisfaction guarantee, so you’re able to return the partially used food to where you purchased from for a refund or exchange. Just remember to bring your original purchase receipt. If you already tossed the package or receipt, please email cservice@instinctpetfood.com so can further assist. Thanks!

Hello.My cat has CKD, chronic CHF and IBD so I'm working with a lot of varying dietary requirements for maximum health. Your Original Real Rabbit and Real Venison formulas are two of the only canned foods he can tolerate, so thank you. However, I would like to know the phosphorous content. Can you please post it for all to see? I see other commenters also are interested in the same info.

Thank you so much for sharing! We’re thrilled that our food has been such a good match for your pet. Thanks for being a part of the Instinct family! We are always happy to share any nutritional information with our pet parents! The Original Rabbit is 1.97% phosphorus on a dry matter basis and the Original Venison is 1.92% on a dry matter basis. If you have any additional questions, you can always reach out to us via email at cservice@instinctpetfood.com.

My car loves it and she is 16. Rabbit is also one of the only proteins she’s not allergic to. Now she has early CKD, and I was wondering if there was a way to get a max phosphorus, and a max crude protein on this. It would help me decide if I can keep her on this better quality option or if I need to find an alternative.

We appreciate you taking the time to write a review. Please keep an eye out for an email from us with more information!

Unfortunately I am running out of options with this brand as they are adding guar gum to all cat food formulas so it looks pretty to people who complained about consistency. They did smaller healthy batches of food without cross contamination but now they have cheapened this product because people whose dinner doesn’t look the same every day complained about the small batches not being the same every time. What a shame!!

Thanks so much for reaching out – feedback is very important to us! While we have been actively improving our recipes based on consumer feedback, guar-gum has never been an ingredient in Instinct Original Wet Cat Canned Rabbit recipe. I’m happy to report that we are currently in the process of transitioning all wet canned food back to USA production and eliminating all gums from our other Instinct Original pate canned food for cats. Please keep in mind, that texture and color may vary, because these are proudly made from natural ingredients and no gums.

My cat has eaten this for years. But lately, the food has contained hard shards of bone and my cat refuses to eat it. Has anyone else had this problem? Is it a bad batch? Has this defect been solved? I do t want to order more if the problem still exists.

Hello! While we do not add bone and cartilage as separate ingredients to our cans, the meat constituents will naturally contain some bone and cartilage. We work to assure that the bone pieces are ground down and have specifications for the amount, size, and shape of the bone contained in the cans. The amount of bone and cartilage will vary based on the raw material being used at the time. We do sample and check all of our products and have currently taken our grinding and bone size down as far as possible. We work to assure that the bone pieces are very small and not in the least bit dangerous. We have conferred with our on-staff veterinarian on the subject and confirmed that bone pieces small in size present no risk to a pet. Thanks!
