Review: My cat loves this food! We are currently working through an elimination diet for food allergies and she can only eat rabbit for animal protein. My vet and I agreed to try limited ingredient rabbit foods that I could purchase at the store rather than prescription due to the cost and lack of quality ingredients in the prescription pet food space. While this is not cheap, I really appreciate that fit the needs of being limited ingredient and only having one animal protein. The options for this are limited - many have fish oils or New Zealand green mussels which make them NOT a limited ingredient food so I'm grateful to have this one as an option. My cat is also currently eating foods by Rawz and Koha which are higher end, but she likes this one best. I appreciate that the Instinct cans always have the correct amount of food (by weight in grams) - the Koha and Rawz cans are always slightly short. My only complaint about this food is that it has pea protein. I personally don't think pea protein is a healthy choice for cat food; however, I will still buy this for her food rotation since it meets the most important standard of being limited ingredient and my cat enjoys it so much. For me this is a big enough complaint that I'm taking a star off just for this. I've had no issues with texture or dryness - the overall quality of each can seems consistent. Overall this is a really good choice for a LI diet food for a cat with allergies, especially considering the options are so limited.
Review: WARNING: Contains VOLCANIC ASH, recognized carcinogen, heavy-metal-laced toxic material given GRAS status in 1977 for use in FOOD CONTAINERS ONLY, not allowed for human consumption. This is the same review I have posted for the other verified purchases of this brand's products, applying to both the dog and cat food containing Volcanic Ash, also commonly called Montmorillonite and Bentonite Clay. I found this food brand on Dog Food Advisor, a site I love and trust, even today, and began using the Instinct Rabbit, Duck and Lamb for dogs and cats, the canned varieties, with my cat and dogs. We first used the food over a year ago, with health consequences we are still attempting to figure out. However, after a few months of dedicated, exclusive dietary use for our cat, she went into liver failure. The dogs became ill and are recovering after withdrawing the food. The cat's condition is difficult and, unfortunately, we don't know how that is going to play out but our vet is hopeful. Years ago, we had an incident with a different cat and a different food, garlic causing Heinz Anemia. We thought that was irresponsible, using garlic with dogs and cats when they are not human and cannot ingest the same chemicals. This makes that look like nothing. Montmorillonite Clay, also called Bentonite Clay and, most commonly, called Volcanic Ash, is a substance comprised of various minerals and toxic metals. The circulating folk wisdom is that this substance has an ionic charge that makes it impossible for the high levels of toxic metals and radioactive isotopes found within to leach from the ash into your system. Basic chemistry throws this out the window. What is worse, ionic charge is not the issue. Acid leaching is the issue. In the same way that acid in Orange Juice will leach lead from a leaded crystal goblet and that tomato sauce will leach lead and other metals from clay cookware and clay utensils, the human stomach, with a pH of around 3, will leach from Clay/Ash. A dog has a pH of 1.5 to 2. A cat has a pH of 1. Again, this chemical soup is not allowed in human food, with our less acidic stomachs, because our less acidic stomachs will leach lead and aluminum and arsenic and mercury from this toxic substance. Our bodies, in response, will sweat metal, excrete metal in our waste, store metal in our fat, all in an attempt to rid ourselves of what we have ingested from a less acidic stomach leaching less of the heavy metals in this than our dogs and cats will leach. When we went to our Veterinarian and then to our Internal Medicine Specialist, they each had us discuss all possible issues, all supplements and foods, as we are very into holistic medicine. Both honed in on the same issue almost immediately. The Instinct brand of food uses Montmorillonite Clay (Bentonite Clay, Kaolin, Ash, what have you) and this is poison, simply and plainly, an active poison. This substance was last evaluated by the FDA in 1977. As stated earlier, it was declared to be GRAS (Generally Regarded As Safe) for use in packaging (in the cardboard itself, as a drying agent and in silica packets) but was not declared safe for use in food. In other words, it is not technically legal to use this in food. In 2016, the FDA warned a company that had started selling this clay for human ingestion to stop doing so and warned consumers that it is not safe, due, primarily, to lead contamination and the high likelihood of lead poisoning. No research was done into the effects of the clay, whether or not anyone got sick, and I have been informed that none will be, as the warning was given and the consumer has access to all the information they need in the GRAS database. Basically, the FDA leaves it up to you and me to look up this chemical and be smart enough not to ingest it. And, still, here it is, in cat and dog food. Ash or Clay is made up of Silica, Aluminum, Lead, Uranium, Mercury, Arsenic, etc. It contains radioactive isotopes, lending to the ionic charge that some people cite as the magic that will stop your body from absorbing these and other chemicals upon ingestion of this toxic substance. There is a belief that the ionic charge of clay makes it safe, keeping the lead and aluminum from being absorbed by the body binding them. This is, forgive the expression, bunk. Ionic charge is unrelated to acid-leaching. In Mexico, during a tragic time when children were dying without explanation, it was discovered that clay cookware was poisoning them. Ionic charge did not stop leaching of metals into acidic foods and it will not stop this from leaching into your baby's body. The worst part of the issue with this additive, not including what is happening in our family, is that we all have different tolerances and our bodies will react differently to this toxic substance. Some can ingest this for years before developing cancer or liver failure. Some, with weak livers or weak immune systems, will get sick immediately. Animals with sensitive livers will often turn up their noses at this food brand, from what I was told, because they learn the taste of metals, the substances that make them feel ill. The radioactive isotopes weaken the immune system, as does lead, as do many elements in the clay, such that cancer and immune reactivity syndromes can occur, along with unexplained illness and repeated infection. Liver failure is only one possible consequence of ingesting Volcanic Ash and it can occur months or years later, as exposure is cumulative. The way that the body purges itself of metals is complex and involves multiple organ systems, including the skin. Our bodies will even resort to storing metals in our fat cells when the metals can't be purged safely. We end up with metal deposits in the brain. In studies, Montmorillonite Clay was found to cross the blood-brain barrier and cause cell lysis (cell death) but, oddly, not in cancer cells, which don't seem to mind the substance one bit. Had our girl not had this reaction so early in our use of Instinct pet food, we could have poisoned all of our dogs right along with her, over the course of who knows how many months or years. Our vet said that "idiopathic liver failure" is often attributed to food additives years after animals have died, by owners who remember using a product that contained a substance the industry no longer uses. Most companies stopped using Ash after it was found to cause cancer and liver failure. Instinct changed the name and assumed that none of us would figure it out. The FDA, notorious for allowing dangerous substances in food and cosmetics, does not allow Volcanic Ash, Montmorillonite Clay, Bentonite Clay, Kaolin, etc., in food, for the obvious toxic danger it poses, an issue we have known about for decades. If this substance is unsafe for human consumption, with our less efficient acid-leaching stomachs, then this substance is more unsafe for dogs and still less safe cats than even their beautiful siblings. Please understand, you shouldn't be giving this additive to any animal, ever. I rarely say, in the absolute, that you should never use a product. However, this entire pet food company should be off limits until they remove Ash/Clay from their products, remove, not rename.

*by C***S on 23 March 2025*

I have 3 cats varying ages and one is picky at best... They all LOVE this food! Crazy how the reviews are so skewed. Vet prescribed an Rx (for cat with allergies ) 100% rabbit wet food (which they also all loved), but it is unavailable so I bought this - hoping it really is just 100% rabbit. This instinct brand limited ingredient is much less expensive (which for the short term) is a bonus Nothing more to say - except they all lick their platters clean! Good luck to those who try this. Maybe yours will love it, too!
