Review: Great product - My cat is very limited on the proteins he can tolerate, and turkey is the one he has no issues with. He is feed a homemade raw diet with a completer. Occasionally I feed him canned food. He LOVES this Instinct Limited Ingredient Turkey and has no tummy issues. I love the ingredients and feel good about feeding him this brand. I have reviewed many other top name brands and find this one seems to have the best limited ingredients on the market.
Review: Quality Ingredients - Obviously I have not tasted this food but my kittens devour it (and they are picky..) so I assume it is good. My girl kitten has several food allergies and this food is really the only thing she's been able to eat without getting sick. I got her brother on it as well so when the steal each other's leftovers she doesn't get sick. They both love this food & I will continue to buy it. It is a little pricey, but as long as it keeps them fed, happy & healthy I am okay with that!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Customer reviews have stated that this food contains bone fragments. Any truth to this?**
A: While we do not add bone and cartilage as separate ingredients to our cans/pouches, 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/pouches. 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.

**Q: What Does It Taste Like?**
A: If this question is tongue in cheek, thank you for the laugh and I'm assuming it tastes like rabbit (I haven't eaten any of it myself).  If this is a serious question about what it tastes like for dogs, mine liked it, and I have one very picky eater who literally will clamp her mouth shut and turn her head away if she doesn't like what I put in front of her.  Rabbit and duck are good alternatives to the usual chicken and turkey.  None of mine eat beef, lamb or pork (my choice, not theirs), so this is a good option for a dog that doesn't particularly like poultry.

**Q: how many cans?**
A: 6 cans

**Q: It's this from china? Country of origin says China**
A: I see that the manufacturer says that this is "made in," whatever country they listed, but that does not necessarily mean that the raw ingredients come from those specific "made in" countries.  That just means that they were assembled in those countries.  So a better question is, "Where do all the raw ingredients come from?"

### ⭐ DO NOT ORDER FROM AMAZON!!!
*by R***E on November 18, 2017*

Let me start out by saying that the product itself amazing. The 5.5oz cans have a good moisture content (not too much) and all of my 3 cats enjoy the food. Instinct is a very high quality brand wet food and the LID Turkey is the only food my cat with intestinal cancer and hyperthyroidism can keep down without throwing it up. My cats will even eat the whole peas contained in this can as long as I break them up first. The 3oz cans however are extremly dry and even mixing them with other foods/heating them up/mixing them with a small bit of water can not convince my cats to eat them. They are also always a completely different color than the big cans so I am convinced they do not contain exactly the same ingredients. That being said this 1 star review is for Amazon LLC shipping. On the 11NOV17 I received 3 cases of 24 packs of the 3oz cans. I requested a refund and was recommended by Amazon LLC customer support that instead of them sending me a replacement that I should again order the 5.5oz cans and they would ensure I received the correct product. On the 13th I again received 3 cases of the 3oz cans. This time I requested a replacement at no cost to me. AGAIN on the 14th before I hardly opened the box I could tell I received the wrong cans! This time I only got one case instead of the 3 that I had ordered as well. In the meantime I have been forced to drive around from multiple Petco's, Kahoots and Unleashed trying to find this food to feed my sick cat. These cans are in high demand and always run out so I can only grab 6 max if I am lucky. Pictured are the 7 cases of incorrect cans I have received by Amazon LLC with an example can of what a 5.5oz can looks like because apparently these people cannot read.
