Over 12 Months: Transition to Instinct kibble for cats.
Every pet is unique, so the ideal feeding amount may vary based on age, weight, and activity level. Use the feeding guide as a starting point, then adjust as needed to help your pet maintain a healthy body condition. Divide the recommended daily amount by the number of meals you feed each day, and always provide access to fresh, clean water. For an extra boost of moisture and variety, try pairing this recipe with raw or wet food as part of your pet's daily routine.
To help your pet adjust without digestive upset, we recommend transitioning gradually over 7 to 10 days:
- Days 1–2: Start with 25% new food mixed with 75% of their current food.
- Days 3–4: Go to a 50/50 mix of new and old.
- Days 5–6: Shift to 75% new food and just 25% of the old.
- Day 7+: Full switch to 100% new food!
Some pets might do well with a slightly faster transition, while others (especially those with sensitive stomachs or food allergies) might need a bit more time—listen to your pet and adjust as needed.
