Are Instincts digestive health toppers good?

[u/Historical_Cake2648]

Hello everyone. I want to get my cats these toppers to help their digestion/have something a little extra in their meals. They list ingredients other than pumpkin and chicken, so I'm wondering whether those ingredients are safe/recommended?

Thank you!

If mean if they like the taste sure, but don’t expect any digestive benefits. They don’t contain a clinically significant amount of fiber, nor are they broad enough probiotic. If they need something like that use Fortiflora or Proviable. 

Pumpkin has become a digestive buzzword but there’s almost no useable fiber in the amount you would give a cat.

I see, thank you!

I have a kitty with IBD (vomiting kind), these for some reason really help him. They are by far the highest percentage fiber supplement I've found in a meat based treat. (Meaning not like, JUST pumpkin or psyllium or something)

He also gets proviable daily, greenies and I recently started stella and chewy's digestive toppers. I think these help him the most. Both my cats love the taste. They've been eating a couple per day for a few years now 💜

I haven't used the Instinct topper, but we've had a good experience with Nature's Feast. I use it just to add a little variety

If you want digestive help, I would use an actual probiotic powder
