Is Instinct Raw cat food safe for my ferret to eat with Wysong?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Small Animal | Ferret | Male | neutered

The last time I asked this question the vet was incorrect and didn’t even bother to read the pictures I had sent, instead called it dog food and said I couldn’t use it, not a very professional reply. I know some ferrents who feed Instinct Raw to their babes& that their Ferrets are happy, healthy & absolutely love this food. Would only be feeding it in AM, Wysong for entire rest of day. This is cat food and is also grain free, I know Ferrets don’t need fruits but I don’t have time to do full raw.

This diet is acceptable to feed your ferret. The small amount of fruits and vegetables in it likely will not negatively impact his health. Introduce it gradually, monitoring for any stomach upset (vomiting or diarrhea).
