Nutro Wholesome Essentials Natural Dry Cat Food Kitten Formula Chicken & Brown Rice, 5 lb. Bag

SO HAPPY I finally found a food that works for my cats. I have an adult and 2 kittens (3 months old) and have tried MANY different foods, with varying degrees of horrible results. Sickeningly smelly poop, diarrhea, awful gas, one food even caused vomiting. It's made life difficult for everyone (especially that last one- they were pooping all over the house, tracking it everywhere, and the smell was inescapable... but worst of all, they were miserable!) There are so few options for kittens with sensitive stomachs (mostly only adults) and I was surprised to see how many brands that worked for people a few years ago since changed their formula and now it makes their cats sick. (Shameful, why do they do this...)It's been a week since we switched to this food and I'm just overjoyed. I really didn't have a lot of hope because we have even tried expensive grain- free formulas without success. They love this food and so do we because by the second day their poo was normal and I haven't been gassed to death once since we switched. YAY!I never thought I'd be so excited about what I'm seeing in their litter box 😅 but this is pretty much a miracle. I will update if anything changes but this is the most promising outcome we've had and I plan to continue using this food.

A mi gato le encanta.

First of all, my package was delivered to my neighbor, and hers was delivered to me, luckily we are friendly so the exchange was easy. The driver even took photos of the incorrect package sitting on my doorstep! Haha.The product is great. Little tiny kibbles in a reclosable bag. My elderly cat is missing teeth, so regular kibble is getting difficult for her, and she has hyperthyroidism so needs tons of calories, and I heard this was a good option for that. So far so good. We leave it out all day so when we're at work, or asleep, she has access to food, then feed her canned food twice per day. She is eating it, though chicken is not her favorite.

Kitten loves this dry food. I picked this after comparing pretty much every kitten dry kibble I could find. I feel good about the nutritional makeup at this price point. She has constant access to Nutro dry but also gets some canned wet food a few times a day. She's a rescue that I bottle fed so I wasn't expecting having a cat but I'm considering buying a grinder for my KitchenAid and going raw. So far she's growing well and her fur is very soft and healthy now.I see people sometimes mention that they buy dry food to feed stray cats . If you do this, stop. You wouldn't feed a wild mountain lion so you shouldn't be feeding feral cats unless you are taking full responsibility for them. That means getting them vaccinated, spayed or neutered, and annual vet visits. Again, stop feeding wild animals!

Right when I opened the package, this came in with a hole in it. Hopefully it was accidental. :(

I've been buying Nutro Kitten dry food for almost three years. I started when we brought a kitten into our home in 2014, and didn't stop when he became an adult. I've raised three kittens on this and they all love it. When we brought the first kitten home, I bought this for him, but the pieces are so small, that I realized it solved another problem entirely.At the time, we had a 16 year old cat who'd had most of her teeth removed. She only had three teeth for the last 4 or so years of her life, and this kitten food was a godsend. She adored dry food her whole life, and when she had no teeth to chew food, she'd just swallow the food whole. As you can imagine, there were a few times it didn't go well, and I constantly worried that she'd choke on her food one day. This kitten food is small - it's made for kittens after all - smaller than most food for adult cats. The pieces are about twice the size of a large cooked brown rice grain. We switched her to this, and I never had to worry that she'd choke on her food again. Our new kitten grew up, and we brought in another kitten, but even after all we had were adult cats, I was still buying this food for our old girl.

My cat Binx is very picky and has a sensitive stomach. She loves nutro.I have tried many brands and this is the only one that doesn’t make her vomit. It seems to be easier on her stomach & another bonus is her litter box isn’t super smelly anymore.I love that it’s non gmo.Her favorites are the chicken & duck. I buy both and mix them together.She’s been on this brand for nearly a year now and her coat is very shiny and she doesn’t cough up hairballs all the time anymore. That used to be quite an issue with her before we tried this food.I did try nutro’s hairball formula and she didn’t care for the flavor, but she ate it when I mixed it into her chicken/duck mixture.I haven’t fed her the hairball mix in probably 4 months and she’s still not having issues.I do cook her fresh salmon every now and then but I think this food has really helped her.Her jet black fur nearly shimmers in the sun, it’s so shiny and silky.Binx was a stray and her fur was really rough & ratty before. Her fur was about as nice as a dollar store stuffed animal.She was very young and this kitten mix was her favorite then.

My kittens really love this dry food and go crazy when they hear the bag open both morning and night. It must taste really good because they always eat all of the kibbles and never leave any behind. The kibbles are small which is just perfect for kittens. There are no artificial colors or flavors and are made of very nutritious ingredients. It does not smell bad at all either.They are very healthy and got an A+ from the Vet so I will continue to purchase this brand for as long as they are kittens and can move onto the adult dry food. Their coat is healthy and shiny so this food must be helping them grow into fabulous adults!I have always trusted the Nutro brand and have used their products for over 10 plus years with my animals. This is another bag of food that I will continue to purchase for my kittens and recommend to any Kitten Owners.
