Nope: Would not eat

It sounded good to me, but she turned it down instantly. Doesn't mean it's a bad product, just that this finicky cat said nope.

My guys all took readily to this food. The ingredients all passed my scrutiny, and I don't think this company puts out quality food in general. The only thing I don't like is how high the carb count is, but my guys don't care about carbs, lol. The price is very reasonable, and what pushed me to order this. I'm on a limited, fixed income, so I do have to price compare, but I won't give my guys kibble with any ingredients I don't approve of. This food fit the bill. (Wish I could afford to feed the ferals I care for the same way, but maybe someday).

I am definitely pleasantly surprised with this and was a little bit nervous about changing dry foods as it’s usually a longer process with cats. So I decided to throw a couple kibbles over as a treat which they instantly ate up and enjoyed. So over the next few days, I had mixed a little bit of the old food with the new food. Both of the animals enjoyed it and actually ate a little bit more than normal. We do mostly wet food in the house and dry food kinda just sits in an automatic feeder as a back up if they don’t like the wet food. I noticed that they were eating more and more of the dry food so I am actually going to make a change to this brand.

Five Stars for Natural Balance Ultra Protein!

I couldn't be happier with Natural Balance Ultra Protein cat food! My cat absolutely loves it, and as a pet parent, I love knowing she’s getting high-quality nutrition

I couldn't be happier with Natural Balance Ultra Protein cat food! My cat absolutely loves it, and as a pet parent, I love knowing she’s getting high-quality nutrition. This formula is packed with 40% protein, with real chicken as the number one ingredient, which gives me peace of mind about what’s going into her bowl. The addition of protein-rich organs makes this food not only incredibly nutritious but also something my cat finds irresistible. Plus, it’s grain-free, which is perfect for her sensitive stomach. Since switching to Ultra Protein, her coat is shinier, her energy levels are up, and she just seems healthier overall. Natural Balance really nailed it with this one—highly recommend to anyone looking to upgrade their cat's diet

Thorough company and food my cats love!

I was anticipating writing a review less favorable as my old cat didn’t seem like he was much of a fan. But then, as I grabbed the bag of food to sit down and write this review, he came over and wanted some. So, I gave him some, and he ate all of it. Cats. My younger cat is also a big fan, as he only likes crunchers. I was excited to have a dry food to try, as he is extra and not a fan of most wet foods, which he acts like is disgusting. But he’s big on crunchers! I also went on their website as there is a QR code in the bag which says “quality and safety certificate for this bag.” It is nice to be able to see the proof that they tested the food for toxins to ensure it is safe. The food pieces are fairly small, so it makes sense that the bag says it’s for kittens to cats. I believe a lot of care and effort went into this food, and it’s a brand I would definitely trust in the future. Plus, the judges really enjoyed it.

I paid for this product did not receive for free. I cannot say enough great things about this food. I think this is a new food because I had not seen it in store before. There is so much real meat including chicken organs. It's so hard to find dry food with chicken liver/chicken heart. This food does not contain fish which is amazing so many cats are allergic. The kibble is small which is perfect for all cats! I really dont think there is a better dry chicken food out there right now this is the absolute best! Thank you natural balance!

I recently started feeding my cat, Dennis, the Natural Balance Ultra Protein Chicken & Chicken Meal Recipe Dry Cat Food, and he absolutely loves it! Dennis can be a bit picky, but he took to this food right away. I really appreciate the high protein content and quality ingredients—it feels good knowing he’s getting balanced nutrition. Since switching, his coat looks healthier and he’s more playful. The 3-lb bag is a great size. Chewy delivered it fast and in perfect condition
