Request Ignored
By LeeE on Jan 21, 2021
First, I enjoy the quick delivery I always get. This past order I asked if the order could possibly be sent in 2 boxes as it was a fairly large order. The boxes are quite heavy and as I am 86 yrs, old find it difficult to get the box in the house and then down 8 steps. It was delivered in one box and fairly shook up. I will be sure to separate the order from now on.

She likes it!
By OreosMom on Dec 28, 2020
I adopted a senior dog about 1 1/2 years ago. My Shih Zhu mix is about 10 years old and she is a very picky eater. It has been hard to find a kibble dog food that she likes and is of good quality. I decided to try her on Nutro. At first she sniffed it and walked away. A few minutes later, she came back and cleaned the entire bowl out. Since that day, she has been repeating the same pattern and eating all her food in the bowl. Her energy is good and her poops are also healthy.

Senior loves this!
By PammySue on Jan 23, 2021
Our dog is very particular about food. She is a 12 yr old Schnauzer and we have tried many foods and haven't found one she likes until now! Farm raised chicken brown rice sweet potato! For seniors, by Nutro! She eats it all!

Good Quality Senior Food
By Susan on Jan 3, 2021
My soon to be 15 yr old rat terrier is super picky about her food. She never has a problem with Nutro Essentials small breed dog food and eats it right up. I toss in a small amount of leftovers or spoonful of canned food with hot water.

Neutron is great
By Millzoo on Jan 29, 2021
My dog loves it! I love the ingredients and the nutritional value for my dog. The price isn’t bad either. I love I don’t have to leave the house to get it.

It's taste really good to me
By Fete on Oct 29, 2020
Hi! My name is Fete, I'm a Belgian Tervuren, and I am a very picky eater because of intestinal upsets but I really like this food that was bought for the senior Schipperke that lives here also. I vote for the human to purchase this again! p.s. I forgot to tell you that I'm a senior too (8 years old), but I'm not small like that black thing ~ doesn't matter anyway!

Best for our little old man
By Hershey on Oct 3, 2020
At the direction of our vet, Hershey (15 lb Havanese) was fed chicken and rice for several weeks to alleviate his runny stool. He was very happy for this "prescription" since he has had nothing but hard food for the last 15 years. Don't worry, small table scraps were on his diet every night as well. It seemed to work at first but then the runny stool came back. We decided to switch his food back to the hard stuff and bought Nutro for Seniors. This is working great, almost instantly, and he seems to enjoy breakfast and dinnertime just as much as the chicken and rice.
