Good for doggie tummy, not too tasty
By Quaker on Dec 31, 2020
Although my senior Boxer dog does not really enjoy this food, I do keep it in his diet. I feed him 50% of this food and 50% of another tastier brand also for senior diet. This food does not upset his tummy and helps him maintain healthy weight as a senior. My two complaints are it did not maintain great stools (softened them although still somewhat formed) and the flavor does not excite my dog. I use this as a reliable base food and supplement with tastier things. My dog is fine with the 50/50 diet. Since his other senior food is more tasty, once I run out of this one I will try just giving him the other one 100%, but if it doesn't go well, I will revert back to the 50/50.

Not a fan of this dog food
By hollywooddothat on Dec 10, 2020
I switched our pug to this after years of being on purina gastro dogfood. Our pug ate purina because her brother needed it. He passed this year and his script expired. Our girl has never needed a specific food she can eat whatever. This food however, I’m not going to continue with. It causes her the worst gas. I did some reading about Nutro as well and I am not pleased with them. Chewy or course is excellent so this is no reflection on them.

Recently received are in poor condition
By Eliza on Dec 2, 2020
I have been buying this food for my three dogs for awhile and had no issues, however the last two bags received I have been very dissatisfied with the quality. The food contains so much sandy residue that I’m am having to strain it before feeding them. I’m wondering if this is happening to anyone else?

From American Journey to Nutro
By OlmanGnarly on Jan 10, 2021
This change has been great! Seems as though the old man has more energy, eats all his food (he’s kinda picky/finicky about his food), and has less gas!

hit the jackpot
By Samantha on Oct 7, 2020
I have four dogs, all bully breeds. The youngest is 5 and oldest is 12. I was feeding three different kibbles/foods to accommodate GI issues, weight management, allergies, and age. We had tried a variety of proteins and formulas from other brands. I decided to try Nutro Ultra and transitioned all four dogs onto this kibble. It's been a success all around - they love it, it's not causing any flare ups for my sensitive senior (skin and GI), and I'm really happy with the ingredients. My oldest seems to be thriving since starting this kibble - he's got some energy back, he's happy, and seems to be feeling better physically. Highly recommend giving this line a try.

Don't wait buy this for your senior
By Biggn on Oct 2, 2020
Don't wait, buy this for your senior and get him off cheap food. Once transitioned off old food, he dives right in now. His coat is shiner, his eyes clearer and we're only half way through the 1st bag. So happy for my old boy and he is too!
