By onnalora on Dec 31, 2020

thank goodness it's a good replacement for Nutro Wild that went off the market
By imdragonfly2 on Nov 5, 2020
I am not happy that the nuggets are much smaller than the Nutro Wild and some of the ingredients changed but I have to say I tried both this flavor and the chicken flavor and my guys liked it right away except for one who I was concerned about but after a few days of mixing he finally came around and is happy eating this revised updated changed Nutro dry food with brown rice.

Some cats like it, but the crumbles..,,,
By AALL on Oct 11, 2020
I've been buying this dry cat food for a few years now. I have a lot of cats. About 1/2 of the cats do like it, however, about 50% of the time I buy it, it is very crumbly. I actually have to sift the food to get the crumbs and small pieces out, before I put some in bowls for the cats. This last bag is horrible! I should have returned it, but I bought it a while ago. It's a decent food but beware of the crumbs!

Perfect kibble size
By Alex on Oct 8, 2020
I've been thru a lot of cat food, but this is the best. I have a fussy eater that's also prone to swallowing without chewing, then she has to throw up. It was maddening. The kibbles are twice as large than any other cat food, so my cat has to actually chew it. And since my cat also has food intolerance, she can't eat anything with chicken or beef, so the fact that this is made with fish helps with that, too.

Finally found a substitute for discontinued Maxx Cat salmon that my cat ate for years. She is pretty picky so had to go thru quite a few brands to find one she liked.
