Cats approved
By DeeM on Mar 30, 2019
My 3 cats really enjoy this food and have been eating it for years now. Every once in awhile we do get a bad bag and they stop eating it. I have gotten in the habit of smelling the food to make sure it is good and getting a new bag monthly to keep it nice and fresh.

Finicky cats
By Joan on Jan 28, 2019
My cats are finicky eaters. Plus, at times, they seem to throw up after eating. So, I decided it was time for a change. I switched from Blue Buffalo Sensitive Stomach dry food to Nutro dry food. They love both the chicken flavor and fish flavor. Plus, no more throw up! Next I switched from Purina One wet food to Science Diet. They are still finicky about that, but I warm it up for 10 seconds in the microwave and they will eat it. What we do for our beloved pets! Thanks, Chewy,

Great Cat Food
By GranB on Feb 24, 2019
My cat loves all the different recipes of Nutro Wholesome Essentials Adult. I have been feeding him Nutro Essentials since he was a kitten, he is now 12yrs old and survived a large dog attack 2yrs ago and still runs around like a kitten!

Holy Salmon
By Kirstie on Jan 2, 2019 Top 50 Contributor
As soon as I opened the bag, all I could smell was salmon! I only feed Nutro products to my pets and they all have incredibly soft and lustrous coats. The cats that we are fostering lost some excess weight and they shed less. I don't think that any of the cats are picky, however, they scarf their Nutro down like it's the tastiest thing they've had. I know that they're healthy, too.

My Girl's Favorite!
By MLane51 on Mar 10, 2019
Been feeding my cats Nutro foods for years. My current girl, Penny, won't touch any other dry food variety. She likes what she likes and that's fine by me.

Great so far
By ResQr on Dec 31, 2018
Started feeding Nutro Essentials to my rescued cats a year ago. I was surprised they ate it since they would never eat the Nutro Max. The ingredients sound healthy. Contains no "animal" products or "flavors" as many other dry foods contain. Wasn't sure about the herbs included but no health issues so far. The price here at Chewy has been less than other retailers.

Cats love salmon
By Marshamystic on Feb 13, 2019
My cats were sneaking pieces of dry salmon dog food, so I decided to try a salmon cat food. All three cats (ages 10, 12, 18) love it, and its great to see the eldest cat eating alot more.

Something is different
By DebB on Jan 18, 2019
I bought this a while back. My cats seemed to really like it. But it hasn't received the same enthusiasm as before. My younger cat Punkin won't eat it at all. My older cat Denny eats it but not impressed. I just don't understand. Did they change their recipe??
