Senior cat seems to like it

I was worried our senior cat Jennifur wasn’t going to like the senior food but it seems she does. She started getting sick from the adult food so I knew it was time

I was worried our senior cat Jennifur wasn’t going to like the senior food but it seems she does. She started getting sick from the adult food so I knew it was time to switch her to something that was mild on her stomach. So far so good.

Our cat’s dry food brand for life

We’ve fed our cat the Nutro brand of dry food since he was a kitten. He’s always been happy and healthy. Great supplement to his daily wet food.

She sorta eats it

Vet told me to start Maumau on senior food. This one rated between a 3 and 4 stars with her. She eats it but not with as much zest as some others. Too bad Chewy

Better than Blue Buffalo

The ingredients are excellent. No by-products like the Blue Buffalo I was feeding along with wet food. My two kitties seem very happy with it, and began eating it

Excellent kibble

Former brand changed it's formula slightly and my cats wouldn't eat it anymore. Nutro was recommended by a friend of mine so I tried a bag. Now on autoship!
