Great Kitten Food
By Tommy on Feb 10, 2021
While I am not a big fan of kibble, I would prefer to give my kitten wet food, I am pleased with this product. My kitten had been eating this food since he was little (before I got him) so I kept him on this and I will transition him to wet food when he is an adult (we are working on getting him used to it now because it is soon approaching). But he loves this food and I love the ingredients in it! It is formulated specifically for kitten growth and development and from what I can tell by researching it, the ingredients they claim that do this is correct. The only downside to this food is the higher level of plant ingredients and high carb percentage.

Wet cat food is very difficult to find in a good variety so having this as something I know he will love is great! I can't wait until he is an adult and I can try all manner of foods for him! … more

Best food for my gang!
By Sukismom on Feb 5, 2021
I always mix at least 2 or 3 different dry foods together for my kitties. They love the different textures and flavors and the health benefits from different high end brands always means my crew is getting optimum nutrition. The different shapes also keep my kitties from eating too fast without chewing and also helps to scrape tarter off their teeth when they chew! Nutro is always in the mix with my combo! I also foster kittens for a rescue and they provide food but I always purchase Nutro to supplement their diet and I recommend it to their new families when they get adopted!

Awesome kitten food!
By Julie on Feb 3, 2021
I rescued a stray kitten 3 months old, and he had worms/parasites, so was put on medication, giving him a sensitive stomach (poor thing!). I bought several different brands of food, and he did the best on this Nutro kitten food. Every time I tried the other dry kitten foods, he threw up. He never throws up with this cat food. It's easily eaten and digested. He's 6 months now and is growing fast and coat is very soft. I'll keep using this food - he loves it too!

Good for Kittens
By DBermadette on Apr 15, 2021
No complaints about this product. Kittens like it and the kibble is mini sized, so they have no trouble eating it. The ingredients are decent as well.

Great value
By Carrisa on Mar 5, 2021
I’ve got a Sphinx kitten, and this one hasn’t cause him any diarrhea or soft stool like a couple other brands that I’ve tried. He likes it and I love it!

Best Clean Kitten food
By xkatev128 on Nov 30, 2020
I used to use Royal Canin Kitten food then I realized that the ingredients they used were really low quality. It prompted me to look for better alternatives and price was not an issue. I tried the Nulo Kitten food as well but my kitten didn't really like the texture. When I receive this Nutro Kitten food, I had him taste test it and he was obsessed! I also found this as one of the best clean kitten food in the market and it is so affordable! I am so glad I found this!!

Best cat food brand out there.
By Hayley on Jan 6, 2021
I’ve used Nutro cat food for many years with my other cats. So of course had to get it for the new kitten. It’s great chewy carries this brand as it’s so hard for me to find locally.
