All ages will eat this food
By jimvw on Jun 1, 2020
Started feeding this food to our 5 week old kittens last year. Now at almost a year old, they still gobble it up. Our adult and senior rescue cats eat it also. The tiny kibble is easier for our cats with missing teeth to eat. We set out 6 bowls of this food in the four different colonies each morning and refill them every evening. They still eat fancy feast and royal canin but in much lesser quantities. Since we started using this variety, we have noticed little to no vomiting. Very glad we found this variety!

Cats didn’t like it, just smelled it and walked away!
By Jane722 on Jul 13, 2020
Wish Chewy offered samples or smaller single purchases so we can try out different foods cats might eat. I have two picky eaters. Wish I could try different pet foods and not see pet food go to waste.

My kittens love Nutro
By Hairballheaven on Apr 1, 2020
I have tried at least 5 or 6 brands of kitten foods recently ranging from mid level to expensive. A couple of bags I gave away because the kittens would NOT eat it. They loved Nutro Max Kitten but it’s not going to be made anymore which is what started the search for new food. Nutro Wholesome seems to be the winner for my 2 6 mos old kittens. I think they now prefer the new Nutro wholesome over the old Nutro Max. Their fur is soft as cotton and they are very healthy, active & eat with enthusiasm. I will continue to feed them Nutro Wholesome, they love it and are healthy.

food for thought
By Meeka on Jun 29, 2020
why does the food pieces very so? My cat Meeka I think prefers the bits rather then the dime size. But that is not a Chewy issue...they are always great!

Picky Kitten
By Cemiya on Apr 24, 2020
Unfortunately I am unable to find any dry food my bengal kitten will eat! He looooves raw & cooked meat and I even tried topping it with that but he wont touch it! This brand is no different. Luckily the stray outside we feed thinks its great.

By Fussy on Apr 27, 2020
My new cat does not like this food but my new cat doesn’t seem to like any cat food. She is very fussy. I do love the nutro brand pet foods for my 2 dogs, they love it. Hope I find something my cat likes soon.

My cat's favorite
By Pickybee on Feb 15, 2020
I've tried many brands of food for my two kittens and this one is their favorite, hands down! They really go crazy for this food. Unfortunately I was forced to switch them to a food that they dont like as much because one of the cats is overweight and he is barely 9 months. What was happening is that I would put food out for 2 cats and the male cat would eat the female cat's portion. Now, with the new food, there is no competition and the male cat doesn't constantly beg for food as he would for nutro. Kitten food tends to be higher in calories than adult food, this is why I plan on switching them back to this brand when they reaches 1 year of age.

Nutro kitten food
By RLMS on Apr 3, 2020
The Nutro brand I was feeding was discontinued so I switched to this kind. I was surprised how tiny the pieces are. My 3 kids eat it OK, they are 6 months old now, but I don't know how tiny it is for them so I will switch to a different kind with a bigger kernel.
