Kittens need more protein and fat while adult cats should avoid too much fat or protein to maintain a healthy weight. It is best to give them their own specific food.

my kitten loves this!

When we adopted our kitten, she was on Royal Canin Persian kitten food. I wanted a more natural, more real-ingredient food for her and found this! I love that it doesn’t have meat by-products in it! She’s loved it since the first time we gave it to her and her tummy had no issue with the change! If anything, she loves it too much and is always begging for more!

Our cats love Nutro kitten food

Nutro kitten food is one of our cats favorite dry foods. They eat it daily and really enjoy it.

Decent dry food

I'm not fond of giving cats dry food at all, but with needing to have food available all the time for the kittens, this is a pretty good one. Of course, the adults were scarfing it down, so we still have to pick it up during the day. Everybody (felines) loves it.

he seems to like it with wet food

Needed some easy on-the-tummy kitten food for a kitten with gastro problems that led to diarrhea. This product has been helpful and tasty for him. I like that the kibble is tiny and easily crunched up by a 7-week-old kitten. So far we have been happy with it. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 is that he only eats a little bit when it is placed in his bowl alone, it takes a while for it to be gone...

Cats luv this food

I recently got a kitten nd wanted a fd tht I felt would be gr8t nd I tried this. I'm not a fan of blue Buffalo or sum of thee other higher brands but this is by far thee best kitten fd ever. My 11 yr old diabetic cat even luvs to munch on this at times. My kitten went right fr this nd will even ask fr it. The ingredients are are on point nd was a huge hit wth me. I'll b using this fd fr a very long time. Do wish they made larger bags. Highly recommend this.

Shelter recommended

Got our new kitties 3 weeks ago and the shelter had them on this. Used to use Iams for my old cat and was fine with it. Liked that this has more nutrient-dense and less filler. Size is perfect. Split the portions between morning/night so they can eat twice since they were still hungry if only fed 1x/day.

Our 8 wk kitten loves this

We received our kitten at less than 10 days old so from week 4 we introduced food and he ignored all we tried but this brand Nutro for Kittens were smaller in size for him, and he went right to it. We tried other very expensive brands that were no grain, but this is the one he likes so this is one he will eat .

my elderly cats have been eating this for years

My elderly cats eat this because they love the taste and the morsels are tiny which is easier on their teeth. Even the dog tries to get at it. I wish they made it in jumbo bags.

My kitten is happy

I recently switched my kitten from Farmina to this food. Farmina has quality control issues and ridiculous customer service. I decided to try this food, and my kitten took it immediately. I will stick with it as long as he is happy and healthy.

Great Stuff!

My cat isn't fully grown and I've tried several kitten friendly no grain dry foods. Some are so hard she cannot chew them well, but this one is perfect for her and makes me feel like a good pet owner bc the ingredients are healthy for her still growing body.
