My almost 5 year old boy #GraysonGreen has eaten this since he changed from kitten food, he does not care for wet food, I have tried them ALL! I have also tried samples of other dry foods and he loves the Nutro chicken and brown rice. We added to our little family and brought home a kitten #MonaClaire, she does not want to eat her kitten kibble, she kicks him out of his bowl. So feeding them has been a chore, we have to feed her first with kitten kibble and then fed him. Hes a good boy and doesnt mind waiting. She loves wet food so we give her some at dinner time, he'll lick it a couple times and thats all. His coat has always been so soft and shiny and he has always been ideal weight.

We have a Cattery and this was recommended to us by a vet for our very picky Persians and they not only love it, but their beautiful coats are getting even thicker, and they got healthier! I spray a little catnip spray on a handful of this food and they love it as a treat in the place of Temptations! It's Great! After getting this food, they even quit eating their Special Kitty Turkey & Cheese in Gravy canned food they loved that the vet had told us was bad for them! Win Win!!

My 4 cats love this food. They've been eating the same food for a couple years now and they still get excited about it and devour every kibble. They all are able to maintain a healthy weight for lazy indoor cats. The high fiber keeps them from getting hairballs. The yucca significantly reduces the amount of odor that comes from the litter box. People at the vet's office and guests that come over constantly comment on how soft their fur is. Definitely recommend!

I used to buy Meow Mix and my Vet told me “Look at the ingredients.” And I did, I didn’t like what I saw. He told me about this brand of food. All three of my cats, eat this wth no problem. Moment of them are picky eaters either. But I’ve noticed that their fur and skin looks much better since I’ve change their food. And I limit their treats as well. Best food for my cats.

I had used Nutro products for several years. I then switched to an organic brand, which I thought would be better for my cats, but they stopped eating it. So we're back to Nutro. Bonus that they're gmo free!

I switched to this from another premium dry food to see if an allergic dermatitis problem in one of my kitties would clear up. It did! Both my girls are very healthy and happy on this cat food.

My indoor rescue cat loves this brand after trying several others. Sometimes I think she could eat two bowls per day if I allowed it. Excellent brand of pet food.

My cats don't like this food as much as the other one I was using (Earthborn Primitive Feline) but I am trying it because it doesn't contain fish in this formula.

My cat Loves this food. I just keep her bowl full & she free-feeds. It has always made her litter box easy to clean,too! If you know what I mean!

I have 5 cats with different sensibilities and bought this food because it seems to be easily digestible according to the reviews and the previous brand I had fed was discontinued. Decent ingredients, priced fair and liked by my cats, looked like a winner. So far it has agreed with their sensitive tummies, but I noticed a change in their coat recently. Not sure if the food is to blame or not, but I will keep an eye on that. Also, after a few bags their enthusiasm about it has come to an end. I might have to switch again.
