Excellent customer service support!!
By Becca on May 4, 2020
Before this pandemic, chewy orders arrived in 2-4 days after my order was placed. My most recent auto ship order was split and took 12 and 13 days to arrive! I was not expecting this and had to go buy a bag of cat food at the store because I'd ran out. Upon receipt of my order it looked like it had been dropped and when I opened it, the plastic container of Temptations cat treats had busted and cat treats and plastic container pieces spilled out everywhere! Normally shipments are packed well and this doesn't happen! I messaged chewy about the issue and received a message back within 2 hours!! Chewy refunded my Temptations cat treats. Despite the slow shipping right now which is the case Before this pandemic, chewy orders arrived in 2-4 days after my order was placed.

Only food brand that works
By Nickname on Apr 29, 2020
I have two "special needs" cats. They are paralyzed and cannot control bladder and bowels. To the hassle of manual expressing came persistent diarrhea. Imagine the mess... I tried a variety of different foods, and as soon as they were eating Nutro dry food, the poop cleared up and we haven't had any issues since. What a relief! I am not a fan of dry food, my other cats eat canned exclusively. But hey- whatever works best! Occasionally when I run out and feed something else, the diarrhea comes back instantly.

Great for old cats
By chemhawk11 on Apr 28, 2020
We have an older cat and a younger cat. The older one was very overweight and has a very sensitive stomach and skin. Our new veterinarian recommended this brand. She has done the best on this food after trying multiple brands including prescription ones. After a year on this, she has finally reached a healthy weight, her skin problems are nearly completely gone and she rarely vomits anymore. We are beyond pleased with the quality of this brand and how good has been for both of our kitties!

Not the same
By Crazycatlady on May 10, 2020
My cat have been eating Nitro Max Cat for years and loved it. My cats do not like this replacement on its own. Fortunately I had some MaxCat left to mix in and hopefully transition. Once the MaxCat is gone if my cats still won't eat it, I will have to get MaxCat elsewhere.

Half like it half not so much.
By Animals1271 on Apr 17, 2020 Top 500 Contributor
I have 16 kitties I rescued off the streets. Once a year they decide the food I'm feeding is boring, so I go on a hunt for new. This was one of them. Half of my babies liked it and the other half not so much. I'm now feeding this food and another. I hope they are happy for a while.

Not happy with this food
By Jean on Apr 2, 2020
First thanks to chewy for their great service in these difficult times. Second BOO to Nutro Max. In comparison to their previous food they made the bag two lbs smaller and at the same time raised the price $5. Several of my cats are actually picking out and not eating this new food mixed with the old. In the future i will change.

Babies loved it
By Jacky on Apr 17, 2020
I normally purchase this brand but couldn't get the Max cat original. I had no other choice because of the wasted bags of other brands purchased in the past, so I crossed my fingers that my babies would like it. Amazingly they are eating it.

My cats love this food!
By JonandLauren on Mar 12, 2020
I have 5 cats, and they all love this food. I have some relatively picky eaters, so getting them all to agree on something can be tricky. I’ve tried to introduce another food to them two times, and they hated it each time- so much so, that they started eating the dog’s food instead. Instantly happy when I brought this food back! My cats remain happy, healthy, energetic, and soft while on this food! Highly recommend!

My cat loves this food
By FibsMom on May 1, 2020
I switched to this from Nutro Kitten food when my cat was just short of 1 year old. He had no digestive problems with the switch and he really loves it. Sometimes he prefers this over his raw food.
