I received a sample of Nutro cat food and my cats loved it. I have also used their dog food and was satisfied. I got this last bag from chewy.com, comparable price to the store so didn't have to go out. I have 2 cats and I give nutro with another brand to give them variety. They are both doing very well.

My two cats absolutely LOVE their Nutro food and I have tried almost EVERYTHING with them. They actually beg for more and come running when they hear the sound of the bag opening. Also, very glad Chewy carries such a large bag at such a great price! The smaller bags were just not doing it for us, plus the AutoShip really makes it 10x more worth it.

We switched our kitty over to this a few months ago. Like that it is grain-free. She likes it and her poop is less toxic than it always was on Purina One. First time we’d had this delivered from Chewy. Two 5lb bags, one of which was unsealed at the top upon receipt. Food inside may have still been OK, but past experience suggested I shouldn’t risk it on our fuzzy diva. To their credit Chewy sorted the problem out in double-quick efficient fashion, almost unheard of in this day and age where “customer service” is often little more than lip service. Appreciate that, however, maybe Nutro should start quality checking their bags more carefully?

Beyond reading the ingredients and even using your senses to see the quality of the food, the proof is in the animal consuming it. Most of my pets are fussy and sensitive, so the fact that EVERY single one of them love Nutro is impressive. Their eyes & coats are lustrous -which is a window to their health! My fussy old cat would only eat a particular brand of food, but her consumption dropped dramatically, even though she looked plush and healthier. Here, she had been eating from the dogs' bowl of Nutro Ultra. I switched her to Nutro because cats need taurine and different nutrients than dogs and she loves it even more than the old food, which left her stools soft at best and runny at worst.

We adopted her from a neglectful home and this is the best she has ever looked in the 2 years she's been with us, let alone the previous 8 years. I truly believe Nutro cares about the products that they are creating and putting on the shelves for consumers' pets to consume and that matters to me when I am filling their bowls. My pets are all in their peak shape thanks to the good stuff in Nutro. … more

I have five rescue cats, three of which are blind, and they ALL love this food. I can tell they are much healthier on this food. They shed about half as much, their stools are smaller and I only have about one throw up a month between all five cats. It is worth the money to see my cats healthy and happy.

I already knew this was going to be great cat chow b/c rescue cat's former "mom" provided three bags for future use :-) An added bonus is that the product is not too crunchy which is good for this cat with two bad teeth that can't be removed due to heart murmur (anesthesia might kill him).

None of my cats would eat this. I switched them to the Hairball formula and they love it. Must be something in the flavor that is not cat friendly.

I have never written a bad review for anything that I bought. I solely buy from Chewy! My cats don’t like this food. I usually buy Iams Chicken. I thought I would try and mix the two together...that didn’t work at all. Now I’m very low on the Iams that they like. It’s probably just my cats... But a thumbs down from us.

My cats were on expensive prescription diet but this is lower price, has the same ingredients and they can all digest it.

We’ve been buying this for our cat for a few years. She likes it and I like the ingredient list! We will continue to buy from chewy!
