My picky adult cats love this!
By Nicole on Oct 17, 2020
I have 5 cats, 2 adults and 3 kittens. My kittens aren't interested in this food. I don't know if it's the food itself, or the fact that the pieces are larger. They like the smaller American Journey kibble. However, my VERY picky adults love this food, so I guess I'm just stuck buying both, LOL! Tired of looking for a healthy brand that all 5 will eat. The struggle is real y'all! I like the ingredients and quality of this food and the price is very reasonable!

They love love loved it!
By TexasCatLady on Oct 9, 2020
I ordered this after emailing back and forth with Purina’s customer service department. Our cats used to be addicted to their Nutro MaxCat but unfortunately the company stopped making it. This was the option recommended by the CS Dept. Our kitties eat every flavor Beyond offers plus they always had a bowl of the max cat. I crossed my fingers and tried this one. It was the first bag emptied this time around! A big meow thank you from our furry kids!

Charlotte and Natasha love this
By Msmaria on Sep 24, 2020 Top 1000 Contributor
It’s hard to find a dry that they both agree on but this one works. My kittos cringe at anything grain free. I have no idea why but this one is the best of both worlds. Grain free and they like it. Maybe I will grab a few cans of Nutro wet and see how that goes and if it goes well I will buy a case of any selections that go well.

new food for fussy girls
By Lynn on Oct 6, 2020
Nutro is a great food, & I'm afraid that my senior girls are starting to like less healthy food. I'm not sure what to do now. My younger cat, loves it. It's a great healthy meal. I guess we will serve two different kibbles. Fussy girls! Still love them.

Great replacement for Max Cat dry food
By Ash3000 on Jul 3, 2020
I have always used Max Cat dry food (made by Nutro) for my cats. I was very sad when it became discontinued and wasn't sure what to get that was healthy for my cats, tasty for them, and affordable. So, I decided to try another Nutro dry cat food and so far so good! It is affordable, but still healthy for my cat. She eats every bite, so I'm assuming its tasty as well. She does tend to act more hungry than usual on this food, so I did add a scoop to her diet. I think its just because it has a low calorie count due to being an indoor mix. But the extra scoop makes her content and I haven't noticed any weight gain yet, she is still very healthy.

My cat likes it
By Fluffernutter on Sep 12, 2020
Our other dry cat food was discontinued and this is the closest thing I could find. While it is not cute little cat head shaped like the previous food, my cat seems to like it. We are satisfied.

A Kitty Favorite
By CatLady on Aug 8, 2020
I have been feeding my kitty a mixture of Max Cat and Nutro Essentials for several years now. Since Max Cat has been pulled from the market, she will be transitioning to this one only - If there are any problems with that, I will get back to you all.

Cats are not too thrilled about this food
By Benja on Aug 24, 2020
I ordered 4 different brands of bags to try this monthly round. Among all of them, this one is the least popular. All my 9 cats walks away after smelling it. I won't purchase it again.

Good ingredients but
By Raysofhope on May 26, 2020 Top 500 Contributor
I have purchased this nutro essentials indoor food for my cat for over a year. But it seems in recent months they must’ve change the ingredients or something? Now she doesn’t seem to be particularly Interested any longer. She does not get fed freestyle. She gets fed a tablespoon of food several times a day as we try to watch her weight. So when she leaves Kibble in her dish, it tells me somethings wrong with the food. I have several cats so I figured well I just feed some of that to them but they don’t care for that much either. I am truly disappointed as it does have decent ingredients and I just purchased several bags. Not sure what I’m going do with it now..
