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 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.

Our cats have been on Nutro Indoor Chicken for over 5 years. Have tried other brands occasionally but end up giving unused portions away since they don't like..so don't bother to buy anything else now but Nutro Indoor. They are healthy and have shiny coats so works well for us.

I just purchased this food for my cats as a change and I liked the ingredients. They love it. All the flavors. I will purchase every month. A bit pricey but you don't need to feed as much food to them as the cheaper brands. Nutro was recommended by my vet and I will stay with it.

My cats are 16 years and 15 years old thier tastes and desires seem to change. WITH THAT SAID. Within the past year they have always ate all the food in thier dish, which was this brand, this time however, they are shying away from it.

Cats seem to love. Only complaint is they seem to have twice as much waste in litter since switching to this brand. Wondering if they are retaining enough nutrients before its evacuated???? Not as much waste when using Iams.....

I have 2 senior cats so I was looking for a quality food they would eat. This product is great. Both cats really like it and it doesn't upset their stomachs.

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.

This is one of the two kinds of dry food I give my cats. The other one is Solid Gold chicken. They like both and it doesn't make them puke like other kinds do.
