My little one loves it!
By janroc on Mar 13, 2019
My Shih Tzu puppy loves this food! She jumps up and down standing up in her playpen when she hears me at her bag of food. I didn't realize there was a small breed puppy, but she eats this kibble very well. Charlotte gives two thumbs up!

Wrong size food
By Tammy on Feb 25, 2019
I am sure the food is fine, I just keep ordering the wrong size of food. I know what the bag looks like but having a hard time getting the right size dog food ordered. I think I finally may have changed my next order correctly. Not sure what to do with the last 2 bags that have been delivered.

My pug loves this kibble.
By PorkChopThePug on Mar 10, 2019
Its march 2019 and our 9 month pug devours this formula. He absolutely loves this flavor. Although he is a pug, he doesn't like the "small breed" formula so we just give him the "puppy" version.

By Vanessa on Mar 8, 2019
I’ve been using nutro for over 10 years. So when I got a new puppy I already knew this was the food for him. He loves his food, he’s growing great. This is a great quality food for your fur babies

Kleiner wiggles tails and jumps for his food
By Kleiner on Feb 25, 2019
I did my research for a puppy food and Nutro kept coming up again and again. I read the details of the ingredients and made my decision to put my new pup on Nutro. He loves it! I mix it with green beans or peas.

The only food we give our dog.
By Frannie on Feb 13, 2019
This is the only food we gave our GSP Gretchen and she was 10 when she passed. We will now give the puppy food to our new pup and change from puppy to adult at about 1 year old. Helps with the dog's coat and I trust the ingredients.

Annie is thriving on
By Sushi on Jan 30, 2019
Nutro Essentials. Right now I keep it in her dish all the time but when she gets older I will have to limit how much I feed her because I don't want her to get fat.

Finally!!!
By Suep on Jan 10, 2019
Finally found a kibble my boxer puppy will eat, willingly. I have a senior boxer, on a senior blend. Puppy would eat her food, before puppy food. Switched to same brand, and flavors as senior kibble.
