i have 4 cats, i switched to this food due to one of my cats have stomach problems. she has had problems with every food i have tried, brands different sensitivity options in brands. this food has been working amazingly for her stomach! unfortunately the only thing im not the biggest fan of is the bag sizes, like i said i have 4 cats and i had to switch them all. so the 5pound bag goes VERY quickly. other than how much you can get in one bag i have zero problems! every cat is different, this food works the best for us.

For my indoor kitty's digestive health

Regular adult food seemed to be causing overly soft stools. This fixed the problem and she loves it!

I trust Nutro products. I’ve used this food for a while now because one of my cats tended to throw up after eating other dried cat foods. Neither of my cat has had any problem since I’ve switched to this product. I truly believe it is more gentle on their stomachs than most dry cat foods.
