I have a pug puppy and was having such a hard time finding the right brand for my dog. I tried Blue Buffalo first, but it gave him extremely bad gas, non solid poos, and I felt like it was making him gain weight. I tried Purina and then Wellness next, but I saw no improvement. Then I tried Nutro and had to look no further! I love that it is specifically made for small breed pups, so he won't gain weight. He hasn't had any gas and he goes poo very comfortably now. He also really enjoy the small sized bits

My 13 year old Jack Russell won't eat anything and I bought this for my 3 month old Aussie. To my surprise my Jack loves it and I've bought just about every brand out there during her 13 picky eating years.

To start with, this is my first time trying the Nutro brand. My puppy is a very picky eater, but as soon as this food touched her bowl, she was eating happily. She finished her bowl and tried to beg me for more, which is rare! I love how this is a non-gmo food, as I try to feed her as clean as possible. I also love the easy pour feature, as I actually managed to pour the food in the bowl, rather than all over the floor. Overall, my dog is happy with the taste and I'm happy that she's eating something healthy! *I received the product for free from NUTRO

I received a bag of Nutro wholesome essentials as part of a product promotion to try with my puppies. Before opening the bag I noticed that the bag is just the right size. It's not a tiny bag and not a huge bag of food. The bag is also made out of materials that keep moisture from getting into the food before opening the bag. There was no easy open string to pull. We had to cut the bag open, so there was no closing the bag. Once I opened the bag and poured it in the bowl, the fight was on. I have two female puppies. All you could see was two little bodies going round and round growling and chewing. They didn't want to share. Once they finished the bowl, they started looking for more!

Small bites are excellent for small dogs, quality is excellent. Feeds mine for a month and a half! So much for such a small price

With the small bite size pieces, it makes it so much easier for my fur baby, Emma, to eat. Made with healthy ingredients, after just one week she has a shinier, softer coat. She loves dinner time and the Chicken, Brown Rice & Sweet Potato flavor. I got a free sample courtesy of Nutro and soon as this bag is finished, we look forward to trying the other flavors! #NutroFreeSample

I had a puppy show up on my porch a few weeks ago. After searching to no avail for the owner we decided to keep her. She even early on was a picky eater. She either wouldn't eat or just pick at whatever food I gave her. I then was given the opportunity of a free sample from Nutro I jumped at the chance and I am glad I did. We love it. I like the small bits she loves everything I am sold. I'm even impressed with the price.

I have a 7 month old beagle puppy who suffers from dry and itchy skin. I've tried a lot of products to help with it and none of them really worked. I recieved this product free from Nutro and fed it to Alfie for 3 weeks and have never seen him looking and feeling better! He doesn't scratch nearly as much, his coat is soft and shiny, and he doesn't get the energy burst and crash that he gets with other dog foods.
