Review: Binx loves this food - My cat Binx is very picky and has a sensitive stomach. She loves nutro. I have tried many brands and this is the only one that doesn’t make her vomit. It seems to be easier on her stomach & another bonus is her litter box isn’t super smelly anymore. I love that it’s non gmo. Her favorites are the chicken & duck. I buy both and mix them together. She’s been on this brand for nearly a year now and her coat is very shiny and she doesn’t cough up hairballs all the time anymore. That used to be quite an issue with her before we tried this food. I did try nutro’s hairball formula and she didn’t care for the flavor, but she ate it when I mixed it into her chicken/duck mixture. I haven’t fed her the hairball mix in probably 4 months and she’s still not having issues. I do cook her fresh salmon every now and then but I think this food has really helped her. Her jet black fur nearly shimmers in the sun, it’s so shiny and silky. Binx was a stray and her fur was really rough & ratty before. Her fur was about as nice as a dollar store stuffed animal. She was very young and this kitten mix was her favorite then.
Review: My Kittens love this food and are very healthy! - My kittens really love this dry food and go crazy when they hear the bag open both morning and night. It must taste really good because they always eat all of the kibbles and never leave any behind. The kibbles are small which is just perfect for kittens. There are no artificial colors or flavors and are made of very nutritious ingredients. It does not smell bad at all either. They are very healthy and got an A+ from the Vet so I will continue to purchase this brand for as long as they are kittens and can move onto the adult dry food. Their coat is healthy and shiny so this food must be helping them grow into fabulous adults! I have always trusted the Nutro brand and have used their products for over 10 plus years with my animals. This is another bag of food that I will continue to purchase for my kittens and recommend to any Kitten Owners.
