I have a long haired cat that has always had hairball issues.  Also, recently my cat had a very bad episode that led us to the vet.  He was hacking like he does when he has hairballs, but there was a lot of pain and pain cries that he was having.  We had to rush him to the vet and they were unable to put an exact cause on what happened, but the Vet highly recommended we change his food to Nutro b/c it was very healthy for him and sensitive on the stomache.  On top of all that, it also has reduced his hairballs.  It is a great choice for pet food and I highly recommend it to other cat owners.

I have 6 cats: 1 has a heart condition, 2 have sensitive stomaches, 1 breaks out in hives when eating most other brands of cat food and another has a history of bladder stones; as you can imagine, finding one kind cat food that would work for all 6 was quite the task. My very picky cats love this food and it seems to agree with everybody's stomach/skin/bladder/heart. It is a little pricey, though. Overall, I would recommend it to anyone who is looking to feed their cat quality food.

As a first-time cat owner, I researched ingredients to look for in cat food.  No by-products in this cat food.  It must smell yummy to my cat, because the first couple times I brought it home, my cat would tear into the bag, even though other food was in the bowl.  My cat even learned to open the pantry door to tear into the bag.

I bought this food for my dog because, as a puppy, he was prone to digestive problems.  This food cleared up his stomach aches (he no longer whined after eating) and significantly reduced the number of bowel movements he was having with the lower quality food.  I also noticed that he had more energy and a shinier coat.  It is NOT cheap, however- so be prepared to spend more if you decide to switch to Nutro.

I used to feed by pets Friskies Dry Food from the grocery store. My cats were overweight and eating constantly! I found a link to a coupon for a free bag of Nutro on a freebie site one day so I got them a bag at Pet Smart. I am in love! The main ingredient in Nutro in protien, rather then the cornmeal, etc. that cheaper brands use as filler. My cats have shinier coats, eat less because its more filling and their litter box is actually less stinky. It's a bit more expensive then cheaper brands, but I believe it evens out in the end since they eat less. There are almost always coupons on the Nutro site if you wanted to save some money while trying out a new brand. Highly recommended!

I think that this food is great.  I feed it to all my cats that live indoors.  It is nice to know that the food has no by-products and has all the nutrients they need.  Plus my cats love it.  I had recently rescued a cat and started feeding her Nutro.  She has sinced lost weight (she was big when I got her) her coat is now softer and the vet says she is much healthier now.  I think that the quality is well worth the price to keep my cats happy and healthy.

I ADOPTED A CAT WHO WAS IN FRAGILE HEALTH. SHE ONLY WEIGHED 4#S AND HER FUR WAS FALLING OUT. I DIDN'T THINK SHE WOULD SURVIVE BUT DECIDED SHE NEEDED A WILLING HEART AND AN OPPORTUNITY TO SHOW ME WHAT SHE WOULD BE LIKE IF HEALTHY.AFTER GETTING HER HEALTHY ENOUGH TO EAT DRY FOOD; I WENT TO THE PET SUPER STORE AND BOUGHT THIS FOR MY INDOOR CAT. SHE HAD BEEN FINICKY TURNING HER NOSE UP AT THE ROYAL CANINE AND THE CANNED FOODS SHE HAD BEEN OFFERED.SHE SEEMED TO TAKE TO THIS IMMEDIATELY AND I HAVE KEPT HER ON IT THE PAST YEAR.SHE IS NOW UP TO 8#S AND IS VERY HEALTHY.HER EYES ARE SPARKLY AND CLEAN. HER COAT IS LONG, SMOOTH AND SILKY TO THE TOUCH. SHE RARELY SHEDS AND ONLY WHEN I BRUSH HER COAT.WE DON'T HAVE HAIRBALLS AND SHE IS A HIMALAYAN!SHE ONLY EATS ABOUT 1/3 CUP PER DAY AND SHE IS REGULAR; BUT EVACUATES ONLY ONCE PER DAY. THERE ISN'T THE UNPLEASANT ODOR ASSOCIATED WITH MOST CAT FOODS. THIS IS A BIG DEAL SINCE MY HUSBAND WAS, INITIALLY, AGAINST HAVING A CAT IN THE FAMILY. NOW SHE SLEEPS NEXT TO HIM EVERY NIGHT. LOLGREAT CAT FOOD AND INEXPENSIVE SINCE IT TAKES LITTLE TO SATISFY THE NEEDS OF YOUR PET. WHAT THEY EAT, THEY USE SINCE IT ISN'T FULL OF BY PRODUCTS AND FILLERS THAT WOULD PASS THROUGH.

When we got a kitty she had a lot of problems with eating and keeping food down. After eating regular food--tried Iams and several other brands--she threw it up within minutes. Obviously, I was worried about her. After trying many different brands of food we went to a local pet shop and the owner, who had cats, suggested Nutro's natural choice complete care. I tried a bag and have never fed my cat anything else ever again. Since my kitty started eating this particular food she has never thrown up again. She loves the food and I believe that the ingredients are superior to the other brands that I tried. This cat food is not inexpensive but it is definitely worth every penny. Also, I use an automatic pet feeder to control my kitty's weight and the size of this food works well with the machine so that is a plus as well. I highly recommend this cat food.

I have been in animal rescue for 11 years.  I have advised hundreds of people to stop using Purina food when they complain about how much their dogs and cats poop, up to 3 or 4 times a day.  Every single one on follow up reported their animals changed to once a day elimination.  It is obvious that more of the food was being utilized by the animals instead of filler and passing through unused.  I always support the Nutro product reps when I see them in the stores. My vet approves of this line of food and it is much less expensive than many other comparable brands.  There are indeed other lines out there that are good, however they are either more expensive or my cats would not eat them.  I have never had a problem with any of my cats eating every single type of food and since I have multiple cats that have lived to very old age, I can stay with Nutro and change to the indoor or senior types as needed.

I love this product!  I used to use Pro Plan and decided to switch over to nutro after a Petsmarts associate talked to me about this product.  I could tell that my cats have a healthier and shinnier coat.  They have less hairballs and stool smells a lot less.  It might be a bit costly, but my cats enjoy the taste of Nutro brand food better.
