Claude and Ben like this dry food

I'm pretty fortunate that neither Big Claude nor Benjamin are very picky about what food they eat (aside from Claude preferring dry and Ben preferring wet), but both boys seemed pretty excited about this food. The kibbles are a good size and the kitties ate it without complaint. Too early to tell if there is an effect on their coats, but I am most interested in it's possible benefits for Claude's sensitive digestive system. He has a delicate stomach despite spending the first couple of years of his life as a street cat, so I'm always looking for ways to improve his digestive health and I'm hoping this food does the trick.

I have 4 cats and they all get very excited about this food. I am always looking for other healthy foods to add to their urinary formula for extra benefits and they really liked this one! Benefits include real organ meat and being grain free, which is important for me to provide for them. I also like this formula because it promotes skin and coat health and digestive benefits. I will probably also try their Fat Cat food in the future for my two fat boys!

Cat goes wild for it

High quality kibble that my cat goes crazy for. I feed canned food mostly for the moisture but my cat would eat this all day if she could. I give it in small amounts

Cats Seemed to Enjoy

I was a little hesitant to try to this food since it doesn’t have the variety or texture my cats were used to — I worried they wouldn’t go for it. But I was wrong!

I was a little hesitant to try to this food since it doesn’t have the variety or texture my cats were used to — I worried they wouldn’t go for it. But I was wrong! They took to it right away and seem to really enjoy it. I also think the smaller kibble size made it easier for my older cat to eat comfortably, which was a nice bonus.

Natural Balance Ultra + Protein arrived pretty early. I wasn't expecting it to arrive so early so my daughter recieved the package and opened it for me. She left it at the entrance of the house on the other side of the fence. It must smell wonderful because our cat Larry leaped over the fence and chewed right through the bag! The bag was attractive and had all the facts about the product. It is 40% protein, great for their skin and coat as well as their digestive health. t is a big hit with all my cats.

My Cat says this is a great tasting food!

I added this in to my cat's food a little bit at a time while giving her less of her old food and she seems to really like it. I don't always like to change foods

I added this in to my cat's food a little bit at a time while giving her less of her old food and she seems to really like it. I don't always like to change foods if she is doing well on one already, but I would not want to eat the same food every day of my life, so this was a great choice! No issues going in or out.

Crazy Kitty Cravings!

Seems another typical food to try. But, the kitties didn't act all weird about it, they actually LOVE it! The small kibble size is easy for the old kitty to handle

Seems another typical food to try. But, the kitties didn't act all weird about it, they actually LOVE it! The small kibble size is easy for the old kitty to handle. Served next to their favorite, up to now, the bowl is empty fast. Salmon and Chicken, the kitties usually prefer one meat not a mix. This wasn't snubbed, it is asked for! Glad to find something a bit more healthy for them that they actually love and eat.

Good dry food according to my cats!

My 2 Birman cats are not a big fan of dry food but they both started eating some when I opened the bag and put some into their bowl. Good sign that they like it!

My 2 Birman cats are not a big fan of dry food but they both started eating some when I opened the bag and put some into their bowl. Good sign that they like it! Salmon is the number one ingredient and my cats love fish! It is also perfect for their skin and coat and also their digestive issues! I also love that the product is grain free ☺️ I only wish that the bag could seal again after being opened

Cat eats it fine

My cat was happy to eat this. The kibble seemed smaller than other dry cat foods we have bought before. I would buy this food again if it isn’t too expensive or

My cat was happy to eat this. The kibble seemed smaller than other dry cat foods we have bought before. I would buy this food again if it isn’t too expensive or on sale. I’m not sure of any health benefits as he hasn’t eaten it long enough to notice anything.
