How much she likes it

She loves Nutro . Been feeding her this for about year and a half. She loves it. I put out tuna some times or some wet food and she prefers her Nutro.

Our cats have been eating this food for years now. One of our girls does throw this food up every now and again but that could be bc she eats it too quickly. The cost of this food has gone up so much since the first time I began buying it and it doesn’t seem to go on sale very often.

I did an experiment that involved providing measured amounts of 7 brands of kibble to my two young adult cats every day for three weeks. This Nutro produce was the clear winner. I've never used it before, so I was a bit surprised. Still, the cats like it.

Good product and awesome delivery

My cat has eaten this food since a kitten. Seems other pet stores do not carry Nutro any longer. Chewy does and with their very quick delivery it is a no brainer

Was my cats favorite but suddenly issues

Was my 2 of my cats favorite- go to food. Suddenly they started vomiting it right back up, assumed the one has other issues going on, the other now wont touch it. Tried a new bag- good for couple days then same stuff happening. Had this issue couple years ago and had to add another food. Could just be my cats but reporting in case anyone else has been experiencing this. Bummed cuz it was my safe bet for a long time. Chewy was very helpful on the matter too, no other complaints.

Have been buying for a long time. Always consistent.

No, no. Me-OW! I have cats. Unlike dogs, cats are finicky. This dry food always satisfies.
