Rachael Ray Nutrish Indoor Complete Chicken, Lentils & Salmon Recipe Dry Cat Food, 14-lb bag

I haven't had a cat in almost 20 years, so I asked our local rescue director what's best to feed her. She recommended the Nutrish cat food. Now I'm going to name the cat "Pushy Cat." LOL she loves it, and I think our dog does, too. This cat started coming into our house through the dog door, ate our dog's kibble for a while, and when the dog stopped chasing her out, we figured we'd been adopted. Sadie (our dog) and Ava (the name the cat came with) seem to be getting along by ignoring each other for now. Nice to have a lap four-legger again. Our other four-leggers were all to big to fit into a lap, even though they'd try.

I hope they never discontinue Rachel Ray Nutrish indoor formula cat food. We adopted our boy seven years ago from a shelter. They said he had digestive issues. First we tried Cat chow which was just ok. Then I picked up some Nutrish, and he just LOVED it! He can't eat other dry foods when I've tried to change it once in awhile but he always wants this one , the small size of the kibble is perfect This brand is perfect for him. If it's not broken...

My cat originally started with the Rachael Ray chicken flavor kibble, but I ordered this flavor for variety. My cat is a middle-aged indoor/outdoor cat and she has maintained her weight on this food very well over the past year...not that weight was ever really a problem for her. She developed a nasty Giardia infection in the fall and even though she didn't feel well she kept eating this food. Willie is 8.5 pounds and the small size of this kibble suits her well. Final information: when we adopted her years ago, we found out that she has latent feline coronavirus which is a GI disease; she has no issues tolerating this food and is energetic. Be aware that it is packaged in a double layer paper bag. I ordered 2 bags and a box of wet food pouches in order to meet the $50 minimum shipping charge, and somehow one of the kibble bags was sliced open by the flimsy pouch box and made a mess of the shipping box and my front hallway when I first lifted the bag up. It was bonanza-time for Willie who was ecstatic about the tasty mess! Anyway, I ripped the hole larger and awkwardly managed to pour the kibble into Willie's airtight storage canister. Attached is a photo of my cat headfirst in the canister; I'd left the room to go look for the lid.

Being budget conscious while avoiding the big brand cat foods isn't always an easy choice. There's certainly no shortage of high quality food on the market these days, even so every cats diet and finicky tastes are not the same. Wasn't sure what to make of Rachael Ray entering the already competitive pet food market, does she even own a cat(s)? I actually wasn't looking for a new dry food, just saw that this might be easier on the budget while not being junk food. After considering the price per pound and quality of the ingredients list for a weight management indoor cat food I decided to take the plunge. Started mixing in this food with the old to ease in the transition. It's been about a month and things are looking good. My cat's don't seem to be over-eating and there haven't been any adverse reactions nor does their breath smell funky. The pellets are just slightly smaller than most other foods, which I'm okay with as it doesn't appear to make eating or digesting any more difficult, still crunchy. I mix in a tiny bit of one of their favorite expensive dry foods, but RR is the bulk of the meal. The bag is not resealable and is made of lined sturdy paper, which is actually easier on the environment compared to plastic bags. All in all, no complaints and we're giving Rachel Nutrish two paws up.
