Nutro Wholesome Essentials Senior Dry Cat Food, Chicken & Rice, 3 lb | Real chicken #1 ingredient, essential antioxidants (Vitamin E & Selenium), Omega-6 for skin & coat, hairball control

I have a red tabby about to turn 18. He's been on nutro his whole life. He's always been free fed never been overweight. He has slimmed down as to be expected with age. Tried giving him a more "premium" brand and he absolutely did not want to transition. I have since added some wet food into his daily diet. Also nutro. My only issue ever has been availability. Before Amazon I would have to go to a pet supply store for nutro. Walmart etc only sell garbage food that should really change.

My cat really likes to dine and dash. This makes sure she doesn't over eat. A great value and quality. I don't have to open cans and clean up messy dishes.

I have two cats, now 13 and 14 years old, respectively. My ex-gf got me started on feeding them Nutro when I got the first kitten years ago. The product has changed names a few times, now being called Nutro "Wholesome Essentials" - but it is essentially the same product, as for as I can tell. As an aside, I'm curious to see if there's much difference between this and the new "Grain Free" type that Nutro now offers. I started them out with Nutro for Kittens, then progressed to Adult and later the Indoor varieties, and in the last few years have been feeding them the Senior Indoor type. That said, I feel that feeding my cats Nutro has been one of the best decisions I've made for my little critters. While it's not uncommon for cats to develop feeding issues as they get older, my guys have always loved the Nutro I feed them every day. I give them about a teacup-full size portion daily, and I find that this makes a 14lb bag last about two months. In the entire time I've had them on this diet, my cats have never had any dietary issues or undue sickness or infection, at all. It's actually incredible to me that they've faired so very well, and I give no small amount of credit to the balanced nutrition they get from Nutro.

We adopted a 16lb 7 year old cat and we didn't know what kind of eating habits that he had. The guy likes to eat, period! A 16 lb cat can, and will eat a lot and this immediately became an issue for us. We wanted something with natural ingredients and a best value for price per unit, to stretch our dollar. Previous foods he kept craving and whining for, telling me that there was something that was triggering his reward and compulsive centers that kept him meowing all hours for more in his bowl. With this brand, we feed him between 3/4 cup to 1 cup per day, once in the morning, and it sustains him until the next day. We are on par to get 2.5 months out of this 14lb bag which breaks down to $0.48 a day. Thats a good value in my book. Lastly, his stool. He has a habit of not covering his litter and while on other foods, there was a terribly foul odor coming from his pans. He still doesnt cover his litter, but since switching, we no longer wake up to a foul smell encompassing the entire first floor. Rather, a smell, coming from his litter box area.

My cat loves nutro and I couldn't find it anywhere had to order off of amazon

We ordered this for three housecats, and this 13-lb bag seemed to work well. Our oldest cat passed away, and we found that the large bag wasn't consumed quickly enough to stay fresh. I'd consider ordering a smaller bag and having it delivered more frequently to keep the product really fresh. It's really a concern with high-quality kibble, because the cheap stuff is basically corn and filler. This is not, so there's more to become spoiled in it. The cats really love it, though.

My cat is 14 years old and she has always been thin and more of a “grazer”, but recently she had begun drastically dropping weight. She was hardly able to keep food hard and vomiting about every other day (if not every day at the worst of it). She was literally skin and bones and went from being a playful and vivacious cat to sleeping about 23 hours a day. We were feeding her Blue Buffalo (sensitive stomach formula) because we thought it would help her keep food down and I thought it was working for a while until she just could hardly keep it down. I was desperate to find another formula and out of “next day delivery” desperation, ordered this one. I’m not exaggerating when I say I think this food saved my cats life. She’s eating way more than she has been and has only thrown up twice in the 3 weeks since we’ve been feeding her this food. She’s put on some needed weight and she seems to have more energy. I’m hoping this trend continues so that she can stay healthy.

My senior cat has always had tummy issues. I’m not just talking about the I-ate-too-fast-and-regurgitated-all-my-food kind of issues, I’m talking about loose stool (that looks like a cow patty) if he gets a few bites of anything his stomach doesn’t agree with. I’ve tried kibble the vet prescribed, changing over to an almost entire wet diet (again a suggestion from vet), grain-free kibble, etc. Nothing worked so I tried to feed him the most nutritious food possible and in the mean time (Blue Buffalo brand food). Nothing got better. Every day my poor baby had the most foul-smelling wet flops of poop. Gross for all involved. ALL that stopped within a WEEK of switching him over to Nutro Senior Cat Food!!! My cat now has “normal,” solid bowel movements that don’t have a putrid smell to them. He is rarely regurgitating his food after eating (and when he does it’s only because he wolfed his food down super fast). I don’t care how expensive Nutro food is, it is worth EVERY penny!!!!!
