Nulo Salmon & Mackerel Recipe Pate Wet Canned Cat Food, 12.5 Ounce (Pack of 12)

I'd been searching for quite a while for a better quality canned cat food than the cheap stuff made from by-products. In the large cans, Nulo costs me about twice as much as I was spending per day on Friskies pates. But the content of the food is MUCH better, and my four 12+ year old cats love it. Especially my female Manx, who knows when I open a can of her favorite Nulo "Duckie" flavor and will sit at my feet and cry like a baby (literally sounds like a baby crying, no joke) to be fed. For the past year, I have been feeding them Nulo wet foods in the 12.5 ounce cans, along with Holistic Select in the same size cans. Both are excellent foods per dollar spent, in my "human" opinion. But my four cats are the boss here and voted three to one in favor of Nulo over Holistic Select. While I think Holistic is an excellent food, at the end of the day it is the cats that have to eat it, not me. So THEIR votes matter more than mine! Thus, I am now feeding them two cans per day of Nulo wet cat food solely, specifically Duck and Tuna and the Turkey and Chicken. But once a week, on "Fish Friday", I substitute a can of Salmon and Mackeral for the Duck and Tuna. All four of my little furry babies love these Nulo flavors and the large cans make it more cost effective to feed them a better quality food. Whatever they don't finish between feedings goes in the fridge until the next feeding. Nulo lasts in the fridge for up to 72 hours, but my kitties gobble it up within 24 hours! All four of my indoor cats are in excellent health, and I hope to keep them that way by feeding them a better quality food such as Nulo. I only wish Nulo would manufacture some of their other flavors in the large cans too, since it is not affordable for me to them the other Nulo flavors in the small cans. Bottom line: As a human cat owner, I highly recommend both Nulo and Holistic Select canned cat food. Based on my analysis and price shopping, they are BOTH some of the best values out there in a high quality canned wet cat food. Much better than the stuff filled with by-products. HOWEVER, my cats would tell you, three to one, that they prefer the taste of Nulo over Holistic Select, especially my cute roly-poly black and white Manx! Hope all of this is helpful to some other cat owners trying to decide on a better affordable food for their cats.

Bought for cat rescue.

So far this is five stars. I have an 18 year old and a 3 year old. My elder kitty was hungry all the time, always crying for food. Good appetite but never satisfied. Since I’ve been feeding them this she is content, she doesn’t cry for food or even treats, and she’s grooming herself more. My 3 year old really likes it too and I think he seems happier. Glad to say they are both healthy. This food is worth the extra cost.

So, the cat food is great but, why is a taking a week to get in a city like Las Vegas. I might understand it taking that long to a remote destination but Las Vegas isn't a remote destination. If I order it without subscribe and save it will be at the address in two days. Today is the 14th and I was billed on the 11th but it won't be there till the 19th? Hmm...not liking this! :(

I have been trying to find wet food that has good ingredients, doesn't break the bank, and is larger than 5.5 ounces. This is my second purchase (different flavor) and the food itself is fresh. I have picky eaters but I often change the flavor of their food to give them some variety. I really like this brand so far and the cats enjoy it too! The duck one is their favorite but they seem to enjoy this one too.

Why would anyone other than a So-Cal marketing consultant put these kinds of ingredients in a cat food? Is the cat on the Malibu fruit and fiber diet? (Yes, I just made that diet up, but the marketers may steal it and claim it is healthy for cats, which it won't be!) First of all, cranberries contain benzoic acid, which is toxic to cats. Yucca is toxic to cats. Rosemary (which they are using as a preservative) has caused seizures in cats and dogs and is not proven safe at the levels used here. Beyond that, these other weird ingredients that no sane cat would ever naturally decide to eat have a high risk of causing allergies and/or irritation in a species not meant to process them. I realize other manufacturers are doing the same thing these days, but that doesn't make it safer for your pet. It just means it's unregulated. I didn't know all these crazy things were in there when I got this as a last-minute substitution for our of normal food and fed it to my cat one night. She woke up making disturbing snorting sounds like she was trying to blow something out of her nose. She was hacking strangely, trilling, and clearing distressed. The vet suggested it could either be an allergy or a cold virus. After reading the ingredients of the food and becoming very suspicious, I decided not to feed it to her again. She got better the following day. Unfortunately, a few days later (after she was totally recovered) she was accidentally was given a quarter of a can left in the cabinet by someone else. The VERY SAME THING happened again. I'm sure it was the food. Luckily it wasn't bad enough in her case to cause serious damage (although it could have been), but even mild reactions cause inflammation that can be dangerous over time. Please don't feed this to your cats unless the manufacturer reformulates it to be suitable for felines to eat. It isn't worth the risk.

The cats love this, it's their favorite brand and 2nd favorite flavor (duck & tuna is the first). They have no issues when it's cold from the fridge and the large can last almost a day for 2 large (10-12 lbs, adult energy) cats. The only issue I don't like about Nulo is all of their three large cans have some sort of fish in them, even the chicken and turkey one. Hopefully they change this soon as I like to keep the mercury, etc level lower in my furkids.

I recently had my 2 youngest cats 6 & 9 die suddenly in me different reasons but I wanted to get them off the cheaper fancy feast & maybe on a bit more expensive better quality food. Both my girls google it right up. They are big cans like soup can size so they last longer I put them in the fridge.covered once opened. I’m really happy with the subscription & I think the girls are eating better now & I hope they have a longer healthier life. It’s so heartbreaking to lose a very much loved cat.
