Good Morning:

Does anyone have any opinions on the Nutro brand of wet cat food?
I tried a packet the other day, they liked it well enough. How would you rate
it? For instance, personally, I put Friskies and Puss'n'Boots at the bottom of
the list right below generic cat food.

TIA.
Chelle.

I used to feed my cats Nutro. A couple of years ago Amber suddenly
refused to eat it when I opened a new case. A check with the company
revealed that they had changed the formula. They now base the formula
on the lowest cost ingredients. I switched to Innova for a while but
now use Wellness. Nutro used to be considered a good product but not
any more.

My three have eaten Nutro wet all their lives. Within the past year
I've heard tales of their formula becoming less high-grade, so nowadays
mine eat Nutro about half the time and the rest of the time they have
Wellness or Pinacle or Triumph or one of the other super-premiums.
Well, OK, except for the rare occasion when they have Fancy Feast
Shrimp, Crab, and Sardine in Aspic. ;-)

The ferals I feed Friskies canned and Meow Mix dry.

I have fed my cats Nutro for a few years and lately have noticed an
inconsistency with the canned food. Some cases are noticably "wetter" than
others and I am in the process of switching over to a new canned food. In a
couple of months, I may look into switching the dry also.
