Nutro Ultra

If Nutro Max is sub-par, and Nutro Natural Choice is decent, then this is very good. I’m actually impressed by this food, and I didn’t figure I would be. As far as I can tell, this is better than anything that Iams, Science Diet, or Eukanuba puts out. In short, if you’re a fan of Nutro foods and don’t want to switch your brand, go for this line of foods.
I could only get the top 10 ingredients, because I couldn’t copy and paste this list from their site. However, we see 3 named meat meals in the top 9 ingredients.
These are protein-packed animal proteins from good sources. We also see that rice is the lone grain used, which is an excellent grain for digestibility and fiber. It’s the top grain recommended. Also, flaxseed and sunflower oil are top notch choices for fatty acids that help both the heart and nervous systems. The only quibble is with the soybean oil, which isn’t of the highest quality. Also, “poultry fat” isn’t as good as if they were to actually name the animal the fat came from. It’s always suspect when they refuse to name it. All in all though, a very good food.
Where to buy?

You need to do the switch grlaudlay. Feed 75% of the old kind with 25% of the new. Then do 50/50, then 25% of the old and 75% of the new. Try to do it slowly. Maybe making the total change over two weeks. Cats don’t need lots of canned, so once you switch the dry you can try mixing in alittle of the wet. On the bag it should tell how much to feed. It also depends on what kind of cat, for what size they will get. Also how much excercise. They say on feeding whatever they will eat in approx 10 minutes. If she’s a kitten, usually you give frre feed, which means food down all the time
Thanks for contributing these reviews. Theyve helped me understand the issues with pet foods so much more than I couldve learned elsewhere.
