I am looking for a natural, high quality (high protein and fat), no by-product cat food. Anyone know if Nutro is good? What else is good?

Answers:

Despite what pet store workers are trained to tell you (and I know from inside info through pet store managers WHY they are trained that way, btw), Nutro is NOT a better food than Science Diet/Iam's, etc. It's better than the el cheapo store-brand foods.I'll concede that..but they break their ingredients down on the label to make it LOOK like they have lower amounts of corn, cereals, fillers, by-products, etc. than the true premium diets.

It's a sly trick used to circumvent FDA labelling requirements.but if you add them all up and put them together as what they really are.Nutro actually has a higher grain/cereal content than better foods. It's like some human foods which list all the separate *types* of sugar (which may not even be easily recognized as such) that they contain individually, just to avoid having 'Sugar' listed as the first ingredient. Science Diet and Iam's aren't playing that game with you.

I can't offer you any official studies.but I can tell you that in my experience (20 years as a DVM in private practice; 27 total years in the profession) cats (and dogs) fed Nutro *generally* (not always) have more medical problems.especially later in life.than pets fed the better foods. Pets fed Science Diet, etc. *generally* have fewer medical problems over the course of their life.which translates into fewer medical bills for you. (Hmmmmm..maybe I shouldn't be telling you this. LOL) <---j/k about that. :-)
