Wholesome Essentials Kitten Dry Cat Food, Chicken & Rice, 5 lb

We foster kittens through the Humane Society. Over the years we’ve dealt with a lot of kittens having various GI issues, and if we’ve learned anything it’s to keep corn out of their diets! This is, bar none, the best kitten food we’ve found. The kibbles are perfectly sized and shaped, easily swallowed even by kittens who can’t chew well yet. They gain weight well on this, eat it voraciously, and we’ve seen less diarrhea with this feed than anything else - period. Of course there’s Hill’s a/d for crisis situations, and we’ve doctored Nutro with Fortiflora or Proviable when necessary. But Nutro Kitten is our go-to. Solid stools, thriving kittens - what’s not to love?

The food quality is awesome. A little bit of this goes a long way. It is made with real ingredients making it safe for your kitty. My kitten wasnt intrested in dry food after weaning. I tried box store brand after brand and just decided to go with the expensive stuff. My cats loves Nutro. I will spend the extra dollars for my fur baby for him to enjoy his food. Its like right off the bat he knew.. ok this stuff is good. So yes it's a good value for the money. And as a pet parent I even tried a piece of the kibble myself. It has this rich taste to it setting it aside from the other brands. It wasnt hard for it to break down making it an easy chew for cats with sensitive teeth. The pieces of kibble are small if you have another cat like mine who just swallows the pieces whole because of teeth issues. This is our brand of food.

Always a good price!

Always a quality product.

I have 5 kittens that eat it all the time. Seem to like it.

UPDATE 8/9/18: Kitten decided he liked it and now gobbles it down. I know it's a healthy product because I did a ton of research. The problem is neither my kitten or my older cat will eat it. :(

My kittens are very happy with the taste and I am happy with the value vs healthy aspect. I also like the size of the nuggets for the kittens.

My cat Binx is very picky and has a sensitive stomach. She loves nutro. I have tried many brands and this is the only one that doesn’t make her vomit. It seems to be easier on her stomach & another bonus is her litter box isn’t super smelly anymore. I love that it’s non gmo. Her favorites are the chicken & duck. I buy both and mix them together. She’s been on this brand for nearly a year now and her coat is very shiny and she doesn’t cough up hairballs all the time anymore. That used to be quite an issue with her before we tried this food. I did try nutro’s hairball formula and she didn’t care for the flavor, but she ate it when I mixed it into her chicken/duck mixture. I haven’t fed her the hairball mix in probably 4 months and she’s still not having issues. I do cook her fresh salmon every now and then but I think this food has really helped her. Her jet black fur nearly shimmers in the sun, it’s so shiny and silky. Binx was a stray and her fur was really rough & ratty before. Her fur was about as nice as a dollar store stuffed animal. She was very young and this kitten mix was her favorite then.
