Question

Is nutrience cat food any good? has any one used this one before? and if not which cat food is good?

Answer 1

Nutrience Wet/Can Food is great with excellent ingredients. No by products or meat meals. No cheap fillers - no corn but uses brown rice instead and that is acceptable.

Stay away from the dry food though. Uses chicken meal and has corn.

Something that might interest you.

When you are choosing food, it is important for you to learn how to read ingredient labels. They tell you a lot about what kind of meat is being used and whether the food has any cheap fillers which does not benefit your cat/kitten.

You want to feed a food which is high protein - meaning the meat source must come from wholesome muscle meat. Make sure to select only food that list chicken, lamb, rabbit, beef, turkey, venison, salmon, whitefish, herring or a combination or those and not one that says by-products (chicken by product, meat by product, fish by product)

Stay away from too much fillers like corn, corn gluten meal, wheat, wheat gluten, soy, oatbrans, etc. These are all cheap filler which help reduce the cost of manufacturing but brings little to no benefit to your kitten.

You would also want to stay away from preservatives like BHA/BHT and Ethoxyquin which are proven to be harmful to your kitten. Also you do not want other artifical preservatives such as propylene glycol and propolyneglycol .You need natural preservatives such as Vitamin C, Vitamin A or Rosemary.

Your cat need an essential amino acid called Taurine. Cats can only receive this from eating wholesome meat. Choose a food that contains ample amount of Omega 3 sources - Salmon Oil, Flaxseed Oil or Canola Oil.

When you are well educated in learning how to read pet food ingredients, shopping for the best food for your cat would be easier.

Answer 2

I am not familiar with Nutrience food.

I use Nutro Complete Indoor cat food. My cat seems to love it.

It is dry food and good for her teeth.

My vet advises against canned can which can cause dental problems.

Answer 3

I'm not overly impressed.  Note their clever use of "maize" instead of corn (not sure there's a big difference?).  It doesn't appear that they have any canned food yet.  Based on their dry I'm not sure how good it'll be.....

I also don't like all the rosemary.  I don't know why rosemary isn't good but one of my fave cat experts is against its use in cat food.  Someday I'll have to find out why.

If I were you, I'd find a different one that isn't so heavy on the grains:

The best of the worst - dry foods: My personal picks are Wellness Core, Innova Evo or Nature's Variety Instincts. I agree with some of the foods listed here but not all. I am happy to review ingredient lists if requested: http://cats.about.com/cs/nutrition/tp/pr...

INGREDIENTS:

Chicken meat (30.0%), ground maize, brewers rice, dehydrated chicken, chicken fat, dried beet pulp, dried egg, hydrolysed chicken liver, yeast extract, flaxseed meal, DL- methionine, L-lysine, marigold extract, herbs (0.15%) (dried rosemary, dried thyme, dried oregano, dried fenugreek, dried fennel), glucosamine sulphate, chondroitin sulphate, mint leaves, parsley, dehydrated green tea, dried kelp, dried cayenne, dried ginger, rosemary extract, yucca schidigera extract.

Answer 4

nutrience cat food is not particurally important. Dental diet is always an excellent cat food because the jaws are one of the most important parts of a cat. Also, despite the idea of cat liking fish, it is not very good for there digestive system, so stick with beef or poultry.

Answer 5

I use Science Diet Light, my cat is prone to bladder stones, and this food will prevent them. Which is nice for me.. so the cat isn't messing on my carpet anymore :)

Answer 6

My cat really likes Life's Abundance. It's a pretty high quality cat food (which is important if you don't want huge vet bills later in your cat's life...). You can see how it compares to other cat foods here:
