NuloTurkey & Chicken Pate Wet Canned Cat Food, 12.5 Ounce (Pack of 12)

One of my cats was recently diagnosed with idiopathic cystitis.I needed to switch to a wet food diet immediately and found this brand.She has a very sensitive stomach with most foods.She has had no issues with vomiting while changing onto this brand.Both of my cats are a fan of the duck and tuna flavor.I mixed in a dab of tuna bisque treat into each serving of the turkey and chicken can and they seem to love it.

My senior fella LOVES it and it's contents are what we need in his diet.

Great

Cat did not like

…so I’m happy.YT algorithm offered me a chance to watch a video that would help me find my purpose in life. I snorted in derision. I know why I’m here. My role is to keep trying to find a wet food that the cats will eat on any given day. I mix it up. One day I’m lucky. Another day, the same food gets whiskers and noses turned up.I explain to the cats how much an individual can cost, and they could not care less. I scrape it into the trash later and try again another day. So far, they eat it. I’m happy. I have it on my subscription rotation.I may be pushing my luck by posting this. I don’t think they read the reviews.

Why would anyone other than a So-Cal marketing consultant put these kinds of ingredients in a cat food? Is the cat on the Malibu fruit and fiber diet? (Yes, I just made that diet up, but the marketers may steal it and claim it is healthy for cats, which it won't be!) First of all, cranberries contain benzoic acid, which is toxic to cats. Yucca is toxic to cats. Rosemary (which they are using as a preservative) has caused seizures in cats and dogs and is not proven safe at the levels used here. Beyond that, these other weird ingredients that no sane cat would ever naturally decide to eat have a high risk of causing allergies and/or irritation in a species not meant to process them. I realize other manufacturers are doing the same thing these days, but that doesn't make it safer for your pet. It just means it's unregulated.I didn't know all these crazy things were in there when I got this as a last-minute substitution for our of normal food and fed it to my cat one night. She woke up making disturbing snorting sounds like she was trying to blow something out of her nose. She was hacking strangely, trilling, and clearing distressed. The vet suggested it could either be an allergy or a cold virus. After reading the ingredients of the food and becoming very suspicious, I decided not to feed it to her again. She got better the following day.Unfortunately, a few days later (after she was totally recovered) she was accidentally was given a quarter of a can left in the cabinet by someone else. The VERY SAME THING happened again. I'm sure it was the food. Luckily it wasn't bad enough in her case to cause serious damage (although it could have been), but even mild reactions cause inflammation that can be dangerous over time.Please don't feed this to your cats unless the manufacturer reformulates it to be suitable for felines to eat. It isn't worth the risk.

All 8 of my cats won't eat the Nulo Turkey and Chicken flavor in the 12 oz cans. For reference, I usually get the Dave's cat food turkey recipe in the 12 oz cans, and my cats sometimes get tired of that and momentarily snub it, but they always come back and eat it. The Nulo was a good price with a percentage off coupon, so I decided to try it. But alas, my cats will not touch the Nulo Turkey and Chicken flavor, even if they haven't eaten much all day. The Nulo ingredients are great, and it seems like they should like it, but they just won't eat it. - They won't even eat it when I put their favorite flavor enhancing topper on it. At least I can add it to my dog's food, so I am not just throwing it out.FYI, my cats are slightly more receptive to the Nulo Salmon and Mackerel flavor in 12 oz cans, but only if it is a can that has just been opened in (literally) the last couple of minutes.I will not be buying any Nulo again, unfortunately. That's too bad, because it seems like they are really trying to create a decent canned food with good ingredients.

I'd been searching for quite a while for a better quality food than the cheap stuff made from by-products. In the large cans, Nulo costs me about twice as much as I was spending per day on Friskies pates. But the content of the food is much better, and my four 12+ year old cats love it. Especially my female Manx, who knows when I open a can of her favorite Nulo "Duckie" flavor and will sit at my feet and cry like a baby (literally sounds like a baby crying, no joke) to be fed. For the past year, I have been feeding them Nulo wet foods in the 12.5 ounce cans, along with Holistic Select in the same size cans. Both are excellent foods per dollar spent, in my "human" opinion. But my four cats voted three to one in favor of Nulo over Holistic Select. While I think Holistic is an excellent food, at the end of the day it is the cats that have to eat it, not me. So their votes matter more than mine. Thus, I am now feeding them solely two cans per day of Nulo wet cat food, specifically Duck and Tuna and the Turkey and Chicken. Once a week, on "Fish Friday", they get a can of Salmon and Mackeral. All four love these Nulo flavors and the large cans make it more cost effective to feed them better quality food. Whatever they don't finish between feedings goes in the fridge until the next time. All four of my indoor cats are in excellent health, and I hope to keep them that way by feeding them a better quality food such as Nulo. I only wish Nulo would manufacture some of their other flavors in the large cans, it is too expensive for me to feed them the small cans. I highly recommend both Nulo and Holistic Select canned cat food, but my cats would tell you, three to one, to go with the Nulo, especially my Manx!
