What's the lowdown on Nutro cat food?

[Flaxbee]

I live in a verrry small town, with a pet store that thinks Science Diet is exotic cat fare. I don't like SD, and will buy some Artemis or Wellness next time I get to a store with more options, but I got a few Nutro samples from the pet store and the cats seemed to like it, even my ultra finicky boy.

I know there's a very long discussion in the Pets group, but I didn't see much on Nutro (or I didn't read very carefully) ;-)

Any opinions?

1. I like nutro

I don't have cats, but used to work in a pet foos store.

California Natural is good too.

2. we're huge fans of wellness, so maybe stick with that?

All our critters love it.

3. Nutro is good, so is Inova and California Naturals

4. Well...

Since you'll buy Artemis or Wellness when you can/must...who cares? Nutro is good, but not the best. I also think that Nutro's head monkey is a Bushbot. I may be wrong...nay...I HOPE I'm wrong.

Nutro------good food, in that it's better than IAMS/Euk/Purina/etc...

5. another Nutro drawback; it's a RED company

all their donations go to the GOP. Plus, they don't use human grade ingredients like Wellness and Artemis-so your kitties are eating what's unfit to feed to you, which isn't a very comforting thought.

National pet Pharmacy has some good deals on various holistic foods, including Artemis, Wellness, Organix, Newman's own, Halo, Prairie and many others. I think their address is www.nationalpetpharmacy.com
