Does anyone feed Nutro Natural Choice? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Brookef18 · 08-28-2006, 05:09 PM

I just switched to nutro and I mix dry and wet because my 4 month old Chewy won't eat only dry. I give him the canned and dry and sometimes I give the packs and dry mixed... he likes it all and I am thrilled because he was on Eukanuba and HATED it.... wouldn't eat it and I was so worried about him I was crying trying to get him to eat something! I wound up switching with out mixing the old food with the new because it's the only way to get him to eat! It worked out ok and he managed fine

Hmm..?? I wouldn't mind feeding it to him if he liked it and I knew it were healthy.

The only reason I give them the wet pouches which is only 3 times a week is because Timmy is more of a picky eater. He likes the Nutro Ultra dry but doesn't eat as much as Mimi does. Since I give him some I can't let her sit there and watch him eat....she'll go NUTS!!! So if it were up to me...I'd just feed them the dry.

Thats good, Stump is a picky eater. When we first got him I had to spoon feed him rice and baby food (his vet told me to until he wold eat his dry). But now he eats his dry, but I'm not sure if it is enough or not. He is spoiled and gets a lot of chicken so I think he is okay. Lol.

LOL the things we do for our babies!!!!! How do you cook the chicken you give your baby? Do you boil it or grill it? Is it dark or white meat? I wanted to try to make some chicken for them but was unsure of what to get and how to cook it.

We buy the whole chickens, like the small butterball or tyson one's that you can get at your local grocery store. They we just boil them, and give him chunks without the bone.

Dezi is on Nutro Natural Choice also and she loves it. I do feed her two tablespoons of wet food and mix it with the dry. She won't eat the dry alone.

I'm the opposite...I've noticed that they don't poop as much and it doesn't smell as bad as before. I use to feed mine Eukanuba (from the breeder).

I did the same thing... The breeder gave me some Bil Jac/Eukanuba mix but I started running out of Bil Jac and it's not easy to find it in NY. J.J wasn't crazy about Eukauba only. I got Nutro Puppy and at first had to mix it with baby chicken food and he still wasn't enthusiastic

. But after sticking with it for a few days, now I only add some boiling water to soften it up a bit and he gobbles it up like crazy

. His coat looks way better than when I got him, and poops less too (definitely good news).

I just switched Kiki to Nutro Choice Chicken, Oatmeal, and Rice adult and he loves it. He was previously on Pro Plan for puppies. I had read so many good things about Nutro Choice, I decided to give it a try. After 2 days of him eating it, I noticed right away that his breath did not smell anymore. I have also read that it helps with their coat. I am hoping to see the results of that too.

So far I really like the food brand.

I just bought Gracie some Nutro Ultra dry puppy food today and she loves it! She also likes the Ultra wet food. I'm switching her to Ultra from the Royal Canin because I do think she has a corn allergy. I also started her on Missing Link today. She ate that too without a problem.

That is what I use, plus I add Natural Balance potato and duck kibble. They love them both.

I had my maltese on Nutro for about six months but there were some issues with contents that made her eyes tear and stain her fur.....been so long ago I can't remember which ingredient it was (some have tomato,cranberry, and there are other "natural products, etc). So I went to Natural Balance and combine three of their products on a daily bases. Her eyes cleared up and I have had no problems with the staining since. So when we adopted our Yorkie, I started him on the same products and did not have any problems. I give them Venison & Brown Rice(allergy formula), Potato and Duck (allergy formula) and Complete & Balanced All Breed Formula. I also have a friend that has three chiuauahs that are on the Nutro and they do perfectly fine on it. So if your dog loves it, I would keep him on Nutro......it's a good product.
