Review of Nutro Weight Control Dog Food

We discovered Nutro dog foods a year or so ago. Our dog is very finnicky, and she just didn't care for any of the brands of dogfood that were sold in grocery stores. Then I learned about the animal by-products that are so prevalent in pet foods today, and was in a word, shocked. If you haven't looked into this, you should. According to Nutro, "the chicken meal in MAX does not include chicken heads, feet or intestines which may be found in products that contain chicken by-product meal".

My Thoughts

Nutro Max Weight Control is a great canned dog food for over weight or inactive adult dogs. It is made with good quality ingredients, no chicken by-products, and provides a good nutritional meal. It contains the needed vitamins and minerals to keep my dog healthy.

Our dog loves chicken, and she begs for it whenever we are eating it. I swear she can smell it a mile away. She also loves vegetables, especially fresh carrots! This Weight Control meal consists of Chicken, Rice and Vegetables. Rice is great for a dog with sensitive stomachs - and ours does tend to have problems with hers occasionally. Rice is very easy to digest, and is recommended by vets when our Silky Terrier is having a hard time keeping food down.
