There's a brand around here called "Max Cat" that is offered by Nutro. I've seen it in lots of the stores but I haven't heard anyone talk about it as being a good food on here. What are the concerns with the make up of this food?? How is the Natural superior?

Here's an example of their rosted chicken dry:

I love Nutro, and I now feed the wet food to Buddy, I haven't tried the dry food yet, only since he is on a mostly wet food diet. It is a very good premium cat food, and many people here at TCS rave about the Nutro cat foods. Someone with more knowledge regarding the specs will respond to you soon.

The wet Nutro is superior to the dry. I read the labels on both. The canned has more meat in it. Both the dry Nutro Choice and the Max Cat have some fillers in them. But that's common with dry food. I also feed my cat Rosie the wet nutro, the pate cans, chicken and lamb, turkey and giblets, chicken and liver and she likes it. I also like the price. For only about 80 cents a can, that's what it costs at Petco, I can feed a pretty decent canned food.
