Duck & Tuna Recipe Pate Wet Canned Cat Food, 12.5 Ounce (Pack of 12)

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!

Update: This is also the only flavor my cats like: they weren't fans of the mackerel or the turkey, so if you have finicky cats, maybe experiment with the flavors and see what they like. This is my first day trying it with my two cats, so this review may be a bit premature, but I set it down, and they dug right in with gusto. My girl was a stray for awhile, so she's especially selective about what she eats, so I called it a win when she barely hesitated. When you open it, you can tell the ingredients are quality- it doesn't have that artificial look/smell that a lot of cheaper brands do, and it didn't break my bank to buy a month's supply. I also see no sign of it being dry, as some of the other reviews have suggested. At least not yet. I'm gonna call this a mommy win.

Comparable to other good brands. My cats liked it, which is not an easy feat. Size smaller than expected, making this a bit too costly for me to purchase again. That said, if you have finicky cats, it might be worth the price to give them a high quality choice.

I love that I can buy large cans of this. I foster and rescue and own many cats and it’s so nice to be able to feed them all with just one big can rather than several little cans! I also like the ingredients!

Great value when you have two cats!!!

This is expensive food and I ordered 3 cases of the food, different flavors. All 3 cases had severely dented cans. This is unacceptable with how expensive this food is. Also our kittens dont really love this food. We have to dress it with some freeze dried food to get them to eat it.

My cats liked this food, but I have been trying to move away from supporting factory farming with my cat food purchases. So I contacted Nulo, both through the email found on their website and the contact form on their website, asking them if they could tell me anything about the living conditions of the ducks used in this food. They did not respond. Ever. It's hard to trust a company that cares that little about customer inquiries. I would rather they have given me an answer I didn't like than to just ignore the question. It's a perfectly reasonable thing to want to know. Also a little weird for them to name their company a homophone for "New Low"....we can't afford any of those in the pet food industry.

…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.
