Review: My cats favorite - My cats absolutely loved this food. They didn’t even need a transition period to get used it. I put down two dishes, one with their old food and one with this food, and they gobbled up this one without even touching their old food, then started begging for more. Unfortunately, as they got older, one developed a very sensitive tummy, and while she could still tolerate this food to some degree, I had to switch to a sensitive stomach food.
Review: Nutri balance - I have had my cats eating this food for 6 months now. I haven’t seen them get sick or throw up any food after meals. There coat is softer and they are happier. Size is perfect, last my two cats about 1 month and half. Great quality from the fact my cats haven’t thrown up or gotten sick. Lean food as my cats also seem to become lean and muscular from the nutrition balance.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My cat seems to love it.
*by A***R on April 15, 2023*

Not sure why Amazon is asking me to rate the flavor of this cat food. Sadly I can't decipher what my cat is meowing at me to tell you the intricate details. I also have not eaten this cat food, nor any of my cats other foods to tell you. Otherwise, my cat seems to be smitten with this brand at the moment and the quality of the ingredients are good in my book. My cat is not a picky eater but she will frequently throw up with most cat foods we've tried. Both the duck and salmon varieties result in the least amount of throw up out of any other cat food. She has tried a several dozen brands and varieties over the last eight years. Some cat food varieties result in wet and stinky poop which seems under digested but this one does not. The price isn't the cheapest and also is not the most expensive we've tried but it doesn't have a lot of the filler ingredients that the low end varieties do. Unless she starts to refuse to eat this brand this is what I'll stick with for the time being.
