[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have tried many different brands of food, but Nutro products are the only ones that my dog can tolerate. He was not able to keep food down with 15 other products. Nutro Natural Ultra Weight Management is the food we use.

Used to LOVE this product for years, for my dog who needs low-fat & chicken-free which is hard to find w/o prescription & affordably priced. At some point, nutro started adding chicken ingredients. So many dogs are allergic to chicken. If my dog were not allergic to chicken, i would buy that, for so much less money & far greater options. PLEASE remove the chicken from this product so i can buy it again!

i have a 10 yr old american cocker spaniel that has ALWAYS been overweight. When purchasing his food I could never decide which issue was the most important. I would normally purchase Royal Canin hypo allergenic formula and then I switched to the breed specific Royal Canin for cocker spaniels. The pet store that I frequent was closed so I ended up at a competitor. I wanted to get something healthy so I picked up the Nutro Lite. When I purchased it I chuckled to myself that I was going to have a hard time getting Lennox to eat his “diet” food. I could not have been any further from the truth. Normally, Lennox will grudgingly eat once maybe twice a day.Sometimes to make him eat I would pour canned food onto the Royal Canin.Lennox is so determined that He would pick through each individual morsel to make sure that he only ate the ones that were covered in wet food.( <----- thats bananas, right?) Now Lennox's new problem is that he wants to eat ALL of the Nutro ALL of the time. Ive also noticed that his poos are a better consistancy and he has more energy. The dog actually played fetch with me!!! Under normal circumstances unless its in regards to a treat or to go potty I am simply ignored. AMAZING! You all should make food for the hubby and the kiddo and my life would be perfect 🙂

After reading the review on a popular pet blog about the health and safety of dog foods, I really wanted my dad g to love this food. It’s not the most high end dog food out there, but the guaranteed analysis and natural ingredients provide a healthy, complete and balanced diet for (overweight) dogs. My girl will eat just about anything and has never been a picky eater. If she turns her nose up at food, it means there’s something she can smell that I can’t that tells her the food went bad or there’s something in it that will not sit well in her stomach. I trust her to know what is ok for her to eat and what’s not. Unfortunately, NUTRO NATURAL CHOICE Adult Healthy Weight Dry Dog Food, Lamb & Brown Rice Recipe was the first dry dog food I bought her that she just would not eat. No matter what I mix into eat, she would go 2 days without eating rather than take one bite. I’m not sure if maybe I got a bad batch, but she hasn’t had that reaction to any other dry dog food before… Or since.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My dogs really like this dry food. We didn’t have any problems switching to this brand and flavor for them to try. It’s made with quality ingredients like real lamb. It’s GMO free and contains antioxidants. The blend of protein and fiber is great for digestive health. From the way they scarf it up, the flavor must be real tasty. I feel content feeding this to them and will continue to.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had tried other natural and upscale dog foods for my Brittany and Basset Hound, but couldn’t seem to find the best one they both enjoyed. Most of the foods had too much fat which upset my Brittany and chubbed up my Basset. I decided to try this food and it has been the only food I buy for them for the last 2 years! I add carrots and warm water and they lap it right up!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My dog is picky about the flavors of the dog foods he will eat. Most anything that has to do with weight is salmon and he’s just not a fan. He loved this flavor. He was in a car accident in ‘17 and had plates and screws put in both sides of pelvis. Ever since the accident he’s been a hefty boy. He runs, jumps, plays, but he still has some extra fluff. The vet tells me every time we see him that he needs to lose weight so this will help.

My puppy which is now 9 months, has struggled with food sensitivities for the last few months. The vet put her on hills i/d low fat temorarily which is a good thing because she was not a fan of that food after about a week, and was spitting up as I call it. We’ve been on Nutro Lite for 2 weeks so far and she devours it, it says 4.5 cups for her but she is a big girl ( tall and slender) so she usually get 5-6. She really can not get enough of this food. My complaint which isn’t much of one is the fact that the bag says less mess in the yard, which is wrong she actually goes more now for how much she eats compared to other brands, but her colon/large intestine which were her real problem seem to take the food quite well, and her stomach so overall we are very satisfied 🙂

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product is great for our dog Troy. He just turned 6 years old and has been eating this for years. It agrees with him (sometimes he use to throw up after eating). He is a lab mix rescue dog. He recieves many treats throughout the day that is way we by the weight control. He does get a least two walks a day but the kids love to feed him treats. This is keeping him look and feel good.

After switching to the Lite version of Natural Choice and getting him on a moderate exercise regimen, in the last twelve months, he has lost 16 pounds in a year (almost 25% of his previous weight), and that’s even with throwing him the occasional treat..

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a five-year-old Chihuahua terrier mix and he absolutely loves this food! I just know that as he gets older weight and nutrition are big factors. What I love most about this food is that it is all clean and natural with none of those filler ingredients. Not only does my dog love this, but it is just so much easier on his stomach to digest. The food itself is perfect in size and has a nice crunch to it. Overall, the quality is great and I finally found a food that my dog loves.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We are the proud owners of two wonderful pound puppies. Our older dog Sadie spends a lot of time with my disabled husband and doesn’t get enough exercise to offset her “chowhound” ways. We started feeding her Nutro Lite Adult food several years ago and it has helped to keep her weight close to what it should be although she has lost her “girlish” figure over the years. Haven’t many of us done the same? Our younger dog Cu Rua (hound with the red hair) is our pickyest eater but he loves Nutro Ultra Holistic Superfood. It is the one brand we can count on him to eat. Our kittens eat Natural Choice Indoor Healthy Growth. I guess we are a Nutro family.

we got her. She is a little overweight and now that she’s on this lite food she has
lost some weight. She knows when I bring the bag in the house and she can’t wait to get fed. I think it’s a real healthy dog food.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My dog really seems to like Nutro – NUTRO NATURAL CHOICE Adult Healthy Weight Dry Dog Food. I have no problems getting him to eat it and he gobbles it up as fast as I can get it in his bowl. He isn’t very picky but he does tend to have a finicky stomach and so far this seems to settle in his belly just fine.

My vet advised me that my Border Collie needed to lose weight to help with her arthritis and joint problems last fall. It has been almost ten months now since I started using the Lite food from Nutro and my dog has lost fifteen pounds! She is at her goal that the vet wanted her to be. I love this food for my dog and it also seems like she has less digestion problems and gas with it also. And most of all- she LOVES it! Thank you Nutro for helping me achieve my dog’s weight goal and optimal health!

We used to purchase this recipe for a slightly overweight Golden but when we were informed that the recipe has changed and chicken has been added to the mix, we were advised not to purchase this brand. What’s up with supplementing inexpensive chicken meal and by products when it’s advertised as lamb and rice? After 19 years of purchasing your brand we had to stop, based on this addition of chicken.

My overweight Golden Retriever loves this and has helped keep her weight down for years. Recently, my 1 year old Boxer started turning her nose up at her food. We went through many brands/flavors, and one day tried mixing her food with the Retriever’s food. Bingo! She loved it, and now eats only the weight loss dog food. She is by no means underweight, and a highly active dog. Along with ALL the treats they get, this has proven to be a good fit for the family.

Nutro lite lamb and brown rice is great. I have two toy poodles, one a little chubby and the other a model at just under 6 pounds. Both girls love the food and prefer it over other dry food. They have great hair and skin with bright eyes. The vet is very pleased with them. My husband keeps wanting to change their food because it is a little more expensive . I won’t let him and figure we spend about fifty cents a day on their food. Thanks for a great product.

I had tried several weight reduction foods for my slightly overweight 8 yr old boxer. She’s not super active and loves to eat.. started her on Lite little over a month ago and can already see a difference. She loves the food and doesn’t seem to be hungry. She really enjoys it when we mix some of the canned lite food with the dry for a special dinner.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our yellow lab Bailey was close to 100 lbs when we adopted her. She was so big that when she laid down on her side, her legs wouldn’t even touch the ground. She truly looked uncomfortable with all her fur looking like it was stretched to accommodate her large figure. But we put her on this Lite dog food and started getting her out on more walks than she was use to and WOW what a difference. In less than a year she lost and has kept off 20 unnecessary lbs.

i have fed this to my dog for many years. I t has helped to control his weight and he loves it. I mix it with some wet food and feed him twice per day. The ingredients are natural and healthier than other brands. I wouldn’t buy anything else. My pooch is 11 years old and has been on this or other Natural Choice products his whole life. I also had another dog that passed on about two years ago at 14. She lived a long and good life and ate exclusively Natural Choice her whole life.

I was hoping this would be a more economical and off the shelf choice for the prescription weight control food I had my pup on before. Unfortunately this caused her to get bloated, her breath to smell, stomach gurgles, even her tear stains got worse. She didn’t seem to like it as much either. Returned and put her back on her previous food.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Dinner time was always a stressful time for us … we’d put dry food in Spot’s bowl and he’d turn his nose up at it. He opted for canned food. I was in a pet store one day and met a customer service person who was giving out samples of Nutro. She asked what we were feeding Spot and explained the benefits of Nutro over what we were then giving him. I bought a small bag of Nutro Natural Choice, and that night Spot ate every morsel out of his bowl. He’s been eating Nutro daily ever since then, his checkups have been excellent, and our stress levels went way down.

I picked up this formula to try on my Cockers. They gain weight easily and couple are having butt gland problems. Well the ones that need weight loss are losing weight and the gland problems have stopped. Coats are great, stools and energy are perfect. The first couple of weeks stools were heavier and more frequent but then stopped. Stools back to normal. Would recommend this food. My Cockers are doing great.

Used to get this for my dogs that have issues with processing chicken and it worked well helping them lose weight but they changed the recipe and the normal store I bought from did not post the warning and I didn’t find out until my dogs started having digestive issues and I went to vet and someone there told me about the addition of Chicken meal. Most people buy Lamb and rice food because their animals have food issues why would you add garbage.

Our eight-year old, 58 pound, yellow lab, Emmie, does not just love her daily Nutro Lite meals; she jumps for joy as I deliver each bowl of Nutro. When I have to go out to the garage to refill the kitchen canister with her food, the histrionics begin. She starts salivating like Pavlov’s dog and jumps up and down in joyful anticipation. She gets a cup and a half in the morning and evening and maintains a healthy weight between 54 and 58 pounds. Her coat is nearly pure white and stays soft and shiny–she’s a beautiful and happy dog.

I was looking in petsupplycanada for a ‘good’ dog food for my tall (through back) Jack Russell, Ranger. A Represenative from Natural Choice was in the store and we got to talking. She told me that Natural Choice had ‘all’ natural ingredients in it. I definately did not want anything with gluten in it. I read the label and decided to try it. She told me that if Ranger didn’t like or eat it to bring it back, I would be refunded. Really? Yep! That was a couple years ago. Then this past winter I decided to try him on another brand that was also ‘all natural’, and it is. Only he picked up weight, too much. So I switched him back to the Lite Natural Choice, 30 lb. bag, and bought a small bag of the other, mixed it up real good. He has lost his weight, loves his dog food and looking great. So I will keep him on Natural Choice Lite from now on. I don’t even feed my horses Commercial horse feed because of the ‘junk’ they put into it. I am a very particular person when it comes to the welfare of my animal family. I also liked it because it has beet pulp in it and that is good for him.

My 8 year old Jack Russell mix dog, Sophie, has been enjoying Nutro dog food from the time she was an 8 week old puppy. I started her on the puppy food, and gradually she was introduced to Lamb & Rice formula. For the past 2 years she has been enjoying Nutro Lite Lamb & Brown Rice dry. I mix it with boiled green beans and boiled white meat chicken twice a day. She has maintained her weight at 20 pounds during this time. She truly enjoys her twice a day meals and I must add, as a proud mommy, her coat absolutely glistens. I’ve been a regular user of Nutro products for over 14 years and I have always been happy with the results as they have helped to keep my precious babies healthy. My only concern is the fact that there are never available coupons for any of your products.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We had 2 rescue dogs, both needed to lose a little weight. The older one (Bridgette) lost weight faster that the younger one (Cody). We put them on Nutro Light and they loved it. Sadly, Bridgette got ill and was unable to recover. Cody is getting up in years, but occasionaly she can get frisky. Her tummy has a timeclock, so she never lets me forget to feed her. Am thinking of trying the Nutro Senior for her, since she does have the habit of sleeping most of the time (unless she sees a squirrel in the backyard, then she is a pup again). She has been a savior for my husband when he was ill, she never left his side and knows even now when he is having a bad day.

Hoping it helps him shed a few of those pandemic pounds he has put on. Love that it is Non GMO and has no animal by products. My dogs coat does seem to be shinier and healthier looking.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My friends are a Yorkie, Pomeranian and Min Pin. All are adult, and I don’t get to walk them as I should. They all seem to enjoy the food equally, and Vet visits have been without incident for years. For a special treat, their breakfasts will contain an egg divided amongst them and mixed in with the light, and I rarely have any left behind.

My finicky 13 year old pug loves this food. He usually grows bored after eating the same thing all the time except with this one. My only issue is that the 30 pound bag is way too big for him, since it lasts for months, which brings the question freshness and nutritional value loss over time. I would love it if there were smaller bag size options.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have 2 peer bread beagles, Bailey and Max, we all know how beagles are prone to weight problems, but with ours they are in perfect weight! We’ve had them on this type of dog food since they became adult dogs, and its been working great for the past 3yrs! They always come back from the vet with excellent comments on how they look! Now if only Nutro could only help them from chasing squirrels we would be all set!! just kidding…AWESOME PRODUCT!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This food makes my dogs visibly happy. I have been feeding them NUTRO NATURAL CHOICE Adult Healthy Weight Dry Dog Food for almost a month now, and I see that they are more energetic than the month prior. They are clearly happy once I pour them a fresh bowl of Nutro in the evening. The ingredient list is appealing to me since I always look at it before a purchase is made. I wouldn’t want to feed them something that I wouldn’t ingest.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a an 8 yr. old golden mix that needed a dog food with low protein. I was pleased to find that not only has the Nutro Lite formula kept his protein levels in good check, but his weight as well.
In addition, I can’t say enough in how great his coat looks and feels and with this hairy guy. LOW shedding and no hot spots!
I recommend this and all Nutro products to my friends!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We’ve been using Natural Choice products for our Chocolate Lab Brandy since we brought her home from a breeder at 8 weeks old. The Natural Choice brand was selected after visiting a big box pet supply store and spoke to a product representative who happen to be promoting the Nutro product that day. We were so impressed with the knowledge the rep shared with us in comparing differences between dog foods that we decided to give Nutro a try. We can not be happier with our selection and will always use Natural Choice for our dog. Brandy is now 9 years old and looks marvelous, we get continous praise on how shiny and soft her coat is. People can’t beleive she is 9 especially after seeing her play with younger dogs. We started her on the Lite Adult Dog Food 4 years ago and it’s been amazing. Thank you Natural Choice for providing a top quality product for pet lovers!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Hi I love this food for my dog! Believe it or not my dog is very high energy – but hates walking on the leash! Let me note he was born completely blind and was also attacked 2ce once while on leash. He runs laps in the house but it just isn’t enough for him – so I switched from the High Energy to the Lite and its amazing it keeps him at a perfect weight of 77 (he’s a white german shepherd) so I want to tell you that with everything he has been through with the tainted dog food, dog attacks and his $14,000 in medical care – he is quite healthy!!! I attibute it to a healthy diet! Thank you! Karen & Friday!

I have two dogs, both with weight issues. My 6 year old puggle also has a sensitive stomach and I had a hard time finding a food that didn’t give him some sort of stomach trouble. This was the first food that gave him no problems (and I tried many!). He’s been on this for three years now, lost the extra fat and has maintained a healthy weight no problem. My 16 month basset hound was 69 lbs back in April when I started her on this food, and now five months later she’s down to a healthy 52 lbs. They both love the food and would eat the whole giant bag if I let them. My parents have recently started their very overweight puggle on this food. Two months in you can see a difference, and they’ve tried many other “diet” foods with no results. Plus the dogs’ coats are softer and shinier than with other foods I’ve tried. I’d definitely recommend this food!

This food is wonderful because of the low protein. She does not need all that high protein. My vet explaines it like giving a child too much sugar.She has done wonderfully on this food. 12 yeasr strong.Would never change.

So far both my dogs have tolerated the gradual change. Both my dogs are long coated so I can’t see any changes yet as of yet. As long as they don’t get sick I’m fine with it so I will continue to feed it to them.

So when I went looking for a lite dog food I found Natural Choice. The ingredients were wholesome with no by-products & I was sold. My dogs have the shiniest coats and are in excellent health. My Husky Mix is 14&1/2 years old, my Min Pin is 11, my Poodle is 12 and my 4 lb, finicky eating Yorkie is also 12. She loves her Natural Choice with it’s small bites. They all lost the additional weight and have maintained it for years. i would definitely recommend Natural Choice Lite and I do.

He is a bit overweight, we tried a pricier brand new to the stores here, and he developed an ear infection coincidentally at the same time. It cleared up when we swirched off that brand! (Doesn’t seem to have any effects on our female dog.) He likes it, but he’s not picky!

We’ve been on a dog food search almost since the day we got Lola. But even with her picky eating habits, she was still somehow overweight. We tried several different brands, but nothing worked. So after a talk with a local Nutro rep, we decided to give Nutro Natural Choice Lite a try. I was skeptical at first, but she loved it, and I mean LOVED it. I didn’t think she would loose any weight with Nutro; I mean how could she if she liked it that much? Well we just had our 6 month check up at the vet, and Lola actually lost 6 lbs! Our vet was extremely pleased with her results, as were we! She is finally at a healthier weight, and she still loves her food!

I don’t necessarily think this is a bad food, but it’s not been good for my dog. Refusal to eat (unheard for her) , sick, soft stool.

This is the second bag of this food that we’ve purchased. We switched our 18 month old Aussie over this this food from a grain free recipe as our vet told us he needed to lose 5 pounds. We first tried him on a competitor’s weight management recipe but his weight loss was minimal. Since being on Nutro, he has lost 4 pounds. His coat is as shiny as ever and his energy level has increased possibly due to carrying less weight but he also must be getting adequate nutrition. It costs less than both his previous foods. I just wish it came in bags smaller than 30 pounds and I also wish they sold the chicken and rice healthy weight in Canada which is why I gave it a rating of 4/5 instead of 5/5.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We began feeding the Lite dog food to our Luci girl about 1 year ago. It is kind of a long story, but as they say some things work out for the best! She loves it. I use to be able to put her food in her dish in the morning and she would nibble on it throughout the day. Now if I do that she gobbles it up straight away! I have to give her some in the morning and then I give her more @ dinner time. Although she is still a bit on the husky side I can tell she has slimmed down a bit. She is way more energetic!

Our vet recommended putting Guppy on a lamb diet when she starting having skin and ear problems. She thought it might be from allergies. The clerk at the store suggested the Nutro and this was the perfect solution. I mix 1/2 container or wet and a handful of the dry. She acts like she hasn’t eaten for days. So glad to have found Nutro for her. No more scratching AND I think she has even lost a little weight. Thank you!

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I have three dogs and they all have capacity to gain weight since they are all indoor dogs and we live in a rural area where dog walking isn’t as feasible. So, this dog food met all their needs. Also, one dog is allergic to many poultries such as chicken and duck, which makes it hard to find a low calorie food with no chicken. He showed no signs of allergies and was able to digest this food well. It seems to have very good ingredients and keeps them full. One dog also has stopped scratching as much which leads me to believe he may have also had an allergy. I have since switched them all to this dog food. My dogs are a 75lbs lab/shepherd mix and two dachshunds. It is rare that they can all enjoy one brand of dog food to meet all their multiple needs.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After Pearl started to gain weight we looked for a product that would help. After trying a couple of other foods only to find that Pearl would turn her nose up and not eat we found Nutro Lite at our local pet shop. The fact that Nutro has natural ingredients is very important to us because Pearl is a part of the family and we only want the best for her. We found that Nutro was something Pearl liked, so, it did make us wonder what those other foods actually had in them. Pearl is a pug and she does love to eat, so to snub a food does make one wonder. Needless to say, we haven’t bought anything but Nutro since. Not only does Pearl love her food, but her coat looks great and we are constantly being asked what we do to make it look that way. This food definitely deserves a “5 Paw” rating.

With them now being elderly and not able to exercise like they used to, I have switched them over to the Lite formula. Being able to keep them on Nutro throughout their lifecycle, I never had to worry about stomach upset with switching foods. I can focus on their quality of life and feed them without the worry of them gaining too much weight. For treats, I supplement with the Lite Biscuits.

My dog Reese Cup is a beagle and very overweight and has joint problems even before being over weight. I put her on Nutro Weight Management for under-active dogs and the weight loss has been remarkable! She is running around and getting up with no problem where before it was difficult for her . It is worth the price.

My dog needed to lose some weight due to hip problems. He is a picky eater so I was concerned that he wouldn’t take to another food easily, especially one designed for weight loss. But he loves it and lost the needed weight. He looks awesome and is so much more active than he has been in a long time. I still have him on this for weight management. I “supplement” the dry food with a very small amount of the Lite canned food and he loves that too!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My pup absolutely loves this food! As soon as I put it in the bowl she eats it all immediately even though it’s super healthy. The ingredients are top notch which is why I wanted to try it in the first place and I’m so pleased!

i have 2 rottweilers and got it for the 10 year old.But, the 3 year old loves it just as much . It also helps with clean up in the yard if used properly and not mixed with table scraps . all natural provides low odor and easy clean up . i highly recommend to all large breeds !

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Kolohe is a beagle and does she ever have the perfect name! Kolohe in Hawaiian means “mischievious” or a rascal. If I let “Kloe” eat as much as she wanted to, she would literally eat until she exploded! Once, she got into my cupboard and ate three whole packages of top ramen, those dry horrible wheat filled noodles. She’s even climbed onto our bar height table and devoured our entire dinner of fish tacos. Yikes! I know how bad that is for our Kolohe. It takes days for her to recover from these binges. I don’t know what her problem is. I think her body lacks that trigger that tells her she’s full. She eats anything and everything! So, when I give her the Lite Nutro, I feel good that she’s getting all the nutrition, but none of the excess fatty stuff or bad things that she’s allergic to that would make her heavy, sluggish or even sick. I want Kolohe to live a long healthy life and I know that when she stays trim and fit, and eats the right diet, she will do just that!

We love this food because of it’s high fiber content and the 14 year old mut loves it.
we also have a half dane and lab that weighs 130lbs. and he needs the fiber.
he is 4 years old and still growing.we get the 35lb. bags all the time.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I rescued Gracie, my 5 year old Great Pyrenees 3 year ago and she was extremely underweight. It took us abotu 1.5 years to get her from 75lbs to 90lbs. After she hit 90lbs she continued to gain about 5lbs every six months (each vet visit) The vet warned me that if she didn’t stop gaining, it could become an issue. We don’t over feed her, or give her too many scraps and could not figure out why she was gaining weight! I cut her food down by 1 cup and still she gained weight. After a year of no success, I finally switched her to the underactive formula/biscuits and for the past year she has not gained any weight! She has capped out at 100lbs exactly. This is a perfect weight for herOverall, I am very happy because I can feed her 3 cups/day and have her feel full and not gain weight! She also is sensitive to wheat so it’s great that it doesn’t contain it!

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) My dog is very picky but he had no problem eating this kibble. Even without added water. Doesn’t overly smell like some foods. We bought it again.

I don’t necessarily think this is a bad food, but it’s not been good for my dog. Refusal to eat (unheard for her) , sick, soft stool. We did the switch over 12 days but she just doesn’t seem to like or tolerate it well. Like I said, could be just our girl, she’s not usually picky, doesn’t mean the food isn’t of decent quality. Recommends this product ✘ No

I have used this flavor for more than 9 months and my pets are happy. I changed to senior lamb and brown rice however I needed to place them back on the weight management food to get their weight back under control. I feed them half of their food in the morning and half in the afternoon

My finicky 13 year old pug loves this food. He usually grows bored after eating the same thing all the time except with this one. My only issue is that the 30 pound bag is way too big for him, since it lasts for months, which brings the question freshness and nutritional value loss over time. I would love it if there were smaller bag size options. Recommends this product ✔ Yes Originally posted on nutro.com

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) My dog is a very fussy guy. He is older and he likes what he likes. So when I got this to try I was very optimistic so on his first feed he smelt it and looked at me like really mom but when I came back in it was all gone! I have tried all kinds of foods for him and he never eats it all. I mix some wet food with it and he licks his bowl clean. I am now going to switch to this fully. Thank you sample source for sending this to me I now have a very happy boy!!

I purchased this for my old boxer, Margaret Thatcher. She’ll be 13 in September and is in great health (thank God 🙂 Her weight has also grown with her age. She was never more than 42-44 lbs, very petite, always has been. But last time we went to get a check up she was 54 lbs!! Not ok. So having fed Nutro her whole life I switched to the Lite. She can eat more, which makes her happy, and it’s helped her lose 4 lbs so far, we’re still going till we get to 45.

Kodie started out at 4 months with Nutro lamb and rice. He was later in with the adult kind till about 5 years ago and got to heavy due to low thyroid. I put him on the low weight and he dropped the weight over 4 months. He can only eat the lamb as poultry gives him hot spots and itches extensively. My only complaint is when the changed the new packaging is they only put it in a 35 pound bag. He eats a cup and half of food a day so a bag last for several months. It gets stale. Also the bag somedays is hard to handle to pour in container as I am an older person. You can buy the other flavors in smaller bags so put this in a 15 pound bag.

Been buying this, and alternating with the Chicken variety for my almost six-year-old Golden for the past couple of years. Also add 1/2-cup of shredded carrots twice/day. She’s lost just over ten pounds and is a svelte 59 pounds of energy!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My two golden retrievers are both 6 years old. We adopted one from a rescue when she was 2 months old and started her on Nutro Natural Choice Lamb and Rice puppy formula. When she was a year old, we graduated to the Nutro Natural Choice Lamb and Rice Adult formula. 1 1/2 years later, we adopted our second golden retriever, who was the same age as the first. We had both dogs eating the same formula. . However, on a routine check up, the vet informed us they were both overweight and at risk of developing hip dysplasia in later life. (of course, we can’t blame that on the food, but the ice cream treats we sometimes give them!) We immediately switched them to Nutro Lite formula and at our next check up, both of them had dropped 10 pounds! That was 2 years ago and they have maintained a healthy weight ever since. The vet was very happy and the dogs have never suffered any type of GI upset or problems when switching from one Nutro product to another. I am sold on Nutro and have been for the past 6 years! I believe my girls will live a long and healthy life eating Nutro products!

Like this dog food, but we are unable to locate it in our area. Have bee looking for about a month and none of the stores have the Adult Lite in the stores. We are told the company sends the food, so I guess they are not doing a very good job. Having to feed our dogs something other than the Lite and not very happy.
