Nutro Max (Beef Meal & Rice)

This food from Nutro seems so very basic to me. They’ve incorporated a sole meat source, with a few grain ingredients behind it, and that seems to be it. No healthy oils for Omega fatty acids or lineolic acid, no alternative meat sources, no fruits or vegetables. It’s actually one of the simplest foods I’ve seen, save for the loads of ingredients most of us can’t even pronounce.
Nutro has two main lines: Natural Choice and Max. In the case of both cats and dogs, Max is the weaker of the two. Due to the high use of corn gluten, wheat and lack of other nutrients/ingredients that should be basic in a supposed “premium” food, I would recommend against Nutro Max.
Where to buy?
What’s good about this food….
Beef meal is first, rice is top grain.
….and what’s not so good.
Corn gluten meal is 3rd, multiple wheat ingredients, no Omega sources, no fruits/veggies.
