The packing to this product was very innovative and sleek looking. Upon opening the bag a fresh aroma was present. The product was obviously made with prime, select ingredients. I am fostering 3 cats and have 2 of my own. ALL cats enjoyed and devoured every last morsel and their coats now appear shiny and are soft as velvet. Thank you for this opportunity to try before I buy. It is a pleasure and an honour to have my opinions and experiences heard.
My chubby cat needs to lose some weight and I wanted to try Nutrience subzero to see if it will help. We have received the yellow bag fraser valley cat food from chickadvisor review club for free.
I like that it's grain free, made with meat proteins and made in Canada. I trust the food is made with quality food source. My cat loves it very much, I can even use the freeze dried kibbles as a training treat. My cat is more active now because we try to use the food as a training encouragement. I found her stools are healthier in terms of size and smell, which resemble closer to other feline family in the wild.
I plan to switch to this brand in the future and I would recommend it to my friends because I want the best for my animals.
This cat food seems to have a positive effect on my little kitty. Since I switched her over, she seems to be a bit more playful and has more energy. She also does not seem to have as much trouble digesting the food (her last few brands, she has had a bit of trouble). Her coat stayed relatively the same.
She appears to enjoy the food, especially the dehydrated bits. However, there is one type of kibble in the brand that she does not like. I think I will stick with Nutrience Pet Food - Maybe just try a different flavour and see if that suits her taste buds more.
Let's just state a fact. I am a crazy cat lady.
I don't have one or two cats, I have NINE furry feline companions that share my home with me so when I was offered to test Nutrience Subzero, I jumped at the chance. I foster kittens for a local rescue group, so starting a kitten off with good nutrition is of the utmost importance to me. I know that a raw diet is the healthiest and most natural for cats but unfortunately it's just not a possibility for me. It's too expensive and I don't drive so having to drive to meat markets to buy the most freshest meat possible just can't be done - especially when I'm trying to feed nine hungry kitties.
Nutrience has the raw meat that my cats crave but in a dehydrated form plus gluten free kibble that is made from Canadian ingredients! The food gives my cats all the required nutrients their bodies need plus none of the junk that they don't need that can be found in most store bought cat food. Plus, it's easy and convenient to feed to them.
My cats loved the dehydrated raw food so much that I found them picking through their food bowls and eating those pieces first before eating the kibble! Although I was given the Red Prairie flavour to test, I have also purchased the Fraser Valley flavour for them as well! They loved them both!
Once I signed up for this promo offer (before I was selected to review it), like any good pet mom, I did some research. I went to my pet shop and asked a lot of questions about the company and about the quality of food, good for kittens etc. I was excited to learn that this is a Canadian Company and that they are intent on creating the best pet food money can buy and because it is grain free and good quality I wouldn't have to worry about age appropriate food or even the change to them would not be a shock...yay!!
Since this bag is pretty pricey I was excited that I was chosen to try it out. As soon as I got it I poured a bowl for Picasso and Synamon for their evening meal. Synamon went at it like a hoover (which is how she eats) and the change didn't seem to bother her. Picasso was a little more leery, sniffing it and licking the freeze dried pieces trying the kibble...it was their first exposure to freeze dried. He ended up finishing her left overs.
They are just about 4 months old now and they seem fine with it...they seem to eat less of this food at one sitting...I was finding when I left them a bowl before work and when I come home there's still some left. Whereas with the other food they would finish it. Now I guess I can't be certain if that's because they don't like it and only eat it because there's nothing else to replace it or because it fills them up...and I notice when I'm home all day they eat their meal and then graze during the day and probably do the same at night. Basically, I'm not running through the bag so quick, they poo less and it doesn't smell so bad (lol) like it did with other food I've tried. So I think their little bodies are using up the nutrients rather than excreting them and if i just add a little water to the kibbles it's like wet food....so in my mind that's money well spent. Although I have noticed that this company has a few different lines, one a little cheaper, that I may try out. Good work!
Unfortunately my cat was not enthusiastic about trying this particular brand and she made she I knew it by pawing at me and whining when she walked over to the food bowl.
I was given an opportunity to have her try this for free from @ChickAdvisor and sadly my cat was not willing to big deal and explore her horizons.
However, my chihuahua seemed to have no worry as to stealing kibble out of the dish when the cat wasn't looking.
I will try the dogfood version of this brand but will not be buying the cat food version in the future.
The food has a simple and natural ingredient list which I am a big fan of! Product was fresh and made locally. It seemed to fill them up well as they were not eating as much but unfortunately my 3 cats did not seem to enjoy it as much as the other food I was giving them - they would pick out the food I was mixing it with before finishing the Nutrience in their bowls. I would buy this product again if my cats enjoyed the food as much as I enjoyed the naturalness of it. I will definitely recommend it to others with a very high rating!!!
One other reason I may not buy it is because my oldest cat was recently at the vet for three days with a life threatening urinary blockage and the vet highly recommended us to use a urinary care formulated food to help prevent any further issues.
I received the Fraser Valley flavour of Nutrience Grain Free SubZero cat food, and as with all new food, my six cats were immediately interested. I gave them a very small amount on its own just as a bit of a taste and they loved it. I then went to slowly introducing it into their regular dry food (Acana), and they still seemed to enjoy it. The more that I added, with less of the Acana, the less interested they have become. It's almost like the novelty of a new food has already worn off.
I really like the list of ingredients, as it's important to me to feed my cats a grain free food that isn't full of meat-by-products and extra unnecessary fillers, so I'll definitely stick with it until this bag is done. After that, I would probably purchase it again and feed it to them sparingly, as that is how they seem to prefer it. Making the transition permanent doesn't seem like something they would enjoy, but I would definitely recommend that any other cat owners give it a try.
Really wanted to love this food. Has great ingredients and looked to be a great alternative to my mini jungle cat's current food - blue buffalo wilderness. My little Miss has never been picky and is happy to gobble anything put in front of her. But this was a different story. After 2-weeks she will nibble a little bit here and there, but her current food wins out even when the nutrience is the only option.Going to keep trying, but I have a feeling the rest of the bag will be going to our local rescue.
That being said, both the cat and the dumb dog LOVED the box. They were trying to get into it even before we opened it! Lol!
I got this sample, and wow, my 2 cats love it. I didn't really have to transition too much, the cats went for the Nutrience so easily and fast. I like the fact the ingredients are Canadian and it's made it Canada. I'll be buying it from now on.
