    Our senior cat Cali has been enjoying this new food as a treat mixed into her usual food. She even picks out the new food from her bowl first. The healthy ingredients look amazing. Substance and quality! Other foods have made her vomit but this has been easy on her tummy. We feel good about giving her Nutrience.

    I tried the Nutrience Grain Free SubZero Cat Food with Penelope. I started out giving it as treats which she did eat. I started mixing it with her other food she was eating it here and there. I eventually gave it to her completely and she did not want to eat it. The food is very good for most pets but with Penelope it was not a great hit. The only way you should try it out on your pets and see if they like it. All pets are not the same. I did enjoy trying it out on Penelope.

    Mon chat à adorer les premières bouchées qu'il a goûté. Toutefois, compte tenu que les croquettes sont très très petites, plus souvent qu'autrement, il les avale toutes rondes sans les croquer. A la longue, le nourrir uniquement avec ces croquettes, une accumulation de tartre sur ses dents serait évidente. Donc, je continu de lui donner ses croquettes habituelles et Nutience Grain Free SubZero Cat Food devient alors une gâterie de temps à autre pour lui.

    My 2 cats really liked the Fraser Valley cat food that we received for free, to test & review.. They came running every time they heard the bag crinkle, lol. I found that it gave them more energy, as they seemed friskier than usual. It's very important for their food to have real, natural ingredients. It is however, kind of expensive, so I don't think I'll be making the change to this food permanent. They just love their regular food more. I will be sharing my experience, and recommending this food to my friends.

    When the Nutrience Grain Free SubZero Cat Food came in the mail, my cat knew right away! Immediately she was drawn to the box and started rubbing her head on it. We received the Fraser Valley cat food with chicken, turkey, salmon, herring and cod. At first she was very hesitant to eat it - she's getting older and doesn't like too many changes - but after awhile, she really enjoyed it! She seems to prefer the freeze dried stuff to the kibble and eats that first. I thought it was great that this food is available now... I was looking to switch her to something more natural and healthier than her current food. I would purchase this again for her. I received this for free from ChickAdvisor in exchange for our honest review.

    This is a very high-quality cat food - the ingredient list is quite impressive (Prairie Red, Cat). I have an indoor cat with medium hair and normally feed him Blue Buffalo, so his coat was already shiny and soft. I integrated some of this food with his usual food and he seemed to really like it at first. I presented some on its own as a 'treat' and he ate it happily.

    After about 2 weeks he seems to not be eating quite as much as usual and I suspect he might be eating around the Nutrience, so my cat might be too picky. His coat and energy level have not changed, so I still think this cat food is a great product.

    I am going to keep integrating it into his normal food and would consider purchasing if he starts to favour it.


    I received this product for free to review.

    Thank you to Chickadvisor and Nutrience for giving me a free bag to give my little critter! I found this brands ingriedients very similar to my usual one with being grain and gluten free without fillers. Which I very much prefer since cats in the wild don't eat or need those added to their diet. I also liked how small the kibble was to make it easier for my cat devour every morning. The only reason I wouldn't purchase in the future is because it's much more expensive then the brand I regularly buy. Otherwise a great product that knows what your cat needs and doesn't for a healthier coat and energy.

    **I received this product free from Chick Advisor**

    The cats got the Prairie Red Fraser Valley blend

    Meet my Cats:
    I guess let me start off by saying I own two very different cats. One (Gotham) is a little hell raiser who is only 1year old and the other (Cassi) she is 5 (we think) and a miserable grumpus who has no time to be bothered with Gotham.

    Regular Diet:
    Both cats regularly eat Hills Science Diet Total Dental care kibble and Chunks and gravy wet food. 1/2 cup Dry in the morning each and 1/2 can Wet in the evening each.

    The Unboxing:
    At first when I opened the box they ate through the bag to get at its contents so I couldn't even take a decent before shot so my hopes were high!

    Introductions:
    Secondly they jumped at the opportunity to "Snack" on this as a "Treat" to first PROPERLY introduce them to it...even though they chewed through the damn bag... I digress!!

    Integrating it into Daily Diet:
    But what I noticed after integrating it into their daily diet is they left all the little kibbles and only ate the Hills kibbles (5 times the size of the tiny kibbles) and the freezer dried meats.

    As the week progressed I started to eliminate the Hills Dental kibble from the ratio and found that they would pick over the tiny kibbles and wine incisively like they were starving with a full bowl of food.

    Final Thoughts:
    They do eat it, but I feel that if the kibbles were larger they may enjoy it more, as each morning I am tossing left over tiny kibbles to give them fresh food.

    I thought for sure that Cassi would be all over this as she seemed to prefer smaller kibbles (she's the type to chew once and leave her fall outs all over the ground) but she seemed she could take it or leave it.

    I've fed Nutrience kibbles in the past to other cats and found it to be a diverse line at a reasonable price and quite enjoyable for my other cat (bless his soul) but for some reason my current cats (Gotham and Cassi) are kinda unimpressed by it.

    As far as their coats, They have always been incredibly soft and full, but this is I am sure due to their previous diet so It didn't really make any difference that I can noticeably see or feel for better or worse.

    As far as their energy levels go. Not particularly any change on that front either. Cassi is starting to play a little more but I think that's more to do with Gotham teaching her how to Cat. LOL.

    MY Recommendations:
    Nutrience has a diverse line as I mentioned, if this one isn't the right fit for your Cat, there is a good chance that they have something that will appease them. Things I always consider when looking into new foods, or brands specially for cats:

    -Ash content
    - Magnesium content
    -Moisture
    - Vet Recommended
    -Vet Tested

    If ever you have any questions regarding your pets food bring it to your vet for them to look over, Mine has been very patient with me when I have questions for her and she helps me with the Right questions I should ask the 800 numbers that are usually found on the packaging.
    I've had a cat pass from Crystals, and it is not a pleasant experience so these things listed above are highly important to me when sourcing new food.

    I hope I have been helpful!

    My cats loved this food! They are quite picky and I was surprised how much they liked it.

    I chose the Prairie Red variety for Scooter and Poe to try out (my cats). The large bag will last them a long time as I have been putting a bit of the kibble here and there on top of their vet canned food, it's been a treat for them!

    I also enjoyed the selfie stick that came in the box as well as the coupons to use on future purchases. This was quite a unique experience as normally we just get beauty products to try out from the PRC, so this was super cool.
