Comparing Cost And Ingredients In Nutro Foods & Natural Balance.
How healthy is Nutro compared to other brands?
In all honesty, Nutro is a lower grade product that uses fillers instead of real meat.
Nutro does not make their product with human grade ingredients like many brands now do.
It is impossible for Nutro to be described as being human grade dog food.
True, it probably does not share the same price tag either, but there are many other healthy dog foods on the market, if you want an alternative to a brand like Nutro.
I recommend Natural Balance dog foods as the best choice, and its available at a very reasonable price.
Natural Balance and Blue Buffalo dog food use higher quality ingredients than Nutro such that they are not in the same category of product.
It is probably on a par with many of the Waltham dog food brands such as Cesar, Chappie, Pedigree etc.
Waltham pet foods target nutrition with convenience, as does Nutro.
Nutro is cheap to buy, but you may pay more in the long run than you would giving your dog Natural Balance dog food.
The best nutrition that you can give your dog is provided by Bones and Raw Food frozen dog food.
The BARF diet may require too much work for some people, and these dog owners have a good alternative in Natural Balance premium dog food, as it contains only the freshest, high quality, human grade ingredients.
This food is rich in nutrients; it is made with protein from top quality meat sources and includes none of the following: by-products, corn, wheat, gluten, soy, artificial flavors, artificial colors, sugars, or artificial preservatives.
Because it uses wheat and its ingredients are not human quality meat, Nutro is not able to compete with this.
Wysong pet food leaves Nutro dead in the water, using even free-range pheasant in its recipes, and with a staggering 99.9% meat content in its dried meat products.
The $14 price tag, however, can be off putting.
Dog food manufactures have to seriously consider the recent food recalls.
Fortunately for Nutro, their dry food was not affected by recalls.
On the other hand, many of the Nutro canned dog food products were recalled, as were their products for cats.
