    I received the CAT Prairie Red Formula to try and I was very impressed by the quality of the ingredients ! I It is very important to me that I feed my three cats real ingredients made in Canada , And this fits the bill. 2 of my three cats were thrilled with the taste but unfortunately I have a finicky third cat that wanted nothing to do with it . She actually picked her old food out of the bowl and left the Nutrience brand untouched . I am thinking of maybe the chicken variety instead might suit her needs ! I think I will try it out as I would love to switch all mine to this brand ! Does the company offer trial packs ?

    I forget to mention the size of the kibble is perfect for little kitten mouths . I find sometimes other brands are too big for my little girl to chew !

    When I first introduced Prairie Red Flavor Beef the cat refused to eat it, even when mixed with his other food, he would eat his regular food & leave the new food on the plate. It took about a week before he would take a bite. Now that he has finally tasted it he seems to like the food. Everytime I have put the food down he eats it.

    His coat is more shiny - seems happy with the taste of the food. Smells nice when opening the bag.


    The bits are nice & small for his teeth & mouth.


    The food is kinda expensive but I do understand why as there are many ingredients

    I have five cats, three who can (and will) eat pretty much anything and two who puke up anything that isn't their regular brand of food, so I was hesitant to try this product. Their current food is a fairly expensive, grain-free brand, made from a blend of locally sourced chicken and fish.

    Because I was worried it might lead to upset tummies and unpleasant surprises, I put the Nutrience food in only one of the two food bowls that we have out, in the hopes that doing so would help minimize the mess.

    To my surprise, there was no mess, no upset tummies, and everyone seemed to enjoy the flavor. The packaging was sturdy, the food seemed fresh and didn't smell any better or worse than our usual brand.

    According to a few websites I checked, the Nutrience Grain Free SubZero retials for less than my usual brand, but it's not on the shelves at my local pet store, so I won't be changing brands just yet. Our local store has a customer loyalty program that gives us access to coupons, occasional sales and a free bag of food for every ten purchases, so I don't want to change retailers. Hopefully, this product will soon be on the shelves at my local pet store.

    I got this as a sample from ChickAdvisor. This was a great food to start Demon on, she has a couple tooth problems so the smaller size of kibble was fantastic and she barely took time to transition because she loved it right off the bat.

    We tested the Fraser Valley cat food. I tend to look for food with natural ingredients and no by-products or grain fillers. I was surprised at the quantity listed to feed my cats. After trying the guidelines a few adjustments were made but it is a very dense food and they don't need as much as they did from their previous food. The kibble is nice and small which is great for my senior cat.
    Litter box odours and amounts were less than their previous food even considering they are eating less but they seem to be digesting this food easier and better.
    I have noticed their fur looks shinier and healthier and they seemed to have more energy during play time.
    After seeing how my fur babies look and enjoy this food, I will continue feeding them SubZero.

    When I received the Nutrience Grian Free subzero (Prairie Red), my cat gone crazy. I gave it some of the food like a treat to know if it would like it. First impression, my cat seems to love that food... The next morning my boyfriend gave only that food to my cat... it did not eat the whole day. I had to put some ''paté'' in it food... well... we mixed the nutrience food with is regular food and now it eat. The coat of my cat is very soft and ''silky''. it seem to have more energy and be happy to eat!

    I recently got the opportunity to review Nutrience Grain Free SubZero Cat Food thanks to ChickAdvisor and I was pretty excited about it, well me and my cats! I received the Prairie Red flavour for my cats and they absolutely loved it, they were smelling the bag and wanting it before I even opened the bag, and as soon as I did they kept wanting more! I have noticed that they seem to have softer coats after using this food and seem to get more full with less food, which is a huge plus. I really liked that this food was grain free and made from a healthy selection of ingredients, because I always want my pets to have the best. I will for sure be looking to purchase again and be caring on the excellence of this food to my friends and family with pets!

    I’m very happy to have been selected to offer #Nutrience #grainfree #kibble + freeze-dried raw with Nutriboost to my cat. I received the #TrySubZero Fraser Valley formula that is made with Canadian chicken, turkey, wild-caught Pacific salmon, herring & cod. Reading the list of healthy ingredients that does not contain any useless and potentially harmful fillers and additives caught my attention right away. My cat found the scent very appealing and took to the formula instantly. The first thing I noticed when I opened the perfectly sealed bag was the smell of fresh ingredients. No artificial smell with this formula. The kibble was the perfect size and I found that the ratio of kibble and Nutriboost pieces was ideal and provided a nutritious meal for my cat. I was impressed to read that the Nutriboost freeze-dried raw pieces are made with fresh chicken that are infused with green mussels, pacific cod liver, pumpkin and Acadian kelp, and then gently freeze-dried to lock in the natural goodness of raw, providing superior flavor and promoting optimal health. Nutrience Sub Zero contains everything that your cat needs to stay healthy. My cat was satisfied after eating and I’ve noticed an increased energy level. I find that less food goes a long way in keeping her full thanks to the quality ingredients. Her coat is shinier since eating Sub Zero and her fur no longer has annoying pieces of dry skin when I brush her. She also seems more affectionate since starting to eat Nutrience Sub Zero kibble. I think that it’s her way of saying thank you for loving her enough to introduce her to this flavourful #grainfree #kibble that tastes as good as it smells. My cat looks forward to mealtime and I have Nutrience to thank for. Knowing that I’m offering my cat the best possible nutrition gives me peace of mind and to see her eat with gusto tells me that this is the kibble for her. I will continue to offer her Nutrience Sub Zero and highly recommend this cat food to everyone. Your pet will thank you! When I stopped by the Pet Store to pick up some supplies; I asked the salesclerk about the brand Nutrience and he couldn’t say enough about it. He mentioned that it is becoming very popular and the kibble for both cats and dogs keep flying off the shelves. Good to know that I am not the only one who feels the same way about the benefits of serving Nutrience to my pet. It’s been a very positive experience for my cat. Thank you very much @Nutrience_ and @ChickAdvisor for giving me the opportunity to offer #TrySubZero to my beloved pet.

    I have a 6 year old Siamese cat named Mishka. Mishka has a very sensitive tummy and often gets sick from her food and brings it up.
    It has been a struggle to find the right food for her. I was very excited when my sample arrived and couldn't wait for her to try it.
    She loved it and no bringing up yet!
    Finally a food with real ingredients.

    I was chosen to try this product as part of the Chick Advisor product review club.

    My girl seemed to really enjoy this food. She never eats a whole bowl of food at one time, but with this she inhaled it. Her fur seems much healthier after a week of this food, it's definitely much softer. She doesn't have that nasty cat breath any more as well. Now that this bag is gone, I'm going to have to buy more because she won't eat her regular food now!

    I really like that the ingredients are clear and simple and easy to understand. No harmful or irritating additives in this stuff.
