Naturals Plus Vitamins & Minerals Cat Chow from Purina: A Review

I am always looking out for wholesome, all natural food for my pet cat. Usually, I find that such a kind of cat chow that claims to be all natural is either really expensive or falls short of its claims. On my recent trip to Wal-Mart I came across Purina's Naturals Plus Vitamins & Minerals Cat Chow. I have never tried Purina brand cat food before so I decided to give it a try.

The labeling on this particular cat food claims that it is made with "real chicken for high quality protein to help maintain lean muscle mass". It also contains "protein rich salmon high in omega fatty acids for healthy skin and a shiny coat". It is also made with 'whole grains for a naturally healthy energy level" and "contains the goodness of the leafy greens spinach and parsley". This product is free of added artificial flavors or preservatives. Looking at the ingredients labeling, I did not see any animal by-products which exists in many cat foods which serves as a temporary appetite filler and is not wholesome for your pet.

Here is my take on this product. The ingredients appear to be healthy and natural which makes me feel better about serving it to my cat. However, I have noticed that with this food, my cat seems to get hungry more often, even though we give her the same amount of portions like any other past cat food. I'm not sure if there is just not enough substance or meat/protein in this particular cat chow or what. Simply because of that, I would probably try another natural cat food that will be more satisfying for my cat. If all else fails I wills till give this brand another try. Please note that my cat has a vociferous, non-picky appetite, so if your cat does not eat as much, then you still might want to give this a try.

This comes in a 6.3 pound bag and retails for around five to six dollars. I bought it at my local Wal-mart, but since Purina is a well known brand I'm certain this can be purchased at other mass merchandise stores and specialty pet supplies stores.
