MumMumMum's Full Review: nutro products Nutro Max Mini Chunk Dog Food
In May of last year we had the supreme honour of adopting our dog, Hobbes, the “little black puppy with no hay on it”. Hobbes is a mixed breed, and although we were told that he’d be mainly black lab, we’re pretty sure that our little fellow is actually mainly Border collie, albeit a big black Border collie! He’s not so little anymore, and that’s because he’s been playing, growing, and eating well. One of the foods we have served to Hobbes in our search for a dog food that he would love has been Nutro MAX Mini Chunk.
Why Nutro MAX Mini Chunk?
One of the reasons we chose Nutro MAX Mini Chunk is because of our great satisfaction with other Nutro MAX products. Another reason is a pretty big reason. From the packaging: No Chicken By-Products. Most dog foods contain chicken by-products or poultry by-products as a source of protein. That means including chicken or poultry heads, feet and guts – ingredients you’ll never find in Nutro MAX Mini Chunk. We use the same parts of chicken you feed your family. No heads, no feet, no guts. In my opinion that’s a pretty compelling reason to purchase a dog food. There are of course other reasons and factors to take into consideration when purchasing a dog food, and one of them is the easy digestibility and nutritional content of this dog food. It features the same formulation as MAX Natural, with chicken and lamb protein and rice. With a formula that is designed to give your dog a high concentration of polyunsaturated fatty acids and essential vitamins and minerals, nutritional deficiencies can be avoided. Nutro MAX Mini Chunk provides these essential ingredients, and uses natural Vitamin E as a preservative to keep every bit of this dog food fresh and retaining its maximum nutritional benefits. And Nutro never uses any ground corn or indigestible fillers.
Nutro MAX Mini Chunk has also been tested to show that it produces less stool volume, and it is indeed small and firm. Well, that means a neater, cleaner, and healthier yard for my family, and a lot less cleanup time for me!
Other product claims (from packaging):
~Real chicken and lamb protein
~All natural with vitamins and minerals
~Formulated for a healthy skin and coat
~Easy to digest, less cleanup
Hobbes, do you give this paws up or paws down?
Hobbes is a very picky eater. Perhaps he was born that way; perhaps he picked it up from my picky-eater-children. So it is sometimes a challenge to find a food that “Mr. Picky” will eat. We’ve also noticed that Hobbes is somewhat, how shall I put this, lazy. He likes to lie down when he’s eating, and he seems to like smaller sized food. So he really took to this kibble sized dog food that Nutro touts as being for dogs who prefer a smaller bite size. At least he did take to it after his standard initial “what’s this, do I like it, is it the right colour, texture, day, or month, for me to eat this” reaction. Those small round bits and bites of food disappeared faster than we could say “Good Dog” after that. He had no problem with digesting the food. We found the easy to digest claim to be true, and we had no problems with “clean-up” when walking Hobbes. His coat was shiny and remained so while eating this food, and he had just as much energy as always. I do recommend Nutro MAX Mini Chunk. This dog food is perfect for smaller dogs who need a smaller sized dog food, or even larger dogs, like our Hobbes, who just prefer a little something. I recommend all Nutro products that we’ve tried and continue to use daily. My dog is very healthy, very energetic, and very happy. And that's what its all about, isn't it?
