 Good for cats - Loved by cats |

Approximately 20 years ago, I began to exclusively feed our cats Iams or Science Diet. Those brands were recommended by our Veterinarian after our first cat showed signs of Feline Urinary Syndrome (FUS). I had previously fed the cats the typical brands such as 9 Lives, Purina and Friskies.
I continued with IAMS and Science Diet, because the other brands caused FUS, caused other digestive problems and the good reputation of IAMS and Science Diet.
Then last year, one of our cats developed bladder disease and died.
Not long afterward, the pet food scandal broke. Cat and dog food from nearly every pet food company, including premium foods like IAMS and Science, were tainted by melamine. More than 150 brands of cat and dog food were recalled. IAMS and Science Diet were two of the recalled brands, as was natural sounding brands such as Nutro.
I vowed to never again purchase pet food from the brands that had betrayed my trust. I began searching for pet food that was all natural and organic. Newman's Own is both natural and organic. It was also one of the few brands not recalled. Although it was difficult to find a local source, I finally found a few, including Amazon.
My cats love Newman's Own canned and dry food. They also love Innova EVO. I love it because I don't have to worry about tainted food poisoning my cats.
Pros:
1. Peace of mind
2. Does not cause FUS, as did Purina and other similar brands
3. Much less likely to be tainted by lethal contaminants
4. The cats love it
5. Does not cause the other digestive problems.
Cons:
1. It is more expensive than the non-premium brands
2. It can be difficult to find a nearby store that sells Newman's Own.
Overall, the pros outweigh the cons. And I can now add Amazon to my list of sources for the food. |
My cat actually loves it......

| ...and he hates everything. I fed my cat Iam's for years, because his vet reccomended it and therefore I figured it must be the best for him, but after the cat food scare, I wanted to get out of all the traditional brands. The vet reccomended another brand, which I cannot think of the name right now... that you can buy at PetSmart. It was pretty pricey - about $28 for a 64 oz bag. My cat hated it, he refused to eat it, and it looked wooden.But I took him to a playdate at a friends and he has this habit of eating out everyone's bowl and came across Newman's Own in his friend's food bowl. He loved it! My friend sent me home with enough to transition him and I ordered a bag instantly from Amazon. And if you are looking to go organic with your kitty, comparatively, the price for Newman's Own is right. Much cheaper than those in the same class. |
great cat food!

| I bought Newman's Own after the cat chow scare as well but was surprised at the change in my cat's behavior and activity level within the first month of the switch. I wish it were available nearby but I'm signing up for the auto ship which gives you free shipping and a lower price. My cats love the flavor and respond well to the nutrition and absence of processing in their food. I know how lethargic I feel when I get busy and eat too much processed food-why would they react any differently? It's well worth the money-I've tried cat chow naturals and while it is better than regular it does not produce the level of improvement that PN does so I'm sticking with the good stuff! |
Fine food...

| Newmans cat foods are among the finest and tastiest (according to my four furry friends) canned food available. Haven't found any of the varieties which they didn't thoroughly enjoy and finish every morsel. Thanks Paul !!! |
Great Food

My cat started throwing up while I was on a business trip. I used amazon prime to overnight this to the friend that was taking care of her. He switched her over to this food, and she stopped vomiting.
She has been happy with this food for 6 months, which is a long time for her. Being able to get anytime, anywhere is a big plus for me.
It's also a nice round shaped food, which works well with automatic cat feeders. |
My cats seem to love it.

I've got two cats. One is about 8 years old, grey shorthair domestic, and very calm by nature. The other is about 4 years old, abyssinian, and a loud pain in the butt by nature.
I've been feeding them the Nutro for fat cats, and they eat it up, but never all at once. I decided against IAMS a long time ago because of their issues with animal cruelty while doing their nutrition/diet tests on animals.
Today I decided to buy them Newman's Own Adult Cat. I didn't give them too much since it's not a weight control formula (which, frankly, both my cats need). They both practically inhaled this stuff. Later on the abyssinian even went back to lick the dish some more.
After they ate it they both instantly became very calm and went to sleep.
I'll keep an eye on how much they keep on liking this food. If all goes well, I'll keep buying it despite the slightly higher price. (The price at Whole Foods was similar to the price here on Amazon... where can I get this for the other price people have seen? That's like half the price... are you guys sure you're getting the same size bags?) But it's Newman's Own and they give money to animal charities, so that takes some edge off the price.
My only wish is they also made a weight control cat food as well. |

| A little too expensive for me as I have 4 cats. But I have read the ingredients, and being familiar with most of the higher end brands this one is right up there with them. It is good for cats that have sensitive tummies. |

| We have sphynx cats. The breed often has skin problems, and ours were no exception. We had tried everything. Also, one had to be on prescription food because of digestive problems. Well, we wised up and switched them to organic food. If we were eating all organic, why wouldn't it help them? And within 2 weeks of the switch, NO more digestive trouble and NO more skin issues. It's been 6 months and we'll never go back. Excellent product and they love it! |
Great Food, Worth the Money

| I've been feeding my cat this food for the past year and she loves it. She hasn't gotten sick from it or shows any signs of being sick. A few weeks ago she got a clean bill of health from the vet, so I know there is nothing in this food that is potentially harmful. I really like this food, and the fact that is doesn't have any animal by-products is a plus. I would recommend Newman's Own Dry Cat Food. |
Eliminated Tummy Troubles

| Because cat health is so important, I mix Newman's Own with a variety of other premium cat foods (e.g., Science Diet, Iams). My cats like their mixture & we have eliminated a lot of tummy troubles.I'm going to continue to make Newman's Own a significant portion of their diet. |
This is very high quality food and my cat goes crazy for it.

Wow, I was surprised to read the other reviews here. After doing extensive research on this and other dry and wet foods, I found Newman's Organic to be one of the highest quality available.
I was disturbed over the number of cancer deaths in both dogs and cats occurring each year. The numbers keep going up and I figured it must be related to their diets. This food uses human grade natural chicken (no hormones, antibiotics, pesticides) in both their canned and dry food.
I wish this listing had the Nutrition Facts, but if you go to newmansownorganics dot com and read the FAQs you will learn a great deal about pet nutrition. My cat loves this stuff and had no trouble with the transition from its old food. She also loves the canned food. |
Excellent organics for the kids

| This cat food is great. My big tom cat eats it as well as my two tiny doggies. Its all natural and doesnt make them sick or throw up. Nothing like that. That animals normally do with cheap processed pet food. And Amazon's price is much cheaper than the health food stores around. Good luck! |

| I find the Newman products made of great quality and am willing to pay more for it. The pet products, like cat food, are good quality and gives me peace of mind in terms of what I am feeding our cats or dogs. Highly recommend. |
Price increase? Twice the price!

| This is the healthiest cat food I can find, my cat loves it, and it contains no byproduct which I will never feed my cat, the only downside is it's a bit expensive but for my cat it's worth it. |
healthful food.

i had always feed my two cats purina brand without any problems, but as the younger one got older he developed acne. looking for a product without fillers or by-products, i switched to newman's own.
the older cat (usually picky in tastes) had no problems switching, but acne-cat practically starved himself. now he won't eat anything else (call it acquired taste?)
the acne is totally gone & both cats are more healthy than ever, although keeping their weight in check can be problematic. |
