    One of the best brands found in the supermarket. Newman’s wet cat food rates high, too. If you buy supermarket pet food,Newman’s is a very good choice.

    Make sure your cats get filtered water (not bottled!). They hate the smell of chlorine, and that makes them drink less. Filtered water that takes out chlorine which smells good to cats, and if they drink more they have a chance at far fewer health problems, especially if you only serve dry cat food.

    When I opened Newman’s canned food it smelled as if it was decomposing. My cat didn’t seem bothered and she didn’t get sick, but I wouldn’t buy it again.

    I bought a bag of Newmans Own Adult cat dry. She would not touch it. Sat there for a week and a half just to see if she would. Nope.
