Which is better for my cats: Nutro Max or Purina One Beyond?
Hi maquignon! Just for your info, Nutro Max is less expensive than either Blue Buffalo or Wellness. I am not familiar with By Nature. The 3 I am familiar with are all fine foods.Originally Posted by maquignon
Neither is very good. Good foods for about the same price are Blue Buffalo, Wellness and By Nature.
Thats a trick question, since the obvious answer is a soft brownie sandwiched between two cookies.Originally Posted by Mollysmom
We know, but if someone came on and said, what's a better diet for my child- cookies or brownies?

I apologize, but that was my first reaction.
I wanted to be helpful, that's why I asked if there are any other brands available or another store you can go to, to possibly find a better food than either.
If my life were dependent on it and there's absolutely nothing better you can find, I would say Purina One Beyond is better, but it has really low protein for a cat.
thank you!Originally Posted by zak&rocky
i would stick with the nutro max for now. Here is my reasoning. The beyond just came out. It may end up being discontinued after a few months.
You are absolutely right. I did not answer your question. I apologize. If those are your only two options, by all means choose Purina One Beyond. It is a far better food. Reasons - The first two ingredients in Purina are meat. Nutro has only one. Purina uses whole grains with the nutrients intact. Nutro uses grain particles, a sure sign of a very low quality food. How nutritious can wheat flour and rice flour be? Nutro uses corn gluten, the protein part of the corn used by the lowest of the low quality foods to boost the protein percentage with cheap, hard to digest plant protein. Here is a quote copied from Nutro's own website advertising their new grain free dog food (the worst grain free food there is). "Completely gluten free – the grain component thatâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s hardest to digest." Nutro has a slightly higher protein percentage but a big part of it is plant protein from corn. The quality of the protein is far more important than the percentage and corn protein is very low quality. Purina has more fruits and vegetables with the natural vitamins and minerals and they are higher up on the list. Purina has a much better balance of Omega 6 to Omega 3 fatty acids. Doesn't make much difference how much Omega 6 if there is not a balance of Omega 3. They both use menadione, which, in my book is reason enough not to use either one but if you must choose between these two, Purina One Beyond beats Nutro Max by a country mile.Originally Posted by Crazyforinfo
Thanks but my question was which of the two not if there is any other better brands out there.
