Pets can be sensitive to sudden changes in their diets. For this reason, it is extremely important to follow a gradual transition plan to best support your pet's health and product effectiveness. It is recommended to follow at least a 7-day transition plan before exclusively feeding your pet a new food. Cats will often refuse mixed diets, so we recommend adding the new food to a separate bowl from the old food. Start by mixing 75% of your pet's current diet with 25% of the new diet on Day 1 and Day 2. On Day 3 and Day 4, mix 50% of the current diet with 50% of the new diet. On Day 5 and Day 6, mix 25% of the current diet with 75% of the new diet. On Day 7, you can feed your pet the new food exclusively. Ask your Veterinarian about the best way to transition your pet to a new food.
| Transition Day | Current Diet | New Diet |
|---|---|---|
| Days 1-2 | 75% | 25% |
| Days 3-4 | 50% | 50% |
| Days 5-6 | 25% | 75% |
| Day 7 | 0% | 100% |

Misleading
By Timk on Nov 6, 2021
My cat has been on prescription cat food for over a year now & will continue to be for the rest of his life, evey month I have to go through the approval process which delays me getting the food on time before he runs out, another issue I have is the shipping, they claim 1-2 day shipping, try a week or or more, evey month I deal with this, since chewy is the only place I can get his diabetic food, I guess I guess I just have to deal with it, however customer service is great always get to talk to someone when I call

Only Diabetic Food My Cat Has Shown Interest In
By NattyJ on Nov 24, 2021
We purchased all of the different diabetic foods. He didn't like Purina or Royal Canin. When this arrived, my cat went up to the box and started meowing because he wanted me to open it. It is the only diabetic food he has shown any interest in.

Incredibly Thankful
By Merlin on Aug 25, 2021
I bought this product because our poor boy was suffering from diarrhea for two months and his liver was no longer processing his food. He has been on insulin for over three month and we were not instructed to change his diet. He was losing weight. He went from 21 pounds to 11 pounds. The food was just going through him. I called my niece who has worked for a vet for over 12 years and she asked if we put him on a diabetic diet. I told her we were not instructed to do so. She informed me that his liver was most likely shutting down and how important it is to start, and suggested Hills. I am so glad she did. He loves it, and the diarrhea is gone within two days. We will continue him on it. I highly I bought this product because our poor boy was suffering from diarrhea for two months and his liver was no longer processing his food.

By Dawn on Nov 25, 2021
My kitty is overweight and pre-diabetic and was prescribed this food. I was worried she wouldn't eat it and it's rather expensive. She actually LOVES it.

Diabetic Cat Food
By Ruthie on Oct 28, 2021
Seems to be helping my recently diagnosed with diabetes cat. The other 3 like it too. And my vet carries it and was the one to suggest it but didn't carry the larger size.

Callie loves this food! She's always been a dry food gal. She has never had a taste for canned food. This food certainly helps her diabetic issues.

Food solution!
By catfan on Jun 26, 2021
I have a male cat around 9 years who had been getting increasingly ill, loosing weight and energy. Vet stated she thought he had diabetes. We tried first to see if we could control it with diet, and put him on this food. He loved the food immediately - refusing his old food. With in a week was acting better, 2 weeks his coat and eyes looked better, acting more like his old self. 3 weeks was running around the house and playing again. Check in with the vet showed he'd already regained a pound, there's a good chance just staying on the new food will be the right solution for him! Completely grateful

My cat likes it!
By Elizabeth on Aug 2, 2021
I was concerned about whether or not my cat would eat the prescription cat food (he is newly diagnosed with diabetes.). He took right to the new food and there's been no throwing up. I haven't been back to the vet, so I don't know if it and the insulin have reduced his blood sugars
