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% |

She likes it - she really likes it!
By Godzilla on May 13, 2021
My 2 year old gained a bit of weight post surgery and is 100% indoors. I’d been feeding her an over-the-counter reduced caloric food but she really didn’t like it much. I don’t know if this is a good thing but she is really enjoying this food - and she is extremely picky. I also have a couple of outdoor cats (who patrol & protect my backyard) who are loving it, too. So a total winner! Kinda wish it wasn’t so pricey, but for my kids I will deal with cost.

My cat loves this!
By 4catmom on Mar 26, 2021
My cat was diagnosed with diabetes about 9 months ago and has been eating the same diabetic support dry food since then. We wanted to provide him with some variety since he generally doesn't like wet food. When I opened this bag of food, he pounced right on it. He didn't even notice when I gave him his shot because he was so entranced by the new food! My other non-diabetic cats also enjoy this food as a treat. The only negative is that I find the food to be rather unpleasant smelling but that's okay as I'm not the one who eats it!

Help for Diabetic Cats
By PunkensMom on Jun 1, 2021
My Vet chose this food for my fur baby after being diagnosed as diabetic. She eats a little of it as she doesn't care for chicken. Wish it came in Duck or fish flavors.

By Helen on Apr 24, 2021
This was the second dry food for diabetes recommended for my recently diagnosed cat. Apollo turned his nose up at the first, but liked this one right away. It was a relief to find it and I'm thankful Chewy stocks it.

Great for diabetic care
By Lissy on Apr 1, 2021
This food quickly became a favorite of my diabetic boy. He switched to it with no problem or GI upset. The only thing for him is figuring out what exactly is 5/8th of a cup! Lol math to the rescue.

Dry cat food
By Jabbers on Mar 12, 2021
My cat has a hard time with the shape of this dry food. It would work better if it was square. The little pellets are hard for her to bit I can tell she likes it but just can’t get the pellets between her teeth to crunch because of the size and shape.

Liked by my cat
By CallieC on Apr 9, 2021
Although we had to switch to this diet after 10 years, my cat enjoys this dry food as much as her old dry food. A relief that it was a seamless transition.
