Purina Pro Plan Adult Sensitive Skin & Stomach Lamb & Rice Formula Dry Cat Food

My senior cat has had a terrible time the last year with vomiting, so I switched her from quality chicken food to this lamb formula. She's been on it for 2 months now (food trials take 6 - 12 weeks), and has only been sick once - and only then because of a hair ball. So I was very pleased...but I just received my new bag of food, and the label isn't all that has changed: it has more fat, less fiber, and the vitamins/minerals seem less comprehensive. She had already gained weight on the old formula because the instructions say to always have food in the bowl, and that will just get worse with this new, fattier formula. Now I have to switch her to something else, disrupting her newfound stability My senior cat has had a terrible time the last year with vomiting, so I switched her from quality chicken food to this lamb formula.

My kitty is super picky and I offered this to her when she was a kitten, and we've kept with it since she actually eats it! Her coat is beautiful. She is still a fairly itchy kitty, but I don't necessarily think that a food can solve everything. My vet recommended Purina (nothing with "chow" in it though) as a company that is know for producing quality food. They have also been really helpful when I've had to call to ask questions. I ordered this at 7 p.m. and it arrived the next morning!

All 3 of my cats love it. Did a slow transition from my old food and that went well. I have one cat that regurgitates at least once a week and now that we switched to this I have only seen 1 hair ball. No more piles of thrown up food. Very happy so far.

Out of my 9 cats, only one ate it. I tried mixing it with Purina Pro Plan Focus Hairball Formula at first and later tried feeding it separate. My cats just left it in the bowl and walked away. Maybe it was because they had never eaten Lamb & Rice Cat Food before. I did like the smaller pellet size but it was too expensive, and my finicky cats preferred their other food better.

I had the same issue with the Turkey version. My boy liked it, but my girl snubbed it. I'm sure the kitties at the local shelter will appreciate this, along with the turkey flavor. I wish my girl wasn't so picky!! I recommend this product though, if your cat has a sensitive tummy or skin, it seems really great!

All of my cats, from two years old to 16 years old, loved this dry food. I was giving them Hill's W/D dry food for many years and they all ate it but I was noticing lately that several of them were throwing up on a regular basis so I looked for a dry food for sensitive stomachs. Not one of them hesitated to eat this dry food and throwing up seems to be a thing of the past.

My 12-yr old cat had been vomiting almost every morning for years immediately after eating. She had no health reason for this, other than possible anxiety from my other two cats. I decided to change her to this food for the heck of it and she stopped throwing up that very day. I was absolutely amazed at the immediate change. She loves the food and is so much healthier since she put on a pound or two.

We currently have two cats that need special properties of this food, in being for sensitive stomachs. One cat just needed the change to a novel protein so the switch from chicken which she ate for years to lamb worked great. Yes some cats can eat the same thing for 5-10 years and suddenly develop issues with the protein (meat), so it may be as simple as switching the type as we did from chicken to lamb. I learned this because I have another cat who is my cancer kitty who has IBD. For those of you who have gone through all the fun of finding a cat food, the cat can tolerate without throwing up, including all the prescription novel protein and hydrolyzed foods this might be an option.

My other cat was eating Hydrolyzed prescription food. He still eats it, however, after getting the new cat in the house, this food seems to work for him as well as long as he is on his prednisolone. The bonus is that by buying this all the cats are on the same food, it's cheaper and I don't have to have a prescription to purchase the food. One thing you learn while trying to find a food that a cat with IBD can eat is that as the vet pointed out, cats are unlike dogs, if they don't like a food, they won't eat it no matter how hungry they get, so be patient in finding that food for your cat My cat lost almost 5 lbs before we found a cat food he could tolerate. … more

I have an older cat who has digestive issues. I switched to this a couple of weeks ago, and she seems to be doing a little better, though it's too soon to know for sure. I mix this with wet food (Tiki Cat and American Journey, both with meat as the first ingredient, and no by-products like legs and beaks). All 3 foods are pricey, but I can't let her continue to have problems with vomiting her food. She'll even eat this without wet food, so that's how good it is - also with quality ingredients and no by-products. I add the wet food because she's old and starting to loose teeth, and I know I'll have to switch over soon. As long as I control her portions, she's been doing better.

My cat has been having diarrhea ever since I got her, and since she is a long hair cat, it gets everywhere and is very hard to clean. She was in Taste of the Wild for a while which helped temporarily, but her stools would still be on the loose and soft side. After having tried everything, I was so scared to try more cat foods since she would just end up getting diarrhea from them, but having seen the great reviews of this one, I tried it. Now her stools are almost normal and a lot drier than before!
