Small kibbles they eat

My cat is doing well with the switch to the Purina DM products. When I placed this order I was super stressed and the Chewy guide via phone was super helpful.

My cat is doing well with the switch to the Purina DM products. When I placed this order I was super stressed and the Chewy guide via phone was super helpful. I was very worried I might be ordering the wrong thing. The foods seem very expensive but looking back at my 17 year old cat who got switched to yd Hills earlier, he is doing amazing now with no need for medications or added stress. Chewy has been very helpful all the time in getting my pets what they need, even when I am in panic mode. Thank you!

We have a cat with diabetes. This food was recommended by our veterinarian. While we definitely did our own research and found other foods that were "better" for a diabetic cat to eat? Our cat loves this food. So we switched his entire diet around. Instead of being "kibble heavy" him (and his cat siblings) are now mostly on a wet food diet and this kibble is used as their "snack" during the day. Since we caught our cat's diabetes so early? The strict diet change has been enough to keep him off of insulin for now. (Please note that this outcome is extremely rare!) But this food was his preferred kibble - he refused all other kinds we tried.

This isn't necessarily about the product. A day or two before Christmas, my food was delivered and stolen before I could receive it. On Christmas day I contacted customer service just on a whim. Not only was it open, I was granted an immediate second shipment free of charge that I received only 2 days later. My cat has diabetes, and he was very low on food when I noticed it had been stolen. Your customer service and business style is absolutely incredible, and I will not forget how excellent your service has been to me.

After owning cats for nearly my entire life, I know prescription food is never well received. Sunny is young and overweight. She tries the new food from time to time. Her sister, Misty, constantly tries to bury the dish. They are eating wet food, one brand only, but dry food must have been their only diet when they were fostered. I understand that adoption of a new food takes time and we are two weeks in. The girls have their former dry food available and we will keep trying. The DM food has very hard pieces, something a cat with bad teeth couldn’t handle unless it was moistened.

Too high in carbs

While my vet recommended this food for my diabetic cat, and he loved it, it is too high in carbs at over 30 percent. I’ve since learned that diabetic kitties should have 10 percent or fewer carbs in their food and switched to Dr. Elsey’s. He also loves that kibble, as do all my non-diabetic kitties and it’s a little less expensive. Remy’s need for insulin has reduced from 1.5 to a micro dose of .13 twice a day since getting him off this food. If you have a diabetic cat, I recommend you join the Feline Diabetes Support Group on Facebook, you’ll learn a lot and get fast feedback for questions.

Due to my diabetic cat all of my cats eat his dry food. I changed to the Purina because of their lack of interest in their feed. In about 2 weeks I noticed positive changes in all of them. They love this food, all playing, shiny soft coats and even there are positive discoveries in their litter boxes. Now my diabetic cat has been overweight for years but today I weighed him and for the first time in years he actually lost 1+ lbs. So glad I switched to Purina DM.

Perfectly delicious but unnecessarily expensive!

My cats love this stuff. I started buying it when I had one diabetic cat, and the others liked it too, so that's what I feed them even though the first one has passed

My cats love this stuff. I started buying it when I had one diabetic cat, and the others liked it too, so that's what I feed them even though the first one has passed. I honestly don't see why it needs a prescription or why it has to cost so much, but we do what we do for our little ones.
