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% |

Stoney will just have to make do with it
By Stoney0SweetPea on Feb 8, 2021
Not a diabetic favorite food for Stoney, but, he says he will eat it before he starves...large cans are wasteful because cats do not like 'left overs' no matter how good the cat food was at first and diabetic cats are restricted to 3 oz. at a time, not 5.5 ozs so leftovers happen. Not a lot of variety out there for him and soooo $$$$.... Thank you, Mommy and Stoney

Dented cans
By Gizmo on Feb 10, 2021
Although the food is great. I notice in this product as well as other Purina options the cans are dented when I receive them. Sometimes to the point that there is a hole in the can and the food has to be thrown out. They must take a beating for this to happen considering how the food is packed. Otherwise the product would be 5 stars.

Wet Cat Food-Pate
By Rudey on Feb 11, 2021
Our Vet recommended this wet cat food The cat was okay with it but lately has been a little stand offish, he really doesn't have an issue with pate but because there is only one flavor and texture I think he wants a little variety. I will continue using and maybe buy the stew type to change it up a little.

Purina DM Initial Order
By MattKam on Mar 5, 2021
This was the first time I had to order my cat's food along with a Script from the Vet. Chewy made the process as painless as possible. Not to forget the most important part that Bella loves her new diabetic meals. Two thumbs up!!

Pate vs chunks is n gravy
By NevaJ on Jan 16, 2021
Our kitty was started on this prescription food because of excessive weight gain. I gave 4 stars instead of 5 because I thought I was ordering a chunks with gravy style, which our kitty prefers, but got pate instead. She seems to be adjusting ok and eats most of it, which is amazing because she is VERY particular.

Damaged Cans
By Kathy on Jan 11, 2021
My cat loves this product, but I purchased a case and too many of the cans were dented upon arrival. Whether this was a Chewy shipping issue or a Purina issue, I'm not sure. I have autoship set up so I hope this doesn't happen again.
