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% |

Good for Diabetic Cats
By Smokey on Nov 23, 2020
I was surprised how big the cans were. So I usually divide the food up into two servings. Since I only have one diabetic cat. The case was the best value for me. My cat liked it at first then he got picky but would eat it. I am happy there is a choice with diabetic cats. Not much choice but a choice. I am always impressed with Chewy & how fast they get the stuff to you. I am very impressed with that & their prices are fair.

It's a hit!
By 4my2boys on Oct 29, 2020
I was cautious about buying a pricey new brand of cat food for my boys. Ones now diabetic so it was a must. After looking through many reviews, I chose this and am glad I did! It's a hit! There are never any issues with the cats turning up they're noses at it. They eat the canned, plus the hard food of the same type. I mix the new hard food with the old one for them to get used to. Only caution is that it doesn't help with the hairballs so much. But still am buying again!

My kitty loves this!
By Cleo on Nov 9, 2020
My kitty was recently diagnosed with diabetes and this is the food that my vet recommended. I was nervous as my cat has been picky with food in the past, but she absolutely loves this and it's helping her get back to a healthier state. I definitely plan on getting more of it!

Cat loves this food
By KatC on Oct 8, 2020
DM was prescribed for my newly diagnosed diabetic cat and she took to it immediately. She's not typically finicky but she's been known to turn up her nose at new foods or flavors. She's gained some weight after her DKA and she's perking up after about a month of lethargy. Was initially skeptical about the ingredient list because I'm more accustomed to serving her whole foods, but the vet highly recommended DM. Ordered more of this food with the hopes it helps her into remission!

Good food when needed
By Good on Oct 7, 2020
This was just the trick for getting our (elderly, diabetic) cat to eat when the savory (i.e. chunky) variant became too much for her to chew and swallow. We had tried making a puree ourselves, but this product proved much more palatable. As for Chewy's role in the process, they were great. The auto-ship feature was extremely easy to manage around our cat's changing food needs. I would highly recommend using the service if it applies to you and your cat.

Diet Soft Food
By RagdollLady on Oct 17, 2020
When my Vet told me I needed to switch to prescription soft food, my heart dropped. My cat is Particular so I was afraid he wouldn’t like a diet food, but I was wrong. He loves it, even my other cat not on special diet loves it. I have to feed them separate or else she will eat his diet food. I recommend this food for sure.

Recommended by Vet
By Chris on Oct 19, 2020
My BOO was recently diagnosed with diabetes and this food was recommended by his vet. Unfortunately he won't eat a whole can in a sitting. So I have to refrigerated it. The main reason I didn't give 5 stars is he won't touch it once it has been refrigerated. I think it should come in smaller cans.

Good buy. My cat loves it
By Idontknowwhat2nameit on Aug 22, 2020
My diabetic cat loves it. I have it on auto ship so i save a few bucks. Make sure to “fork” and mix thoroughly so that all the food gets moist. It has a paté consistency. I’ve had a few cans come spoiled because the cans were damaged (probably at the packaging stage, because the chewy box was perfect) i just sent chewy an email and they refunded me the price of the damaged cans. No hassle. Thanks chewy!
