Purina Pro Plan Veterinary Diets DM Savory Selects Dietetic Management Formula Canned Cat Food, 5.5-oz, case of 24

My 9 yr old Bombay kitty was recently diagnosed with diabetes. This was a definite kick to the gut for us and a wake up call as to what we're feeding our babies. The price on this is high and to be honest, we can't afford it without doing creative things with money. This is why the 4 instead of 5 stars. As for taste, our guy cleans the bowl and asks for more. Even our tuxedo, who's also a bit overweight, prefers this to her food. So the taste gets 4 paws up! If you're in a financial situation like us, compare the macro content of this food with some others (crude protein, fat, etc.) and you can find a comparable food. Even my vet co-signed that option.

With a troubled heart, I declined the insulin injections for my cat who was newly diagnosed with diabetes, and decided to start feeding him DM prescription food first — in hope to see positive dynamics. It’s too early to report the results— tiny changes in my cat’s behavior can’t prove much — but what’s obvious is he absolutely loves this new food, licking the bowl clean in one shot. Surprisingly, he loves the dry food of the same brand as well— little less than the savory canned, and yet this is the first dry food that he ate straight without hesitation. The only trouble I have with this Purina brand now is to stay within the guidelines of certain amount— the cat would eat much more helpings With a troubled heart, I declined the insulin injections for my cat who was newly diagnosed with diabetes, and decided to start feeding him DM prescription food first — in hope to see positive dynamics.

My kitty eats it sometimes, and sometimes he does not. I offer at 7 am then 7 pm each day. Sometimes he only licks the gravy. If he only licks the gravy, I make sure he eats some dry formula. If the cat hasn't eaten, the insulin shot will be no good!

My cat loves this food, but I wish it had more gravy in it because she has one tooth left and seems to do better with her food when I add some water to it.

My Sunshine had to get used to this food as she is very finicky but loves the ProPlan brand. Some days she’ll eat it up and some days there’s plenty left over. I did have a few cans that came very damaged and burst open but when I called Chewy I wasn’t offered a refund or replacement. This food is way too expensive to let go to waste.

I purchased the savory selects for my recently diagnosed diabetic cat as he would not eat the pate style. He ate it with gusto for two days then would not touch it . I think he got wise. My vet gave me the OK to go back to his former food as calories were of the essence at this point. He will eat the dry food, however, so I will continue to order that. I would recommend this food for the cat that will eat it. Mine just won't.

Our veterinarian recommended this diabetic formula for our cat Romeo and he absolutely loves it. Would recommend trying to others.

Our Vet prescribed this food for our cat that was recently diagnosed with diabetes. He will not eat it either alone or mixed with food he used to like. His appetite has gone down which may be a result of the new insulin injections. He will still nibble a little on some other foods, but not DM or DM mixed with something else. On the other hand, our other healthy cat loves it when she can sneak some. We have to make sure we pick it up so she won't steal any. This cat eats all canned cat food.

My parents’ cat, Goober, was recently diagnosed with diabetes. This meant a complete diet change. No more of his favorite canned food or snacks of any kind. We are quite relieved Goober thoroughly enjoys Purina’s DM Savory Selects. His Bgl levels are slowly coming down.

My 15 year old cat was recently diagnosed with diabetes (caused by taking steroids) so the vet put him on this food. I figured he would hate it since it's huge chunks in gravy and he's only ever eaten pate. I was so wrong! He loves this food, as does his 12 year old brother who isn't diabetic. Best of all, his glucose numbers have continued to drop while eating this. Side note - we also stopped feeding dry food, which is horrible for our pets! I will never have it in my house again. Definitely recommend this wet food!
