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% |

Kept my cat off insulin, hope it will prevent issues with another
By Jessica on Feb 16, 2021
I've been buying this cat food for about 5-6 years now. It was prescribed for Cedric who had been diagnosed with diabetes, along with insulin shots, at the age of 14. Telling my story in case it helps others struggling with what to do. I tried the insulin shots for a few weeks, but Cedric really fought me with them. It stressed him out, it stressed me out. As a divorced woman I didn't have anyone to help with the process two times a day. (And Cedric was a biter, 'nuff said). So I made the difficult decision to end the insulin shots and I expected he wouldn't be with me much longer. I was devastated and felt like I was giving up on him. But thanks to this diet, he kept going for nearly two I've been buying this cat food for about 5-6 years now.

So I made the difficult decision to end the insulin shots and I expected he wouldn't be with me much longer. I was devastated and felt like I was giving up on him. But thanks to this diet, he kept going for nearly two years. It didn't cure him, but it managed the symptoms well enough. He was happy and playful and full of purrs until the end. He still had quality of life, and so did I. Even though Cedric has passed, I have kept my other cat, Django, on the same food (I couldn't find a good way to separate their diet, so he went on it too). After two cats with kidney issues, I'm hopeful this is the secret to avoiding it with my 3rd. My vet really opened my eyes to the danger of dry food and free feeding with cats. Django is now 8 and has maintained a great weight, beautiful fur & teeth, healthy bowels and urination. His breath doesn't smell like other cats often do. He's not a water drinker, either, but I add a few spoonfuls of water to the food every time I feed him to help keep him hydrated. He loves the food and has never tired of it. Licks the bowl clean every time. And Chewy is amazing. Service is always great, they made the prescription process easy. Lovely company of people who care, IMO. One time, they even called to let me know about fraud with my account, well before it was noticed by Chase. … more

He likes it, but needs more flavors
By Kitty on Jan 31, 2021
Being a diabetic cat, this cat food was recommended by my veterinarian. I was just hoping he would like it, considering the cost of it. He does really like it, although it would be nice if it was offered in more flavors. It would be nice to know of a non-prescription canned/dry cat food that I could give him and it would have the same benefits without the high cost of the prescription. Any recommendations would be welcomed.

My cat loves it!
By Sandy on Mar 2, 2021
I was heart broken to learn my cat was diabetic. This cat food was recommended by my vet. But my cat has always been an extremely fussy eater, so I was afraid she wouldn't touch it. But....big surprise! She loves it and it's really helping with her diabetic issues.

Fantasticly Easy
By WillCath on Feb 27, 2021
I am very happy with my order of a 'special diet' prescription formula food for my cat. This product is hard to find in local pet food stores and I am sorry I waited so long to purchase through Chewy. The price is great and comes right to my door so quickly.

DM Canned cat food
By Tillie on Jan 27, 2021
My 12 year old cat was just diagnosed with diabetes. Our vet recommended the Purina DM canned cat food. So far, he’s eating it and liking it. I’m sure this is part of the reason he is doing soo much better and blood sugar is back to normal, in a very short time frame. Thank you for the great price!

Works for Our 9 Yr Old Panther
By Beena on Nov 29, 2020
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.

Hard to say
By MLC116 on Jan 22, 2021
My review isn’t high because my cat is not pleased with it. I have been mixing it in with the pro plan tuna- he loves that. He will eat it begrudgingly with the other food mixed in. This is a great choice for diabetic cats- if they will eat it
