Kittens: If your cat is under 1 year of age, consult your veterinarian for the proper amount to feed.
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% |

Do NOT buy
By Regretful on Oct 14, 2020
My two sibling cats have GI issues and the male has an intolerance of fish flesh that severely restricts my food choice. In addition, my vet recommends limited ingredient food to help with vomiting. The canned Purina Pro Plan EN helps with the vomiting but the amount I would normally feed no longer satisfies their appetites, plus they eat it reluctantly. I purchased the kibble hoping they could eat it too as the canned food is so expensive. (Not sure why as the ingredients are in my opinion poor quality and they regularly vomit undigested rice.) I bought the kibble to try to supplement the canned -- to satisfy their appetites and save money.

I bought the kibble to try to supplement the canned -- to satisfy their appetites and save money. The dry food made my one cat vomit every day it was fed to him. I see this same comment in other reviews. Heed it. Will have to increase the amount of canned food fed rather than use the kibble. A financial strain but feeding my cat food that causes the problem it is supposed to solve is not acceptable. As the saying goes I would give this food zero stars but it is not possible. … more

Made my cats vomiting worse
By Sick on Sep 12, 2020
I bought this because my cat has a sensitive stomach and he vomits a lot. This food somehow made the vomiting worse, he is now vomiting every single day within minutes after eating. I spent extra money going to the vet and buying this food only for it to make my cat vomit more frequently, I want my money back.

vet prescribed
By ceeeee on Sep 18, 2020
This food is very expensive. My cat had abdominal surgery and the vet said he needed this food for two months. I am glad it is only two months as he doesn't like it and it costs a fortune.

Sever Manx Syndrome Solution
By BabyPoo on May 20, 2020
My 2 year old cat has Severe Manx Syndrome making him bladder and bowel incontinent. When he was having massive issues with his bowels his internal specialist prescribed this for us and it worked wonders correcting his system. It made such a difference in him that we continue him on it daily and have not had one issue since beginning this. He loves the taste of it and I have to watch to keep my "normal" cats out of it. I highly recommend this food for anyone that is having gastric / bowel issues. Although manx syndrome cats do better on an all wet diet, a little scoop of this each night fills him up and makes him very satisfied.

really helped our kitty’s bowels
By nemo on Apr 8, 2020
One of our cat’s appears to have an IBD (we still don’t know for sure). We spent hundreds on testing and medicines for her. After trying this food for a month (along with the canned version) it has done wonders for her GI tract. Her stools are mostly solid and not nearly as stinky as they were before. Most importantly she loves it and seems healthier and happier. We plan to keep her on this long term. Just wish it wasn’t so pricey. However, do keep in mind that the portions are smaller since it is so calorie dense and high in protein so I guess that helps. If your kitty is having a lot of GI issues, give this a shot!
