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% |

My cat likes
By ZorasMommy on Mar 19, 2021
Our vet recommended this food for my 6 month old kitten who has upper respiratory infection, coccidia and giardia. Poor thing had very loose stools and was a bit picky when it came to food. (But she loves her wet food, but still picky). Switching her over to this was easy. She took to it very well and loves the flavor (and the rice inside!). It stopped her runny poops. We purchased the wet and dry food. Only negative is out of 24 cans, 4 were horribly dented. This was not ideal as this is prescription food that’s EXPENSIVE! Chewy sent me a new case to make up for it, but the new case had 5 dented cans! I just wish the people in the warehouse were more careful with our babies products.

So far so good
By Catdad on Mar 26, 2021
I was worried my boy cat wouldn't eat this since it's part of a veterinary diet line. I'm glad to say he's taken a liking to both the wet and dry food. He was admitted to the hospital for two days and I was told it was pancreatitis and liver enzymes were elevated. I hope this food helps regulate and treat his stomach issues. He is staring at me as I write this, it's like he knows I'm talking about him. Lol

Cat approved
By Gitte on Mar 29, 2021
My super picky cat rejected 2 other brands, so I honestly didn’t think she would eat this. She has been on this diet for a few weeks, and so far so good. Her digestive issues are not completely resolved, but things have improved a bit. I wish they would make smaller cans as it takes her a few days to finish a can.

my cat likes the taste
By netgalaxy on Mar 18, 2021
My cat hates Hills brand wont touch it this was the first time (and many dollars later) he ate and continued to eat any prescription food. He has been on urinary pro plan (this was their non-prescription type canned food)since he wouldn’t eat the prescription hills and has urinary crystals and then developed stomach issues. Im so glad i discovered this brand! This helps with both!

Vomiting all the time
By Wicca on Mar 27, 2021
Our cat Wicca was constantly vomiting. Not just hair balls but, this yellowish brown soupy liquid. It had a very foul odor. After several visits to the vet and recommendations this is the only thing that helps keep his tummy full and settled. We also use their dry food.

Great for Digestive Issues!
By GWALK on Mar 15, 2021
ProPlan EN is amazing for those animals with digestive issues! It is the only kind my cat Cali can keep down. Although it has to have a prescription from your clinic/pet hospital, it is worth spending a little extra knowing your pet's tummy is settled and your carpets stay clean!

Game Changer
By Alpacadoc on Jan 16, 2021
For years my barn cat was scrawny and had smelly diarrhea--all over the floor, the hay, wherever. I tried multiple good diets--some would help for a few weeks, then the diarrhea would return. Fecal exams negative. My farm vet suggested that she might have inflammatory bowel disease and might benefit from a prescription diet. This was a GAME CHANGER!! She devoured the wet and dry food and the diarrhea disappeared. Just one fat "log", no odor, twice a day. She gained weight and was happier and more active than she had been 4 years earlier. Sadly, she died at age 14 from an infection, but her last 6 months were definitely her best!

Wish it had more liquid
By Illkitty on Mar 15, 2021
I wish the cans were smaller so that freshly opened smell came more often. My very ill ( cancer) cat loves the liquid,but doesn't want to eat the very dry food, so almost all of this very expensive food gets thrown away

Fussy Cat Not Best Test
By Barby on Feb 16, 2021
The cat that requires the gastroenteric food does not like it. He does not like any other similar brand either. We tried the food out on our very fat cat and she said it was just fine. So, if a cat likes the food and the food is proper food for the cat, I am certain the product is a fine product.
