Food sensitive cats can benefit from Purina Pro Plan Veterinary Diets HA Hypoallergenic Feline Formula, a unique cat food that features simple proteins and low-allergen carbohydrates designed to minimize the risk of food allergic reactions. It offers dietary benefits that provide optimal nutrition while meeting your adult cat’s or growing kitten’s special needs.
Key Benefits- Food sensitivities generally appear in pets as gastrointestinal upset and/or intense scratching or itching. It can develop at any life stage, even after eating the same food for years without problems. Purina Pro Plan Veterinary Diets HA has been specifically formulated to help manage food sensitivities with a single protein source.
- The single, hydrolyzed protein source is highly digestible for optimum nutrient absorption. Hydrolyzing means that the protein has been broken down into smaller components, specifically an average molecular weight below 12,200 daltons. Because of this, it's less likely to cause a negative response in your food-sensitive cat.
- A single, low allergen carbohydrate source is included to minimize the risk of food related reactions. It's a source of Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCTs) which don't require energy for absorption, use, or storage.
- Suited for cats that have food allergic gastroenteritis or dermatitis, food intolerance, inflammatory bowel disease, or pancreatitis.
- Made in the USA!
Use only as directed by your veterinarian. Product not intended for ruminants or livestock.

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% |

Abby Approved!
By Abby on Nov 7, 2021
My cat Abby is currently on a food trial as my vet suspects she may have a possible food allergy. My vet first recommended Science Diet Z/D which Abby ate but didn't seem to like it that much and didn't seem as eager to eat like she did before the food trial. My vet suggested I try the Pro Plan HA. I was skeptical whether or not Abby would like it as she can be a bit of a picky eater. As soon as it hit her bowl, Abby chowed it down! Im happy to see her back to being the eager eater she used to be. Hopefully it remedies her allergy symptoms. Only time will tell but at least I found a hypoallergenic food she likes!

Good for allergies
By Dany on Nov 1, 2021
Earlier this year when I took my cat to the vet, thinking she contracted some kind of illness, the vet informed me that my cat has a sensitive stomach and has been having an allergic reaction to her food. Switched her over to this food and she really enjoys it, her coat is much healthier, she gets less fur balls, and overall seems healthier/happier. The only downside is I don't think it keeps her full long enough, she's lost some weight since I've been feeding her at the suggested amount and she begs for food more often than before. If you have a kitty who's a bit of a foodie, you might want to either feed them a little more than suggested or add in a suitable wet food to their diet. tl;dr Earlier this year when I took my cat to the vet, thinking she contracted some kind of illness, the vet informed me that my cat has a sensitive stomach and has been having an allergic reaction to her food.

Good for food allergies
By Shiloh on Sep 18, 2021
This diet is great for cats who have food allergies, unfortunately this did not work for my personal cat- as it looks like his allergies are related to something else. However, I work in a shelter and we offer HA to cats and it has worked great for those who have allergies or sensitivities to food, so I do recommend it. Hopefully down the line they will make a wet food version of this as it does tend to pack on the weight for the cats, so feed carefully.

Too soon to tell
By Tank on Oct 14, 2021
After all the bloodwork and stool samples came back negative, My vet says Tank might have an allergy to certain foods. The vet recommended this food. It has helped some to firm up his terribly loose diarrhea. It is still too soon to tell if this is the answer.

My guys noms
By Shay on Aug 22, 2021
I have 3 male cats ages 2-6. They all eat this brand now and they all seem to love it. One of my boys needed to switch over from Purina to this brand due to a food allergy eating Purina. It wasnt just that brand though, he is allergic to all cat foods. It was difficult thinking Id allow just the one to eat healthier than the others, so I decided to let them all eat it. Initially, I was concerned mostly about how quickly they would go through the food and how expensive it would end up being as this food is not cheap! Given the high protein content, they all seem to stay satisfied longer and actually eat less of this food and less than the other brands.

Annie loves this new food - she gets a scoop in the AM and one in the PM. No more vomiting. She's putting the weight back on. Thank God.

Where is this food?
By Gabbytabby on Oct 11, 2021
Apparently this will just sit in Texas instead of getting anywhere near here. I can't wait till the vet forces me to overdraw my bank account and buy it from them. It'll be great

Great quality
By Robin on Aug 24, 2021
The answer to a long awaited prayer. Lauren a main coon mix has developed food allergies at 7 years old and after trying multiple foods with no success, our vet prescribed this and It's working. We have 3 cats , 2 others are tabbys, and they are all eating it. So glad to have the right diet for our kitties. Ty chewy for getting it to me so quickly.

I love this food
By FuzzyBear on Aug 16, 2021
My human tried to feed me some off-the-shelf limited ingredient kibble. It tasted terrible, and I started losing my hair again. This stuff is DELICIOUS, and I'm feeling much better, so I actually like to hang around the house and get good massages and hugs. The jury is out whether it will help my hair grow back thick and soft, but I sure feel better!
