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.

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% |

Excellent food
By Lisa on Feb 17, 2021
I have an elderly cat who has been steadily losing weight and vomiting almost daily. Her fur was rough, oily looking, she was so very thin. Her vet recommended this food and she has been eating it for about a month. She is also taking prednisolone, and I’m sure that’s helping. But with this food, she can eat all she wants, and has not vomited once. So happy to see her eat, enjoy her food, keep it down. She’s gained her weight back, smooth soft fur, bright eyes. She will stay on this food.

Both my cats LOVE it
By OSPR on Jan 30, 2021
One of my cats in particular (a senior with only two teeth left) adores this food. In 17 years, I've never seen him go so crazy for food. Both of my cats have IBD, and I was feeding the wet and dry Hill's ID, but one of my cats developed a weight problem and very high triglycerides. Finding a food that has a lower fat content and is hydrolyzed is very difficult, esp for wet food. So far both cats have done great. I know this isn't a diet food, but it does have lower fat compared to Hill's ID. However, I really miss the velcro closure on the Hill's food. This Purina food requires you to either roll the bag and use chip clips or put it in a food safe container. For the price, Purina could fix this One of my cats in particular (a senior with only two teeth left) adores this food. In 17 years, I've never seen him go so crazy for food.

The Cats' Meow - 4 Paws Up
By Supermax on Feb 12, 2021
We are beyond delighted with the exceptional customer service and lightning-fast delivery (even with the extra time needed to provide vet approval). Your company should give a master class in communication and professionalism to the industry. Our cats, Ziggy and Zoe, give you 4 paws up and are having a ball playing in the cardboard delivery box. Who knew Chewy includes cat recreational toys with each order? A most positive recommendation from all of us.

Kind of expensive but worked for my cat with stomach issues
By Sansa on Mar 4, 2021
My cat Sansa has a very picky stomach and was throwing up a lot, it got to be several times a day, so my vet prescribed this food. She hasn't been throwing up her food at all anymore (except when she is naughty and steals our food when we look away for a second!) It's a bummer that it costs so much though - worth it for our little baby, of course.

Cat says "no way"
By RescuedIsMyFavoriteBreed on Jan 19, 2021
Out of all the hydrolyzed protein foods I recently purchased for my IBD girl, this one was received the worst. She is extremely picky so it may not be the food's fault, but she at least tried a bite of the Royal Canin and Z/D before refusing to touch them again. This one she actually hissed at, even when mixed with her favorite old foods and bits of low sodium unprocessed deli turkey (her snack of choice) AND dosed with an appetite stimulant. Returning the bag.

Did Not Help
By GEWC on Jan 15, 2021
On the advice of our vet I began feeding this to our 19 year old girl who had begun to have explosive litterbox issues. She does like it but after two months on this food (as well as prescription medications) the has been no change. Things continue to be loose and foul smelling. Cannot justify the expense when none of the other seven will eat it.

By Mittens on Feb 17, 2021
