Purina Pro Plan Veterinary Diets HA Hydrolyzed Formula Dry Cat Food

I had been feeding my cat Royal Canin Hydolized Protein food since he was diagnosed a couple of years ago. Recently, I got a notice from Chewy that the food was no longer available. They recommended substitutes. This was one of them. My vet approved, so I ordered it. I was worried about changing foods, so I mixed a little in with his old food. It was the first time he’d ever eaten all the dry food! I fed it to him without mixing and it’s already gone! Woohoo!!

Seems there is a quality check issue at their plant. Or, maybe Chewy has older stock. My cat likes to CRUNCH her dry food when she eats. The most recent bag delivered had such tiny pieces throughout, I throw away half of every scoop I give her. She just leaves it in the bowl, and begs for more. The food looked as though it came off the end of the production line as they were cleaning. Last year, I purchased this same food direct from Purina, through my veterinary clinic. The quality of the food was similar in two of the six shipments. I had hoped the quality of production had been corrected by now.

We got this as a replacement when what we usually get wasn't available. Our cats are picky eaters, at times, and are still not sure about this. I don't think they like the taste... or maybe it is the size of the crunchies being smaller. They do eat it eventually, as it is all they get, but they are still skeptical.

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.

Only one of our two cats needs this formula but both the girls eat and their responses have been the same, is there anything else? We have had the food for several weeks now and their reaction has not changed, they eat a little occasionally but not much, we have moved onto wet food and are looking for another dry formula.

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.

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.

When Chewy told me my Royal Canin Hydrolyzed Protein was out of stock, I tried Purina HA Hydrolyzed Formula. My cats would pick it out of the bowl and leave it on the floor. Thank goodness the Royal Canin came back in stock!

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.

this food really is a blessing for my senior cat. She vomits her food quite a bit and this hydrolyzed protein really is effective in managing GI issues. the minute i add a canned food unfortunately it is back to vomiting . this food works well
