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% |

Quick Response
By Disappointed on Oct 6, 2020
Was pleased, as usual, with the quick turnaround from Chewy. This was a purchase of a special diet food to try for my cat. She loves the food so that's a recommendation from the cat. Too soon to tell if it's helping with sporadic unexplained vomiting.

Perfect for his allergies
By Maura on Sep 27, 2020
My cat is basically allergic to our state or so the tests show. My vet gave me 5 little sample bags of food and this is the one he eats. He’s eaten it for 5 years now with no problems and a lot less itching!

Cats Diagnosed with IBS
By Michelle65 on Aug 23, 2020
Recently both my cats were diagnosed with IBS. I have been doing a slow which from their current food to the Purina HA diet. They seem to like it. I have not seen the positive FSU;ya to their system as of yet but the vet said it could take a few months.

Allergy Food!
By Petra on Sep 21, 2020
This food has helped my feline so much. The taste hasn’t as much protein as she’s use to, but she’s eating it and hopefully losing a few lbs too!

Finicky cat!
By DEBATTIKITOO on Aug 3, 2020
I read all of the info on this food before I ordered it and I'm pretty sure this is good for my cat, but he doesn't like it for whatever reason. I'm mixing it in with his regular food in hopes he will come around.

Kids love it
By christine on Jul 24, 2020
Didn’t think my kids had a food allergy since their symptoms were different from our previous fur baby and his allergies until we switched them to this food their allergies have slowly decreased and this is the perfect size kibble for them!

Did not live up to expectations.
By GreenPoint on Jun 10, 2020
Our cats did not like the food. They ate some in the beginning and then stopped, so I cannot comment on the performance of the food. Also, the bag does not have a Velcro closing. I transferred the food to jars to keep it fresh and noticed that the kibbles broke down easy and made lots of crumbs, both in the bowls, bag, and jars. I reported all of this to the Vet and she suggested another Rx food.

Seems to help
By Jordan on Sep 4, 2020
My cat's been using this. Took her a while to get used to the taste but she seems to like this now. Her allergies aren't as bad.

Finally, a food that my cat loves and is good for her sensitive tummy!
By Sheba on Jun 2, 2020
I have a 17 y/o girl who is picky with her food. I had tried many hypo allergenic and sensitive stomach/skin food for her and to no avail. Either she did not like it/eat it or it made her puke on the daily. We went ahead and tried this food and voila! No more puking at all and she loves it! It has smaller kibbles too which is great for my old girl to chew and digest as well. My girl and I are happy customers and highly recommend <3

She likes it!
By CatsGalore4 on Jun 10, 2020
This is the 4th hypoallergenic food we've tried for Darling Trudy's food intolerance. She wouldn't touch two brands and the other brand didn't help. Thank goodness she likes this! She's still on steroid shots and cyclosporine, but her hair is growing back. So far, so good. I do wish we could get treats and canned food for variety, though.
