Helping our senior tortie!
By Shan122588 on Jun 10, 2020
We adopted our Penny at 15, and while I’m not sure that this food is the only thing helping her, I do believe that it’s been a big part of it. We’ve seen her kidney and other numbers improve every single time we take her to the vet. She’s now almost 18 and has better kidneys than she did we we first adopted her! And she gobbles it daily!

Cats won't touch it.....
By Dave on Jun 24, 2020
This dry stuff has no attraction 'smell' & is brittle as heck!!! Cats sniff, nothing, try to chew a kernel, spit it out & walk off!!!!! This is a very expensive "NOTHING" cat dry food...!!!

Food is good
By CatLovers2013 on Jun 29, 2020
Our Cat is 15 years old. She has limited her eating so much. The other 3 cats eat this food also. Force feeding is not pleasant, especially if she throws it all up.

Purina Pro Plan Veterinary Diets NF Kidney Function Advanced Care

Our Cats love it!
By CatDad on Nov 12, 2019
Our 16 yr old male, Buddy is in renal failure. We think that this Purina Pro Plan Vet Diet food is helping him. We haven't noticed much weight gain, but he does seem to be more energetic and playful. Almost kittenlike! We have used Royal Canin and Hills Vet Diet Foods as well, but so far, we think that the Purina Pro Plan is working best. The Royal Canin? Um, not so much, but we will keep on using Hills in addition to the Pro Plan. We have a 3 yr old female too. She is as healthy as she can be, but their Vet said that it is completely safe for her to eat the Vet diet food too. So that way, we do not have to "go through the pain" of trying to feed them separately.

Kept my Zoe alive in her last two years (she was 24)
By Jennywren on Dec 3, 2019
This formulation, along with wet, kept my Zoe alive; she went to heaven after two years of holding status quo on her kidney failure, she lost her life to a tumor, not the kidney disease and I believe this food, along with wet kidney problem food, was very likely the reason her kidneys stayed good for so long.

My cat loved it!
By Mouse on Oct 4, 2019
I’ve tried another brand of kidney disease cat food and my cat started not eating her food. I started to panic because she really needed this type of food. I found this one online and looked for it in my local pet store but they didn’t have it. I saw chewy had it so I ordered it and as soon as I opened it and poured it in my cat’s dish my cat immediately started eating her food and she hasn’t stopped eating this food. Thank you Chewy for carrying this food you saved my cat’s life! I definitely will be back to buy more from here. This was also shipped really fast.

My kitty doesn't like it.
By AllyCat on Nov 13, 2019
This was the second kidney care food i tried. After reading numerous articles on kidney care for cats it says to feed them the canned food so I'm trying that next. Hoping my kitty will like it. Its just to bad this food was expensive!

Good product! Vet approved.
By CatMommy on Aug 23, 2019
This renal food is well tolerated by my 16 1/2 year old male cat with renal issues. He has been on Purina Cat Chow Gentle for many years. I tried another brand recommended by my vet first and my poor old cat had a violent reaction to it and was extremely sick. The Purina Pro Plan works great for him and he is no longer sick. His appetite is better, but not great. Due to the renal issues he will eat less and never gain back the significant weight he has lost already. I smelled the Pro Plan food and could not tell the difference from the Cat Chow Gentle he was on. Try to keep your cat on the same producer of food, if you can, to avoid future digestive issues.

Just What the Doctor Ordered
By Teamjj on Nov 12, 2019
Our old cat now needs special diets for her kidney ailments and this fills the bill. Thanks so much to Chewy for contacting our vet to make this happen.
