Purina Pro Plan Veterinary Diets NF Kidney Function Advanced Care Formula Dry Cat Food

After trying several of the "premium" kidney foods, I tried the Purina Pro Advanced Care - my two cats went face down in this food - a refreshing change from their pickiness over the other products. Alas, this joy didn' t last all that long - maybe a week? before they once again decided that kidney food is not the best. Nevrtheless, we are making progress - they particularly like the dry Purina Pro NF Advanced, although not as much as they did the first week.

I was very excited to see my boy with kidney disease dig into this when I first put it out, since he refuses to eat any of the other brands of prescription kidney food. Next day, he ate a smaller amount. Day after that, not so much. I will continue to give it to him, hoping he will get used to it. At least I tried!

My Molly is 17 years old and was diagnosed with kidney disease last year when she went in to get a dental due to an abscessed tooth. We ended up getting optional blood work and thank GOODNESS we did because she had heart and kidney disease and should NOT be put under. The food our vet gave us did NOT please her and so we had to try something else. She likes this food well enough, however, and seems to be eating it well enough despite not having good teeth. I wish she would eat wet kidney food, but this is the best we can get her to eat, so it'll do! She's always been very picky and even at times has stopped eating a particular food because she's sick of it, but she's still eating this after 10 My Molly is 17 years old and was diagnosed with kidney disease last year when she went in to get a dental due to an abscessed tooth.

My Deedles was recently diagnosed with Kidney problems and my vet prescribed the Purina Renal. I am supposed to mix meds with the food but she won't go near it and my other cat isn't even curious enough about it to give it a sniff. I will have to get another prescription to try something else. Very disappointed.

Due to her health conditions, I had to change her formula. The Dr. said it might take time for her to adjust to it. She loved it immediately.

My cat was recently diagnosed with Stage 2 chronic kidney disease and was losing weight quickly. He was an increasingly picky eater, but actually seeks out this kibble! He currently eats mostly wet food, but acts like this kibble is a treat! He is gaining weight now and doing well. My only qualms are that 1) Purina is owned by Nestlé, whom I try to avoid because they are such a big plastic polluter and 2) as with most pet products, there is no plastic-free option to get the product. I hope that if I say that enough on these reviews then just maybe we might start to see more truly sustainable options for pet care.

After my 15 yr old cat, Snickers, was diagnosed with kidney issues and needed to be on a prescription diet, the first prescription food I tried was the Hill's science diet. Their products are good as I used one of their prescription foods for my dog in previous years and it worked great. BUT, my cat would not touch the Science Diet KD dry food. She would barely eat the wet food. I was really worried but then decided to try the Purina Pro Plan NF Kidney food and she LOVED it. Even my other cat eats it as well. Problem solved. All cats are different and picky so if you need a kidney prescription food, be sure to try this one!

My cat had been diagnosed with kidney issues & I wanted to find a dry food to supplement the canned diet. Tried 2 other brands of dry and he wouldn't eat either. This was a last try and success! He likes it and I'm happy.

I tried 2 other brands of dry kidney food for my 17 year old cat. We had to really doctor them up to get her to even be interested. Then I found out that Purina makes a kidney diet dry food. As soon as we put it in the dish, she went for it, and now eats it freely whenever she wants. I wish I had tried this brand first!

My CKD cat would not eat this but I am sure its a cat preference not the product. My holistic vet online said do not give CKD cats kibbles they need all the moisture they can get so he highly recommended Wellness low protein 10% and high water content 78% canned wet food. This was an excellent switch for all my senior cats.
