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

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!

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.

I found out my cat has kidney disease when the vet called on a Saturday morning. I ordered the food, they called my vet immediately, and the Pro Plan Veterinary Kidney Function Advanced Care arrived on Sunday. And the best part is she actually likes it! It says on the bag it is delicious and I guess it really is.

My little 16 year old calico is in the beginning of kidney failure, she has to be syringe fed the wet food, but she actually eats this dry food on her own. It's worth the price to have her gain her weight back, actually eat well, feel better, start to play again, keep her with me for another couple of years. I'm not well off, the price is a hardship, but Ditto is my fur kid, and worth it. I also use Epakitin, Fortiflora, and give her subcutaneous fluids to flush the things the kidneys have a hard time handling. But she actually eats this food and enjoys it, what a blessing!

I bought this because my older cat hates the Kidney diets that were prescribed. He seems to like dry food so I'm trying this in different ways - adding some to his wet food. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't ~

We tried Hill’s kidney diet first and my girl absolutely refused to eat that so we switched to this. We were already feeding her Purina before we got her diagnosed so we hoped for better luck with this - and we got it!

The chews were not very soft, too hard for my cat to chew & she has all her teeth. Also the chews are larger than the average cat treat.

My picky cat ate a little but that was it. I guess it might work for non-picky cats.
