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% |

16 y.o. cat on the limb of kidney failure and a heart murmur
By Breanne on Oct 23, 2020
When I first took my cat to the vet a couple of months ago, I wasn't expecting bad news, it was just a check up. She is 16 though, and I found out her kidneys are retaining water and they're on the edge of failure, she also has thyroid problems and has a slight heart murmur. As that news broke my heart and I'm only a college student meaning money isn't on my side.The vet recommended purina nf, I was doubting how much it could truly work. My cat is obviously hurting in some type of way and is losing weight every day, but I was in for a surprise. I went from having a cat that has never played with a toy before or showed interest to her now acting like a kitten and chasing squirrels through the When I first took my cat to the vet a couple of months ago, I wasn't expecting bad news, it was just a check up.

Yum Yum Renal Diet
By KittyMum on Oct 1, 2020
Our kitty is in Renal Failure. One of the big issues is loss of muscle mass and overall weight. Protein is the one substance in cat food that you have to limit. Their usual diet is loaded with Protein. So one of the main makers of pet food include low protein, low ash and low phosphorus. We started him on Hills Renal Diet first to get him heading in the right direction. We alternate with Pro Plan Renal as he likes the flavor of the Pro Plan. Both brands are Veterinarian recommended.

17 year old Cat with Kidney Disease
By Andy on Sep 22, 2020
My old cat was diagnosed with kidney failure two years ago. Tried multiple different kidney diets but they all seemed to upset his stomach. Vet had a few cans of Pro Plan NF to try . From the beginning he really liked it and didn't cause as much stomach upset. With some pectin gel occasionally, he's still with us and seems to love it.

Ronnie & her NF
By Goose on Aug 13, 2020
So far so good. She likes her NF Advanced as long as I mix it with Pro Plan Urinary care and sometimes a little Fancy Feast. She is 16 & 3 months and is doing fine. This is my second case and did not have to discard any of the cans in the last case due to her turning up her nose at it. She is very discerning (i.e.: picky). Shipment was prompt and the price is exactly the same as if I purchased directly from Purina via vet surevice.

Tasty Diet
By BabyGirl on Sep 7, 2020
Kidney Care diets seem to be lacking in the variety we are accustomed to providing our family members. We took a chance on Purina's formulas diet and found a flavor my 20 year old baby devours! Thanks to Purina I can rely on my pets satisfaction and variety.

Our cat wouldn't eat this.
By Kitty on Oct 10, 2020
This was one of three kidney diet foods we tried for our cat. He wouldn't eat any of them. Can't recommend or not recommend.

My cat doesn't like it.
By KMiles on Aug 2, 2020
Unfortunately my senior cat has kidney disease and was prescribed the food, however, she doesn't like it. I mix another senior wet cat food with it that I know she likes but still won't eat much of it. I know other cats that do like it but not mine.

Kitty eats it!
By Babs on Jul 24, 2020
My 12 year old cat with kidney disease eats this food with gusto! But experience tells me he will likely tire of it, as he has tired of all the others. I rotate the different brands in hopes of keeping him interested. So far, so good on this one!

Older cat likes it
By Granny on Aug 3, 2020
My cat had FUS syndrome for years and ate prescription diets which she didn’t care for. Now she’s older and has moved up to this kidney diet which she likes! She is doing very well on this NF, better than ever before.
