Purina Pro Plan Veterinary Diets NF Kidney Function Advanced Care Formula Canned Cat Food, 5.5-oz, case of 24

They won’t say actual % phosphorus, only Minimum, and at .12%, that is higher than some none ckd foods (including Purinas other foods). High moisture is really important in ckd cat food, since most cats won’t drink much water, and this is only 77%, lower than many non prescription foods. It even looks dry to me. You certainly cannot syringe feed a sick cat with this dry stuff. My cats like gravy based foods and hate this dry stuff. Since ckd cats desperately need to eat (any wet food is better than nothing) I honestly don’t know why anyone would feed it to their ckd cat. Save your money, check the nutrition, and buy the wettest, lowest Phosphorus cat food chewy has.

Kudos to Chewy, a tiny step in overcoming the misinformation that the cat food manufacturers are giving us about their overpriced pseudo prescription food. … more

If Chewy allowed half stars, this would actually be a 2.5-star rating. My cats are underwhelmed by this food when I feed it to them by itself. I have had success getting them to eat it by mixing half a can with a 3 oz can of some other non-renal diet food they really like. I hope this will make it possible to finish the case. It partly defeats the point of feeding them the renal diet, but at least I'm getting them to eat SOME diet food. (I learned with my last cat who died of kidney failure that if you can't get them to eat period, it'll make their decline worse.) Will I buy this again? I'm genuinely not sure. There are still some brands/formulations of renal diet food I haven't tried. If I can If Chewy allowed half stars, this would actually be a 2.5-star rating.

This is the fourth cat food that I have bought and tried for my 15 year old cat who has chronic kidney disease. I have discovered that he does not like paté, and prefers chunks, but it was unclear if Purina Pro Plan Kidney Function was paté. Usually he will lick and walk away. This he would not even do that. So, I wasted $50 on a box of 24, after opening two cans that he will not touch. So, I need to stick to the Royal Canine chunks, the only one he will eat.

So Hoover, aka the “picky eater” now has kidney failure - early stages, but he needs a kidney-support diet. He doesn’t like Hills k/d, but he truly hates the Purina and refuses to even approach the bowl. Too bad, because he also doesn’t like eating the same thing every day. So I’ll find a shelter that needs this stuff and go back to Hills.

All of my indoor 5 cats, the feral cats outside, the raccoons, skunks AND possums hate this food. They will not touch it. The sad thing is I bought a whole case of this stuff.... Don't waste your money!

I like this patte over the last one i just had. The original one i bought is no longer available so i tried the same brand of another canned food i use along side the patte. Not very good. I didnt like it for my cat. he ate it but after some time ate it less and less. I got this one instead in my next shipment and its awesome. Its more of a stiffer consistency than that of the last. And my cat loves it! Please dont stop making this

The furkids are happy with Hill's KD dry, but turn their nose up at the wet. One cat came to us with bad teeth. After a trip to the dentist, he has about three teeth left. He really needed wet food, but wouldn't eat the KD wet. Our vet suggested a different brand. ProPlan NF so far is a winner. All of them like it.

My cat was diagnosed with high protein numbers so the vet put him on a special diet. They put him on hills cd and he ate it at first then he got where he would not eat a bite of it. I read other reviews about Purina advanced kidney and decided to try it. My cat is eating the wet and dry in this. I am so happy to finally find something he will eat. I am impressed with this food so far.

My 11+ year old cat who is a VERY picky eater loves this food! In the past, we struggled to choose over what she will eat that does not address her medical needs, or force her to eat prescribed food that she may or may not eat for days. Now we don't have to worry about her refusing to eat for days!

Was highly skeptical based on my feline's specific dining preferences. Fears were unjustified as (of this writing) as my old man likes the taste and cleans his plate. Also like the texture of the food and its' consistency. Very little mess to clean up after the dining experience. Will purchase again!
