What is the main difference between the Early and Advanced Care
Answer by ChewyNov 10, 2019
Purina Pro Plan Veterinary Diets NF Early Care is specially formulated to support feline kidney health. Purina Pro Plan Veterinary Diets NF Advanced Care has been specifically formulated to minimize the sign of kidney failure and help slow the progression of the disease.

my cat is elderly...20 years old... with difficulty chewing but won't do moist food...what size are the NF Kidney Function dry kibbles?
Answer by ChewyOct 29, 2018
This kibble is small, flat, and round in shape. Because this kibble is extruded, it does not have specific dimensions and will vary slightly in size.

Is it ok for my healthy cat to share this with my cat with ckd? I have a hard time feeding them different foods, they always like the other better.
Answer by ChewyOct 17, 2020
We do not recommend feeding your healthy cat the Purina Pro Plan Veterinary Diets NF Kidney Function Early Care Formula Dry Cat Food.

What kind of flavor does NF Early Care dry food have?
Answer by ChewyAug 25, 2018

Senior cat recently diagnosed with kidney disease. We got lucky and she's happily eating this brand. Not usually picky, but she refused Royal Canin. Only issue is the size of the bags. I'd rather not risk spending minimum $30 on food my cat won't eat that I can't do anything with.

He loves it!

Our super picky cat really loves this dry food. He has kidney problems so has to be on a prescription diet for life. We were so worried he wouldn't eat it but he likes it better than the treats he can no longer have!

Kidney food

The vet warned me that a lot of the time cats don’t like their kidney food. My cat loved it and in fact prefers it over her previous dry food. Her barfing has greatly improved.

My picky cat loves it!!

My baby has kidney disease and kept vomiting up her Rx diet. My vet told me to try this one and she loves it!! So far she is tolerating it well and can’t wait to wake me up in the morning so I can refill her bowl!

Disappointed

My 17-year old cat has been put on a kidney diet by my vet. I ordered this NF formula food based on reviews that mainly said "even my fussy cat will eat it". My cat is also fussy and won't even go near this food - so I guess I just wasted $30+ and will throw it out since the bag is opened and I cannot donate it. Really wish my cat would eat this dry food but she will not.

Elder cat care

This Purina Kidney Function Early Care dry cat food was recommended by our veterinarian for our 12 year old male cat whose annual check-up indicated elevated protein levels in his urine. It's been an adjustment in his eating pattern but he seems to be doing well.

Cat says yes

Currently the only renal dry food my cat will accept. Scared to jinx it by writing a review. The kibble is smaller/thinner than some of the other renal dry foods, which is good for my guy with poor dentition. Also appreciate that the bags come in slightly smaller amount (3 lbs vs. 4 lbs or more with other brands). Still would be nice if companies offered 1lb bags. Small gripe because this bag doesn't have a zip top, but it fits in a gallon freezer ziploc bag, so not a big deal.

Chewy is the best!

My two cats are both 16 years old and slowing down and their bloodwork shows the have elevated kidney function results. Doc put them on the Pro Plan NF food. We really were not expecting them to eat this food because they went hungry when we tried to introduce other RX food in the past. We are only up to a 25/75 ratio of Wellness Core (25) and the Pro Plan, but they are eating the RX food (wet and dry) and have been enjoying it.
