Do you have a return policy if my cat won't eat it

Answer by TinaOct 28, 2025
Chewy has a great return policy! Even if they won't eat it. I just recently had to return partial cases my girl stopped eating.

Are these cans/can liners BPA free?


One of my cats was just prescribed NF kidney function early carecat food. She is 12 years old. Can my other cat who is 5 years old also eat this food as I’m finding it hard to separate and feed two kinds of food% pls advise If my male 5 year old cat can eat NF early care food as a healthy diet% thx

Answer by ChewySep 26, 2018
This food is specially formulated to address medical concerns and requires a prescription. It is not recommended to feed this to a pet who the food is not prescribed for.

What is the consistency of this product? Is it pate, or does it have chunks?

Answer by ChewyOct 01, 2018
This texture of this canned food is pate.

Poppy and I have been through the worst of times and the best. He's our Mr Congeniality cat. He has welcomed and befriended all the other 14 cats we have left. When I nearly died this summer, after being in the hospital for 9 days he had given up on ever seeing me again and went into depression, but when I came home unable to do much of anything by myself, he took it upon himself to be my care taker and guardian. When the nurse came in to check on me he was right there watching very closely until 3 months later I could walk again. Now it's my turn to care for him like that. With the beginning stages of kidney failure I am willing to try anything and everything to get him well again. That brings me to the Purina NF special Rx food. Sadly he took 2 licks and refused to touch it again. I tried 3 more times but no matter what I did he wouldn't touch it. I will try Hills Science NF and see if that tastes any better to him.eamwhole I'm praying hard for my 16 yr old yellow and white best buddy, Poppy to get better in spite of all this. I must do my very best to take of him now. I owe that to him.

Tried Hills brand kd different flavors. Tuna had too much phosphorous and my cat threw up and finally tried this and my cat likes it and can tolerate it. It wasnt too different from the Purina Proplan urinary tract support turkey flavor that she was used to.

Not palatable for my guy

I was excited when I opened the first can and my guy gobbled this up. It must have been a fluke because subsequent tries were not the same. He and my other 4 cats

I was excited when I opened the first can and my guy gobbled this up. It must have been a fluke because subsequent tries were not the same. He and my other 4 cats sniffed and licked a bit but would walk away. I tried a couple other cans with the same results. Many others have had a lot of success with this so if your cat is diagnosed, it’s worth a shot. Chewy is really great to work with and I am able to return the unused cans.

The texture of the food is nice.

The can food may be fine for other cats but Brownie would not eat it. So Chewy was kind to refund my money and the food will be donated to a shelter. Thank you.

Cat must eat prescribed diet.

She will generally eat the entire can overnight, but she prefers the non prescription cat food. She won't eat most Rx foods, so this is a small victory!

Nugget has renal dysplasia and functions with one enlarged kidney. Just a year and a half old and was eating well. Slowly introduced NF to her as she was currently eating another prescription food. She was fine at first but now eats only a few mouthfuls and appears uninterested in finishing her food.

Our cat was recently diagnosed as PKD and we were overwhelmed with all of the different food options and how much she might like them or not. We tried Purina Pro first and she has been obsessed! Only thing to note is that this did cause some stomach upset at first while she was transitioning onto the new food but all good now!
