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% |

Cat's love this food.
By peachR on Sep 19, 2020
My vet recommended this after their annual physical. One was chubby and the other a little skinny. This is perfect for the skinny cat that needed to put on a little weight and loves to eat. He can eat more and feel full. My other cat loves food but will often over eat. I find with this food she can eat what she want's and she'll stop when full. I can keep both cats on the same food. I just follow the recommendations for weight maintenance after their weight leveled out. This works great and I don't have to think about it. I tried auto ordering this through my vet and they kept canceling it out of laziness and lack of staff so I gave up on them and started ordering the 16lbs bag from here.

She loves this food
By Jasmine on Aug 20, 2020
I have a typical overweight finicky eating cat. I just started using this food so I don’t know if she’ll actually lose weight. I can tell you she really likes it. I give her a 1/4 cup twice a day and she eats it all. She seems satisfied because she doesn't really bother me for food until her next scheduled feeding. She is a 10 year old black Maine Coon so she is born to be heavy but I'm trying to slim her down.

A cat diet....WHAT?
By Poppy on Oct 14, 2020
My vet recommended this food for my plump kitty. She loves the food but wants more of it........I hope it takes off a few pounds. Keep my paws crossed!

my 22lb older cat has lost 1 1/2 lbs
By Lucy on Aug 29, 2020
The high fiber and protein of this product has reduced her eating significantly. My Vet said she could have 1 and 1/4 cups per day and she rarely finishes that. It has made a difference in her mobility. Recommend highly.

Did the trick
By Tabby on Jun 11, 2020
My furbaby has been scarfing down his other food and I was concerned he was gaining weight too fast. He was constantly begging for food and getting into garbage or any place there might be food. Only one week in and he has completely calmed down, not begging and I almost have to pick him up to bring him to his bowl at feeding time. I keep my boys on feeding times so I know they aren’t being over fed. This food took care of my concerns and is helping my little one maintain rather than gain weight! <3

Not very good
By Ryan on Jul 10, 2020
Gave this to my cat to help him lose weight. I give it 2 stars because he liked the taste. However, the pieces of food must Expand in the stomach (part of the overweight management maybe) but no matter how small of a portion I would give him he would throw up immediately after eating.

SPECIAL CAT VET DIET Pro Plan OM
By Patte on Feb 9, 2020
I was worried that my cat wouldn't like it because she had been on her other food for quite some time. Right from the start she ate it without any problem. This recipe has increased moisture in it, which is what my cat needed; since she has always refused to eat any kind of wet food and she is 15. This recipe is also to help with overweight, if needed.
