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% |

I have a copy of the authorization from my veterinarian. Can I send it to you?

Yes, but we'll need them to contact us and provide the full name of the pet's owner after the order is placed. This is so the veterinary clinic can locate your pet's records when we contact them. Email us at vetdiet@chewy.com or call us 24/7 at 1-800-672-4399.

Big cat likes it
By Bridey on Nov 24, 2021
Our obese cat was ordered to drop some weight by the Vet. Fortunately he seems to enjoy his new OM food. We just started so his weigh in is a bit down the road but our Vet highly recommended this food so we are anticipating good results

Good Product
By JudiB on Oct 12, 2021
I have two large cats (Mollie and Charlie) and have been feeding them this prescription food for about 10 years. It has definitely helped maintain their weight. Now that they are older I have added some higher quality dry food and vitamin powder to this product. Sometimes I add water and they seem to really like that.

Tastes good. does nothing for weight loss.
By Madds on Sep 27, 2021
I ignored the suggested portion size on the back of the bag as it was a LOT. I started out giving my 16 lb cat 1/3 cup x2 a day. She lost nothing so after four months, we tried 1/6 cup x3 a day. So for the past two months she has been eating only 1/2 cup a day. The last two weeks have been bad. She meows constantly for more food and seems really distressed. And after all this time i believe she actually gained another pound.

It's okay..
By Maddison on Sep 30, 2021
I got this diet because my cats are overweight... However, I've been feeding exactly what is recommended by my vet, and neither has lost weight. Neither of my cats are very excited about the food, and I'll be looking for an alternative.

Fluctuating Progress
By JordanNachole on Aug 6, 2021
We feed this to our 12 year old 27 pound cat and our 1 year old kitten. They both love this food and it seems to leave them feeling full and satisfied. When we first started, the older cat lost three pounds, but he has since gained that back. We're not sure if he is secretly eating the kittens portions or if his body has just stopped adjusting to this food, but overall we are happy with it.

Didn’t work
By Freya on Jun 14, 2021
My vet prescribed this for my 16.8lb cat to lose weight. I’ve been feeding him this for 4 months and his weight hasn’t budged at all. 2 month in, i took him back to the vet and told him it’s not working. He said to reduce the amount a little more. My poor cat has only been getting about 1/2 a cup a day for 2 months and he’s not losing weight and he’s hungry all the time. I’m quitting this food and switching to some of the freeze dried raw food. I think cats need sort of a Paleo/primal diet meaning high protein & fat and low carbs. This food is just high protein so cats stay hungry because they don’t get enough fat from this.

Big hit for fat cat!
By KatieB on Jun 3, 2021
Purina Pro Plan OM was recommended by my vet for my fat cat who really didn't care for Science Diet prescription food. I've only been feeding the OM for a few weeks but am already seeing positive results. Benny seems fuller and more satisfied after eating now, has more energy and looks like he's slimming down a bit. The food is very palatable and he even trots to his bowl to eat! I'm so glad that my vet recommended this food and that Chewy carries it. In addition, Chewy verified the script from my vet and shipped extremely fast.

Great Prescription Food!
By GermNurseRN on Aug 7, 2021
Both my cats love it! I can also see that it has helped their digestion. They just seem happier and not as haggard. My non-diabetic cat loves it too and keeps asking for more.
