Purina Pro Plan Veterinary Diets OM Overweight Management Formula Canned Cat Food, 5.5-oz, case of 24

This food is great for cat weight loss. The problem is the cat hates it and will eat it only as a last resort and makes our life miserable as a result. Years ago he did lose 3 lbs on this diet but we were out of the house more often and did not have to put up with his yowling. He does like the OM Savory Selects but doesn't seem to lose weight while consuming it.

We switched from OM morsels because all he ate was the gravy. He seems to like this ground food but picks out all the rice. Not sure why rice is in there. He has lost 3 lbs on OM products. He’s 13 and a Maine Coon

Initially bought the 24 can variety pack of OM. Since the blue label (whitefish & chicken) was not in the variety pack, I bought a case of that, too. Surprise, surprise the whitefish & chicken are not the consistency of the other 3 varieties in the 24-pack. The labeling on this reads "...in savory sauce..." just like on the other 3 varieties. I can find no mention on the label that this is more like a soft, wet pate. Luckily, Cozy cat is fine with mixing things up a bit. This pate is much easier to divide than the chunks in gravy. I've been mixing the two (pate & chunks) in the bowl & he's finishing what's served. He's been on OM for 3 months.

The OM is the only food Cozy is given, and there's been no significant weight loss, yet. The vet may make some changes at the next monthly check-up. Three stars because of labeling, no weight loss, and I wish they'd use less meat by-products. … more

Tried this because the label said in sauce. Unfortunately, it has the texture of a wetter pate. My cat loves the version savory selects OM which are also marked "in sauce". This one she looks at the food then up at me and walks away. That behavior will help weight loss but I don't think that's the idea behind OM foods. Get this only if your cat likes pate.

Bella is overweight so vet had me switch to this food. This morning was her first time having it and she cleaned her bowl in no time flat. Sure hope she continues to enjoy it and loose weight.

I tried many different ways to entice my overweight kitty to at least TRY the OM Diet wet food......but there was no way he would even get near it.....even if I mixed it with some of his old wet food. I have no idea what I'm going to do with an almost full case of this food!

My overweight cat had to go on this diet but was refusing to eat the gravy kind and would only eat the pate. Chewy has the Product and I received it very quickly.

my cat nibbled did not like it - has a strong odor to it - would like if came in smaller cans

My vet recommended this and said her cats “love it”. She must get a kickback from ProPlan for every case sold because my 5 cats won’t eat it. I mix it half and half with the off-the-shelf canned foods they are used to eating, blending them together, and they won’t touch it. Four of the five need to lose weight, and if they do, it probably won’t be by eating this stuff. If I gave them only this, they would starve to death.

My Maine Coon is a stereotypical lap cat and unlike my other cat, she doesn't run around the house like crazy, so she gained 4 extra pounds even though she was fed a recommended portion of her previous quality food. My vet put her on the OM diet and the formula is proven to help with weight loss. She's already lost 3 of the 4 pounds she gained since she started eating this food and she's still not super active. Here's what I don't like about the canned version. I always buy the bagged dry kibble. A 16-lb bag of OM dry food is approximately $66.00 and lasts me almost 3 months with the daily portion she receives (3/4 cup).

A 16-lb bag of OM dry food is approximately $66.00 and lasts me almost 3 months with the daily portion she receives (3/4 cup). I recently purchased a case of the canned version after my cat had a surgical procedure, where serving warmed wet food was easier for her to smell, eat, and administer some liquid medicine. The feeding guidelines for the canned food at her current weight is two 5.5 oz cans per day. At approximately $50.00 a case, I'd need more than two cases to get me through a 30-day month. That price differential is crazy and not affordable, which is a shame. The price on Chewy is comparable with buying the product from the manufacturer's website directly. Also, my cat doesn't enjoy the little bits of rice that's in the canned food, so I end up having to puree it a bit to break that down. I've already spent $100.00 so far to get her through this illness and it's been very helpful for the purpose I needed it for. I might consider feeding her both kinds moving forward so a case may last me longer, but it would still end up being at least an extra $50.00 a month. … more
