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% |

The cat hates this food
By Lucky on Aug 31, 2021
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.

Meow Yummy
By Kitten10 on Oct 30, 2021
Wasn't sure he would like the pate like texture as he usually eats the savory selects, he enjoys this also. The company lists as minced ,it is solid course pate.

Too much white rice
By Kittyetta on Dec 27, 2021
My 2 cats likes it because they eat anything, but too much rice. Cats don’t need rice

Likes it but
By Duffy on Aug 29, 2021
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

Inaccurate Labeling
By CozysMom on Jun 20, 2021
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

Should be marked pate.
By ftippin on Jun 2, 2021
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.

Buddha Belly Bella
By BellaMom on Jun 11, 2021
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.

Disappointed
By Bubbles on Apr 3, 2021
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!

Good food my kitty loved
By MusicianMom on May 3, 2021
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.
