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-approved, palatable minced formula that works!
By JoJo on Aug 15, 2020
My 9 yr. old cat, Don Pablo was put on Purina OM canned food by his vet 1.5 years ago as he was a few pounds overweight. He’s a big eater and, therefore, has a tendency to put on weight. We had no trouble transitioning him from his old food to the OM because the OM seems to be very palatable. He loves this formula as well as the other three OM flavors offered by Purina. ALL the flavors have a MINCED TEXTURE with small meat chunks mixed in lots of fairly thick gravy. (The few here who have said in their review that this formula is a pate must have it confused with a different food.) Over time, Don Pablo has lost a safe amount of weight and is now much more active. The food really agrees with his My 9 yr. old cat, Don Pablo was put on Purina OM canned food by his vet 1.5 years ago as he was a few pounds overweight.

(The few here who have said in their review that this formula is a pate must have it confused with a different food.) Over time, Don Pablo has lost a safe amount of weight and is now much more active. The food really agrees with his digestive system. He does not vomit on it, and leaves nicely-formed stool in the litter box every day without fail. His stool isn’t nearly as stinky as it was on his old food—another premium, but non-RX brand and formula. As he ages, I watch for signs of chronic kidney disease (CKD), which is very common in older cats. I like that the OM formulas contain less than 1% (dry matter) phosphorous—a mineral that can cause serious problems for a cat with CKD if consumed in excess. I also love that OM canned comes in 4 different flavors to give Don Pablo variety as he enters his senior years. Since he has a tendency to gain weight, we intend to keep him on the OM formula as a maintenance diet long term. A big thanks to Chewy for making this excellent RX food available to purchase! … more

Not the cats favorite.
By catmom on Jun 27, 2020
A couple of my cats will eat this, but not all of them. I think the texture is the problem. I didn't realize it was pate' when I bought it. They really like savory selects, so I was trying to get them another flavor to try.

Not sure of this product
By nanni55 on Jun 12, 2020
My kitty hesitantly eats it, and I was surprised to see full pieces of what appears to be long grain rice. I do not understand why that is supposed to help in losing weight. Not appealing at all. Pretty dry for a wet food.

Canned cat food
By Reggie on Dec 21, 2019
My picky eating cat who only eats fillets absokutely loves this canned food. She's only been on it for a couple of weeks, so I don't know about weight loss yet but I'm cautiously optomistic.

Good for them too!
By Bones on Nov 25, 2019
It seems to be helping my Cat, Bones with his weight. But if I give it to him too often he gets tried of it. He loves to eat. This helps him eat better.

Cats didn't like it
By Jungly on Dec 3, 2019
For whatever reason, my cats won't eat this. I'm sure it's great food, but my cats don't like it for some reason.

Cats eat it because they have to
By FatherOfBeaukat on Nov 21, 2019
The weight control works I think part of that is because the cats (3) only eat it because there is no alternative.

Tony’s Nee Favorite Food
By Toby on Jul 23, 2019
I was having a hard time finding a high fiber food that Toby would eat. A wonderful Chewy Associate named Mariah looked at a number of foods and found that this was actually higher in fiber than what was recommended by his vet. He loves the taste! And the high fiber is helping him shed a few pounds.

It's working
By lisa on Sep 4, 2019
One of my cats was overweight and our vet recommended this product along with their dry food and it seems like he has more energy and is losing a little weight too.
