We recommend at least a 7-day transition before you begin feeding the new food exclusively. Start by mixing 75% of the old diet with 25% of the new diet on Day 1 and Day 2. On Day 3 and Day 4, mix 50% of the old diet with 50% of the new diet. On Day 5 and Day 6, mix 25% of the old diet with 75% of the new diet. On the 7th day, you can feed the new food exclusively. This allows your pet’s digestive system to smoothly adapt to the new food.

Can Food Help My Itchy Cat?
Scratching, biting and rubbing are signs of what is happening under your cat's coat. Skin issues in cats can be due to food sensitivities.
About Food Sensitivities
Food sensitivities are reactions to normally harmless proteins in the diet and can occur with a cat of any age. A food sensitivity is determined by a food elimination trial which is performed under the supervision of a veterinarian. Your veterinarian may choose a diet that contains hydrolyzed proteins (ones that have already been partially broken down) or novel proteins (ones that your pet is unlikely to have been exposed to).
Signs of Food Sensitivity
Sensitivities to the proteins in your cat's food or environmental irritants can result in a variety of clinical signs and only your veterinarian can determine if a veterinary-exclusive diet is appropriate for your pet. If a diet change is recommended, for best results, it is very important to feed only that food while strictly adhering to your veterinarian's feeding directions.

No more scratching
By Nice on Mar 23, 2019
I have a Persian that has horrible allergies and she is always scratching and pulls about her hair and usually turns into staph infection. She has also always had dark runny tears which would get all over the flooring, bedding, couch, etc. I have tried numerous supplements and nothing. The vet recommended this food and WOW..It cut the tearing 75% no more drippings all over the house, the scratching is at least that much better as well and less vomiting. The smell is not the best but I would definitely recommend this

My cat is happy and healthy
By Rosetta on Apr 9, 2019
My cat has been eating this food ever since she turned up with allergies and along with medication she is now fine. She likes this food so there’s no problem getting her to eat what is good for her. I discovered Chewy when my usual supplier was back ordered on this and Chewy got it to me quickly and easily.

Ultamino Best Dry Food
By Murph on Mar 28, 2019
Our 16+ yrs. cat had seemed to be in poor health. At our vets suggestion, we purchased the Ultamino dry cat food. He's been on it for two weeks and is a much, much healthier cat. He's peppy, and more attentive to his surroundings. His fur is shiny, and he has less shedding. Our vet is happy with his health, and so are we.

A lifesaver
By Dave on Feb 15, 2019
My cat was having explosive diarrhea. I spent well over $1000 with an internal medicine vet who never could come up with a definitive diagnosis. I switched to a number of foods, none of which helped until I started feeding my cat Royal Canin Ultamino, which my vet recommended. The diarrhea completely stopped! It is now a couple of years later and the diarrhea has not returned since I started using this food. Yes, I highly recommend it and could have saved myself a lot of money if I had only started using it in the first place.

I needed this fast!
By JW55555 on Mar 9, 2019
Thank you, Chewy, for the great customer service help as I need prescription cat food fast. I have no other choice for my Betty as her digestive system cannot handle normal cat food. Adding the food to my regular litter order LAST MINUTE was no problem for you. Betty and I appreciate you.

Ultamino not so ultimate
By Mcat on Feb 12, 2019
He eats it but he isn't a happy cat. The toys I got from you were poor quality. He shredded one in less than half a day. He has others he has had for months. Won't be buying anymore skitter critters.

Not for my cat
By Jersey on Dec 16, 2018
My vet recommended this for my cat with allergies. I was hesitant to order because of ingredients (corn starch 1st ingredient) but decided to give it a try....big mistake. It smells terrible and my cat absolutely will not touch it. He tries to cover it up and then flips the bowl over. A lot of money wasted.

Vet recommended. Worth it?
By Blooms on Feb 16, 2019
My cat likes it. Have been using it for about 5weeks no other food. She is still itchy and skin not healing. Expensive experiment.
