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. 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.

How do I order veterinary diets?

If your clinic needs more information from you or recommends a different diet, we'll let you know immediately.
I have a copy of the authorization from my veterinarian. Can I send it to you?

Can I use a veterinarian's authorization if it was written by a veterinarian out of state? Yes. We accept valid authorizations from anywhere in the United States, Canada, and U.S. territories such as Puerto Rico.
Why do I need a veterinarian's authorization?
Veterinary diets are formulated with the precise ingredients and nutrients needed to address specific medical issues. Because these diets are formulated for medical issues, veterinary authorization is needed to advise you on the best way to give them to your pet and to monitor your pet's health while they are on the diet.
Can someone else (such as a caretaker or family member) place an order for my pet?
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.

Perfect, weight coming off
By FosterMom on May 16, 2020
My little adopted Chi-Min was food deprived in her past life. Started gaining weight. Between snacks and stealing the kitten's food, she was looking pudgy. Solved the kitten food stealing and put her on this. Neighbor commented how good she looks now. Weight is starting to get back to what it should be without sacraficing good nuitrition.

Excellent for small dogs with a weight problem
By aztcraig on Sep 28, 2019
Our 12 pound chihuahua mix loves this food. We've tried many others with her, but she never liked the taste or felt satiated. She has another medical problem that we have to monitor hence the prescription food. It's a little pricey, but worth it. I only wish the small breed formula came in a larger sized bag.
