Feeding guides are general recommendations only. The amount of food required by your cat may vary above or below that listed in this feeding guide. In consultation with your veterinarian it is recommended that you weigh your cat 4 - 6 weeks after starting a new diet in order to adjust food intake to maintain or achieve an optimal body weight and body condition score. Consult your veterinarian for specific feeding guidelines for your cat. This diet is formulated to be complete and balanced. It is unnecessary to feed leftover foods, kitchen scraps or additional supplements. It is recommended that your cat be fed 2 - 4 equal portions of the diet per day. Ensure fresh drinking water is available at all times. Store this product in a cool, dry place.
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.

We recommend it, but it’s not required. You can create your pet’s profile by logging in at Chewy.com, hovering over your account, and choosing “pet profile.”
Do authorizations expire?
Yes. Your vet will tell us when your authorization will expire and how many times we can send before they’d like you to check back in with them.
Can I set up automatic refills?
Yep! Sign up for Autoship and we’ll automatically ship your Veterinary Diets for as long as your authorization allows. If you run out of refills, or your authorization expires, we’ll automatically contact your vet for a new authorization. If we hit any bumps in the road, we’ll let you know right away.

The cat recommends this food.
By Scotty42 on May 10, 2020
My cat was diagnosed with diabetes almost a year ago. It was a struggle to find a food that he would eat more than once. He loves this food!

Chewy is Awesome
By Nana on Apr 11, 2020
Love Chewy for food and treats for my cats. Delivery is pretty fast considering the demands due to the virus. Normally it is received within a day or two. Thank you, Chewy!

All my cats love it
By GlycoBalance on Mar 28, 2020
I don't know if it is actually low in carbs, as it should be, but all my cats think this is actually a treat, and I have a picky one who doesn't like chicken, or fish.

Canin glycobalance cat food
By Lois on Jan 6, 2020
We just started Kellycat on this food since having her diagnosed with diabetes. We are starting with diet as her blood sugar wasn't terribly bad. She is eating her food and I have noticed some improvement already, she is feeling better , her energy is back and shes back to her chatty self. I haven't had her follow up yet. The veterinarian needs to approve this food. Prior I discussed diet with our vet . I researched diets for diabetic cats then ordered and chewy notified the vet for me when approved was shipped and delivered in a timely manner.

CATS EAT IT
By KDar on Feb 28, 2020
My newly diagnosed diabetic cat will eat this dry food, just not the wet version. My other, healthy, cats want it too but it is too expensive for me to feed all of them. I wish it was not so expensive.

My cats preference!
By Audrey on Dec 15, 2019
My cat (8 years old) was diagnosed with diabetes in March of this year (2019). My cat had eaten Purina complete all his life and he's super picky (he won't eat table scraps or cat treats), so when we started on the DM dietetic management from Purina I thought it'd be a smooth transition. While the size of the DM food was nice, my cat yo-yo'd on that food - eating it okay one day then not eating it the next. Sometimes he'd vomit and I was worried about his sugar levels so I switched to this after some research and review reading. I mixed it in for about a month, and then went full throttle after the DM food ran out. Now he's begging me for more! He loves this stuff.

The pieces are bigger than typical cat food but this doesn't seem to bother him. He's only supposed to eat 3/4 cup a day, but I give him a cup because of the larger food size and not wanting him to not get enough. I'm so, so glad he's finally eating normally again! I just wish they made a larger bag. I can't for the life of me regulate my Chewy orders on a regular autoship schedule because 4.4 lbs just doesn't last that long. … more

By Kelly on Jan 10, 2020
This is the first time I ordered this dry food for my Diabetic cat. Chewy made it soo easy and delivery was on time. The price is a few dollars cheaper than my vet, and they don't deliver. I am very happy with this purchase and will order again.

Great for Diabetic Maine Coons
By Chammy on Feb 9, 2020
I have a picky Maine Coon and she really likes this dry food. She’s always had Royal Canin dry food and with her larger size, prefers the larger kibble.
