Purina Pro Plan Urinary Tract Health Turkey and Giblets Entree Classic Wet Cat Food Pate - (Pack of 24) 3 oz. Pull-Top Cans

We use both Pro Plan dry and canned urinary tract food formula for our 19-lb, white, adopted (from our local animal society) cat. Chloe is not obese, maybe a little overweight, but mostly she’s just big. Once a service person came into our house, looked at her, and asked, “Is that some kind of a special cat?” I laughed and answered, “No, she’s just a big girl!.” Anyway, we switched from another vet-recommended food that unfortunately we had unquestionably been using for many years. We decided to try Pro Plan dry food based on some really high Amazon reviews, and discovering the high protein content in the food. We gradually added increasing amounts to her older food and Chloe switched without problems & even seemed more energetic. She's approximately 12 years old. After her 2 urinary tract infection in a 6-month period, we started using Pro Plan urinary tract dry food, later adding their canned food formula for that condition. Although Chloe drinks frequently, she was still dehydrated at her last vet appointment, so in addition to their “drip” treatment, the vet recommended the addition of wet food. This is because, a cat (like Chloe) with potential pre-renal (kidney) failure, needs the addition of wet food to reduce constipation. The vet reported that a cat with a urinary tract infection will be in pain when trying to have a bowel movement, and so will try to NOT have the movement, often subsequently becoming impacted. To whatever extent possible, for as long as possible, we’ll try to avoid this problem by using the Pro Plan urinary tract food, with the addition of wet food to increase her fluid intake. We started with the chicken entrée, later bought a variety pack, and also purchased a turkey and giblet pate'. She clearly liked all of them Our only problem is that when eating wet food Chloe will only lick it, refusing to eat even the tiniest of firmer pieces. Even with the Pro Plan turkey and Giblet or the Beef & Chicken urinary tract pate’ food, we have to puree it first in our mini food processor. Ridiculous, but you know how cats are, and since she needs the addition of wet food for her health--to reduce potential for constipation-- my husband (the official puree’ person), does a 3 oz.can each day. We can puree all of the wet foods, but the pate’ food comes out smoother, so we decided to mainly use those, so far having tried the turkey & giblet pate' and the beef and chicken pate'. Presently we give Chloe 1/3 of a can 3 times daily as a supplement to her Pro Plan urinary tract dry food. After refrigeration, we microwave 1/3 of the can for about 14 seconds, and check it with our finger to make sure it’s not too thick or too hot anywhere. If too thick we microwave for about 5 seconds more, and if too hot, it cools enough in about 5 seconds with stirring. In addition to making the food softer, and more wet, the microwaved warmth probably helps with any bowel movements occurring after she “laps” up her pureed food. Chloe’s had no problems with bowel movements since we’ve been doing this, so it’s worth it. So far, she likes every Pro Plan food that we’ve given her, and as I’ve said in a prior review, my only regret is not having switched to Pro Plan sooner. Incredible, but after eating her warm pureed food, our previously non-playful old cat now hurries to her previously-ignored toys and favorite box, waiting for us to make the toys play hide-and-seek with her through the box flaps. Obviously she's feeling better and is happy with her Pro Plan regime!

My cats love it. I love it too. It keeps my cats going!

Good for the cat that has urinary problems but the price is too high.

My cat loves these cans of food. I bought them because my cat has urinary tract issues which results in crystals forming and him peeing in everything but his litter box. When using this food with his prescription grade urinary food, his symptoms go away. We fed him the prescription dry food in the AM and this can in the PM. HOWEVER, when I ran out of his prescription food and used this food only, his symptoms returned after 2 weeks. So if you’re using this to treat your cat’s urinary problems, just note that it alone might not be enough. But if in conjunction with you’re vet’s recommended plan, it will be fine.

One of my cats his urinary tract will clog up this wet cat food seems to work for him.

Good food for a cat that developes crystals. I have found that if you feed them this exclusively for periods of time (month or so) they develop vomiting. I just rotate foods every couple days and seems to be fine. My car has not had any crystal issues after starting this food years ago (he would get them a few times a year prior)

My cats really like the taste!

It helps my cat with her urinary tract problems, and she loves the taste. She's super picky when it comes to food,but she loves it. Smells good and you get enough food in one of this cans to feed a cat for two days.

I have 2 cats, one with a history of crystals, and it was recommended to use a wet food as part of their daily diets. his is a great option, and both cats are obsessed with it. They love the taste, and it's the highlight of their day. THere have been zero issues with crystals since starting this food. Proplan products are a go to for us, so being able to get the canned food so easily is great

I've been feeding this food to my kitty cat who is vulnerable to that male cat bladder/urinary tract issue for about 6 months now with great results. He loves it. He's about 6 pounds and eats a can per day.

Cats love one cat has urinary issues but second cat is male so should use that kind of food anyway. Only issue is not enough fibre have to add for my car to get better poops

My cat eats this and since she has been eating it is no longer throwing up multiple times per day.

my cat was on dry food and got a urinary infection. Switched this to Urinary tract health formula and he is well again, also he eats it with relish. Problem appears to be solved thanks to Purina Pro.
