Transition Instructions
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% |

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.

Works great
By Eddy on Nov 14, 2021
When my Eddy my diagnosed with diabetes when he was just one year old, I was so upset. Changed his food and gave him insulin for a week and his levels went from over 300 to 102. My vet wanted to try giving him just the food and stop the insulin. Did that for almost a week and his levels were still down. Now I am going on 4 months and he gets checked now only once a month and his levels are still great, and I am only giving him the dm food. I would recommend this product to any diabetic kitty.

A Winner in Diabetic Diets for Cats
By CatCurer on Nov 16, 2021
The ProPlan line of Veterinary Diets is a great choice for part of the treatment regimen for Diabetic cats. Ask your Veterinarian about this diet. It is highly palatable, and is economic when fed as instructed. Over the years, I have had several diabetic cats, and this has been a winner in finding a food that is deemed 'edible' by the Feline members needing it in the household.

My cat likes the flavor
By Lexi on Sep 11, 2021
We have been struggling to get my diabetic cat's glucose regulated better. He is insulin-resistant, and he will only eat dry food. We tried the Hill's version of low glucose food, but he would not eat it and started getting weaker. He much prefers the taste of this food and is eating regularly again.

Great price!
By Diane on Aug 21, 2021
My diabetic cat is on this diet so I have always gotten it from the vet. They don't carry it so they have to order it. Doesn't always come in time. With Chewy, it's always shipped within 2 days and I don't have to go pick it up. Same price as the vet. I think I'm going to continue to order it from Chewy.

Cat loving it so far
By LilosMom on Jul 6, 2021
When I first opened it, he was reluctant to try it since it was different. However, I mixed it with a little dry food he liked, and he tried it. After the first bite, he loved it. He's in remission now and so far this hasn't spiked his blood sugar. I still check his sugar every other day. It's expensive, but a daily serving size is a very small amount since it's so high in protein. He's not a fan of canned, so this has helped maintain his weight without making him diabetic again. Just make sure you following the guidelines and don't give them too much.

Vet recommended-Cat approved
By Cissy on Jul 23, 2021
I didn't mix this with their previous dry food, but sometimes that step is needed. I just set it out and let them decide. My cats started eating this immediately and didn't want any of their old dry food. They have eaten it very well since presented. I'm glad they can eat healthy food now to keep them healthy.
