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

Purina Pro Plan is good quality food and so far our cat has liked each type we’ve given her (both dried and canned)!
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 themOur 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!

Mr Kitty likes it and it works!
So my Favorite Fuzzy absolutely refuses to eat ANY of the even more expensive (and admittedly probably better) prescription urinary care foods various vets sold us. And we’ve given each and all the prescriptions a rigorous, longterm, dedicated, multi-trick strategy go-round, but that’s ALAS a hard NO, as in overturning his dish then running the halls and room to room screaching. So I’m majorly relieved he likes this (and this company’s other urinary care flavors) and I’m beyond happy his severe symptoms quickly abated anyway in just a week or so. And, so far, we’re thrilled Mr Kitty hasn’t in over a year (so far) experienced any further UT troubles.

My cat loves it
My male cat needs urinary care food, but only one flavor is stocked at HEB, none at Kroger, in cans. He doesn’t drink much water so I like to feed him canned food. This turkey and giblets flavor he prefers over the cans at HEB, which he will try to avoid by begging for dry food, rubbing his face on the bag, saying now, now but no avoiding the turkey and giblets. He’s back to a can every day.

I always buy this every month for my cat at a great price. It is a very necessary cat food my cat needs. And he loves the flavor.

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

The main point of the food is to help prevent urinary crystals or struvites. We were able to wean our cat off the expensive vet prescription food and our cat has had no problems since. However, beware of the choice with chicken. Very poor ingredient list. Beef has the best quality. Cat likes all flavours. Portion size a bit small for a larger cat.
