Purina Pro Plan Weight Control Dry Cat Food, Chicken and Rice Formula – 16 lb. Bag

Wish I had switched to this earlier!
My 6 year old spayed indoor cat is quite lazy and refuses to eat anything but dry kibble. She gained a few pounds above her ideal weight, so 2 years ago, her vet switched her from her usual Purina Indoor Cat Chow to Hills Prescription Diet Metabolic Weight Management. She was on this very expensive prescription food for about 18 months. In this period, she gained another lb despite having a strictly metered automatic feeder schedule. I ran into difficulty getting the prescription food this fall, so I decided to take matters into my own hands and switch her food to Purina Pro Plan Weight Management. I read a lot of reviews before I decided to switch & really appreciated all of the insight from others. I was able to slowly make the switch per recommendations on the packaging. In just 3 months, I have noticed a drastic improvement in my cat’s coat condition. She didn’t have her usual silky sheen and seemed to shed a lot more. I thought it was just because she was getting older, but her coat definitely looks and feels so much better now. She seems to be more sated with this kibble, and doesn’t beg for more food like she did on the Hill’s diet. I have also noticed that she does not appear to be quite as heavy and is starting to lean out a bit. She won’t tolerate being weighed at home, so I will have to wait a few months until her next checkup to see how she is doing. Her energy level is good and she seems to be thriving. I wish that I had switched her food sooner! I got a discount by choosing auto ship and I appreciated getting an email reminder before it was time for my second order was to ship so that I could make some changes to the shipping frequency. It is so convenient to have it delivered.

My big boys are healthier and happier on less calories!
Update 1/22/21: Don’t go into panic mode like I did. I reordered this cat food from the same seller and thought the wrong product was shipped. The “gold and black” bags currently shipped are the same product and ingredients with new packaging. Whew!Let me preface this by saying that I have always owned smaller female cats (not by choice, it’s just the way things worked out). My new cats are a bonded pair of Toms considered ‘big boys’. One cat is described as a ‘big boy’ at 20 lbs for weigh, while the other is at 17 lbs and they are NOT fat! They are also older cats estimated to be 10 years+ which means they are less active and any new weight they put on will stay on.In a nutshell, I wanted to be pro-active and transition to a lower calorie reasonably priced food before things got out of hand and any medical conditions could develop (obesity, diabetes etc). In the months leading up to my choice I have tried other regular dry foods and weight management foods with emphasis on kcal counts. Yes, cat foods have cat calories listed as kcals on the label. Anyway, Purina Pro Plan Focus Weight Management is a winner! Both my boys love it at 320 kcal/cup which is an improvement over their old food at 460 kcal/cup. The big PLUS is this food is actually healthier, contains probiotics, no additives/preservatives, comes in more than one size bag (am so tired of buying small bags-love 12.5 lbs!) and it comes in their favorite poultry flavor (my cats refuse to eat seafood or beef). The boys now share 3/4 cup per day in addition to their cans of Fancy Feast. It’s been a little over a month since they started using Pro Plan Focus and they are much more active in the mornings and at night. They also appear healthier and happier on less calories! Would I recommend this food? Yes!

Purina dry cat food.
My furbabies love this food. I purchase this brand all the time but it’s not cheap. I have 2 indoor kitty’s who I buy this for. Cat food is very expensive these days.😻

Our cat loves it
Our cat loves it and this food helped our cat to be more fit because before she was enormous fat. Although you should keep in mind – this food doesn’t help preventing fur to fall out. So, we need to find another one to help agains fur.

My cats love it

I’ve always found Purina cat food to be of excellent quality, but I’ve noticed that the price has been increasing significantly over the past few months. It’s becoming quite unreasonable. I hope they reconsider their pricing strategy while maintaining their product quality.
