Purina Pro Plan Veterinary Diets NF Kidney Function Advanced Care Feline Formula Dry Cat Food - 8 lb. Bag

A few months ago I noticed my 18 year old cat seemed a little disoriented and watched him. He looked dizzy then started to howl. I scoop him up and rush him to the animal ER. Turns out he has high blood pressure and advanced kidney disease. Tests reveal his kidneys were only working at 10%. He was in fatal condition. I was given a prescription for the blood pressure, informed about signs he was suffering(and needed to be euthanized) and what to do with his body should he "pass". I tried several brands of the wet food (needed to help him stay hydrated) but he wouldn't eat anything but this. It's only been 2 months and he is doing better, his kidney function is now at 25% which is survivable, and it all attributed to this(getting his bp down just keeps his kidneys from getting worse). This definitely improved his kidney function.

You must have a prescription from your veterinarian to purchase this food. My 17 1/2 yr old cat started having issues that the vet determined would be managed by putting him on the kidney focused food. My cat took a day to adjust to. Now he doesn't even sniff the regular cat food fir my other cats. He has a regular appetite & put on weight. His hair is back to normal. He has more energy. Great food for a cat with this special kidney diet.

My 14 year old cat has just been diagnosed with kidney disease. This food was recommended by the vet. My fear was that my cat would not eat it because she's a very picky eater. Thankfully, she loves this food. Small size kibble that also smells good. I am hopeful that it will keep my cat's kidneys functioning for more years; if so, it is worth every penny. I will be lost without her.

Most cats, like mine, will not eat prescription cat food. The vet recommended the Pro Plan diet for kidney function, which Calli needs. She actually likes it! I feel better knowing I’m giving her food that will help to keep her kidneys functioning with a low protein food.

I have elderly cats and they needed to go on the special diet for Kidney problems. They are very fussy eaters and has slowly gotten used to the taste. I gradually introduced them to this product by mixing original food with this product 60 - 40 and now they are at 80 % NF Kidney food and 20% of the original.They seem to be doing well on this.

My 10 yo cat stopped eating drinking and started to shut down. The vet diagnosed my him with kidney disease, I was told he would likely live a few weeks to a month. After getting him comfortable using vet directed stomach antacids, appetite stimulant and getting him hydrated. Switched him to the previous version of this food and I'm pretty sure it saved his life. This food is a revised version and it still works just as good or better. He's 12 years old now and going strong!

I’ve had cats and dogs with CKD/glomeralnephritis and have had good luck with Purina NF. I’ve had cats and dogs do very well on Purina NF and their labs often improved. But with this disease, inappetence/anorexia is a huge issue and switching up food is paramount. I was having trouble finding this in stock at my regular vet prescription food places and thought it was odd that I could buy it WITHOUT A PRESCRIPTION from this Seller. But it showed up a week later. Unfortunately my cat had to have a feeding tube inserted and passed away within a week. I didn’t even open the bag of NF yet :( The Seller WAS TERRIBLE TO DEAL WITH. Instead of being understanding and working something out, he wanted me to keep it and “force” my dead cat to eat it or pay him the original shipping (was free thru Prime) and the return shipping ($14) leaving me a refund of $5. I contacted Purina directly and they refunded me 100% with a copy of my Amazon receipt. Buyer beware- this Seller claims to be a vet but sold this prescription only food to me without contacting my vet because he doesn’t ask for any vet or pet info. Then argues via email it you’re unsatisfied. Good thing Purina stands behind their products (which this Seller won’t tell you) and I donated the bag to a friend with a CKD cat. GREAT PRODUCT, AWFUL, GREEDY SELLER.

Picky cat loves it!
