Product Information
Full details
This diet is specifically formulated for cats struggling with food sensitivities or gastrointestinal issues. By using single-source, hydrolyzed protein, it minimizes the risk of immune system reactions, making it an excellent choice for pets that require a strict elimination diet. While it provides essential, high-quality nutrition to support digestive health, it is a veterinary-exclusive product, meaning it requires consultation with your vet to ensure it is the correct long-term solution for your specific cat.

FAQs
Does this food require a prescription?
Yes, Purina PRO Plan Veterinary Diets are designed for specific health conditions and require authorization from your veterinarian.
Can I give my cat treats while on this diet?
No. To effectively manage a food allergy, it is critical that the cat consumes only the hydrolyzed diet. Any treats containing other proteins can trigger a reaction.
What is hydrolyzed protein?
It is protein that has been chemically processed to break it down into very small molecular pieces that the immune system does not recognize as an allergen.
Is this safe for kittens?
This formula is generally intended for adult cats. Please ask your veterinarian if it is appropriate for your kitten’s specific growth needs.
How long should my cat stay on this diet?
The duration depends on your cat's health condition. Some cats stay on it for a few months during an elimination trial, while others may require it long-term.
Troubleshooting
Cat refuses to eat the new food
Try warming the food slightly with a small amount of warm water, or mix in a tiny amount of the cat's previous food if your veterinarian approves the transition plan.
Digestive symptoms persist after several weeks
Consult your veterinarian to verify that no 'secret' treats or unauthorized snacks are being consumed, or to re-evaluate the underlying cause of the symptoms.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Transitioning your cat to a new food should be done gradually over 7-10 days by mixing increasing amounts of the HA formula with their previous food to avoid further gastric upset. Keep the bag sealed in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the proteins. Because this is a medical diet, compatibility is high for cats with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) or food allergies, but you should always consult your vet before mixing it with other medications. Ensure your cat has constant access to fresh, clean water, as hydration is vital when managing digestive health.
