Sometimes both cats avoid the ff completely or puke and have loose bowels. Trying to find another brand worth the money. Tiki seems to be ok so far. Purina's meat products will make your cats ill. I've let them know, but they don't care. They act so concerned. I will never buy anything from Purina or the other companies affiliated with this company again.
Purina Pro Plan gives my cat diarrhea, I am very disappointed with it, it is quite expensive and I don't need any expensive cat food that makes my cat sick, can anyone make a suggestion what food to get?

Both my cats started vomiting on the new formula. It's the one with the matte bag versus the glossy bag. We went around town and bought the former bag at a few stores that still had it. But the new formula caused both of our cats to puke everywhere for several days on end. Also, this wasn't a straight change, they had their original formula in their bowl and we gradually added it as an extra step. I contacted Purina via Facebook under the name of Debra Elise and they ignored my post, and didn't contact me. There was also 1 very concerning ingredient that is now added to the new formula, which has been indicated in liver/kidney failure.
It's unacceptable to not be contacted by Purina. I recently had to reach out to Verizon, and ID me on both responded almost instantly. I hope the FDA will get involved. I've submitted a formal complaint.
My vet suggested Pro Plan with my cats' allergies. We put our cats on Pro Plan 6 months. They were throwing up more often, allergies got much worse and they seemed to slow down. I was very Disappointed. I DO NOT suggest this food brand, we are still dealing with the allergic effects 3 months later.
Food quality is consistent and packaging remains the same. It has been harder to order and receive the 5.5 ounce cans either due to marketing or supply chain delays. Our cats loved the Nutro brand of foods. But when their cat food looks it was pulled off the market and rebranded in smaller packaging it was no longer feasible in a multi-cat household. Purina Pro Plan quickly became our go to in the void and we have continued to use, plus the cats like it. We would recommend.
My 2 cats were eating Fancy Feast wet and I switched them to Pro Plan wet food. They usually clean the bowls and enjoy a wide variety of flavors. They stay full longer, have more energy, and softer fur now. The cat box is also less odorous.
I have 2 cats, one is 6yo and the other 3yo. They are very finicky, but I have found after finding the flavors they like, (one loves seafood anything, the other prefer chicken or turkey) as long as it is Purina (paste please), they clean their plates! No more wasted money on different brands of food they won't even taste. Some of them smell awful and I don't blame them for not eating it. It seems as long as I feed them Purina, I have 2 happy fur babies!
Got new and cat got so sick I thought she was going to die. Disappeared in my house for 2 days. Finally showed up the 3rd. Emailed Purina and they sent coupons. My cat was only eating that food. Yuck.
I purchased Purina pro live clear for my healthy cat, that has not had any veterinary issues. I fed live clear to my cat for 3 weeks. He ended up inpatient at my vet for mega colon. He spent 4 days inpatient at my vet.
Very long story short. My cat started vomiting on Purina dry food. We brought him to the vet, everything was normal, we thought it was just a stomach upset, but the vet advised to switch him on Purina Fancy Feast (variety). Within the next 7 months my cat continued to have violent episodes of vomiting, every 2-3-4 days that caused severe dehydration. Three months after the first episode he showed signs of kidney failure. Immediately changed the food to other Purina brands, with less proteins, no chunks. Same story, vomiting, vomiting several trips to the ER.
At the end I decided to completely interrupt cat food and switched my cat to human food. Vomiting completely, and I say completely stopped!! To understand whether it was the food, after one month that he stopped vomiting I re-introduced Purina Pro Plan slowly, first one tip of the spoon, within one week one can. At the 1 can feeding, cat vomiting again!! I have a dog also on Purina Pro Plan Focus. He is not eating that food and has upset stomach all the time. I am eliminating Purina from my house, for cat and dog. They should seriously revisit what they are giving us.
