Purina Pro Plan Cat Food Reviews

Recently Purina changed this food (Purina One salmon and tuna blend try food). I had quite a few cats on it. After they changed it, every one of my cats on this food starting getting sick and vomiting! I wrote Purina asking what they did to the food. I never got an answer. So I would steer clear of the "new" Purina one salmon and tuna blend. Try cat food!!!

I believe this is the best cat food for my budget. There are others that are better but more expensive however Petsmart is fleecing the public by raising the prices frequently... What used to be 65 cents a can not long ago is now 99 cents for 3 ounces.

I bought Purina one until my cats' favorite flavors, such as chicken & rice, were switched over to pro plan. Now I have to pay more for the same products. It's still a great cat food but that was kinda sneaky though.

My fur balls loves this brand and they are both hard to please, this brand is helping my little girl who suffers from a health problem. So far this is the only dry and wet food that she loves. I also love the variety that they offer and the ingredients in their food.

I have bought Purina Pro Plan for many years and my cats really enjoy the chicken and/or salmon kibbles. I had to change to Hill's Prescription Diet c/d for my male cat because he had some urinary tract issues.

I haven't had any problems with their food, in fact when I first brought my cats into the vets when they were neutered and got their shots at 5-6 months he asked what I was feeding them and I said Friskies and Purina, he said "good"...but reading these comments I am worried. The oldest cat Petey 2 1/2 years old is very picky and will maybe vomit once every 2-3 weeks, but it is usually after he eats too much. He is nicely trim, not fat or even a little chubby, they are both indoor cats and rescued from the streets as tiny kittens. The youngest Leo 1 1/2 years old loves the dry food and honestly isn't as picky as Petey, and never vomits.

I started feeding my 13+ (strictly indoor all his life) cat Purina Pro Plan Urinary tract formula (morning) and metabolism formula (afternoon) canned food about a month ago. The first week he was fine. The second week he started having a little diarrhea and then he started projectile vomiting a greenish-yellow bile for 3 days in a row until I finally took him to the vet. $180 later my vet told me that my cat had unusually high amount of Spirochetes in his gut. Prior to feeding him Purina I had always feed him Iams indoor hard cat food but he lost his front teeth and couldn't digest the food as well anymore. After reading all the other reviews I am totally confident that the Purina is the culprit. All cans aren't due to expire until 2018.

I thought maybe she was stressed so I kept an eye on her hoping it'd get better. She didn't seem stressed at all up to this point is a good traveller. Anyway, she went to the bathroom again early afternoon and I noticed she had blood in her stool - bright red blood. I immediately called an emergency vet.

I have 7 cats, 2 have sensitive stomachs, so I tried the pro plan sensitive stomach formula. All 7 cats threw it up, they couldn't even digest this food. It came back out the same as it went in. Didn't even look like it had been eaten. Hello Purina, it's sensitive stomach formula... Get my drift?? I will never feed your crappie food to my animals again. I have a pet parent. I trained their dog. He works at the Purina plant here in Denver, he warned me to not feed Purina. The guy works there!!! I'm happy he was honest with me. Purina is a disgrace to our pets!!

Kitten food Chicken and Liver - We bought 2 cases of the product. First few cans seemed okay, though a bit of an odd smell. The last can we opened, the smell was so bad that we had to bag it and take it straight to the trash. It literally smelled like a can of feces. Concerned for my kitten's health now. Product was spoiled in the can. Best by Nov2017. 53171162 L20021653. I contacted Purina - requesting a full refund and logging a case in the event my kitten needs medical attention.

My cat has kidney stones and we have searched for a food beneficial for her. We tried Pro Plan Urinary Tract Chicken and Turkey formula, she loved it. Twenty four hours later she was rapid breathing then projectile vomiting with mucus diarrhea. I thought she was going to die. She still might. It's two days later now I am just slowly getting her to eat another food. She looks horrible. I am bringing the remaining food back to Petco.

I have been using this product for 3 years and in the past 3 months my 4 cats have been ill. They have lost weight, hair and constant itching. Something is wrong with this product. I called the company and they told me that they have not changed the formula so obviously they have tainted ingredients in the product that sicken animals. I would warn owners if your pets are crying after eating, losing weight, vomiting and have uncontrolled itching with open sores it is the food.

Until this product sickened my kitty, I was a very pleased Purina Pro user. But this last batch of dry cat food sickened my cat and my mother's cat. The beef flavored classic ground wet food also sickened them. They got violently ill less than 3x feet from the cat food bowl. The Lamb and Rice kicked it off and was way worse, lasting a few days with fever and gaggy hacks, but they still vomited with the Savory and Beef+Chicken. I also fed my kitty the Purina Natural Ocean Whitefish & Salmon Classic Ground which didn't make them sick. This was over a period of a week and the second cat sickening that we realized it was the food. Our primary go-to for food is the wet food so the second cat didn't get sick until mom was too busy to get him his food before he relented and ate the "emergency rations" dry food. 3x feet later projectile vomiting like the first cat. Thankfully he is younger and/or did not get as big a dose as my poor older kitty the first day.

I have 3 cats that have always used Purina Indoor. To my amazement when I bought a new bag and put into their dishes, all 3 cats sniffed it and walked away. This is so unusual for my cats as feeding time is a big deal to them. I stupidly threw it away. I knew something was wrong with it. Even the smell was off. Beware to check your cat or dog food bags upon opening them.

Our vet recommended Purina Pro Plan so that is what we buy. It is 40% protein and when I look at other brands, they are always less. Our cats have never complained about it so they must enjoy it. I buy it from Amazon and it gets delivered to my door for less than the price at PetSmart. I find that amazing.

When I first got Pepper back in October 2014, the adoption clinic strictly instructed me that she should only eat Purina Pro Plan Cat Food and nothing else. She seems to like it and she will meow at me whenever she can see the bottom of her bowl with the food pushed to the edges. I don't know if it's her acting like a child pushing her "peas" to the side or she's actually enjoying it and she's eating straight down. However, after recent events (involving her throwing up a clear mucus-y substance and avoiding the litter box entirely) and six recalls (two of which I had to return the bagged food) I'm thinking of switching to Nature's Variety as she heartily enjoyed the sample that I was given.

Upon purchasing this cat food -- three separate times over a period of a year -- both of my otherwise healthy cats vomited within 15 minutes of eating their meal. My older cat will go to her dish, smell/see this food, and continue meowing for food as if there's nothing there. She will go hungry before she eats it, and finally when she does give in, she pukes. Same with my 5 year old cat. This company is criminal and they know it. I hope people smarten up and boycott them right out of business.

I can't actually describe if I enjoyed it, however my cat had absolutely no problems with it. Apparently it's nutritious & supposed to be one of Purina's best cat foods.

Open up the bag of Purina Pro and it was crawling with maggots. Instantly returned it and bought something else. Purina customer service response was poor and because of that I refuse to serve my cat Purina dry food now.

I use a cat food with no artificial colors or preservatives. There is no need to fancy color cat food. They don't care what color it is and it is not healthy for your animal. We love the Purina Naturals cat food for our 2 9 year old cats.

I rescued a 10-year old cat a few years ago and began feeding her Purina Pro Plan. She seems to enjoy it and the food is affordable and my vet is impressed with her health.

This was a great compromise between any ingredients list I could live with and a food the kitty would not turn her nose up at. I wish I had found Pro Plan sooner in her life and not wasted all that time with trendy food she wouldn't eat (and which I am no longer convinced were as good for her as the trendsetters would have me believe).

I am owner of 1 cat. Other owner is acquaintance that lives in a different state. Gave cat a rounded tablespoon of the food from new can about 5:30 pm on Friday. About 12:15 am she suddenly vomited without any warning or noise as she usually does. When we woke up at 6:30 we found little bits of sticky stool throughout the house, in all 6 rooms, some with a wet spots around it on carpet. Same little bits of sticky stool were seen in litter box, with a puddle of mucus, almost clear stool that was beginning to dry around edges (so it probably had been there for 3-4 hours). We went to cat to find her with very slow shallow breathing, no movement of her body at all and only a bit of movement of her head. We pet her and sat with her for about 30 minutes then took another hour to clean house while she remained with almost no movement on the chair.

We have a Bengal Breed female. Sometimes she is a bit finicky. And then we switch to Fancy Feast filet mignon with seafood and shrimp. I do not know why it's called seafood and shrimp, since shrimp mostly comes from the sea. The freshwater shrimp are prawns. Our cat normally loves the Purina Pro Plan though.

On April 30, 2015 my sweet gentle giant "Shylo" was admitted into the hospital with a severe urinary tract infection. He had to have a catheter placed, and had several crystals in his urine. The first thing his doctor asked me, was "What food are you feeding Shylo?" I told her "I only buy and feed my cats Purina cat chow blue bag!" She said, "no Trish, Purina blue bag is as bad if not worse than Walmart special kitty!" I felt so guilty.

Within the last year due to health problems with 2 of my cats I have switched to Purina Pro Plan Focus diets. My 1 year old Maine Coon Cat was diagnosed with a complete urinary blockage and after hospitalization and treatment was sent home with an expensive Prescription Diet. After 6 months on this diet he was doing well but the cost was prohibitive and after MUCH research and reading hundreds of reviews I came across the Pro Plan Focus Urinary Tract Diet for cats that you didn't need a prescription for and was very reasonably priced. It is safe for all of my cats to eat this diet and I am thrilled to say that after 11 months on this diet he is healthier than ever and has not had one problem.

I regularly feed my cats a small amount daily of Purina Pro Plan Savor Chicken and Rice dry food and they are fine. This week my cats became sick, but I am not sure it was from the Pro Plan as they eat many Fancy feast canned cat food varieties. I found this site and saw the various posts that are current and about Pro Plan. My cats have vomited and refused to eat for a day. My elderly 16 year old cat is sicker and not recovering.

I have been feeding both wet and dry Purina Cat food for years. Within the past few months my adult boy cat refused to eat the wet food, Pro Plan. He is a big boy, healthy, and eats the dry food, Purina One. I chalked up his refusing to eat the wet food as being finicky. Then I got a feral cat a month ago whom I had spayed and had to keep inside for three weeks during the cold weather. I started feeding her both the wet and dry food. She seemed fine initially for the first five days, then she started having diarrhea and vomiting yellow bile. I thought it was due to the antibiotics I had her on for a respiratory infection. Well, I stopped the antibiotics one week ago. She no longer has a respiratory infection. She has been tested for Fluke and FIV, both are negative. She continues to vomit and have diarrhea.

I have fed my cats Pro Plan since they were kittens. They loved it and looked healthy and had soft shiny coats. One cat has digestion issues so we would use the lamb and rice formula or chicken. I would occasionally get another brand of cat food if it was on sale and for 12+ years have had no problems with them transitioning back and forth. If I did it was with the one cat. Last week I had bought pro plan lamb and rice because the large bags were on sale. All three cats have been throwing up and have severe diarrhea. They also were not very eager to eat the food. The day I changed back to a different brand it instantly cleared up. Purina has changed their formula on pro plan somehow and sad to say we will not be buying Purina anymore.

My cat had been on Purina Pro Plan and then switched to Friskies because she stopped eating the Pro Plan (dry) cat food. So we just decided to offer her something different. This happened in December. She still wouldn't eat and then we took her to the vet who treated her for dehydration and gave antibiotics for infection. I thought she was recovering, but, suddenly she collapsed and could no longer hold herself up. She died yesterday of organ failure. I came to this thread trying to find some closure, trying to figure out what happened. She was fine until December. I am wondering if there was a bad batch in November/December. I miss my kitty.

I'm surprised at the negative comments. We have 3 cats and had a lot of problems with other pet foods. We put them on Purina Pro Plan cat food (dry) and they all seem healthy. They also really like the food a lot - it's the only cat food all three of them could agree on. They literally beg for it at night. The problem with it is the ingredients. I was trying to get them to eat Blue Buffalo to switch them to a healthy good, but well, check out the Blue Buffalo reviews here and you'll see the problem. So we defaulted to this brand.

My kitten (10 months old) has been on Purina pro plan kitten food since I got her last April. After starting a new bag last week she threw up her entire meal 15 minutes after eating till it was bail. This bag has an expiration date of April 2016. My kitten has NEVER thrown up, even a hair ball! The next morning she tried the food again, same thing. After reading some of the reviews online I was terrified my kitten was going to die! I ended up switching her immediately to a holistic brand and she has been doing fine since. She will not be eating Purina brand anything ever again. Also as I was cleaning out her litter box I noticed she had bloody stool from the food. I am absolutely heartbroken that I gave her this poison! My mom the next day opened up a new bag of Purina food for her cat and the cat threw it all up as well! Terrible! Something is going on with this food for sure!

I have fed my cat Pro Plan wet food for years along with OM Purina dry food. Both are his favorites. In mid December, I purchased several cans of Pro Plan wet food. He started to get diarrhea when I fed him the wet food. When I withdrew the wet food, his diarrhea went away. As soon as I reintroduce the wet food, his diarrhea returns. I can only assume the Pro Plan wet food is the culprit. I am going to return all of these cans to PetSmart as I am assuming it is a contaminated batch. I am wondering if anyone else has had experienced these adverse effects.

This company seems to be going down hill since the Menu Foods Incident - I cannot get a good food from them and I have tried several times with the result being sick pets! This time the doctor recommended their (wet and dry) urinary support formula pro plan focus and Friskies special diet as a less expensive alternative to prescription food. I slowly transitioned them over as told and still they had violent vomiting and bloody diarrhea until I transitioned them off of it! 858 complaints and growing is ridiculous! You would expect them to at least be more careful with special needs foods!! I saw user reviews before buying, but not this website! I guess I have to run consumer affairs searches to keep my pets safe? The Focus was bought at Petco and the Friskies at PetSmart on Black Friday. Sorry no receipt for the .39 can black friday Friskies Special Diet, but it was lamb and rice, chicken and gravy and turkey and gravy.

I have had my Sphinx cats, Nike and Tipper, on Pro Plan dry and wet cat food for roughly 7 years. About 3 months ago, I took them off the dry food as one of my cats was throwing up the dry food and the other had very soft stools. I continued with just the wet cat food and it seemed to resolve both issues, but something with the wet cat food must have changed. One of my cats would throw that up starting about 3 weeks ago time. Then on 8/18, my precious Tipper ate a can of the wet Pro Plan food and went into a severe asthmatic allergic reaction and died. Get your pets off this brand of cat food if you value their well-being.

I have been using Purina Pro plan cat and dog food for nine years now. Just a few days ago, I opened my usual case of Proplan Turkey and Rice cat food. Within a few hours, my cats are puking and having diarrhea. My one cat is actually in the hospital now for a possible pancreas infection. I really feel that I have had two healthy cats for nine years now and all of a sudden I open a new batch of food and they are both sick? Something is not right here. I hope and pray that my Tobie will be okay. I have trusted this brand of food for all the years I have had my cats. I would hope that Purina will have this batch tested as soon as possible in case a recall is needed. The batch number is 20091160l5dz60656, exp date of January 2014 purchased from PetSmart in Paramus, NJ.

Since the birth of our cats, they have been on the Purina Pro Plan canned foods. We never had a problem and we don’t mind paying a little more for a good quality with anything. The last couple of weeks, the cat and kitten are barely eating their food anymore and they normally eat it so fast like the world is coming to an end. The big cat (1 1/2 yrs old) started vomiting clear fluids. They have loss of appetite, horrendous breath and just yesterday, my adult cat threw up so bad he began choking to death due to his airways being clogged up from the vomit and mucus.

I have six inside cats. I've fed them each one 3 oz. can a day of Purina Pro Plan canned cat food, mostly the chicken and rice, turkey and rice and salmon and rice, all in gravy, for several years now. But a few weeks ago, all six of my cats all got really bad diarrhea for weeks, and some of them were throwing up too. I had to put throw rugs down all over my house because I was cleaning up many times a day because they could not make it to the litter box and they were throwing up a lot too. Also, there was blood in their stools. So, I switched to another canned food. I did nothing else. I did not switch their hard cat food which is another brand and organic and finally after weeks of my cats being sick, one by one, they all had hard stools again and stopped throwing up, so I know it was the Purina Pro Plan canned cat food.

I bought some cans of Purina Pro Plan Salmon and Rice. My cat threw up right after eating about an eighth of the can. She also throws up the Kit and Kaboodle a lot. I'm going to search for something else more natural.
