FEEDING FOR ADULT MAINTENANCE
It is important that you feed Pro Plan to your adult cat "free choice" throughout the day, rather than as just a single feeding only at mealtime. Food intake required to maintain ideal body condition will vary, depending on age, activity and environment. Watch your cat's weight and adjust food amounts accordingly. If you have a kitten, or a pregnant or nursing cat, you should continue feeding Pro Plan Kitten Chicken & Rice Formula.
MAKING THE SWITCH TO PRO PLAN
Although you'll be anxious to see the difference Pro Plan can make in your cat, please allow 7 - 10 days to ease the transition from your cat's current food. Each day, simply feed a little less of the previous food and a little more Pro Plan until you're feeding Pro Plan exclusively. This gradual transition will help avoid dietary upsets.
FEED PRO PLAN PRIME PLUS ADULT 7+ CHICKEN & RICE
For maximum benefit, feed this product exclusively or mix with any of the flavors of Pro Plan Prime Plus Classics Wet Entrées Adult 7+ cat food. When feeding Prime Plus dry only, please refer to the feeding chart for recommended daily amounts based on your cat’s body weight. When feeding dry and wet Prime Plus together, decrease the daily amount of dry Prime Plus by 1/4 cup for every 3 oz. can of wet Prime Plus offered. Adjust as needed to maintain your cat's ideal body condition and avoid excess weight gain. Divide total daily amount into 2 or more meals.
Provide adequate fresh water in a clean container daily.
For your pet’s health, see your veterinarian regularly.

I recently tried this for my newly senior kitty. I was a little nervous when I saw the dry food because it doesn't look as tasty (to me, I'm sure my cat doesn't mind what it looks like) as other purina foods do, however she loved it and ate it just as well as her previous dry food. Canned food is important to give cats, especially senior cats, since it provides extra protein and moisture to their diet. My cat loved the canned food that complements this dry food. I think she ate it better than the chicken and rice pro plan canned that she typically eats.
I appreciate that purina is backed up by research unlike many other pet food companies. They stake their claims on actual research and studies, not hypothetical information that they hope to be true or a statement that sounds nice on a bag of pet food. This new line of cat food is no different. I plan to switch to this food for my senior cat and would recommend it to others with senior cats as well.
I was provided a sample in exchange for my opinion. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
As a veterinarian, I have recommended ProPlan for my patients for years. I trust the brand and the science behind the products, which is why I have fed my own animals ProPlan for over 10 years now. My cats love the ProPlan savor dry cat food, but they prefer Prime Plus over the chicken and rice they have been eating. I can feel good knowing that I'm offering a product to my middle aged cats that has solid science behind it. I'll be switching my cats over to Prime Plus. Disclosure: I received a sample of this product in exchange for a fair and honest review. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
I bought this new Pro Plan PrimePlus for cats about 5-6 days ago. My cat is only 6yrs old, but I also take care of my mom's cats: 2 from same litter are almost 12yrs old and the other cat which was a stray is going to turn 9yrs old. With the difference of their tastes & ages & backgrounds, I think this is their favorite dry food by far! Especially, since they all ate different kinds prior to me seeing this when I went to a Petco next to my work. I almost walked by it, but when I saw that it had a 9yr study and it was Chicken & Rice~ I decided to try it and, honestly, I hoped that at least one of them would eat it! Imagine how happy I am that they all seem to like it~ a lot! I know that not everyone is able to afford it~ including me~ however, I will be buying it as often as I can in order to keep my cat & mom's cats HAPPY!! :) Thanks for this great product!! <3
I have 2 geriatric cats that are very finicky about food. They have both been eating the prime plus readily for the past month. Both cats have a better haircoat and seem more energetic since switching diets. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
I bought my first bag as soon as I saw it on the store shelves about 8 wks ago. We are on our second bag, and it might be wishful thinking but our 15 yr old crabby old lady is more active, engaging and moving better. She has gained a little weight and eats the food exceptionally well.
My cousin actually uses this product, sent her the cat kit that was offered, the samples were enjoyed by Lola the cat so much that her owner wanted to purchase a full on bag, the best part was that Lola is not puking anymore, she had been having these bouts of vomit after eating her "other food" not daily but enough to notice, thought maybe a hairball situation. but after an entire week of eating the new food and noticing no more vomit, we consider it a success! and let me tell you, my cousin is hard to get to change anything especially when it comes to her cat lol so the fact that she went on to buy a bag speaks volumes. thanks yall
I tried a free sample, and all my cats love it, even my picky feline. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
We recieved the clinic sample of the dry and can Prime Plus. Our clinic cat CC really enjoyed all of it so much that I purchased it for her and my personal cats. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
I can't say enough about this product. My cat is trimming down nicely.
We bought this for our 12 year old cat. We truly thought his days were numbered. This food brought him back to life. He wants to play and he is back to being in great health. This product is worth every penny. I wish it was not so expensive.
