Purina One For Sensitive Stomachs

[lldaniels21]

Has anyone tried this food for your cat? As some of you know..Jenna has a a poop problem for the past month. The vet keeps thinking it is worms because her poop was runny. I finally thought maybe is was her food (Purina Cat Chow Complete) and decided to change it. I got her some @ the vet and her poop was formed harder the next day. I need to find something cheaper besides the stuff at the vet. He said Wal-Mart would have some. Any suggestions?? Thanks

I tried it because Ripley has a problem with throwing up easily. I didn't notice any change with him on the sensitive stomach food but he did better with Purina One Salmon and Rice. When he started having bladder infection I switched him to Purina One Urinary Care. He would still throw up but maybe a little less.

Now that I have several over weight cats I've gone to Nutro Complete Care Indoor Weight Management and every one is doing much better and hardly any vomit anymore - from anyone. Ripley still gets urinary care since he is in kidney failure but he loves the Nutro too.

Nutro isn't cheap but it's cheaper than what the vet sells plus the cats eat less of it so it last a little longer. The biggest benefits has been less poop in the litter box, it's always firm and doesn't hardly smell. Definitely worth the costs to me!

I recently changed my older cat to Purina, he too is a daily vomiter, I actually found the sensitive stomach one worse than the others, but of course it is really hard to tell as it could have been a pure coincident that he vomited straight after it, as he does with other food too, however he loves the Senior one and weight management one, i think he is doing well on it, but yes he still has the vomits, my vet told me she has a cat just like him, and nothing she tried or did made an ounce of difference, some cats are just like that, Ash has had his blood tests etc done and is fine otherwise.

I think it would not hurt to give it a go though, each cat is different, i know he loves the taste of them, i have completely got him off wet food apart from some red meat now and then, and he is a happy boy.

I've already given my opinion on Purina. I still think its utter crap. Many cats do fine on it. Then many don't. Sounds like you have one that doesn't. My guys won't touch it after being used to Nutro. I once got a bag of Purina from the rescue. I was low on Nutro and couldn't get to the store so I mixed in the Purina. My brats spat out each and every piece of the Cat Chow and left it sitting in the bowl, then they proceeded to scream for two hours for more food.

You can still give your cats good food at less money than the vets. A good food like Nutro Max will cost more per bag but seriously, but they'll eat less, AND you'll spend less in vet care. Go to Nutro's website and sign up, they'll send you a coupon book filled with $2 off coupons. Its on sale A LOT at Petsmart too.

Nutro fixed Skinny's tummy problems. We have our gang on the Nutro Weight Management and it works (they are all loosing weight). A 20 lb bag costs $26.99 at Petsmart and feeds our gang of 4 for 1 1/2 months.
They always have it on sale ($2 to $5 off).

Kim i hope you mean the Purina chat chow, as I find the Purina one very good, certainly not crap, I have seen a lot of animals fed on the cheaper brands and they do just fine, honestly i think way too much emphasis is put on certain brands, now that is just my opinion.

I had raven on Purina for a while, she didnt do well on it at all,she threw it up and eventually just stopped eating it..shes on Nutro now...im not too familar with what cat food brands are best though, my friends cat cant eat anything but meow mix, and he does just fine, while i know some other cats wont eat anything but the expensive stuff..i really dont know, im no expert when it comes to cat nutriton, sorry im no help
