Purina Veterinary Diets Feline DM Dietetic Management Canned Cat
My Gizmo was diagnosed with diabetes in July and the Vet recommended teeth cleaning and dietary changes first then we will go the insulin route if necessary. So far so good. We bought the DM dry food to go along with the wet. He likes the dry when he has the urge to crunch but is hooked on the canned. I spoon out the canned food by the 1/4 of the can. I lid the rest and just give him more when he is ready for it. I keep the crunchy available. He goes thru 1/4 cup of the dry every couple days. He goes thru a can a day. The vet placed no restrictions on how much he can eat in a day so Gizmo is happy to eat to his hearts content. He is a very large tabby mix and was about 25 lbs before. (He was very athletic and was always catching birds and chasing the dog) He is now down to 18 lbs and it feels weird to pick him up. He had no problem eating this food and that was a worry because he would turn his nose up at anything other that the canned whitefish pate. I don't know what else to tell you about this product except it is working well so far for my cat. My only problem is the price but since the insulin treatments seem to be painfully high, I am glad that the diet modification is working for $2.00 "ish" a day. The hard food he liked also and crunches away happily. I hope you get the option to try diet modification first and that it will work for you also!
