I live with three cats, one of which has to be on a relatively pricey canned prescription diet for a urinary tract condition. The problem is, this very same cat (Fred) loves to gobble down anything he can find, especially leftovers from the other two. I've started feeding this to my other two cats that don't have the condition, as a preventative measure, and also to feel safe feeding them all at the same time and not having to worry if Fred picks up their scraps. I adopted him as an adult, and I think the people that had him as a kitten starved him or fed him a lot of "people food," as I've caught him eating the weirdest stuff -from pizza to sugar cookies to jalapenos. This also might explain why his system is a little messed up.
Frisky's also has a "Special Diet", which is cheaper and therefor probably not as good for kitties. I ordered that, too, just as a back-up if my other two wouldn't eat Proplan. I would say they all preferred ProPlan over Frisky's Special Diet (except Fred, who would gleefully scarf down hot garbage if he could get his paws on it). Cats like what they like, and my cats have slightly more expensive taste -again, except for Fred, who has quite an indiscriminate attitude towards food.
I spoke with the vet about possibly switching Fred from his prescription diet to ProPlan and they reassured me that this was a very good food for cats with urinary tract problems, too. Fred is the least picky cat I know when it comes to food, so I would only switch if cost because an issue. I love my cats and they have a great life with me, but there are very occasionally some months where I have to eat off-brand ramen so I can pay the bills....so sometimes my cats have to slum it with me. They are pretty good sports about it. :) I am planning to keep feeding this to my other two cats, with extras on hand for Fred if necessary.
The delivery option is GREAT to save on trips to the store, and you can "subscribe" and save a buck or so. If you do the math right (I didn't the first time, whoops), you can ensure the new palate arrives just as your little friends are polishing off the last couple cans. If you have prime, it even ships for free. Extremely convenient, cost effective, and perfect for the cat owner who would rather spend time at home with their cats than out running errands for them. I would highly recommend this product, especially with the subscription if you're kind of lazy and a home-body like me :)
Only negative thing I have to say: I just wish they came in bigger cans. I do recycle, but I feel that one large can would make less waste than two smaller cans. On the other hand, my fridge isn't full of half-full cans after the cats eat their breakfast....
