Best Veterinary Diet Cat Food of 2025

"This new low carb, high protein cat food seems to agree with my cat. She goes longer between feedings and I had no issues switching from her previous brand."

"My cat really enjoys the flavor of this food; she almost prefers it over what I used to feed her. It's truly a winner in my house!"

"My diabetic kitty Taz absolutely LOVES this food, along with the matching wet food! I'm grateful my vet recommended it, and the bag size is just right—not too big and not too small. While it is a bit expensive, if it keeps her healthy longer, it's worth it. I do wish the bags were resealable, but we manage just fine with a clip."

"I adopted Salem, who was picky about kibble, but he took to Blue Buffalo 'Sensitive Stomach' formula right away. After some issues with hairballs, I switched him to Blue Buffalo 'Hairball Control' with added psyllium husk fiber, and he transitioned easily. Now, even with chronic kidney disease, he's happy eating their K&M kibble. Yes, it's pricier, but at least he'll eat the prescription diet!"

"For my 17-year-old cat, I found that the Blue Buffalo recipe is far more tolerable for her stomach compared to Science Diet. She seems to be doing well on it."

"I did extensive research before choosing a food for my 16-year-old sisters who are in early stages of kidney disease. This food came highly recommended, and I appreciate that it's for kidneys and mobility. They've been enjoying it, and I've noticed them feeling better—one even started sprinting around the house! The only issue is the resealable zipper, which is a bit faulty, but I can still close it."

"My kittly loves this food, and I don't have to worry about upset stomach issues. Excellent product!"

"I decided to try Blue Buffalo despite bad reviews, and I'm glad I did. My cats love it, and it's helped reduce their vomiting and diarrhea. My older cat is gaining weight again!"

"This food is a bit pricey, but it’s worth it for my cat with food allergies. It’s the only brand I trust that has natural ingredients."

"I was advised by my vet to try this because my cat has FIC, and it has truly made a difference. After about three weeks, I noticed he was eating, peeing, and pooping normally again, and he has so much more energy now. I've ordered a second case, and he loves it, eating almost half a can daily!"

"I'm always on the lookout for good alternatives to prescription urinary food for my cats. After my male cat had two blockages, I needed something he would enjoy. This food is perfect since it’s gravy and morsel type. He absolutely loves it! I just received my second order, and all three of my cats are fans!"

"My cat had been urinating blood and struggling to go. After starting this product, he has not had any issues since! It’s been a huge relief for me."

"I adopted a skinny cat who struggled with profuse diarrhea. After trying various foods, I found this product on Amazon, and within three days, her diarrhea was completely gone. Now, she has developed a sensitivity to certain foods, but switching back to this hydrolyzed formula cleared up her coughing and sneezing. This food is vital for her health."

"My 5-month-old Bengal kitten was on Orijen dry food but started having severe diarrhea that required an overnight vet stay. After trying antibiotics, the vet suggested this hypoallergenic food. Within two weeks, his diarrhea resolved, and I plan to continue this diet as it has worked wonders for him."

"Despite trying multiple foods, my Siamese-mix had painful cat acne. After my vet recommended this hypoallergenic mix, it cleared up almost immediately. We’ve been using it for two years, and his acne hasn’t returned. He loves the taste, and it hasn’t affected his bowel movements at all!"

"I dislike buying this cat food because it feels expensive. However, it has improved my cat's urination, and he seems less bloated now. The smell isn't great, but I recognize he really needs it."

"Initially, my cats wouldn’t touch the Science Diet, but thankfully my vet recommended this. They love it and eat it without hesitation!"

"My cat requires this prescription food after his urethrostomy. He loves it and has had no urinary issues since starting it. The price is reasonable compared to other brands, making it the best choice for us."

“I have two cats, and one has a history of UTIs. Since switching to this diet prescribed by the vet, the frequency of her UTIs has significantly decreased, and she hasn’t had any accidents outside the litter box for over a year. My other cat, who is a picky eater, will choose this dry food over her wet food, which indicates it tastes good. The vet approval process was quick and easy, and I appreciate the convenient packaging. Although it is fairly expensive, it keeps my cat healthy and saves my furniture.”

“My kitty has severe urinary issues, and since he started eating this food, there have been no problems at all. My other cat has a sensitive stomach, but this food doesn’t seem to bother him much.”

“Moving to Hawaii made it difficult to get my cats' regular food, but thankfully, this prescription diet was available on Amazon. One of my cats is extremely picky, but he decided to eat this! I’m so relieved, and it arrived quickly just in time for our move.”

"After my cat's bladder blockage, I switched to this food. Surprisingly, he loves the fish flavor but only nibbles the chicken. He gets the dry formula during the day and this as a bedtime snack. Since starting this, he hasn’t had any bladder issues, which is a relief. The cost is high, but it’s worth avoiding another emergency vet trip. I do wish the cans weren’t dented, though!"

"I subscribed to this food because my cat was put on a special diet. He’s been on it for about two months and still enjoys it. This food is meant to help prevent crystals in his urine. I can see the quality difference compared to other wet foods. While I can’t confirm if the crystals are gone until we get an x-ray, he loves it and I’m happy with it, although it is a bit expensive."

"This is usually a great product, but my last order was dry and lacking the gravy it usually has. My cat still eats it all, but I expect better consistency."

"As a vet, I appreciate that this food is suitable for both kittens and adult cats. It's perfect for my indoor male cats and supports their urinary health. Plus, it's gentle on their tummies, making it easier to transition any new cats into our home. My cats really enjoy it!"

"I love feeding this to my cats! It's very palatable, and I can see they enjoy both the dry and canned versions. It gives me peace of mind knowing it's appropriate for their dietary needs."

"I started buying this cat food recommended by my vet for my girl kitty who has some calcium deposits. She loves it. This food is really meaty, you can smell the meat. I also feed it to my boy kitty who needs to lose weight, and it’s a weight loss product. Both my kitties enjoy it, and since I started feeding them this food, their coats have improved, becoming silky and fuller."

"My cat almost died from a stone in his urethra, which is very common in cats. The food my vet recommended was too hard for my older cat, but Blue Buffalo's formula has everything he needs: urinary tract support, grain-free, and easier to chew. I find it really hard to locate this cat food elsewhere aside from Amazon."

"My stone-prone kitty used to eat Royal Canin's Urinary SO, but after they changed the formula, he was frequently vomiting. After searching for better options, we settled on Blue Buffalo. He eagerly awaits these kibbles and even skillfully picks the 'LifeSource' nutrient bits out of the food. Overall, we are satisfied customers and will update after the next vet visit!"
