Manufacturer
The manufacturer of Pro Plan food is Nestle Purina PetCare Company.
It has existed for more than 80 years, and currently its team consists of approximately 18,000 employees and several hundred scientists. And it all started with horse meat. Yes, yes, ordinary horse meat! Horses that died of old age (or for other reasons) were fed to dogs, and a little later - in 1860 - the American James Spratt began producing the first commercial food.
The first company was founded in 1894: it was renamed several times, expanded, and production was modernized. Eventually the Nestle Purina PetCare Company was formed.
The head office was made in St. Louis, America, and the divisions were “scattered” all over the world: Oceania, Australia, Africa, Asia, Europe...
Manufacturers assure that in their work they are guided exclusively by the interests of animals and work for their benefit. Experts in the field of nutrition, veterinary medicine, formulation developers and even animal psychologists are involved in the work.
About the Kitten Plan
1. Promotes the proper functioning of the digestive system and prevents the possibility of eating disorders: whey contained in the food ensures the normal functioning of the gastrointestinal tract and the balance of the intestinal environment;
2. Ensures healthy brain formation and develops vision: nutrition contains the necessary microelements and vitamins C and D, docosahexaenoic acid, which together affects the optimal development of the whole organism;
3. Promotes normal bone growth and muscle formation: a balanced selection of trace elements and minerals, a high level of protein in the feed ensures the proper formation of the skeletal and muscle systems;
4. Strengthens the kitten’s immunity: colostrum, which is part of Pro Plan, is one of the main sources of immunoglobulin and protects the entire immune system of the growing kitten;
5. Suitable for sterilized cats and neutered kittens: the composition of carbohydrates and fats contained in the food fully complies with the standards, which vary depending on the age of the pet. Based on established standards, a kitten that is 6–12 weeks old from birth needs 20–80 grams of food per day; 12 – 26 weeks – 60 – 100 grams; from 26 to 52 weeks – 100 – 150 grams.
Of course, the ideal food for a small kitten is mother's milk, however, already at the age of 3-4 weeks, the kitten begins to show interest in solid food. Therefore, already at this age, you should gradually accustom him to the Pro Plan. At first, you can slightly moisten the dry food with warm water (calculate the rate of 1 to 3). Then, as the kitten grows, move from mother's milk to solid food, which will avoid some problems with the digestive tract. At the same time, it is necessary to take into account the fact that food for the kitten should always be available. After making sure that the animal’s body receives all the necessary substances and vitamins, you need to begin to control the amount of food based on the kitten’s activity level and its physical condition. An animal that constantly eats dry food should have free access to clean, fresh water. The water must be constantly changed, since kittens will not drink water that has been standing in a bowl for some time, but the need for liquid remains. All these nuances should be taken into account by the owner when feeding kittens with Pro Plan solid food.
By following all of the above recommendations, kittens who constantly eat Pro Plan Kitten food are highly active, in excellent mood, have strong immunity, good health and ideal coat condition.

Nestle Purina nutritionists recommend and offer different types of food, depending on each specific case. So, for example, if an animal is overweight, then it is better to choose a diet that will include a large amount of nutrients for the intestines, but the fat content will be minimal.
If, however, the kitten begins to exhibit an allergic reaction, then you can choose food modified with hypoallergenic substances, which will solve this problem and return the pet the joy of a full life.
It happens that an animal suffers from certain diseases (gastrointestinal tract and kidneys, diabetes, cardiopathology), then in this case experts have developed a medicinal food Purina Pro Plan.

ProPlan food for cats - reviews
Review of ProPlan food for kittens , writes Nina. When we got a kitten, I immediately started looking on the Internet for what to feed him. Everywhere they wrote that until the age of six months it is better to feed only natural food, and that’s what I did. By the way, I found what you can and cannot feed a kitten on this site in the article “What to feed a kitten.” Then the kitten turned half a year old and decided to accustom him to food. You can’t afford the most expensive holistic treatments, but you can’t poison a kitten with Kitikat or Whiskas.
After reading several articles and reviews, I decided to try Purina Pro Plan food for kittens. I read that sometimes the products present in it cause allergies, but, fortunately, this did not happen to our cat. We also feed him regular homemade food, and when no one is home, we leave him with dry food.
I read that it is better not to mix homemade food with ready-made food, but to feed one thing at a time. But a veterinarian friend said that there was nothing wrong with it. Moreover, if the food is not of the highest quality, then it is better not to feed it unnecessarily. And ProPlan is of average quality, at least that’s what a friend said, and that’s how one can judge it as a premium food.
Review of Pro Plan food, writes Elena. We fed our cat this food for almost half a year. At first everything was fine, but over time the cat began to eat less and showed less and less activity. It got to the point where I almost stopped eating altogether and lay there all day. They took him to the vet. The cat was given an injection and put on an IV. The veterinarian said that the reason was in the food - it was too fatty and the liver could not cope. He also said that food often becomes the reason for visits to him and that even the best food causes problems. That is, the reason here is not only in the food, but also in the individuality of our cat. And yet, now we feed him better and slightly more expensive food.
Review of ProPlan food, writes Karina. I have been feeding my pet food for neutered cats for over a year now. ProPlan was recommended by the clinic. I feed not only dry, but also wet. Therefore, it is sold out little by little - up to four large (3 kg) packages per year. So far, there have been no problems with either digestion or going to the toilet. Although sometimes there are problems with digestion due to something else - wool. My cat is a Turkish Angora breed, so sometimes you can comb the fur of one more cat at a time
