This is the best cat food ever a great price too.
My cat was a little overweight (a couple of pounds) and was having problems with hair balls. She has lost some weight and I do not have to clean up hair balls any more YEAH.
My cat`s coat is shiny and soft as silk. I highly recommend this product because it cheaper than buying one bag of weight formula and one bag of hair ball formula.
I buy 6 pack of food every 6 months so it equals to about $7 a month on cat food.
For this high quality cat food Amazon has the best price. I give 5 stars to Amazon and the Purina One Cat Food Hairball & Healthy Weight Formula.

We could not find this product in our local stores, (We tried six different stores including 2 super market chains, 3 walmarts, and 2 pet stores.) so we had to order it here. This is the only dry food product that our aging cats will eat without puking it up. (They still puke some of it up, but they can keep most of it down.)

This used to be one of the relatively few "urinary tract" formulas out there that my cat could stomach AND was readily available at most super markets but since the recent formula change, he has been throwing up nearly every day and has started turning his nose to it. It's pretty awful and kind of scary to see him lose half of his "nourishment" every day of late. This was something he had been eating every year for the last decade (half mixed with a high-end catfood that is only meat and poultry and none of the grains and corn crap that is so bad for humans and completely counter to what cats naturally eat!). So now I am at a loss. I wish there was a grocer's catfood out there on the store shelves that is all meat and poultry, no sugars, no grains and no corn and has the urinary tract ingredients for these little creatures that have this problem. I wonder if just feeding him the food he would be eating in the wild would change things around--even for the urinary tract complications...anyway, the Purina Urinary Tract Formula is no longer any good.

Our cat requires food that is formulated to go easy on the urinary tract. Purina One has served that purpose for years. Unfortunately, Purina One is difficult to find in stores now. However, Amazon still carries it and is competative on the price. Throw in the fact that Amazon delivers right to my door and I can't figure out why I was looking for this stuff in the retail stores in the first place.

My cat is 10 years old and he used to get UTI's ALL the time(like every few months) not only was his vet bills expensive, I hated that he was in pain. I used the very expensive food I bought from the vet for cats who get lots of UTI's but since I am not Donald Trump I decided to give the Purina One Urinary Tract food a try. For years my cat didn't have a single UTI so one day at the store when they were out of the Purina One, I decided to give a cheaper Urinary Tract cat food a try. Within a month my cat was whining in the litter box and I knew he had another UTI. I took him to the Vet and sure enough, he had another UTI.

I immediately went to the store and bought him Purina One Urinary Tract and that is what he has been on ever since. I will NEVER again try a different brand of cat food, that was over 4 years ago since I tried the cheaper cat food and he hasn't had a single UTI since. My cat LOVES his food, he is very picky but thankfully he loves his UTI formula.

If you have a cat who gets UTI's I totally recommend giving this food a try. It costs more than the cheaper food but what it saves me in vet bills and having a happy & healthy Kitty is well worth it : )

Its been almost a month since I switched my two cats over from Meow Mix to Purina Sensitive System. Both of them love it, and the older of the two cats has significantly vomited less after eating this food.

I came to realize the poor quality of ingredients in Meow Mix, and hoped to find a better quality food for a good price, but its no surprise to me that even a good bag of dry cat food has some undesirable ingredients (corn gluten meal, chicken by-product, etc.) and its almost impossible to find anything of high quality without those ingredients and still be paying a decent price for it. The 3.5 lb bags I get at Target are about $6.00. Not too expensive, and the bag lasts my two cats a little over a month.

Although Purina Sensitive Systems isn't the best ever, its not the poorest either. It falls just in the middle, and I'd recommend it to those who can only afford an inexpensive dry cat food, but with better quality than the cheaper Meow Mix brands.

I have two cats with chronic problems. Marci had chronic diarrhea. I took her to the Texas A&M pet clinic. Several tests were run to identify the cause. None of the tests results identified any problems. After I switched to Purina One, her diarrhea cleared with no recurring problems.

My other cat, Beauty-Bells, suffered from recurring urinary tract infections. She has not one since eating Purina One. I have not had to buy the formula for urinary tract infections. The regular Purina One formulas have been sufficient.

Being on a tight budget with 8 cats, I had long hesitated to switch to food that is so much more expensive. My cats actually eat less. They are also much healthier with shiny, soft coats and more energy. I switched 3 kittens to Purina one and the differences in health were obvious much quicker than with the older cats. I keep threatening to put them on cheaper food because they are tearing up my house with all the energy they have! Of course, I them to much to do that!

The switch has been well worth it. Being so happy and amazed with results, I don't think I'll ever feed them anything else.

We recently took in a cat that could not keep any food down. She would throw up multiple times a day, usually within an hour or so of eating. We thought she may be overeating, so we limited how much food we gave her, we tried to spread out the food to force her to breath and chew between pieces. We tried many different foods, including multiple foods recommended by the vet. After a lot of money spent on vet visits and tests, with the vet finding nothing wrong with her, I saw this food and figured trying a food for sensitive systems couldn't hurt.

We'd already tried other Purina One formulas without success, so we weren't particularly optimistic, but hopeful. Our cat has been eating this for about two or three weeks now and she has not thrown up at all. I love this food, it was hard to watch her throw up so much, and, frankly, it wasn't pleasant cleaning it up so frequently. I'm glad I found this and fully recommend it to anyone with a cat with similar problems keeping food down.

I have two cats. They have eaten Purina One for six years now. Their coats are shiny and they both look healthy and have lots of energy. They are both eleven years old. I started feeding them Purina One because the first ingredient on the label was chicken. There are also no artificial colors or flavors and unlike some pet foods it is manufactured in the United States. Those are enough reasons for me to choose this particular food. I think that even though Purina One is not the best of the best of cat foods, it is a good value for the price, and the cats love it. My male kitty will not eat anything else. A tip for anyone just introducing a new food to your kitty: Introduce the food slowly by mixing just a little of the new food with the old food. Increase the amount each time you feed the kitty eventually eliminating the quantity of the previous food. This will help to alleviate any stomach upset that your kitty may experience from a new food.

I have a very picky older cat. She is probably extra picky because she's old and has trouble digesting some cat foods. This one though is her favorite dry food. She begs for it and waits by her bowl one hour before dinner. My other cat also gets very excited about this food. I've found with other foods that they get occasional hairballs, but with this one it's a very rare occasion for either of them to have a hairball- maybe once a year. Previously when I fed them the cute cat foods (like Meow Mix) half of the food would stay in the bowl and the older cat was particularly adept at separating out the shapes she didn't like.

Although the price on Amazon is very competitive to buying single bags at the grocery store, I found that the 16 pound bag at Pet Smart goes on sale for $18.99 and the last bag I bought included a $5 Pet Smart gift card. If I only had one cat though I would definitely buy from Amazon for the convenience factor and the price is competitive with Tar get and other grocers.

Both of my cats got shinier coats as well since making the switch to Purina One a few years ago. There are several formulas (in addition to this one) to meet your particular cats needs:
