Compare Purina Pro Plan Veterinary Diets with every other brand in the cat food calorie database, or turn your vet's daily kcal target into cans, cups and grams with the cat food kcal converter. Because these are prescription foods, start from the daily calories your vet gave you, not a weight-based estimate.

Notes for Purina Pro Plan Veterinary Diets owners
Purina Pro Plan Veterinary Diets are prescription foods sold through vets. Each formula in Purina's product guide lists its calorie content in kcal/kg plus kcal per 8 oz cup for dry food or per 5.5 oz can for wet food. Calorie density varies a lot between formulas because each is built for a different condition.
Take a cat whose vet target is 200 kcal a day, fed only dry food. With DH Dental Health Feline Formula (279 kcal/cup) that is about 0.72 cups a day. With EN Gastroenteric Feline Dry Formula (546 kcal/cup) it drops to 0.37 cups. Swapping formulas without re-measuring changes intake by about 96%.
Take a cat whose vet target is 200 kcal a day, fed only wet food. With OM Savory Selects Overweight Management Feline Formula With Chicken In Sauce (113 kcal per can) that is about 1.8 cans a day. With CN Critical Nutrition Canine & Feline Formula (206 kcal per can) it is about 1.0. The difference between the lightest and richest recipe is 82% per can.
- Weight-loss formulas (OM Overweight Management) are at the low end: about 285 kcal per cup dry and 113 to 116 kcal per 5.5 oz can. Kidney (NF) and gastrointestinal (EN, DM) dry formulas run close to double that per cup, so never swap one prescription food for another cup for cup.
- Your vet sets the daily calories for a cat on a therapeutic diet, often below the usual estimate. Enter that number in the kcal converter rather than using a weight-based calculator result.
- CN Critical Nutrition is a recovery food for cats and dogs and is usually fed only for a short time under close supervision.
How we collect these numbers
These figures come from the calorie lines in Purina's own Pro Plan Veterinary Diets 2024 product guide (a PDF on proplanvet.com). We copied each figure by hand, checked it against the PDF, and link the exact page. Treats in the guide are left out because they aren't complete meals. We keep a figure only if kcal/kg and kcal per serving agree with each other (they must imply a normal cup weight or can size) and fall inside the usual range: 3,000–4,700 kcal/kg for dry food and 600–1,600 kcal/kg for wet food. Anything that doesn't add up goes to a manual review list instead of this page.
