Does anyone know Carbs in Purina Pro Plan (Critical Nutrition)

[Bear & Lora]

@Wendy&Neko
I can't find this on Dr Pierson's Chart.
Purina Pro Plan Veterinary Diets/ Critical Nutrition.
I am looking for what is on hand for steering Bear's BG.

 

[Bear & Lora]

I also have same brand EN Gastroenteric.
These were left over from when Bear had DKA.

 

[Gill & George]

From Dr Lisas list seems the CN (critical nutrition) is 9% carb, but this is the wet food version.
and the EN Naturals are 14% carbs Also the wet food version.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1qT8uMp21z5z7VFqt0m6PPfEUz9YmzMGMxkmcBk6uRR0/edit#gid=113878384
PURINA Pro Plan Veterinary Diets CN 28 63 9 249 "prescription" diet
PURINA Pro Plan Veterinary Diets EN Naturals 35 51 14 301

and from this other list also compiled by Dr Lisa http://catinfo.org/chart/index.php
PURINA - Pro Plan Veterinary Diets EN 39 44 17 278 "prescription" diet

Hope that helps

@Gill & George

Thanks Gill!
That really helps.
The file upload doesn't look like Dr Lisa's chart I was scouring through.
How ironic I have the OM but since it is Overweight Management I thought it would be lower in Carbs, lol.
The EN I have doesn't say naturals, maybe it is the EN 17%?

 

[Gill & George]

There are three recent(2017) versions of Dr Lisa's Charts that I am aware of
The two I linked above
and this one
https://catinfo.org/docs/CatFoodProteinFatCarbPhosphorusChart.pdf

I find the two above easier to search through.

I would imagine the EN is this one https://www.proplanveterinarydiets.com/products/en-gastroenteric-cat/

 

[Bear & Lora]

It is definitely this one at 20%.
Now the big question is will Bear find them appetizing enough to eat them.
Thank you.

It is definitely this one at 20%.

that 20% is gauranteed analysis, this is not the number that we use for determining the carb content, note it says 20% max gauranteed, it's not an accurate figure. Is it the dry?

Dr Lisa contacted all the manufacturers to get the as fed values and then worked out Carb content from calories. If it's this food (wet) that you are feeding then it's 17%, and would suspect that the actual carb content on the Dry is higher than that 20% figure that you are getting from the Purina site.

You are correct it is wet food.
I would only use dry in an emergency after all else has failed.
It is almost 5AM here and I am tired so I jumped the gun trying to figure the % so I could label the food and go to bed.
All is well in Bear land.

It's been a tough couple of days for you and Bear
17% then

I am glad Gill was able to help you. I go to bed earlier on rowing nights so wasn't up when you tagged me.
