About
Scientists at Purina have developed a revolutionary approach to the management of cat allergens. It has resulted in the launch of Pro Plan® LiveClear®, the first and only cat food that reduces the allergens on cat hair and dander.

This scientific breakthrough is the culmination of more than a decade of Purina research dedicated to finding a safe, effective and feline-friendly way to address a problem that impacts as many as one in five adults –and countless cat-owning households worldwide, limiting the amount of interactions that owners share with the cats they love.
