- Schedule 1 Cage Rest
- Schedule 2 Surgery, Sepsis, Cancer, Trauma, Fever, Feline Hepatic Lipidosis

The following daily intakes are intended as a guide and should be adjusted as needed to achieve or maintain optimum body weight. Divide into 3 - 6 equal daily feedings to minimize gastrointestinal side effects. (1 can = 150 ml.)
A gradual transition to a new pet food is important to avoid digestive upset. To transition, mix your pet’s current food with the new food.

At the risk of sounding a little melodramatic... this food has been a life saver for a senior cat who's name is Furman. He is about 16 yrs. old and was nearly at death's door over the holidays with a flare-up of Feline Herpes, an abdominal abscess, dehydration and constipation. Once we got his congestion under control and he could smell this food he couldn't wait to devour it. Furman showed real signs of recovery within two days and is continuing to make significant progress on a/d. Our boy is back. Admittedly there were other meds and fluids involved in his recovery but he will stay on this food for at least another month or until he reaches and maintains a healthy weight.

I bought this online because it was the cheapest place I could find this very expensive food. When I received the case I but the entire thing in the cabinet. Every time I opened the cabinet I hear this awful smell and couldn't figure out where it was coming from (all cans were sealed) then the other night I opened a can to give him and it was rancid! it was a brand new sealed can and it was green and I immediately knew where the smell had been coming from! I opened another can and it was the exact same!

This is a nice option for my kitty going through chemo and losing weight. Surprising that she makes exception to the smooth pate texture, but the flavor seems to surpass that. Thankful for this.

My almost-20-year-old kitty has been dropping weight lately. He rips into this stuff like there is no tomorrow. Loves it. Eats 1/2 a can a.m. and p.m. by himself. Excellent creamy texture; smells strong, which interests him.

I have 2 cats. Like children they are have uniquely different personalities. Their only commonalities are being mature and finicky. What food one likes the other wont touch. They have been losing muscle mass along with some weight so after speaking with the vet we tried this Hills product. I rotated mixing it with their favorite wet or dry foods to get them to accept it. No problem! They are loving it, seem to be gaining weight and even some vomiting issues have lessened.

Unfortunately this food is for recovery for your animals. I will say, that it was very easy to buy and the person that I spoke with called my vet's office to get a prescription for the canned food. I'm having to feed my cat through an E-tube . The food is easy to mix with water and have the syringe ready for feeding for my little guy. It must be good because my other cat eats it right out of the can while I'm getting it ready for the other.

Rascal has several health issues and finding a food that he likes and agrees with him has been difficult. I am so thrilled that Ge loves this food, it agrees with him and Chewy is so quick to deliver it.

My dog quit eating after a surgery at the vet school. He wouldn't eat for two days. He was so skinny when I picked him up. He wouldn't eat his Rx z/d so I got some a/d from my vet. He gobbled this up. I ordered more of this from Chewy. He's gained all his weight back over two weeks on this. I'd recommend this to anyone who has a dog that won't eat.

My cat was ravenous about some free sample cans of Urgent Care a/d that my vet gave me, so I bought a case of it from Chewy. It came extremely fast with free shipping. Unfortunately, my cat lost her appetite for it and now can't stand it. But this certainly isn't Chewy's fault and I will use them again. (And honestly, it isn't Hill's fault either. My cat is old and finicky).
