Efficient digestion is essential for your cat to be able to build and repair tissues and obtain energy, and for these reasons, it is important to feed a food that is formulated to help support digestive health.

Pets can be sensitive to sudden changes in their diets. For this reason, it is extremely important to follow a gradual transition plan to best support your pet's health and product effectiveness. It is recommended to follow at least a 7-day transition plan before exclusively feeding your pet a new food. Cats will often refuse mixed diets, so we recommend adding the new food to a separate bowl from the old food. Start by mixing 75% of your pet's current diet with 25% of the new diet on Day 1 and Day 2. On Day 3 and Day 4, mix 50% of the current diet with 50% of the new diet. On Day 5 and Day 6, mix 25% of the current diet with 75% of the new diet. On Day 7, you can feed your pet the new food exclusively. Ask your Veterinarian about the best way to transition your pet to a new food.
| Transition Day | Current Diet | New Diet |
|---|---|---|
| Days 1-2 | 75% | 25% |
| Days 3-4 | 50% | 50% |
| Days 5-6 | 25% | 75% |
| Day 7 | 0% | 100% |

All 7 cats love it!
By MJPMaryland on Nov 29, 2021
In consultation with our vet, we decided to feed this kibble to all 7 cats (only our Chewy, who has a malabsorption condition, requires this formula). And yes, it is expensive for all 7, but much less stressful on us in the long run. And we do see a difference -- fewer stools, less hungry (especially Chewy, named by the Humane Society by the way!).

Picky cat does not tire of this
By yappyhome on Nov 11, 2021
I have a very picky senior cat and she absolutely loves this food. She greatly prefers this prescription diet option in the dry version over the wet version. She was OK with trying the canned food variety but got tired of it quickly which is surprising because she can be a huge fan of certain wet foods.

Helps digestive issues
By SusieQ on Sep 19, 2021
My cat Oliver was having diarrhea and the vet prescribed this. My cats had been on Sensitive Stomach dry food from another brand. This Hill's Diet helped him out, and better yet, he liked it! Another cat, Cleo, is an indoor cat but kept wanting to go outside and eat grass. I felt there was something missing from her diet. (She will not eat canned food no matter what brand or flavor.) Thought I would try this for her and she also liked it and she stopped asking to go outside. No more eating grass. She is often constipated (maybe not drinking enough water) and this also seemed to get her to drink more water too. Vet ultimately said if she likes it she can stay on it, but Miralax would My cat Oliver was having diarrhea and the vet prescribed this.

Vet ultimately said if she likes it she can stay on it, but Miralax would help her constipation. Got Miralax generic and mix that with her water and she is doing fine on all counts. The dry food is in larger pieces than the Sensitive Stomach food was, and she is 16 years old, so I smashed it a little and still give her the option of eating the old Sensitive Stomach food too. She prefers the Hill's Diet, but will nibble occasionally at the old brand. I may look for non-script Hills Diet for older cats to see if they offer smaller pieces than the prescription digestive care. Happy customer! … more

Using Chewy is so easy
By Carol on Oct 30, 2021
I used to run all over to various vet offices looking for someone who had my cat's special food in stock. I thought Chewy would be more expensive...but they're not. They filled my order, including getting the vet's approval, in 3 days!

My cat loved it and she stopped vomiting immediately
By Howard on Aug 24, 2021
I must say I was doubtful. My cat was vomiting everywhere daily and had loose stool. She also totally removed herself and was only spending 15 minutes a day with me. This is highly unusual for a persian. She was hurting and I took her to the vet. After some kitty prednisone (they can't do human. Prednisone) and a switch to feline dry i/d, everything began to stop day 1. In addition She LOVED the feline I/D. as soon as I dropped the food bowl Her face was in it chowing down the I/D She loved it and it solved her digestive issues. I highly recommend!

a little bland
By Marco on Aug 26, 2021
Marco had digestive problems and the vet gave me prescription for Hills ID food. Although my cat tolerates this, he does not like it. I worry that he does not get enough to eat, so I supplement it with the chicken pate which he seems to love. Could you make this food be not so bland. I don't like to give him canned food all the time.
