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% |

This food REALLY works
By xrayaunie on Dec 25, 2020 Top 500 Contributor
My 12 year old cat was recently diagnosed with IBD/possible low grade lymphoma. He always had a sensitive stomach, but was vomiting, had diarrhea, and was losing weight over the past 6 months, even on high quality grain free kibble. It was absolutely heartbreaking and stressful watching him suffer. I thought I was losing him. The vet suggested Hill's I/D along with some steroids to help his symptoms. I had some reservations about this food and the ingredients, but was desperate and had nothing to lose. After only a week, he was symptom free. It has now been 3 weeks, no vomit, no diarrhea, and he has some pep in his step! He is also having solid, non-smelly BM's, which has not happened My 12 year old cat was recently diagnosed with IBD/possible low grade lymphoma.

I am so happy to have my little man feeling better and glad I took a chance with Hill's I/D. He only eats dry food, so this is what works and what we are staying with for his quality of life. … more

It really does work
By Morin on Jan 4, 2021
My vet recommended this product for my cat who has a very sensitive stomach and pukes up almost all brands of food. This cut the puking down significantly for a few months. However, if you have a more wild breed like my cat and the puking starts again try wet food. I now buy this exact food but the wet version and she has not puked once in two weeks (which is impressive).

Can't have too much of this food
By TripleL on Nov 27, 2020
I don't know what ingredient is in this cat food that makes my cat go crazy over food but it does the job. My 6 year old female Siamese was brought up on nothing but canned cat food and table scrap leftovers. She has known nothing but wet food until I gave her this food. I tried this food on my friend's recommendation when my cat became sick. Sophie became ill and would not eat her favorite foods. The vet could not find a cause so I forced fed her protein gel supplement. My friend suggested I try this food - what did I have to lose. Lo and behold, Sophie not only ate the food but she just couldn't get enough of it. Ever since, I have traded off feeding her wet cat food and this food I don't know what ingredient is in this cat food that makes my cat go crazy over food but it does the job.

Good but too pricey
By Sharon on Jan 3, 2021
My cat likes Hill's Prescription Diet i/d digestive care dry cat food and it seems to agree with her sensitive stomach, but it is much too expensive. I'll be shopping around for something similar at a more reasonable price.

Great and fresh
By Sassym on Dec 29, 2020
My cat loves this. Super fast delivery as always. As my vet only stocks the larger bag, I prefer the 4lb bag for just 1 cat. This dry food is a supplement to her canned prescription food. She thinks this dry food is a treat!

LIFE sAVER
By bESTFRIEND on Dec 15, 2020
`my cat developed pancreatitis, and had to be fed by IV to prevent vomiting. My vet suggested Hills i/d. When I gave him the wet food, he hated it and refused to eat it. He loves dry i/d and is now a very senior and frisky feral feline.

Great for cats with IBD
By JoeTheCat on Nov 28, 2020
My cat has inflamed bowel disease, so he frequently has diarrhea and gas. He is seeing a new vet and she recommended Hill's Prescription Diet i/d. I got both the canned and the dry i/d and he loves both! His bowel movements have also begun to firm up. He has more energy and seems more content.

Works well!
By Catmama on Jan 1, 2021
My kitten had out of control diarrhea. Several trips to the vet and medication didn’t help. Got her to order this food and it has helped tremendously and he loves it!
