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% |

Picky eater
By KatieKat on Apr 23, 2021
My cat is super picky but has digestion issues so it’s difficult to find a food that works for her. Normally she will not eat chicken products, but she actually likes this food. A lot! Even better than her Iams that she had eaten her whole life. It hasn’t currd her diarrhea, but I also haven’t found a canned option that she will eat that is for digestion. Once I do, then I will know if this food is worth the money.

Picky Kitties Agree
By JoMo on Apr 19, 2021
We have 3 picky 8-year old sibling kitties. They won't eat soft food. We have tried many times to venture away from the 2 brands of dry food they will eat without any success so we gave up. So the vet prescribed this food for our kitties for their digestive problems and I really thought "here's more $ wasted on something they will turn their noses up to". Wrong. They loved it and their other food is a distant memory.

Gassy Kitty Approved

Tinky's prescription food
By Tinky on Apr 7, 2021
This food required vet approval. I gave Chewy my vet's phone number when I placed my order. They got the approval the same day so there was no work on my side and no extra wait to receive my order. Thanks Chewy for making this easy peasy and for offering quality, prescription food for my fur baby!

No more vomiting
By FattyCat on Apr 11, 2021
My 12 year old cat had been vomiting in pain after eating, for quite awhile till the vet recommended the Hills Prescription I/D Digestive care. Soon after, most of all her vomiting had stopped and she even sits up to beg .... To let me know she wants more...She Loves the Food..!!! (But it is Expensive..I sure wish it wasn’t so much...)

Solved my cat’s digestive problems
By Leevje on Apr 8, 2021
Our 13 year old cat had been eating Hill’s Rx C/D for several years but recently developed digestive problems. After doing some research, our vet changed the Rx to I/D because it was more easily digestible. The cat seems to be doing really well now and the digestive problems are no longer an issue.

Hey, the cat will eat it!
By Brail on Feb 10, 2021
My cat, at 13, was diagnosed with either intestinal cancer or IBD. He lost a lot of weight and recently, his stools were grayish, runny and smelly. Hoping for IBD, my vet put him on prednisolone and prescribed Hills I/d as it is supposedly easier to digest. I’m not a real fan of chicken and it does contain corn, but the cat eats it, so I’m pleased. I’m surprised since he refuses so much else - won’t even touch wet food. After looking at the ingredients, I’m not sure why it has to be vet-prescribed, but there it is. His stools are much better and he is also eating a bit better. I am feeding him wet food with a syringe and it may be the prednisolone that is helping, but I am satisfied with My cat, at 13, was diagnosed with either intestinal cancer or IBD.

She Loves It!
By Jazz on Apr 10, 2021
Jazz, who turned 15 this week, loves this kibble. There was very little transition time from her previous one. And all her digestive issues calmed down. We're both happy!
