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. Over 7 days, gradually decrease the amount of the current pet food while increasing the amount of new pet food. In some cases, your veterinarian may recommend no transition or a shorter transition time.

Prescription Cat Food
By Dawgbyte on Apr 19, 2020
When I finally talked my Vet into writing the prescription for Science Diet ID cat food for my cat that she needs. I just made it automatic for Chewy's to send me a bag every month. Now I don't have to worry about my vet not having it and I received a discount for the auto order. Nice!

Helped resolve my kitten's gut issues
By ParkersMom on Mar 3, 2020
My rescue kitten was happily consuming another brand of kitten dry food when after 5 months she started having gut issues. Started with intermittent loose stools, then it turned out she had roundworms again (the first time was when I rescued her at 7 weeks). We treated her for that (and now give her heartworm chews, which also take care of roundworms) and she had good poops for about 2 weeks, then right back to loose stools, sometimes full blown diarrhea. Tested her for worms again and it was negative. Canned pumpkin didn't help, neither did a bland diet. The vet suggested to switch her food to Hill's i/d and also gave a weekly B-12 injection for 4 weeks in December 2019.

It's now 3 full months that she's been eating this food and she's maintaining a healthy gut. I just wish it came in a larger bag than 8lbs. … more

Great return service
By Randy on Mar 19, 2020
We ordered hills prescription diet and found out it was wrong for our cat after bloodwork came back. We called about sending it back and they fully refunded our purchase price. Instead of shipping it back they requested we take it to a local pet shelter and give it to them. The pet shelter appreciated their generosity. Great Service!!!

Daphne Loves This Food
By Louise51 on Apr 27, 2020
Daphne was put on this food when she was having difficulty digesting her previous food, which was causing her to have bacteria in her system. She’s so much better and seem to have more energy.

Literally saved my cats life
By Mariak on Apr 1, 2020 Top 1000 Contributor
I'm so thankful my veterinarian suggested this food for my seven month old kitten who wouldn't eat anything and was losing weight. He still hasn't been able to be diagnosed, but is hanging in there thanks to this food.

Always a great go-to
By KeylockKay on Apr 6, 2020
This dry food always comes in handy when the wet ID is hard to come by. My cats love it, and it's easy to combine with water for a softer texture, or to use as a 'treat' for training.

Both cats really disliked this product
By Lara on Mar 5, 2020
We have a cat that vomits a lot so our vet wrote an rx for this food. Unfortunately our cat refuses to eat it. Even worse, our other cat won't touch it either. I really wanted to love this food since it's meant for digestive care but we will be returning it.
