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.

How will you contact my vet?
Our Veterinary Diets team will personally contact your vet for approval. If your clinic needs more information from you or recommends a different diet, we’ll let you know immediately.
Does it help if I send you my veterinarian’s authorization?
Yes! If you have a paper copy of your vet’s authorization, email a picture to vetdiet@chewy.com, start a chat, or fax it to 1-800-619-7973.
Can I use a veterinarian’s authorization if it was written by a veterinarian out of state?
Of course! We can accept valid authorizations from anywhere in the United States and Canada—that includes US territories, like Puerto Rico.
Why do I need a veterinarian’s authorization?
Veterinary Diets are formulated with the precise ingredients and nutrients needed to address specific medical issues. If you don’t have a paper authorization, no sweat—once you provide your vet’s information, our team will take over.
Can someone else (such as a caretaker or family member) place an order for my pet?
Yes, but we’ll need them to provide us with the full name of the pet’s owner’s name via phone, email or chat after the order is placed, so the clinic can locate your pet’s records when we contact them.
How can I help expedite my order?
Just follow these simple steps:
- Create your pet’s profile on Chewy.com.
- If you have an Autoship scheduled, but you’re running low on your Veterinary Diets, contact us ahead of time to let us know if you have a new clinic or if any authorization information has changed.
- If you have an authorization handy, send it to us before you order—by sending an email to vetdiet@chewy.com, starting a chat with one of our experts, or faxing us at 1-800-619-7973.
Do I need to set up a pet profile?
We recommend it, but it’s not required. You can create your pet’s profile by logging in at Chewy.com, hovering over your account, and choosing “pet profile.”
Do authorizations expire?
Yes. Your vet will tell us when your authorization will expire and how many times we can send before they’d like you to check back in with them.
Can I set up automatic refills?
Yep! Sign up for Autoship and we’ll automatically ship your Veterinary Diets for as long as your authorization allows. If you run out of refills, or your authorization expires, we’ll automatically contact your vet for a new authorization. If we hit any bumps in the road, we’ll let you know right away.

They changed their formula without notifying customers and we have been dealing with a very sick dog, requiring several vet visits. Now we have to find a different food and med for our arthritic dog.

Fish oil vs J/D
By Marley on Oct 5, 2019
My 11 1/2 yr old chocolate stopped eating because of the smell of fish oil I had been adding to her food for arthritis. Her surgeon recommended Science Diet j/d dry food with some canned wet food... she was reluctant at first... we mixed some of her previous dry food and fooled her long enough to transition to just j/d and her wet food. She seems to be quite a bit more comfortable!

So far so good!
By LutherLady on Nov 16, 2019
My dog has issues and we, my vet and I, are trying find a better dog food for him. So far he is thriving on J/d with no problems! Keep you fingers crossed.

She likes it!
By Janb on Sep 22, 2019
I was concerned when my vet requested that we change to a joint support diet for my dog who was just diagnosed with hip dysplasia at 1 year old. Surprisingly she likes this food and she seems to be feeling better. No diarrhea or constipation.

Changed my dogs life
By Emma on Jun 6, 2019
This food is amazing! My dog Gibson was 10 and I noticed that he was getting sore and achy especially later in the evenings and I could tell he was becoming uncomfortable. My vet suggested I try changing his food to Hills j/d because it was specially formulated for dogs with joint pains. Within a week of being on this food Gibson was as active as when he was a young pup and did not show any signs of discomfort! Friends and family have commented on how they can tell he feels better and he is in better spirits all day. He is now 11 and still insanely active!

Real improvement in mobility
By Patty on Mar 26, 2019
The joint care diet has made a real difference in our dog's mobility. She doesn't run as much as she used to but her walking has improved a lot.

Hills Joint care food
By Jamie on Dec 24, 2018
My 3.5 year old GSD has a sprained knee and my Vet recommended this food for him. I wish he would be more into the flavor of this food but I'll say that his skin is better off from it and I think it's helping with his knee in addition to the joint supplement.

My old dog feels young again
By Anne on Nov 3, 2018
As my beagle started to age she slowed down a lot. While at the veterinarian I asked about what could be done to help, she suggested j/d. She gave me a trial bag within a few weeks I noticed a big difference in my dogs movement. I’m sold on this product and have all of my dogs on it.
