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% |

Don't buy a lot if your cat changes its mind
By Wiley on Sep 28, 2021
I would have given 5 stars as we got this because our cat was diagnosed with kidney disease. Initially he seemed to like it when we changed over, then everyone was out of it so I ordered several boxes from Chewy to make sure we didn't run out but the antics of cats....for some reason he has stopped eating and won't touch it (went back to his other cat food) so am going to see if I can sell it to our vet or donate to the humane society. I'm sorry it didn't work out; he's very picky but doubtful we'll get him on anything else specifically for kidney issues (without buying in bulk only to go to waste - my bad). Chewy is great though.

senior(ish) cat is a big fan
By sushi on Oct 1, 2021
11 year old cat has been enjoying this for 2 weeks and is as enthusiastic about this as any wet food (her favorite kind of wet food is "in my bowl"). It is a fairly goopy pate but is consistent, which 1) makes it very soft and easy to mash/mix with water or dry food 2) ensures that she eats the veggies that are mixed in. I don't know how this compares to other k/d wet food options, but I recommend this if your cat, like mine, is unfussy with her diet.

Our picky eater loves this food!
By catdad on Sep 21, 2021
Our 7+ year old cat, Honey, showed a very early signs of a kidney problem on a recent blood test. The vet said it was too soon to know the prognosis or to medicate Honey. He prescribed the Hill's kidney care diet. Honey has always been somewhat of a picky eater, but she seems to love this food. The minute we put it down she devours it.

Price Keeps Increasing!
By Sarcasticat on Sep 1, 2021
Our cat unfortunately needs a prescription diet for her kidneys and we've bought this for a long time, but its a chore to get her to eat it or enough of it and the rest that goes unfinished gets thrown out. I have to assume its helping her, but who knows? What doesn't help is the price has increased significantly over the past 2 years and its not like the ingredients are great or really healthy.

review for deliciousness
By pomo on Aug 30, 2021
Extremely expensive but my cat wolfs this food down even mixed with medicine, any time. He is more enthusiastic about eating than I've seen him for five years. He LOVES this food. This flavor only comes in 2.9 ounce cans which is just too small an amount. Perhaps this flavor is just really expensive due to its quality. I am now trying the 5 ounce regular chicken flavor, hoping he likes it as much as this one

My Picky eater loves this wet food
By Amie13 on Sep 7, 2021
My 14 year old kitty was diagnosed with early stage kidney disease last year and the vet recommended the special kidney diet. My picky eater loves both flavors of this wet food. It is the ONLY wet food brand for kidney diet she will eat. She will come up to me around meal time and meow until I give her this wet food and then she wolfs it down.

Hungry cat will eat
By Jeff on Aug 24, 2021
One of my two cats was just prescribed this kidney friendly diet. The vet said it’s not appropriate for his sister, so I had to purchase special covered feeding bowls that only open for a specific cat. $150 x 2! Anyway, though he clearly preferred his old diet, he’s adjusting to the Rx food, and is eating enough when hungry. He needed to lose a little weight too, so a little loss of interest not a bad thing.

More Flavors Please
By Sadie on Oct 3, 2021
My Norwegian Forest cat would like more flavors in this brand. And I am thankful for smaller-sized cans. Large cans often go to waste, as its too much to eat and too much getting her to eat an already opened can.
