Questions & Answers

27 Customer Questions


How many cups would you say would be in the 25 lb bag? Wondering how long it will last.

Answer by ChewyMar 14, 2018
There's approximately 34 cups of food in the 8.5 pound bag, 70 cups of food in the 17.6 pound bag, and 110 cups of food in the 27.5 pound bag.

Are any ingredients from China?

Answer by ChewyAug 08, 2019
This ingredient L-carnitine is sourced in China.

Would my other dog who doesn't have kidney problems be able to eat this? I'm going to try to separate it but if she eats it would it be bad for her?

Answer by ChewyAug 24, 2018
As this is a prescription food formulated to meet specific diet restrictions from known health issues, this food should not be fed to any other animal than the one prescribed due to the restriction of specific nutrients. Prescription diets can be detrimental to an otherwise healthy pet if that pet doesn't have the ailment for which the food is designed.

Can I mix the wet and dry together? My dog likes a little texture and can't get him to really eat the wet or dry alone.

Answer by ChewyFeb 15, 2018
The dry kibble and wet food may be combined if wanted. Keep in mind the suggested daily caloric intake for the pet when combining foods.

In the past, I had trouble ordering prescription diet from another online pet pharmacy. The process was slow and painful, requiring multiple follow-up calls to my vet to ensure they received the order. With Chewy, my order was approved and processed the same day. Plus, I saved money with Chewy, which is always appreciated!

My 65 lb golden retriever started this diet two days after finding out his kidney levels weren’t good. As an effort to ensure they don’t continue to rise, he strictly only eats this and occasionally some pumpkin. He has no issues with the taste or smell, it’s been four months and his kidney levels haven’t gone up, and is doing great energy wise, no weight loss, I give all the credit to this food!

I made a mistake estimating amount and time for reorder and was running low on Coco’s prescription diet dog food. Placed the order and was shocked that it was delivered the next day and during the busy holiday season. Fantastic service thanks!

Dog food

I’m sure it is a fine product but my dog doesn’t like it. I tried another flavor and it was a no go. So I have to put tuna or something in it to get him to eat. I thought he would eat it if he was hungry enough but after 2 days I gave up.

No need to worry about it being eaten!

I was worried that a new food, especially for a special diet, was going to be difficult to get Grizzly to eat, but that wasn’t the case at all. My other two dogs

I was worried that a new food, especially for a special diet, was going to be difficult to get Grizzly to eat, but that wasn’t the case at all. My other two dogs not on the diet have gotten a piece or two and they also gobbled it up. A bit expensive but worth it.

We recently discovered that our 14-year-old mixed-breed dog (Boxer and Border Collie) has developed kidney disease and hypothyroidism, so our vet prescribed Hill's k/d Canine Renal Health Dry Dog food. We ordered the dry food through Chewy, and it was delivered within days, and the product is making a difference in improving Daisy's health.

As I was weaning my 12 y/o doxie from her former food to the Hills renal diet, she appeared to love the new food. She even started picking it out of her bowl and leaving the Purina shreds. That was short lived. After a couple days, she started refusing the Hills too. I’ve resorted to mixing in some sweet potato or other veg with no salt to help her get it down. I wish I’d have purchased a smaller bag. This was a $100 mistake.

Unbelievably quick delivery!

Buddy, my Chiweenie, needed a new prescription diet for the first time in his life :( he is 16 and 1/2 years old and had some medication damage to his kidneys for retention of fluids I his lungs from his unfortunate heart failure. So, I ordered the prescription to my veterinarian l, less than 24 hours the food was delivered on my doorstep literally! I have used Chewy a very long time and have many other fur babies, the service has always been so great! But, this time, I was so worried for my Buddy for his food. I never said a word to my veterinarian nor Chewy. They just got it done and knew from past history that this was a very new thing for Buddy. THANK YOU! He loves his new food and couldn’t wait to eat it seeming he was off the other food for a few days of mommy’s cooking lol he took this change of Hills Kidney diet to a whole other level for him and me and took they worry right out from me. Thank You Hills! Thank You to Buddy’s veterinarian! Most of all Thank You Chewy!!! I would also like to add, the prescription services have been so wonderful and timely delivered without issue. I work in pharmacy myself and people trust me everyday to get their medication last delivered. That is saying a lot for me for Chewy!!!
