Hill's Prescription Diet k/d Kidney Care with Chicken Canned Cat Food, 5.5-oz, case of 24

When our cat was prescribed the Hill's k/d Kidney Care with Chicken Canned Food, we bought several cans from our local vet to try and she ate them really well. However, she would not touch the same brand, type and flavor that we later bought in a case from Chewy. We have had to coax her to eat some of it by mixing in treats, and she still won't finish what's in her bowl. We thought this was unusual so we tested it again by purchasing more cans from the vet, and she ate those up immediately. Though our cat hasn't shown signs of being sickened by the food sent by Chewy, something must not be right with the contents.The expiration date on those cans is far enough in the future, so it makes me When our cat was prescribed the Hill's k/d Kidney Care with Chicken Canned Food, we bought several cans from our local vet to try and she ate them really well.

When our fifteen year old cat Melody was diagnosed with onset of kidney problems and needed a change in her diet we were really worried. As it turns out, she really likes her KD, just three days of mixing with her previous food and worries were over. We add a little water to each serving to help Melody stay hydrated.

My senior kitty really likes this food, but the tuna flavor is her favorite..These larger cans ounce per ounce are slightly less expensive than the stew,. It is also a finer consistency, and has less vegetables, My cat likes them both. The stew and the pate - they are both very moist, and have helped with kidney issues

My cat with the kidney trouble doesn’t like this one but he really seemed to like the tuna and vegetable stew. As far as if it has really helped his kidney function, it’s too soon to tell. He likes the dry K/d kibble as well as the tuna and veg stew wet food. My other cats like this pate wet food but it’s too expensive of course to get for them just because, besides the fact it’s prescription. They do have a starter pack to try out but it was out of stock when I purchased.

I got a couple sample cans to start, and based on their success, I thought this would at least be consumed well enough. My last cat, who also died of kidney failure, had never liked k/d, but hey, it's been over a decade. They've probably reformulated. Besides, these are different cats. My optimism was misplaced. I'm about 1/3 into the case, and the cats barely touch it. I know how important making sure the cats eat is in cases of renal failure. If they refuse to eat this, I have to try alternative options.

Had to substitute this brand for the brand Benny was currently eating because of unavailability. Benny likes this better than what he was eating. It is very similar but a softer pate. He never ate canned cat food in his 15 years until the vet recommended the other brand for his kidney failure. Am quite surprised he ate either, but am so pleased. The customer representative was wonderful helping me find the similar food because of my concern. Very friendly company.

My cat is a finicky eater, so I wish the KD was available in smaller quantities other than a case! She often turns her nose up if she’s not given a variety of food, so I do not prefer having to buy a case of one flavor. My vet gave me a variety pack to start her out on the new diet, and it’s listed on the Chewy website, but not in stock. I called Chewy to see if it would be available soon, and they said they didn’t know when, if ever it would be available.

Thank heavens our little old kitty Moo like this food. All her life, she wouldn’t touch wet food. So she grew up on hard kibble. She wasn’t eating much and losing weight, diagnosed with early stage kidney disease. We gave her rehydrated chicken meat, which she would gobble up. But hardly eat the kibble. We needed her to eat something more nutritious with ingredients to support her condition. This food did it. We still give her the white meat chicken she loves, but she eats nearly an entire can of this along with it over the course of a day. She’s doing great and we are grateful.

Hi. I'm a 17 year old cat and in kidney failure. This food gives me a quality of life enough that I can do all my cat things like eat, use the litter box and clean myself. Sadly, I am blind so I can't play anymore.

This cat food was recommended for our cats who have kidney disease. They don’t particularly like it and will eat around the rice and carrots in it. Cats are total carnivores so vegetables don’t appeal to them. We now are using Royal Canin’s K/D chicken food and occasionally mix in Hill’s diet if we are we running low on the Royal Canin.
