This sample pack was just what I needed to see what kidney care foods my recently-diagnosed cat would eat. There are 2 packs of kibble (which he loves), and several cans of wet food in different flavors and textures. I really had no idea of where to start in buying new food for him and this pack really helped to figure out what to buy for him long-term.

I needed to start my older cat on a kidney diet and this sample pack was perfect! I didn’t want to spend a bunch of money on larger portions without seeing if he liked the food first. Of course I was pleasantly surprised to see that he liked all versions of the food, too.

Helps find the variety your cat will eat

Our cat has been eating the k/d pellets for some time but has just been put on k/d wet food too. She quickly got tired of the tuna pate and didn't like the chicken

Our cat has been eating the k/d pellets for some time but has just been put on k/d wet food too. She quickly got tired of the tuna pate and didn't like the chicken pate at all, which were to only two varieties our vet carried. This starter kit allowed us to try all the varieties so we could order what she would eat. As a result, we ordered more of the tuna stew. The starter kit also gives you a chance to offer a variety if you have a cat that doesn't like eating the same thing everyday.

My cat is extremely picky but now with early CKD, I wanted to allow him to try some options before committing. This was a great way for him to test out some wet food and dry food and help me determine what to order!

This sample box is a great idea! Different wet foods and dry foods to try when you have to change your cat’s food due to kidney disease. The sample box lets you try different options before committing to buying large amounts. Kidney food isn’t cheap; with the other companies offered sample boxes. Unfortunately, my cat doesn’t like the Hill’s Prescription Diet K/D food but I didn’t have to spend $60-100 to find out!

Our 21 yo Siamese mix has started having some elevated kidney values, so we were told to start her on a kidney care diet. I love that Hill's had this sampler, so we could try small bits and figure out what she likes, and then integrate it with her other food. Great idea!

Annie is a 17 year old cat with kidney disease. I have tried other prescription renal food for cats & she won’t eat it. Today the Hill’s prescription diet Kidney Care Starter Kit arrived from chewy.com. She immediately began eating the dry food. Then I gave her some tuna pate & she is eating that! Hallelujah! I was afraid she was going to die from kidney disease or starvation. Thank you, Chewy & thank you Hill’s Pet Nutrition. Annie & I are both happy & relieved.
