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% |

Saved My Mom's CAt's Life
By Lexxie on Oct 14, 2020
About 7 years ago, my mother's cat, Oscar was diagnosed with diabetes. Vet said he would have to have two insulin shots a day. Or be put down. My mother is elderly and not able to give shots to Oscar who is a very large cat (not fat). Another vet recommended trying Hills Prescription Gluco Support and it made all the difference. It is good for the other cat to help prevent diabetes and they are both still happily eating this life saving food. Oscar lost weight, and goes through a lot of water and litter, but he is still playful and affectionate.

CHEWY CUSTOMER SERVICE
By Luna on Aug 25, 2020
I just wanted to take the time to say thank you for providing such good service. I called yesterday (Monday) because I learned my kitty's food prescription needed to renewed by my vets. Upon speaking to the young lady I mentioned that my kitty would only have a day or two left of food. Well upon receiving my vets approval yesterday Chewy made sure I received my kitties food the next day (Tuesday) morning. Thank you to the staff of Chewy! I really appreciate your kindness and good service you always provide.

Cat approved
By Sramey on Sep 12, 2020
Thankfully, my newly diagnosed diabetic cat AND my other two cats like this.I just wish Hill's would stop making round kibble because I've always observed cats having trouble with it and it ends up falling out of their mouths and rolling around on the floor.

Kitty Loves This
By bumbiesmom on Jul 27, 2020
My older adopted kitty arrived with a few extra pounds, and before we started on this, she kept pestering me for food all the time. This seems to keep her sated, and she loves the flavor as well. She's due for a weigh-in before too long, and I think she has lost some of that extra weight but she's got a few more pounds to go. I have high hopes for success with this product . . .

Super fast delivery!
By Chell on Jul 25, 2020
This is my sweet 16yr old, diabetic boy's favorite snack. He nibbles on it all day long. I realized how low we were last evening, and ordered then. Today, I gave him the last handful. Within a half hour of emptying the bag, the next one was on my porch. We love CHEWY

He thinks it is his treats
By catladyluke on Jun 13, 2020
When I found out my cat had to go on special food I thought I would have a problem getting him to eat it. He was not allowed treats anymore. Now I use this cat food and trick him by offering this cat food when he thinks he is getting treats and all is well.

Cat Loves This
By Sjoy on May 18, 2020
When my vet prescribed Hills m/d I was worried at first because my cat is very particular and will refuse to eat at all before eating something he doesn't like. I tried the wet and dry version and while he wasn't too fond of the wet food he LOVES the dry! Thank goodness! It smells pretty good and is high quality food - yes it's a little pricey but his health is worth it!

What a nightmare!
By Tina on Apr 11, 2020
Getting this was a horrible process and not like my previous Chewy experiences at all! First off, I live in WA and Chewy decided that some vet in CO was who I needed authorization from. I sent them my vet's info (it was already on the account). Only after my vet spent 1 hour on the phone with them, did it get approved. Thankfully, I was able to source a bag from a friend's local vet in the meanwhile. The next time I placed an order for insulin syringes, the same nightmare happened... I decided it wasn't worth it and got the syringes from another source. I get that Chewy is overwhelmed during the Covid-19, but seriously, they had all the correct information from me, so why go chasing Getting this was a horrible process and not like my previous Chewy experiences at all!
