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% |

Cat eats it, doesn't love it
By Monty on Sep 30, 2020
Our cat will eat the canned diet food, but he doesn't love it. We have to sprinkle the canned diet food with dry diet food to get him to continue eating it. Have not been on it long enough for much weight loss.

He loves the can food
By Casper on Jul 21, 2020
The can food is good, Casper seems to like it, no so much the dry food he does not eat much of it, and it seems to go thru him and does not digested.

Not so good
By themom on May 19, 2020
My cat really doesn't care for it. It has a different consistency and smell. It dries hard as a brick quickly.

Cat's happy
By Levi on Mar 4, 2020
I was surprised that my cat liked this new food right away, as he doesn't usually go for chicken. He is 18 lbs, trying to get down to 16 lb. It's just been a couple of weeks, but he does seem to have more energy and hasn't been complaining about missing out on dry food.

prescription food

My cat will not eat more than a nibble of the r/d Hills RX food and even then it has to be from a fresh just opened can.

Cat won’t eat it
By Amkg on Oct 7, 2019
Cat won’t eat it but I don’t blame the product. She is finicky. I wish I could have only gotten a single can. Now I have a case I can’t use.

Vet recommended for fat cat
By Pixiecat on Aug 7, 2019
My cat is over weight. This impacted his health. A vet put him on this food. I’m giving it a try. He will eat it but I am finding that it’s not an overwhelming response.

My cat loves it!
By Lori on May 27, 2019
My cat has trouble eating the dry r/d food because she has lost several teeth over the years. I started using this to help her out while still giving her quality food to still maintain her weight. She loves it! Will keep buying this as along as she likes it!
