He likes it!
By NanaB on Feb 6, 2019
My 7 year old male orange tabby, Monet, has been on the Hills c/d since he had struvite crystals at one years old. It was always such a chore to get him to eat it- I had to scrape the food down the bowl, put it in the refrigerator for a while and try again. He really liked the dry c/d but is very caloric and he could lose a pound or so. At the last vet visit, my vet suggested the Hills r/d which he said was fine for his kidney condition. He LOVES it! I think maybe it is because it is a different texture (not as soupy). He also likes the dry. And I love it because he gobbles up his wet food and I don’t have to worry about my other cat eating Monet’s dinner.

Finicky cat not wild about it
By NCM12 on Jan 12, 2019
As I regretfully realized, after opening 1 or 2 cans, my cat decided he really didn't like it. I'm presently mixing it with the Metabolic canned prescription and that seems to be working. We have a very long way to go to get approx. 3 lbs. off of my cat, so can't say yet if it is working but am anticipating that it will.

Fat cat loves diet cat food -
By Deborah on Dec 27, 2018
My chubby 22+ pound cat actually really likes this food, which the vet thought would help him slim down. Not sure he is losing weight but he is definitely getting better muscle tone and less flab.

weight control cat food
By leah on Jan 24, 2019
My cat loves this r/d prescription food. She was without it for a day and only had her dry food. She was mad and whenever I passed her she hit my leg!

My cat loves this food, but half of the cans are dented.
By carriejo2u on Dec 29, 2018
This is the second case I have ordered and received dented. The food is great and my cat loves it. No more dented cans please.

It is working
By xine on Aug 15, 2018
This food was prescribed for one cat who has a bladder stone and needs to drop a bit of weight...that means all cats in the house are on it and everyone loves it...when the kitty who has the stone had an ultrasound and urinalysis 10 days ago, the shadow of the stone was not seen..will have an xray this Sunday to confirm that it has shrunk or is gone...the extra fiber also appears to be helpful for moving hairballs easily through their systems...fingers crossed that this is the solution...delivery happened almost immediately and the communication of getting the prescription info in order was very easy...

Finicky Feline
By Satisfied on Aug 4, 2018
Although I'm sure this is a quality product, my little cat (who needs to lose weight) wouldn't touch it! I first tried mixing it with the regular canned food I had been feeding her, didn't work. I then tried mixing it with her dry food, again, no luck. She will eat the dry weight reduction food, so even though it may take longer for her to lose some weight, it seems to be my only option. On a very positive note, when I called customer service and explained my situation, I was told I would receive a refund for the cost of the canned food and could donate the remaining 23 cans to a local animal shelter. I was very impressed by this most equitable resolution to my problem.

Weight Reduction should be more appetizing
By CBon on Jun 28, 2018
My cat ate it for a few meals then started walking away from it. It would be great if it came in small cans, our cat was only eating 1/3 of the can at a time so by the time the third feeding came around it smelled so bad and the color was a very unappetizing even to him. We have wasted so much out of a larger can. Also, why only chicken flavor?

We have R/d wet and dry. Keeps it solid but not hard. Chewy is an ideal way for us to Keep our supply. We can count o. The 2 day Shipping .Thanks Chewy
