Hill's Prescription Diet t/d Dental Care Chicken Flavor Dry Cat Food

I work in veterinary medicine so im always a little wary about things that claim to help animals. The big kibbles are great at helping scrape off debris built up on their teeth. The big kibbles also slow my chunkier cat down when she's eating (because she has to actually chew them) which is a nice unintended plus. My cats seem to like the kibbles and to offset the high cost of the food, I actually mix it into their main diet- about 50/50. Nothing replaces the benefits of brushing their teeth, but I mean, even with training in animal care, it's not always possible to brush their teeth so, this helps.

All 5 of my cats adore this dry food. However, I have to feed it sparingly or they won’t eat any of their soft food, cooked chicken or high quality (real meat, no grain, with omega fatty acids) dry food. The wet food in their diet is critical to their urinary health, and unfortunately this food is made from chicken by-product meal, rice, corn, powedered cellulose and pork fat. And it does not have omega fatty acids. So definitely a low quality food. The only reason I’m feeding a little of this dental food is because it’s high in fiber, so helps them pass the hair and it supposedly(?) gets rid of tartar. It’s disappointing that my vet and Hills would market such a low quality, expensive food All 5 of my cats adore this dry food.

I received a sample of this food after my cat's recent dental visit. Rather than feed it as his primary food, I use it as a treat, giving him 5-6 pieces a day (he is a small cat). He does enjoy it, and I can see how the it would have a teeth cleaning action as the pieces are quite large, and he really has to chew at them.

I am really disappointed with this purchase. My cats hate this food. It’s insanely overpriced and they won’t eat it. One of the primary problems is that the food granules themselves are so big. It looks like they are sized for a small dog. Compared to the other cat diets we have tried with this brand these are grossly disproportionate. I know that point is to clean their teet but how is that supposed to happen when they hate the food and it’s too hard to eat. I mean seriously. Is there a money back guarantee???!

Good for the teeth, large size gets more chewing. Both my cats really chow down on it. No leftover bits like with other non prescription oral care products that I have tried.

We were recommended this food after our cat developed a fever because of gingivitis. We knew she has bad breath, but didn't realize it was that bad! We've been using dental treats and filtered water and with the addition of this food, she is doing much, much better! It is a bigger kibble (reminds me of dog food), but she doesn't seem to care and she liked it immediately. It is extremely expensive, but it works so well, it's worth it.

I have spent $$$ on dental procedures for my 3 cats... I am hoping this recommended product works.. My cats seem to like it but the kibbles are large ...would be better if they were smaller. Chewy sent this product quickly from the order date ,,,like 2 days..

Martin’s vet recommended this food to help reduce his gingivitis. His brother has been eating it too and loves the taste, but all I’ve noticed is weight gain. Vet has yet to see improvement of Martin’s teeth and he’s been on this food for almost a year.

My cats have been eating this for years. It had an immediate and lasting impact on their gums, and my "gulper" has to slow down and chew them...which has helped her weight. This is the first time I've used Chewy however and it has been fantastic! I used to have to drive miles for this prescription from the vet - now it comes next day to my door step. Unbelievable!

This is the only dry food my cat can keep down. Not sure why, just glad she tolerates, even loves, it.
