Bladder stones are collections of mineral crystals that combine together in the urinary tract. They can cause discomfort and lead to more serious problems that require the care of a veterinarian. Because the food your dog eats plays an important role in his or her overall health and well-being, Hill's nutritionists and veterinarians have developed clinical nutrition especially formulated to help support your dog's bladder health. Dogs need the right balance of minerals to maintain good bladder health. Excess minerals can encourage the formation of crystals in the urine, which can lead to the creation of bladder stones.
Key Benefits- Controlled levels of high quality, highly digestible protein reduces the risk of non-struvite stone formation
- Reduced levels of calcium helps limit the formation of bladder stones
- Added taurine and high levels of L-carnitine help maintain healthy heart muscle function
- Added antioxidants to control cell oxidation and promote a healthy immune system
- Promotes desirable urine pH levels and supports an overall healthy immune system

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. 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.

| Days 1-2 | 75% | 25% |
| Days 3-4 | 50% | 50% |
| Days 5-6 | 25% | 75% |

Food Quality has gone bad
By CocoChanel on Jul 30, 2020
Poor ingredients. Main ingredients are starch. Barely has pork fat and chicken livers. It doesn't have much protein. The food smells so bad and the size of the kibble is way too large. This food used to be better... I don't know what happened. My dog doesn't want it.

By Bladder on Jul 4, 2020
Chewy is a life saver, literally. I went to Petsmart to get my dogs prescription food only to find out they don't carry it any more. Thank goodness I don't wait till they are totally out of it. I went on line and ordered it from Chewy and it was here in 3 or 4 days, don't quite remember but it FAST! Love Chewy.

Delivery problem
By Munchmom on Jun 8, 2020
Package was left on front porch, with no knock instead of side door as requested. There are signs on the door(for past three years) that request deliveries to side door due to porch theft. Most times Munch's food is dropped at the side door. The only reason I saw the box today is because I had to leave the house. Note: actual product is fine.

Caused issues for my English Bulldog
By Bulldogmama on Mar 30, 2020
This food did not do well with my 7 year old English Bulldog. The reason for him having it is obvious; however, while on it he became lethargic and hardly wanted to eat. On top of that, he developed skin issues that made him start losing his fur in patches. After trying the Antiparasitic and Antiseborrheic Medicated Shampoo for Dogs which is Veterinary Recommended, a shampoo for Parasitic Infections, Seborrhea, and Fungal and Bacterial Skin Infections in Dogs, it was starting to get better; but it wasn't solving the issues at hand. Finally, I had to make the decision of switching his food.

Now, after switching his food to the Authority Brand Skin, Coat & Digestive Health Fish & Potato Formula that is Grain-Free (no C,S or W) that I found on Chewy's website, he is running around happy and eating his food and actually excited for meal time again. On top of it all his fur grew back within the first month. … more

Great for our Friend...Gunner
By Hondo on Apr 3, 2020
Our Dalmatian is a rescue dog whom came home with us in March 2015 when he was 2-1/2 years old. He was left at a shelter when a operation went south and his owners no longer wanted him. He has issues which we are able to control within reason. One is the food he is on (Hills Urinary Care u/d). He loves it, but one thing it is somewhat fatting...

Working well so far!
By RhettsRunningPartner on Feb 7, 2020
Our dog has been having issues with struvite crystals in his bladder and this food has really been helping keeping him consistent in his urination. He is passing some "old" stones out but it gives us peace of mind to know that this food will not cause future stones.
