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% |

Groundbreaking Nutrition for Digestive Health
Hill's Gastrointestinal Biome cat food was formulated using a different approach to digestive care. These recipes help your cat's stomach break down food more efficiently using a specific blend of active fibers. This blend, ActivBiome+, can help promote healthier stool and improve regularity. Other beneficial ingredients may help promote a healthy urinary system, too—they call it S+OX Shield.
Clinical Nutrition
With Hill's, it's not just high-quality ingredients that count. Their focus is on the proper balance of nutrients in every recipe. So, Hill's designed food to help pets with health conditions, providing the right nutrients to support their health. Hill's alliance with veterinarians puts them in a position to find a nutrition recommendation for your pet, no matter what health issue he's facing.
Formulated by Veterinarians
Hill's Prescription Diet started with a veterinarian's belief that some health issues could be managed through nutrition. What began as a theory has now been proven through extensive research by a team of over 220 vets, PhD nutritionists and food scientists. The results can be seen in Hill's Prescription Diet therapeutic pet foods.
Meeting the Highest Standards
Providing a food that delivers exactly what it says it does is Hill's number one priority. In fact, they perform over five million safety and quality checks every year. They've established relationships with trusted suppliers and will only accept ingredients that meet stringent standards.
The Taste Factor
You might know that Hill's Prescription Diet is good for your pet, but she's only concerned with the taste. Even though they place a heavy emphasis on nutrition, Hill's hasn't forgotten about palatability. Savory ingredients are combined to produce foods with enticing aromas, textures, and shapes that your pet can't resist.

my cat loves this !
By dinga on Mar 25, 2021
when you have a cat on a prescription diet, it is a bit of a challenge. with a limited number of foods that they are allowed to eat, it can be very nerve wracking. many of the foods are unavailable, etc, especially this last year with everything so out of whack. this is one of the foods that my cat can eat, and when his pet pharmacy couldn't get it, it was chewy to the rescue. he loves the flavor, and it seems to agree with his delicate system.

Worked! Cat doesn't like :(
By Heather on Feb 26, 2021
I have a 15 yr old cat with a VERY sensitive GI tract. Anything out of the normal will give him diarrhea. Oh, did I mention he is white?! Yeah, it can get...messy! Rajah has been on several different foods over the years but since he is also overweight, when he reached 23 lbs it was time to get a handle on things. He was put on Royal Canin Satiety and had amazing results. He lost 7 lbs and no more diarrhea. I was so happy for him. He was active and no more GI issues. Well then COVID hit and food was back ordered then Royal Canin decided to discontinue. Finally after 2 more other foods and more diarrhea issues returning, a last resort we tried Hills GI Biome canned. After a 1 week transition I have a 15 yr old cat with a VERY sensitive GI tract. Anything out of the normal will give him diarrhea. Oh, did I mention he is white?! Yeah, it can get...messy! Rajah has been on several different foods over the years but since he is also overweight, when he reached 23 lbs it was time to get a handle on things. He was put on Royal Canin Satiety and had amazing results. He lost 7 lbs and no more diarrhea. I was so happy for him. He was active and no more GI issues. Well then COVID hit and food was back ordered then Royal Canin decided to discontinue. Finally after 2 more other foods and more diarrhea issues returning, a last resort we tried Hills GI Biome canned. After a 1 week transition in foods to the new food..OMG! I was SO happy his diarrhea went away completely. But sadly Hills GI Biome canned is on BACKORDER! Ugh, I just cant win. So we are trying the Hills GI Biome Dry. Rajah has always been a "foody" and will eat almost anything however, after a few weeks he started leaving a lot of uneaten kibble in his dish or barely touching it at all. One thing I did find is that it I wet the dry food and let it get moist, he will eat it that way. All in all I am happy with the results...not sure Rajah is. … more

Feline Biome
By Anniesmom on Apr 1, 2021
Annie has had problems with her digestive system for years. Sour, soft, smelly poop full of hair. Her Vet. suggested we try this and it is a miracle food. Like the info. says, within a couple of days her stool is normal in all ways. Her coat has improved too. I wish this was available years ago.

It helped!
By Skrich59 on Feb 10, 2021
First of all my cat actually ate it. If you knew how finicky she was you would be excited too! She has always had digestive issues and after trying multiple different kinds of food, my vet recommended the Hills prescription. After only a couple days of eating the Hills she started firming up and acting almost like a kitten. I could tell she felt better. What made me the happiest is that she is using the litter box and not outside it. Highly recommend.

Cat Won’t Touch it
By Next on Feb 10, 2021
My cat normally eats wet food but this was suggested by our vet after many trips to the emergency vet for a constipated cat who doesn’t like water (and his normal hills prescription wet food is out of stock) We followed the recommended steps to transition him to his new food, but won’t touch it.

Cat''s loose stool problem
By RobertM on Feb 10, 2021
We tried this food hoping that our cat might have a food allergy causing his all the time loose stool which in turn was causing accidents outside the litter box. Ugg! Since trying this food, under Vet's recommendation, his stools are a little firmer and he has not had any accidents outside his box. I will continue using this food unless results change. It is expensive!

Does What It's Meant to Do
By Julian on Jan 21, 2021
Well, I won't lie. My cat doesn't have a great love for this food. He doesn't eat it as excitedly as he did his previous food. That being said, it works! My cat had issues with his stool, and this food cleared it up completely in only two weeks. I'm sure he's feeling better, even if he doesn't look forward to meal time as much anymore. Would you be happy if you could only eat protein bars and yogurt for every meal? No, me neither. But we do what we have to for our health, so my cat is too.

The best dry food
By Brittanna75 on Feb 19, 2021
This is the only dry food my 17 year old cat will eat. He has digestive issues & this food helps so much! So thankful my vet recommended it. They have a hard time keeping it in stock so I love that Chewy can get it to me so quick.
