HILL'S PRESCRIPTION DIETk/d Kidney Care Ocean Fish Dry Cat Food, Veterinary Diet, 8.5 lb. Bag

I was leery but the kitties love it. The size of the morsels are tiny and easily chewed.

I bought this cat food for my cat Destro before she sadly passed to kidney disease, caught at stage 4 :( she was always picky about her cat food but loved this one. The texture wasn't rough on her teeth and was a good small size for her to eat. The value for the prescription food is great. I couldnt comment on how effective it was because she passed shortly after buying it. But I know it has to be good because she loved it

We rescued a 13+ year old cat about 8 months ago. She has been eating this food for about 6 months, upon our vet's recommendation. ("Minnie's" urine was very diluted, according to her urinalysis.)Since starting her new diet, Minnie has gained weight (a good thing for her), her energy has increased, and her fur is softer and fuller. These improvements were evident after the first month or two.Minnie had a history of recurring UTIs with her previous owner, and she had a serious UTI when we first brought her to the vet.After the infection was successfully treated, Minnie started eating the k/d diet. She has not had a UTI since then (knock on wood). I don't know if the k/d formula is specifically intended to prevent UTIs, but I assume that having improved renal function is helpful here.Minnie is pretty finicky about what she'll eat. But she really likes the k/d food. She eats the chicken flavor with no complaints. She scarfs down the Ocean Fish flavor...I inadvertently spilled some, and she started eating it off the floor like a dog (really).Side note re: cost vs. shipment: the price is definitely much higher on Amazon. However, Amazon is faster. The other sites require a veterinarian's approval or prescription, which can take time to obtain. If you tend to procrastinate (like I do), you can order k/d on Amazon and receive it in 2 days. (Yay for prime membership. How did I ever live without it? haha.)Of course, it's much smarter to plan ahead and go through your vet's office or a reputable pet site (which I'm finally doing today). Also, you have more flavor options on the other sites...including Ocean Fish. (Yay for finding Minnie's favorite flav and saving $ on another site!)

my cat likes this product.

My 15 year old cat kidneys are failing. What he likes to eat is limited. He likes the dry food. It has to be approved by your vet so do not wait until your out to reorder.

I can't believe how much our cat loves this food. He will almost jump the counter to get to it...lolGlad to have something that is healthy and that he loves ♥ We will for sure use this product again and again!

My cat was diagnosed with kidney issues after years on Blue Buffalo. The vet said it was the worst food to feed them.Switched to this and her protein levels are back to normal ranch and she loves the taste bc she eats it so fast which is unfortunate given that it is so pricey.

My 9 year old Maine Coon was recently diagnosed with early stage renal issues. He likes this food, and he is doing quite well. Recommended for kitties 8 and older, whether they have been diagnosed or not. Renal failure tends to happen to most kitties when they get older, and the reduced phosphorus formula will be easier on their bodies. **Edit April 2018 - I also have a 16 year old kitty that was showing clear signs of age, and renal issues. It took me a while to get her to eat this, as she is very finicky, but she has been eating only this for 3 months now. There is a HUGE noticeable difference in her. She has more energy, her fur is shiny again, and she is showing less signs of renal issues. My Maine Coon who I originally bought this for has received great news on his renal health. His counts are near normal. There are places you can purchase this food for less money, but this food is worth every penny. It's giving my two furry ones better health. I hope it works for your cat too.
