I would recommend using the food that Lil Man's vet recommend, at least at first. Once the issue is under control, you could consider experimenting with other diets. It could be fine, but better to start with the diet that your vet is comfortable with and feels will be helpful based on their experience.

Blue Buffalo is a terrible brand of food, and many animals put on it have diarrhea and other GI problems as a result. I NEVER recommend it. I recommend Royal Canin Hydrolyzed Protein Adult HP dry cat food. Royal Canin is an excellent brand. I hope this helps!

Hello and thank you for reaching out to Boop by Petco. My top recommendations of veterinary diets include Hill's Science Diet, Purina, and Royal Canin. These are well-known brands that are stocked in veterinary hospitals, and are AAFCO formulated to be balanced and appropriate. I recommend avoiding grain-free, boutique diets from other brands, as these are not regulated and often are do not have balanced nutrients. I hope this is helpful!

Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! So your Vet will prescribe the prescription food but not the treats? I would ask to speak to your Vet directly. Sadly anything that is prescription requires a valid Veterinary-Client-Patient-Relationship (VCPR). A VCPR requires a yearly exam which is what the law/veterinary boards require from the Vet. Any refill on prescriptions need yearly exams. With that being said you may be able to find the treats online as it is hard to enforce prescription diets, let alone treats. For what it is worth it is in the best interest of Oscar to have yearly exams and be up to date on his vaccines. I wish you the best!

Pancreatitis can be challenging in kitties as it can be more difficult to diagnose then in dogs, be more "quiet" in its presentation, can cause sudden, more severe signs and also chronic, more mild signs, and is often a secondary condition due to another underlying disease process such as gastrointestinal disease. Often prescription diets are better for animals with chronic disease as they have better quality control. And the diet selected is often based on what is thought to be causing the pancreatitis (hypoallergenic vs new protein/carb sources vs low fat, etc.). With kitties it can sometimes take some diet trial to see what the individual cat likes. Some of the pet food companies (science diet for sure) will offer a free trial prescription diet through your veterinarian for a prescription food. Meaning you can get a free bag or free cans to try. Also most of these companies will allow the food to be returned if the cat doesn't like it. So it might be a good idea to check into this
