Thank you for using Boop by Petco. Many veterinarians will carry Hill’s prescription diets. I recommend calling to see who may carry it. As it is a prescription diet they may require a prescription or call from your veterinarian in order to sell the food.

Frankly, I do not care for Blue Buffalo products because they have a history of lying about their ingredients in their diets. Hills and Royal Canin are my preferred brands. There are other limited protein food brands out there, such as Natural Balance, which has formulas with a single protein source and a single carbohydrate source, making it less likely for your cat to develop an allergy.

Ideally, I would recommend a prescription diet such as Royal Canin MP, or Hills prescription diet k/d. If he will not eat a prescription food, choose a senior formulation of some kind. Wet or canned food is great, but if he prefers dry that's fine. Ensure that there is plenty of fresh water sources throughout your home. I wish you and Peaches the best! Thank you for asking Boop by Petco.

If she is eating the prescription canned diet, that's fine. It is probably better since it has significantly more moisture than the prescription dry food. You can try feeding just the canned diet or mix in a bit of warm water with the prescription dry.

Without a full diagnosis of the actual health conditions it is almost impossible to advise on a suitable diet - kidney failure, urinary stones/crystals, urinary tract inflammation, incontinence and bladder tumours can all cause urinary tract symptoms in older cats and each require slightly different management - I recommend you contact your vet to discuss exactly what types of food are most likely to help Patches. When it comes to kidney and urinary issues however, high quality, specialist prescription diets are preferred as they are tailored to prevent progression and reduce severity of clinical signs and are worth the investment, even if you can only stick with them for 8-12weeks to allow stabilisation
