My cat needs Hill's k/d prescription food, out of stock. Where to buy?

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! As long as Hazel doesn’t get an upset stomach with sudden food changes it should be fine to use the Hill’s k/d until the Royal Canin is back in stock. I hope this helps!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! That is great. Please let us know if you have a particular question so that we can try to understand the issue and address it. We are looking forward to hearing from you. Best of luck!

Hello and thank you for reaching out to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. 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!

It looks like it is still available through Petsmart and Petco website for an online order, or you can wait until your vet opens on tomorrow to get it there if they keep it in stock. Typically your vet can get it ordered pretty quickly for their patients. Jaydee should be fine if it takes a week or two to get his Rx food. Visit your local pet store and get Hill's Science diet senior food (small bag) for now to hold him over.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I would just feed him a canned food diet for the weekend as the increased moisture will help dilute his urine. Any canned food will be ok for the next few days. That will save you from having to buy a bag of dry food you won't then use. You can also ask your Vet to write you a prescription for the food so you can get the food at a Pet store that carries is. Some pet stores that have Vet clinics attached will sell prescription food, but you need a written prescription. That way if this happens again you have a solution. These pet stores will also keep your prescription on file for the future and give you a card. I wish you the best!

Hi there and thanks for posting on Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I can't speak for all renal diets out there, but the Hill's Prescription diet K/D and the Royal Canin Renal Support Prescription diet does contain a urinary acidifier in it to help prevent struvite stone formation. I hope this helps!

I think both these diets are an acceptable choice for your cat. The most important thing is that your cat continues to eat well. So, if he prefers the Purina then stick to that! Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Best of luck.
