Questions
My vet recommended the YD diet for my 15 yr. old cat that has hyperthyroidism. I also have 2 other cats in the house that are would be eating the same food but they do not have high thyroid. Would it be safe to feed this YD diet food to all 3 kitties?
- I'm sure it would be safe for them. YD simply has all of the iodine removed from it. Just be aware that YD food is REALLY expensive compared to other foods because of the process that is required to make it.

my cat has thyroid issues and been having problems with medication as it is now causing diarrhea for the past three months. Can she eat this food and take the medication? Is this food a replacement of meds or can both be given?
- Thank you for your question. We would suggest speaking to your veterinarain about medications. We hope this helps. Hill's Pet Nutrition

I'm trying to figure the cost per serving of the Feline Prescription Diet y/d Thyroid verses oral medication. If my cat is 6 lbs. and it is recommended to give 1/3 cup daily, how many servings per 4 lbs bag are there?
- Hi Thyroid, Four bags of the 8.5 lbs Hill's Prescription Diet y/d Thyroid Care Original Dry Cat Food would make approximately 385 serving. Given that 1/3 cup weighs 40 grams. Thanks

Our cat has been on Hills r/d for 2 years and has lost 2 pounds. Is that healthy to be for that long?
Which dry food is best for an indoor, seven year old cat, low in calories?
Our 1 1/2 year old female ragdoll feline started loosing patches of fur for last 2 weeks. No scabs/raw spots on skin. Vetinarian concludes not fleas or ringworm. No known environmental changes or new house products. Now starting Royal Canin Hydrolyzed Protein Adult HP for 2-3 weeks in case it's food allergies. It's $50 for 7.7 lbs. Is there a less expensive equivalent Purina or other brand?? Thanks from Florida.
My cat is very overweight. We currently feed her below the required amount of hills metabolic food and it's not working. What else can we do?
My cat was almost two he was diagnosed w/FLUTD and had crystals in his urine. He had a perineal urethrostomy after being diagnosed. He was originally on hills science c/d and s/d but that became very expensive. He has been one Purina One urinary tract health dry food for about 1.5 years and has had no urinating issues. I want him to lose weight (18lbs) & don't know if his wet food should be urinary or weight loss focused and what his dry food should focus on since I'm doing a mixed diet.
My 7 year old Beagle who has Lupus is taking 5 mg's of Prednisone every other day and needs to lose 10 pounds. Could you please recommend a food.
Best low-carb wet food for cats?
My cat needs to undergo surgery to extract his teeth, but he is too thin. He currently weighs about 1kg. So i am force feeding him with Hill's prescription diet a/d. How many mL in syringe should i give to him daily.
I am trying to help a 13-year-old cat put on weight. He has never liked wet food but I remember helping an older cat with health problems to get some calories by feeding A/D wet food. Is there a similar super palatable food that is not vet prescribed that I might try? My cat's health is good. Recent blood work by my vet showed not problems at all. Thanks.
my 12 year old cat was recently diagnosed with early stages of kidney disease. i had her eating the dry food from Hills K/D and she was ok with that. Then i moved her to the wet food because she stopped eating the dry. now she’ll eat the wet food for a day or so and then refuses. the only food she never misses a meal is fancy feast pate and blue buffalo healthy gourmet pate. i know commercial food isn’t great, but are either of these foods near the percentile a kidney cat needs?
My male cat is almost 14. I know he is starting kidney problems due to the extra water he drinks at this point. and a bit thinner. lots of energy still. I read they need at least 50% protein, I give him wet and dry which i know is not good, but lots of wet and freeze dried chicken too, vit with dig enzymes. Can you suggest the best Wet high protein food and anything else from Petco?
My 15 week old kitten keeps eating my 9 year old's Rx Hills Science C/D dry food - she prefers it over her kitten kibble. I'm having a hard time keeping her away from the adult cat bowl. She came to me eating Iams kitten kibble & I'm in the process of transitioning her to Hills Science Kitten dry food. Should I be concerned about her eating the Rx food?
