I recently had to switch one of my cats to the Hill’s Rx UTI food while we went on vacation. When we got back, our other cat kept stealing the UTI food and refused to eat her food. So, I switched them to the Hill’s pet indoor cat, and I have never seen them so excited to eat before. Both cats sprint to their bowls every morning and evening. I love the size of the kibble pieces, our cats no longer make messes when they eat! Will definitely keep them on this for a while.

We were concerned when the vet recommended changing food to help our 8 year old cat stay healthy and fit as she gets older. This is the first alternative we tried, and from the first day, she prefers this to the older food. We are mixing them together but sometimes she’ll eat the Hills and leave the rest! It also seems to be helping with her weight.

Shame on me if I have not reviewed this before. My cat Sheba loves this cat food. She does go outside occasionally but not enough to warrant the indoor/outdoor food. She has been on this for 5 years now and she always has a good annual checkup.

We recently adopted a four-month-old kitten from a shelter that feeds Hill’s products exclusively. Angus came home with a one-pound starter packet of this food. I bought a big bag to make sure he would have his customary food during his critical growth months. We free-feed this and three other dry foods in addition to wet food in the morning. Our senior cat Ziva, who will be fourteen in a few weeks, likes this kitten food as well.

Ordered this food for 2 of our senior cats who require a lower phosphorus diet. I have tried the Hills prescription food for them but they did not like it. Having better luck getting them to eat the Science Diet roasted chicken and rice medley. They seem to like the taste, but some of the pieces are a little big. I have found mashing it up with a fork before feeding gets them to eat all of it.

We have a 7 year old 16lb orange and white long hair domestic. He seems to have a small bladder and after his second bladder/urinary infection our vet recommended the dry version of this food. He loved it and was used to dry food, but after a follow up our vet suggested the wet food version. So far we’ve had equal success with the wet version and our boy seems back to his old self.

Our cat started to have IBS symptoms and we tried many RX foods. Some didn’t stop the diarrhea and others she wouldn’t even eat a bite. She loved it right away and gets it everyday. Diarrhea went away within a week and she is stable and gaining her weight back. Flavor is a plus and health back to normal. Very happy to get her on a food she likes
