Even though I fed my cat hypoallergenic food he still scratched way too much. I ordered the DD and witching about 3 days the scratching stopped and his coat is even prettier than it was

They switched pork fat to coconut oil and ruined it. Cat won't eat after 11 years of loving it. I have spent $10,000 dollars and this food over the years for one cat, and now I am back to square one.

My kitty has both food allergies and was forming crystals in his urinary tract. My Vet told me he needed a novel protein for tummy issues but also the S/O index for urinary tract. This product was a lifesaver until they recently changed the formula and removed the S/O index. Now I'm struggling to find another brand of food for my sweet boy. Unfortunately, Hill's has lost a customer. ??

Not sure why it is so expensive compare to other food which has better ingredients (eg. grain free). This one has such low percentage of protein (27% written on the bag, not 34% they claim on webite).

She seems to be handling well...she has intestinal issues...my other cat, who has no health issues seems to be handling well.

My cat threw this food up, and every nugget was perfectly intact. I don't think the poor kitty was able to chew them. They are hard as little rocks. The other thing that didn't impress me is that the first two ingredients are peas and pea protein. This is pretty pricey stuff. I don't mind spending the money for kitty's health, but shouldn't venison be the first ingredient? Not impressed and sorry I wasted my money on this. On the plus side, kitty loves the taste.

My vet recommended this food for my cat. I was skeptical she would eat it but to my amazement she actually LIKES it!! That was over 7 years ago and she still enjoys the taste.

My vet recommended this product (and the wet version of this product) to me when we found out she has malabsorption issues. Coco was losing weight rapidly and having constant diarrhea while eating commercial cat food. As soon as we switched to Hills, the diarrhea stopped entirely (not one incident in months) and she's gained over 30% of her body weight back (in conjunction with a steroid). Hills is truly a life saver, and at the very least has added precious time onto Coco's life that I get to spend with her. She loves the food, is satisfied after eating it, and has gotten healthy while getting happy. THANK YOU to Hills!!!

I have 2 cats, 1 of which the vet decided after a visit, had face and chin issues and recommended the D/D. Altho pricey, I purchased and her problem cleared up. When I ran out and couldn't get to vet's office, I purchased small bag of otc at store and lo and behold she developed the issues again. D/D is the only food she can eat that keeps her little face clear of those nasty sores and her sister eats it without complaint. The coupons Hill's offers is greatly appreciated.

Although Hill's Prescription Diet d/d Dry Feline Formula is prescribed, all 3 of my kitties LOVE the Duck & Green Pea Formula. Two of them are 16 year old brothers & the other is a 4 year old little girl. They also like the canned wet in the same flavor & the Venison. It's important to me to be able to have a HEALTHY food that not only is safe but they really enjoy eating. Thank you so very much!

Recommended to an owner with a kitty for chronic diarrhea and vomiting. Worked perfectly! The owner decided to try a different food (otc novel protein) and within weeks back to the same issues; vomiting, diarrhea, and now also urinary issues. Returned to Hill's Rx D/D Duck and Green Pea and wow, back to normal again. This little kitty is happy and healthy again!
by Michelle47 on 05/20/2015
I have heard a lot of people complain that their cats would not eat the D/d. I did not think anything of it until a vet prescribed it for my own cat (who eats anything). I tried the venison first and the cat wouldn't even go near the food bowl with it in there. After a few days of him not eating I switched it out for the Duck. Still no luck. I had to put him back on his normal food. It is way too expensive and not at all palatable.
by DrKitten on 05/19/2015
My cat was scratching all the time and actually made wounds and open sores. After a few weeks of the Duck/Pea food he was back to normal. I mistakenly assumed I could re-introduce a store bought food, and he immediately went back to scratching and itching. We are now on the Duck/Pea for life. Nothing else would be worth it. He is happy and health. Thank you.

My vet recommended for my cats problem and it has really worked
by MaryGR on 11/13/2014
my cat has been put on this food for a skin problem that he has. i am pleased to see that he enjoys eating this particular food. so far it has kept his scratching to a minimum.

Our cat had extreme digestive problems being on another cat food brand for years. Our vet recommended the D/D duck and green pea, and she immediately returned to normal health. While it does cost more than most cat foods, we appreciate the fact that our cat has a better quality of life. The periodic coupons help with the cost! Thank you!
by Rob08 on 08/20/2014
This product was recommended by our vet and purchased there. Our cat likes the food and it took care of her problem. I would also like to say that I had problems printing an online coupon- I contacted the coupon center and I received a coupon in the mail within several days. Thank you for a great product and great customer support!

One male cat has had issues with blood in stool, and we have tried several of your Prescription Diets. One vet school recommended any food that was wild in nature since cats are feral by nature, so that's how we got to venison/green pea. My cats don't rush to their dishes for the wet food, but the dry food seems to appeal to them more. They drink more water with this food. However, the stool is formed with this food and only occasionally is there a trace of blood. Wish there were more flavors to choose from. I am transitioning the wet duck flavor in with the venison which seems to be more palatable. Regular Hills Diet prices are high as cat foods go, but the cost is even steeper for Prescription Diet when budgets are tight.

My cat loves his d/d food and can't wait for meal time!
by critterlady on 02/27/2014
Thank goodness my cat loves this food, He eats the whole bowl right away in one sitting. If I try anything else his skin breaks out but this food keeps it clear and his hair shines. Thank you for providing him with the best food that he loves.

Our cat has digestive issues and has benefited from our vet's suggestion to switch to d/d duck and pea formula. As an extra benefit her overall health has improved since we started using this product.

My cats ( 2) have been on D/D dry for about 3 years. I also fostered a cat this summer and she had no GI issues switching to a higher quality food. She readily accepted the new diet and I could really see the change in her appearance. Her coat and skin were less dry, she gained much needed weight without getting too overweight. My own cats don't seem to be bothered by static in their coats during the dry winters. With 2 cats the cost per day is pretty minimal and the 8.5# bag last me about 1 month. I know several pet owners who use the D/D diet and have been very happy with the product. Best part of a high quality diet is that the stools are small and no odor!!

My cat can be a very picky eater, but loves Hill's d/d. I noticed an improvement in her coat and skin and she is less itchy while on it.
by mmnow on 12/19/2013
I recently switched my cats over to d/d from another prescription brand and they LOVE it!

The best ingredients...quality...product assurance.
by madmax on 10/24/2013
We have 2 cats that needed to switch to a prescription diet for various reasons. Both of these boys are picky eaters, but they love their d/d Venison & Green Pea, which made the switch so much easier. It's hard to help treat your pet's medical condition with prescription food if they won't eat it, which defeats the whole purpose. Therefore, we couldn't be happier with our boys' response! Thank you Hill's for making a prescription food that our cats enjoy and we can feel good about feeding them!
by Natalie94 on 09/28/2013
My vet recommended the D/D venison/green pea dry for my cat. He had been a feral that was rescued so his diet wasn't good for him. He has been so much better and an extra perk was his coat is luxuriant and full.
by CMJTeddy on 09/26/2013
This is the only product that has worked successfully for my cat's medical condition.
by Cher on 09/05/2013
This has proved to be the best food we have had an opportunity to provide our 16 year old cat! He liked it quickly. He was eating only this food after only two days of mixing with prior dry food. The results have been positive and greatly appreciated by both our cat and us. We provide him with plenty of water and he is one very happy cat we feel prior negative issues have disappeared.
by Sharon69 on 08/17/2013
Once my cat started eating this; she stopped scratching, all her wounds healed and she's been fat and happy. She seems to enjoy the taste. She has never walked away from it. I like that it comes in a resealable bag because I have other cats who want to try it.
by Tampacatlady on 06/29/2013
I had trouble for yrs my cat would hold food down . The vet said to try this and she's been eating it for about 2 yrs now. She still has some skin issues but I guess it's just her. She loves the taste and I feel good about feeding it to her. It's pricey but she is worth it.
