Hill's Prescription Diet u/d Urinary Care Dry Dog Food

My jack russell is almost twelve. After some health issues she was put on this food! She has really recovered AND she has always enjoyed the taste with no resistance! Before my vet recommended it a neighbor told me her 13 year old standard poodle has been on it and was doing really really well. I never used a prescription diet before with my pets and I am thrilled with the outcome. Thanks!

I can't stress this enough... this product is amazing for the health of your dog. We have an 11 year old Dalmatian (I bet you couldn't even tell he's 11 from the picture below). He's not our first Dalmatian... our first one was fed with No Name brand basic dog food that we bought from grocery stores. We didn't know much about the impact cheap dog food would have on him; he had kidney stones about 2 to 3 times in his life. At the end of his life, when he was only 8 years old, he was frail, he couldn't control his bladder, and he could barely move. He passed away shortly and it was heartbreaking. With our current dalmatian, Billy, we became more educated on the breed and what food works. Dalmatians are prone to kidney stones and this food has been a blessing. He's 11 and as energetic as he was when he was 5. This is the perfect food for anyone with about dalmatian.

My dog also had stoned. She loves the good. It also has helped her. The only thing is that it is pricey. Especially if you have other dogs trying or eating her food.

I had purchased this item for a couple of months and found it very soft and smelled different. Was not sure if it was just a batch or if it had been changed and found out that it had been changed and the two vet clinic where I had bought it from didn't know. The dog liked it and so I continued to give it to her. Was happy to hear it was changed.

Hi to those having small dog and think it too large for it to comsume. Try crush it make it smaller bite, crush an amount for a week and store them in container. My toy poddle enjoying this for many years. Hope this tips can help someone out there. Cheers .. osward

My 8 pound, 13 year old jack russell began having accidents in the house, which she has never done. i thought it was old age & felt terrible when the vet discovered a bladder stone the size of a dime. Been on the food since April, and she acts like a puppy again !! My only complaints are the big size and shes gaining weight.I cant see her muscles anymore.

The pieces are way too large. I am aware a canned version is available, but prefer the dry food for the teeth. Hoping I can find a competitor product to use.

My Briard boy had to have emergency Surgery for bladder stones. He is on this food ever since, but I have to mix Fiber and pumpkin with it or he gets really constipated! To the point that he is in pain. He has water available at all times. Any others having that problem? He had no stones and his checkups are looking good, so yes I would recommend this food. Just pumpkin in his beard all the time is not so nice!

My 7 year old Chihuahua has been on this food for about 3 months now. He struggles to eat it due to the rather large kibble size. It would be nice if they offered this in a smaller kibble for smaller dogs. I'm surprised there's not already that option. Please consider making this in a smaller kibble for smaller dogs so they can not struggle while trying to eat this food.

My dogs have been on UD for 5 years, they are Chihuahua, WHY O WHY can't you make this in smaller bites take into consideration the fact dogs come in small sizes too .weekly I have to put it in a baggy and hit with a hammer to make it smaller and dogs don't care for taste.Vet wants me to use dry.

Our 13 year old Peek-Poo had bladder surgery about a year ago, and the vet told us to feed him U/D. So far he is doing great. The only thing is he has put weight on since he has been on UD (don't know if it is his age or the UD). We give him a little under a half cup twice a day, and he loves it.

My pomeranian had large amounts of crystals and vet recommended hills ud, in just a little over a week there's been a noticeable change, she's no straining to go like she was. Reading another review I would also like to see smaller pieces.

Back In Nov 2015 we had to run our Dog in the middle of a stormy rainy night to emergency and learned we need to pay almost $4k after all said and done to remove Bladder stones and some were in his urethra. This was not an option. So the vet drained his bladder, prescribed some pain killers and prescribed Hills u/d prescription food. She said he must only eat this food. I was concerned "Swiper" would not eat this he is picky. But he loves it. Happy to report he passed whatever stones and is loving life now March 2016. Life is Good! Thanks Hills for making such a fine product good enough for my dog to like to eat. Little costly but I still saved $4k in vet bills, so worth it!

The vet recommended this food, my 13 yr old shihtzu developed blatter stones. No issues since switching to this food and he loves it! It's expensive but I want nothing but the best for my dog! Our other 3 yr old shihtzu loves the food as well and always tries to get into it so we decided to get him on a hills science diet since he needs no specialty foods currently, but he loves the taste and I assume is better for him than his current food.

my older terrier mix developed calcium oxylate stones. he loves the flavor & texture of the u/d dry. it has helped keep his urine dilute & the appropriated pH. I feel confident that it will prevent further stones from developing.

This expensive product did nothing to stop bladder stones in my toy poodle. he ate it every day after his operation for stones 2 years ago. Now he just had surgery again same stones. The food does not work!

My dog loves the dry and wet food. It seems to help her with her bladder stones so far.

I'm glad that this food is available but I wish there were a couple of flavor options. We learned that this food would be my dalmatian's only diet for the rest of his life before he was a year old. He's bored with the flavor but we've been unable to find anything else that his system will tolerate.

After our Dog had Surgery for Bladder stones, our Vet told us we needed to give this product to our dog. We were worried our Dog wouldn't eat this food because she tends to be a picky eater but she Loves it!

Our dog enjoys the new formula and we really like the new bag! Thanks!

I would be excited to see a compatible treat offered for this diet. The food is great and my dog eats it fine.

The UD product has resolved my issue with my dogs bladder stones. The only problem is that is priced too high and there are no discount coupons available to help with the cost of keeping my pet healthy.

My dog had kidney surgery and he has been on u/d prescription for 1 year and loves it. I also use the cans and make treats for him and my other dogs.

My dog has kidney and bladder stones so he was prescribed this particular bag of food. I was also recommended to soak his daily meal(s) in water to add extra water in to his diet and it also softens it up for him at the same time. He eats it immediately at each feeding time.
