I am late to this conversation but just in case no one else has mentioned it...Hill's is Science Diet. I personally prefer Purina to Hill's...prescription or otherwise...the latter's protein values are low and they are ridiculously expensive for the product they put out. Hill's just recently changed all the weights on their foods and raised the prices.

Animal hospitals use Hill's out of a force of habit since they've been around forever but there are other good prescription foods out there.

I've recently switched to Wellness dry food for both my dogs and my cats. They do not use animal by-products, wheat, corn or soy. Their ingredients begin with their protein source such as chicken, lamb, fish, etc...

Protein is especially important for cats because they are obligate carnivours. In the wild, dogs and especially cats do not eat corn and/ or other fillers.

I also have no problems adding left over vegetables, fruits, and meat, poultry or fish to their food (no onions, grapes are raisens). So long as they don't beg at the table they will get our left overs when we are done eating.

Also, I do supplement my dog's dry food w/ a raw diet...I use B.A.R.F. (Biologically Accurate Raw Food).

I'd rather pay the money up front and have my pets on a good diet in order to save money in vet bills in the long run...so far it's worked.

This pet food recall is infuriating, many companies have been packaging filler, by-products, and sh*t, and calling it pet food for years, it's a wonder something like this hasn't happened sooner.

They will still pack their foods with '$*it'. All road kill including cats are used as food. It's disgusting. Nothing will change. Companies are too greedy. They keep lowering the quantity and quality and raise prices. I've heard everyone talk about Wellness. But the can the size of a fancy feast can is .92 cents each! Do they have dry food too?

I never noticed that brand in the store...

Thanks for the information! Wednesday (who has a urinary tract infection) has lost half a pound in the last couple of months eating mainly Purina's "older cats" formula, so I probably won't get another bag of Hill's when my replacement bag is used up.

Do you get the "Wellness" products at PetsMart?
