Title: Hills Prescription Diet
Post by: Lyn on January 22, 2007, 10:32:30 AM

Just a question.
My cat George has recently been put on this food which he loves but it seems to make him go to the toilet about three times a day and the smell unbelievably bad :sick: This isn't a problem. As long as it is doing him good then I am not worried. Just wondered if this was common with this kind of food.

I found the same thing.  I tried my boys on the dry several years ago and found it gave them the smelliest poos!  So I never used it again.  I tried Jaffa on the wet food more recently and it gave him diarrheoa.  I'd try a different food that's comparable unless you're happy living with stinky poos!.  Is it the dry food you're feeding?  If so you could try Royal Canin or James Wellbeloved.

edit - just realised that you're talking about presciption diet and I'm talking about science diet  :-:  I have tried Jaffa on Hills t/d and that upset his tummy a bit too.  Royal canin do prescription diets so whatever one you're using perhaps see if there's a Royal canin one you can try?
