Title: Hills C/D cat food - is it bad for cats !?
Post by: bunglycat on August 03, 2008, 16:20:24 PM
I have had Smartie on this for a while now -before that he was on Hills S/D  due to urinary tract problems and crystals.
I found out online its not good to have them on the S/D long term and took it up with the vet , who put him on C/D .
I have just been reading now that this isn''t good either and has had mixed responses about other health issues it can cause- it also says there is a lot of corn and waste in the actual food ?!
Poor Smartie has enough health issues without adding to them - going to read all this to the vet tomorrow - but wondered if anyone else knew anything!?
Also -i know its better for them to eat wet food and he does eat some as much as i can make him -he will only eat Whiskers supermeat -tin and chicken flavour only and i make sure he has some at least 3 times a day .

If the food isnt working for him then make the vet review it, take a fresh urine sample too if you can get one  ;)

Hi,
The food is working for him and he does quite like it - i was just worried about the long term effect with eating this food - been reading that Hills have some rubbishy ingredients in it !
