Top 1. 69 Complaints and Reviews about Hills Pet Foods. I'm writing this review to inform other pet owners to carefully look at the ingredients and reviews before buying a prescription dog food. My 6 year old Beagle/Chihuahua mix had struvite bladder stones which required surgery a year ago. She was on Blue Buffalo before that, with no stool problems nor change of behavior until she had the bladder stone problem. After surgery, the vet recommended putting her on Hill's Prescription Diet c/d Multicare Canine Urinary Care Dry Food so silly me, thinking the vet recommended it, I did not bother on reading up on its ingredients! In the couple months after surgery and being on Hill's, she has vomited bile, acted somewhat lethargic, and had loose, bright yellow stools. I associated the change in maybe her just having an upset stomach and not feeling well for the day but it wasn't going away, and I became shocked at how much it was slowly making my dog exhausted, and how yellow/pale her stools were coming out. Vet visits came out nothing that could contribute to the problem. Upon research I decided to switch her food out. She's now on Canidae Grain- Free kibble and her stool has been coming out a healthy brown color, no puking yellow bile, and she seems to be her happy, active self so far. I decided to let her try the Hill's one morning just one time to really test if that was the source of her problems and lo and behold, she ended up with bright yellow stool once again that same afternoon!
I've read other reviews that people have had positive results with their pets on the Hill's Diet, but I can't say that my fur baby had the same. If you read the ingredients on the Hill's Diet, the first 5 ingredients are ground whole grain corn, pork fat, chicken by- product meal, soybean meal, & corn gluten meal. Corn is difficult on a dog's digestive system and chicken by- products offer zero nutrients.. I felt like I've been hurting my dog the entire time she was on this. I took my cat to the vet for bloody urine. She has a couple kidney stones. She was put on Hills CD Urinary Wet cat food. After 6 days she became very ill, throwing up.Hills Prescription Diet ZD Skin/Food Sensitivities Adult Dog Food is for the nutritional management of dogs with food allergy or food intolerance.
