Hill's Science Diet Adult Sensitive Stomach Dry Cat Food - 15.5-Pound Bag

I am a registered veterinary technician, and I know that this diet isn't the most premium diet available. However, I have a household of 7 cats, and it has been very difficult finding a kibble that makes every one of them happy and healthy. My cat Junior was having consistently soft smelly stools since kittenhood and was diagnosed with coronavirus, which there is no cure for and he will have to live with the rest of his life. The vet suggested trying prescription and limited ingredient formulas to see if I could find a formula that would minimize his symptoms. After trying alot of very expensive premium brands, none of them would work and most of them actually made his symptoms worse. I think I tried every diet available. And to boot, some of the other kitties hated these fancy brands and wouldn't eat them, so I had other kitties losing a dangerous amount of weight all while my boy Junior's diarrhea never got better. I finally tried Science Diet Sensitive Stomach on a lark and what do...Read more

I took in a foster cat almost one year ago and have tried almost everything to rid him of diarrhea. The vets were unable to diagnose any parasite or physical problems, and his behavior has always appeared happy and healthy. The vets said it could be a food allergy, so I began trying different foods. A couple of months ago, I bought SD Sensitive Stomach. I had been reluctant because of the ingredients - I strive to avoid foods with "meal" of any kind - as well as the price ($40 for 15.5 lbs). After a year, five other foods and several supplements, though, I was desperate. Sensitive Stomach did the trick. There was a noticeable difference within a few weeks, and the stools are completely normal now. His weight gain has been constant regardless of food, so I do not attribute that to the Science Diet brand.

The drawback is that my other two cats prefer this food to their original brand, so it's quite expensive for three cats. The other two have not gained weight with...Read more

My cat was born in August 2001, so he's almost 10 years old. Three years ago he started to throw up quite frequently. The vet ran tons of VERY EXPENSIVE tests and for the most part ruled out anything that can be treated. We tried changing food but nothing worked. I tried giving him home cooked food as well and that made throwing up even worse. So one day I was in a pet store and the clerk said he had the same problem with his cat and suggested the MOST EXPENSIVE FOOD IN STORE. I was skeptical but I had nothing to lose (but money). Three years later my cat is doing fantastic. He only throw up when I feel bad for him and give him tuna as a pity treat. He's healthy, bouncy and seems to enjoy food. The big bag lasts us for ever. We bought a bag on November 5th and today again on March 19. That's 4+ months for $40 (which is how much the bag costs in pet store). I think I can afford $10/month for my buddy. I have no idea what's in there and I don't really care. All I care is that my cat...Read more
