c/d Multicare Urinary Care Ocean Fish Wet Cat Food 24-Pack

Our review of Hill's Prescription Diet c/d Multicare Ocean Fish wet cat food finds it best suited for adult cats with a history of urinary crystals or stones. The single biggest reason to buy is its clinical track record: this veterinary diet is formulated by Hill's nutritionists and veterinarians and is clinically tested to lower recurrence of common urinary signs by 89%, while actively dissolving struvite stones in as little as 7 days for many cats. It is a veterinary prescription diet intended for lifelong feeding when recommended by your vet and focuses squarely on supporting urinary health.

Key Features

• Clinically tested formula: Shown to lower the rate of recurrence of most common urinary signs by 89%, helping reduce relapses in susceptible cats.
• Struvite stone dissolution: Can dissolve struvite stones rapidly, often in as little as 7 days, with an average of 27 days reported in clinical settings.
• Controlled mineral levels: Contains managed levels of magnesium, calcium and phosphorus to reduce the building blocks of struvite and calcium oxalate crystals.
• Supportive nutrients: Enriched with antioxidants, potassium citrate and omega-3 fatty acids to support overall urinary tract environment and general wellbeing.
• Veterinary diet: Developed by veterinarians and nutritionists and recommended for adult cats when urinary health support is needed.

Who It's For

This product is for adult cats diagnosed or suspected to be at risk for urinary crystal or stone formation, and for owners following a veterinarian's recommendation for a prescription urinary diet. It is also suitable for cats that have shown clinical urinary signs in the past and need a diet formulated to reduce recurrence.

It is not intended for kittens, gestating or lactating females without veterinary guidance, or for owners seeking a general maintenance food with no urinary concerns. Owners who prefer non-prescription diets or who are managing dental issues rather than urinary problems should discuss alternatives with their veterinarian.
