Hill's Prescription Diet c/d Multicare Urinary Care Dog Food - Urinary

Our review of Hill's Prescription Diet c/d Multicare finds it most useful for adult dogs with a history of urinary crystals or bladder stones, and for pet owners following veterinary guidance. The single biggest reason to buy is its clinical focus: this formula is designed by Hill's nutritionists and veterinarians to reduce the risk of both struvite and calcium oxalate stones while remaining palatable for many dogs. Owners looking for an evidence-backed, lifelong feeding option for urinary support will appreciate the targeted nutrients and controlled mineral levels.

Key Features

• Clinical formulation: Designed by veterinarians and nutritionists to address urinary health with a targeted nutrient profile.
• Stone management: Formulated to help dissolve struvite stones and reduce the building blocks of struvite and calcium oxalate stones.
• Controlled minerals: Includes controlled levels of magnesium, calcium and phosphorus to lower risk factors associated with stone formation.
• Supportive nutrients: Enriched with potassium citrate and omega-3 fatty acids to promote urinary tract health and overall wellbeing.
• Antioxidant enrichment: Contains antioxidants to support general health and immune function in adult dogs.
• Manufactured in the USA: Made in the USA with global ingredients, offering traceability and consistent quality.

Who It's For

Hill's Prescription Diet c/d Multicare is best for adult dogs diagnosed with or at risk for urinary crystals, struvite or calcium oxalate stones, and for owners who will work closely with their veterinarian to manage a urinary condition. It is suitable as a lifelong feeding option when a vet recommends ongoing urinary support and controlled mineral intake.

Dogs without urinary issues or owners who prefer non-prescription maintenance diets should look elsewhere, since this is a veterinary diet intended to be used under professional guidance rather than as a general everyday kibble for healthy pets.
