"My kitty, Goldie was having issues not keeping his food down & he had very soft poops. I was feeding him really 'healthy' food (not the cheap stuff) but his stomach couldn't handle it. My vet put him on Hills Diet i/d Digestive care. Goldie loves it & he hasn't had any problems for 3 years now."

"My cat probably has IBD and the hydrolized food is not his favorite (wont eat it some day) the vet said to try this, as its still better than most foods and a little more tasty. My cat yummed it up.. But on two occasions now has thrown it up."

Bottom Line

If your cat has digestive issues, this food is worth trying. Just be aware of palatability issues and packaging freshness.
