Where can I buy s/d for less $$?
My cat has just been prescribed Hill's s/d canned and dry food. I
live in Grand Rapids, Michigan and was wondering if anyone knows where I can purchase this diet for less than the price of the vet's? Currently I spend 1.70 per can and 11.30 per 4 pound bag. Are there ways to buy larger quantities for less? I have three cats and the others are eating Iams. It is too hard to feed them separatly and so if I can find the dry food for around the same price as the Iams, I would just give it to all of them. The vet said this would be ok-actually beneficial-for the other two. One person told me Farm & Fleet but I thought they went out of business. Anyway, this is a long paragraph for one question. So I'll just wait for a response now. Thanks! faielyne |

It is a short term food designed to dissolve struvite crystals and should not be fed for more than 6 months, preferably less or as soon as all signs of crystals and stones are no longer visible on radiographs or by microscopic exam of the urine. |

My vet told me that my cat would probably need to eat it for the rest of his life and that it would be ok for my other two to eat it as well. Storm is 4 and he is the one with problems. The other two are 3 and 15. I have a lot of faith in my vet, but now I'm worried. Why no more than 6 months? Are you a vet? Or do you work for one? What else can you tell me about this food? Thank you. |
