Prescription Cat Food - Which one?

Rambler gets Purina UR. He didn't like c/d and way back when he blocked (struvite) I didn't know about Royal Canin (and it might not have been available then.)

In any case, he likes the UR and hasn't blocked again .

Scout is on Purina U/R for her kidney stones, bladder stones and crystals. I also started Decker on it last week when he started peeing blood and the vet said to continue him on it. Since Scout has only been on it for about 6 weeks I can't say a lot about it but she is feeling much better, more playful (and bossy) and she and Decker love the taste. Of course all the other cats do too so it's a challenge to keep them out of it.

When Fister was blocked, he had Hills S/D and after the operation, we switched him to C/D. He preferred S/D, it is fatter, so has probably more taste. However, he started getting blood in his poo, so the vet recommended we mix the S/D with W/D and that helped.

Since then, he has had other brands, like Royal Canin S/O which is quite good too.But Fister really loves the Royal Canin Sensitive, and I give it as treats.

Fister gets mostly dry food, and about two spoonfulls of wet food three times a week. He also gets the occasional slice of raw meat or fish.

Hills Recuperative and A/D are the ones

that I use when the Found Ctas have dental Ouchies in thier Mouthies, and of the two I prefer the Recuperative as thats more palatable to my Senior Kittyzens.

When I worked as a tech I knew lots of kitties who were on both the Hill's and the Royal Canin, and all of them did well. Purrhaps you could get a small amount of each and see if your furkids have a preference.

My former foster Hunter was on the Royal Canin and he loved it.

Lexie is on Royal Canin SO and doing very well indeed, we started on Hills, and we had major issues with constipation,so i am no fan of hills,but from what everyone else is saying they are both good products,kitties choice i think,see which appeals most to kitties tastebuds,Lexie preferred royal canin for sure
