When we feed a prescription food, we do use the SD version. I'm not aware of any RC diets that don't have a SD equivalent. My experience is that Hills wants what's best for the animals. If an animal is not eating any of the SD products or they don't have an equivalent product, you could feed something else.

When reading about the Hills program it says that you have to feed that food exclusively. This would be difficult for us, we us RC for our underage kittens and prescription diets like RC GI. We have many animals that go on hunger strikes and, in those times, we offer a variety of food options to hopefully find something they like. Do you run into any of this?

We have been using the Hills program for 20 years and have been very happy with it. I'm not sure what you mean by restrictive. I think with any program the company will be looking for a partnership that is mutually beneficial.

Hello,
I have been reviewing other past posts regarding food programs, these seem restrictive and/or inconsistent. We are hoping to start our animals on a consistent diet and have started a budget to be able to do this. We are hoping to find a middle of the road food that we can purchase at cost. Is anyone currently doing this that would have any advice or resources?
Thank you,
