I, too, was advised by my vet to give Hill's Science Diet t/d prescription food as dental treats. And after I'd purchased a small bag, I read the ingredient list and was shocked! I flat out refuse to give my cats anything with such poor ingredients. Yes, the kibble is a larger size that prompts a cat to chew but the kibble isn't really that crunchy. It's rather fragile and crumbles easily without much force. t/d food is prescription and it has Chicken By-Product Meal as the 1st ingredient? Really? That's the parts of the chicken (feet, beaks, etc.) that are used as filler and have absolutely NO nutritional value whatsoever. It's also one of the primary cheap and poor proteins that are the leading cause of food allergies in both cats and dogs. You can get those ingredients in grocery store food for a lot less $$$ and without a prescription. On top of that, the 2nd and 3rd ingredients are fillers, too. I don't know about anyone else, but I love my cats and care about their nutrition and health. They get a grain-free limited ingredient diet that they're doing really well on.

One of my guys was just diagnosed with osteoarthritis in his right hip and knee and needs glucosamine and chondroitin supplements. Since he eats dry food only and he won't touch anything with liquid or powder in or on it, I'm going to have to feed a prescription food. My vet recommends Science Diet j/d. Not happening. Look at this ingredient list:

Ingredients

Brewers Rice, Corn Gluten Meal, Chicken By-Product Meal, Pork Fat (preserved with mixed tocopherols and citric acid), Soybean Mill Run, Fish Oil, Chicken Liver Flavor, Flaxseed, L-Lysine, Lactic Acid, Calcium Carbonate, Potassium Citrate, Choline Chloride, DL-Methionine, Potassium Chloride, Vitamin E Supplement, Cysteine, vitamins (Vitamin E Supplement, L-Ascorbyl-2-Polyphosphate (source of vitamin C), Niacin, Thiamine Mononitrate, Vitamin A Supplement, Calcium Pantothenate, Biotin, Riboflavin, Vitamin B12 Supplement, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Folic Acid, Vitamin D3 Supplement), Taurine, L-Threonine, minerals (Manganese Sulfate, Ferrous Sulfate, Zinc Oxide, Copper Sulfate, Calcium Iodate, Sodium Selenite), Iodized Salt, L-Tryptophan, L-Carnitine, preserved with Mixed Tocopherols and Citric Acid, Magnesium Oxide, Phosphoric Acid, Beta Carotene, Rosemary Extract.

Again, the 1st 3 ingredients are fillers and there's that Chicken By-Product Meal thing again. This food with harmful ingredients is "prescription" food at a premium price? What I don't understand is how a vet, who supposedly is in the business of keeping our beloved family furballs healthy, can promote and recommend such low quality food. Mine isn't the only one, it seems to really common to have the vet recommend Science Diet first. So even though I like my vet, I'm switching to a new one who carries additional and healthier brands of prescription food and isn't a commissioned sales person for Hill's.

Good product! Cats love them. I give them as treats. They are a healthy alternative to regular cat treats. Would recommend to a friend.

My cats eat both luxury canned food as well as dry food. Once we started feeding this as "treats" per the Vet's instructions, this is all they wanted to eat. It's fully loaded with all they need and is so much easier. My cats clean their plates....no leftover wet food to dry out and smell! This is the best. Even at the higher price per pound vs. the grocery store dry food, it is a great value. They each eat about 10 to 12 of the large nuggets for breakfast, lunch, dinner and prior to bedtime....which is in line what the label recommends.
