Urinary Stone Prevention Chicken, Vegetable & Rice Stew Wet Dog Food in Convenient Pouches

Product Description

This prescription stew is backed by clinical evidence for reducing the risk of both struvite and calcium oxalate bladder stones in adult dogs. Real chicken, carrots, green peas, and rice make up the base, with controlled magnesium, calcium, and phosphorus levels targeting the root cause of stone formation. Potassium citrate, fish oil, and antioxidants round out the urinary support. Each 2.8 oz single-serve pouch is AAFCO certified complete and balanced, made in the USA.

Benefits

• Dual Stone Protection: Struvite and calcium oxalate are the two most common bladder stones in dogs. This formula targets the mineral conditions that allow both to develop.
• Mineral Level Management: Magnesium, calcium, and phosphorus are each held at controlled levels, lowering their concentration in urine and reducing the conditions that lead to crystal formation.
• Urinary pH Balance: Potassium citrate is added to help keep urinary pH within a range that discourages calcium oxalate crystal development, particularly in dogs with a known tendency toward stones.
• Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Fish oil and flaxseed supply omega-3s that support urinary tract health and help keep inflammation in the urinary system in check over the long term.
• Antioxidant Immune Support: Vitamin E and beta-carotene are included at clinically proven levels to protect cells from oxidative damage and maintain a well-functioning immune response.
• Controlled Fat and Sodium: Fat content and sodium are both kept low, reducing the risk of secondary health issues that can arise in dogs on extended urinary care programs.
• Single-Serve Convenience: Each 2.8 oz pouch holds one pre-portioned serving, making it straightforward to feed the right amount, whether that's one meal or split across two.
• Real Chicken Stew Base: Chicken pieces with carrots, rice, and green peas in a savory gravy give this food a texture and taste that most dogs take to readily, which matters when the diet needs to be maintained long term.

How to Use

Directions for Use

• Veterinary Prescription Required: This is a prescription therapeutic diet; a valid veterinary prescription is required before purchase and it must only be fed under ongoing veterinary supervision.
• Feed Exclusively for Best Results: Feed c/d Multicare exclusively as the sole diet; dry and wet c/d Multicare formulas may be combined or alternated as directed by your veterinarian.
• Transition Gradually over 7 Days: Mix increasing amounts of this new food with decreasing amounts of the old diet over 7 or more days to avoid digestive disruption during the dietary change.
• Ask Your Vet for Specific Daily Amounts: Feeding recommendations are a starting guide only; your veterinarian will determine the correct daily amount based on your dog's body weight and body condition.
• Remove Uneaten Food Within 4 Hours: Any uneaten wet food left in the bowl should be discarded within 4 hours at room temperature to prevent bacterial growth and spoilage.
• Adjust Portions to Maintain Healthy Weight: Monitor your dog's body condition regularly and adjust feeding amounts as needed; consult your vet before making any changes.
• Keep Fresh Water Available: Always provide clean, fresh water alongside meals to support urinary health, hydration, and to help dilute urine mineral concentration in dogs prone to bladder stones.

Additional Information

Precautions

• Medical Condition Restrictions: Dogs with hyperlipidemia, pancreatitis, or those currently on urinary acidifiers should not be given this diet. Your vet can confirm whether it's appropriate.
• Adult Dogs with Urinary Stones Only: This is a targeted therapeutic diet for adult dogs diagnosed with struvite or calcium oxalate stone conditions, not a general-purpose food for healthy dogs.
• Regular Urinary Monitoring: Periodic urinalysis helps your vet track urinary pH, watch for crystal activity, and assess how well the diet is managing your dog's condition over time.
• Single-Pet Use: This diet was prescribed for one specific dog. Other pets in the home need their own veterinary assessment before this food is considered suitable for them.
• Safe Storage Always: Pouches and all associated packaging must be kept well out of reach of both pets and children to avoid any risk of accidental ingestion or suffocation.

Possible Side Effects

• Digestive Adjustment Period: Some dogs may experience temporary changes in stool consistency or mild digestive upset when first transitioning to this new prescription wet food formula.
• Increased Urination: As this food supports urinary health and encourages higher fluid intake through its wet format, some dogs may urinate more frequently than usual during the adjustment period.
• Reduced Appetite Initially: Some dogs may show reduced interest in this new food during the transition period; a gradual 7-day dietary switch helps ease the adjustment process.

Storage Information

• Unopened Pouch Storage: Until you're ready to use them, sealed pouches should sit somewhere with stable, moderate temperature and no exposure to light or heat.
• Refrigerate After Opening: Leftover food from an opened pouch needs to be covered and refrigerated right away. Plan to use it within five to seven days.
• Discard Uneaten Food: Wet food left in the bowl past the four-hour mark at room temperature is no longer safe to serve and should be thrown out.
• Do Not Freeze: Do not freeze opened or unopened pouches as this can alter the texture and nutritional integrity of the stew.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What types of bladder stones does Hill's c/d Multicare Chicken, Vegetable & Rice Stew help manage in dogs?

Ans: Hill's Prescription Diet c/d Multicare is formulated to help reduce the risk of both struvite and calcium oxalate bladder stones — the two most common types of urinary stones found in dogs. Controlled levels of magnesium, calcium, and phosphorus reduce the mineral concentrations that form the building blocks of these stones.

Q2: What role does potassium citrate play in Hill's c/d Multicare dog food?

Ans: Potassium citrate helps maintain an appropriate urinary pH that discourages the formation of calcium oxalate crystals. It also acts as an alkalizing agent, reducing urinary acidity, which is particularly important for dogs prone to calcium oxalate stones that tend to form in more acidic urine.

Q3: Why is the 2.8 oz pouch format beneficial for dogs on a urinary prescription diet?

Ans: The single-serve 2.8 oz pouch format makes precise portion control simple and eliminates leftover food storage concerns after each serving. It is particularly convenient for smaller dogs, for splitting daily meals across multiple feedings, and for pet owners who prefer a mess-free, pre-portioned feeding option during long-term urinary disease management.

Q4: Can I use Hill's c/d Multicare pouches together with the c/d Multicare dry dog food?

Ans: Yes. Hill's c/d Multicare dry and wet formulas can be combined or fed concurrently. Combining both formats can improve palatability and significantly increase daily fluid intake, which helps dilute urine mineral concentration — a key factor in reducing bladder stone recurrence in dogs with urinary conditions. Confirm the appropriate daily amounts with your veterinarian.

Q5: Can Hill's c/d Multicare wet dog food be given to a dog with a history of pancreatitis?

Ans: No. Hill's c/d Multicare is not recommended for dogs with hyperlipidemia, pancreatitis, a history of pancreatitis, or those at risk of pancreatitis. These dogs require a low-fat formulation; your veterinarian may recommend Hill's Prescription Diet c/d Multicare Low Fat as a more appropriate alternative.

Q6: How often should my dog's urinary health be monitored while on this diet?

Ans: Urine testing at regular intervals lets your vet check pH levels, look for early crystal activity, and judge how well the diet is holding up. How often that testing happens depends on your dog specifically, including how long they've had urinary issues and how complex their stone history is. Your vet will work out a schedule that fits.

Q7: Do I need a prescription to purchase Hill's Prescription Diet c/d Multicare pouches for my dog?

Ans: Yes. This is a therapeutic prescription food requiring a valid veterinary prescription before purchase. Your veterinarian must evaluate your dog's urinary condition, confirm the presence or risk of struvite or calcium oxalate stones, and recommend this diet as part of a supervised management plan before you can obtain it.
