Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What urinary conditions does Hill's c/d Multicare Chicken dry food help manage?

Ans: This food is clinically formulated for feline lower urinary tract disease (FLUTD) in adult cats, including feline idiopathic cystitis, struvite urolithiasis, and calcium oxalate urolithiasis. It is best suited for cats whose FLUTD is not complicated by stress triggers or excess body weight.

Q2: How does c/d Multicare Chicken differ from c/d Multicare Stress Chicken?

Ans: Both formulas share the same S+OXSHIELD urinary care foundation and achieve an 89% reduction in urinary sign recurrence. The Stress variant adds L-Tryptophan and Dried Hydrolyzed Casein to help manage stress-related urinary episodes. The standard Chicken formula is appropriate when stress is not a known trigger.

Q3: How quickly does this food dissolve struvite stones in cats?

Ans: This food is formulated to dissolve struvite stones in as little as 7 days, with an average dissolution time of 27 days. Individual results vary based on stone size and the cat's response. Your veterinarian will monitor progress with periodic urinalysis and imaging to confirm dissolution.

Q4: Can this food be used long-term or only during acute urinary episodes?

Ans: Recommended for ongoing use, Hill's c/d Multicare with Chicken is a complete and balanced diet for adult cats. It supports long-term urinary health and helps reduce the chance of crystals and stones coming back.

Q5: Can I feed this food to all my cats if only one has urinary issues?

Ans: Many veterinarians consider c/d Multicare appropriate for all healthy adult cats in a multi-cat household where one cat requires the diet. It should not be fed to cats with kidney disease, hypertension, or those that are pregnant or lactating. Always confirm with your veterinarian first.
