Frequently Asked Questions

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

Ans: This food is clinically formulated for feline lower urinary tract disease 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.

Ans: Both formulas share the same S+OXSHIELD urinary care foundation and achieve an 89% reduction in urinary sign recurrence.
