Hill's Prescription Diet: a/d with Chicken Wet Dog/Cat Food
Hill's Prescription Diet: a/d with Chicken Wet Dog/Cat Food
Hill's Prescription Diet a/d with Chicken is a clinically tested, complete nutrition formula specially developed by Hill's nutritionists and veterinarians to support dogs and cats during recovery from surgery, illness, or injury. Its smooth, moist texture can easily transition from a gel to a liquid state, making it suitable for hand feeding, bowl, spoon, syringe, or tube feeding.
How it works:
- During recovery, a pet's metabolism changes significantly. Under stress, the body's natural defenses weaken, making proper nutrition critical for healing.
- The formula provides highly digestible, high-quality protein and fat to meet increased energy demands during the recovery period.
- For animals with gastrointestinal complications, a 3-day transition protocol is recommended: Day 1: 1/3 of daily caloric intake diluted with 2/3 water; Day 2: 2/3 of daily caloric intake diluted with 1/3 water; Day 3: Full daily caloric amount.
- Daily intake should be divided into 3–6 smaller meals to minimize gastrointestinal side effects.
Key Benefits:
- High-quality, highly digestible protein and fat to meet elevated energy requirements during recovery.
- Elevated antioxidant levels clinically proven to support the immune system and reduce oxidative stress.
- Increased B vitamins and zinc to aid skin recovery and support the body's natural defenses.
- Added potassium to help minimize nutrient losses during illness.
- Highly palatable formula to stimulate appetite in sick or recovering pets and encourage early voluntary feeding.
- Versatile texture — smooth and moist, can be served by hand, bowl, spoon, syringe, or feeding tube.
