Hill's Prescription Diet

Hill's Prescription Diet i/d Dog Food — canned (with Turkey) review

We don't put a score on this food. It is a veterinary diet, formulated for a diagnosed condition and meant to be fed on a vet's advice. Your vet has seen your dog and we have not, so a number from us could only pull you towards their advice or away from it, and neither of those is ours to do. What follows is what the label declares, what the analysis works out at, and where to buy it, with no judgement attached to any of it.

Hill's lists this one in its Prescription Diet range as i/d with turkey, the canned form of a digestive care diet the maker intends for dogs being brought back onto food under veterinary care.
