Hill's Prescription Diet

Hill's Prescription Diet i/d Stew for Dogs 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.

i/d Stew is the chunks in gravy version of Hill's i/d line, sold inside the Prescription Diet range. It carries the same digestive care brief as the rest of that line, and Hill's aims it at dogs who eat more willingly from a stew than a loaf.

The chunks-in-gravy version of Hill's i/d, sold in the Prescription Diet range with the same digestive care brief as the rest of the line. Hill's aims it at dogs who eat more willingly from a stew than a loaf. It is meant to be fed on a vet's advice, so we print what the label declares and leave the judgement to the vet.

Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs on a vet-led digestive care plan
Dogs that eat a stew more readily than a loaf
Owners who want the calcium on paper: it works out at 0.92% of dry matter
A dog that needs volume in the bowl. Four fifths of it is water, at 78 kcal per 100g

Worth watching

Only chicken and egg are named to species; the rest sits inside the derivatives wording
Various sugars fourth on the list, there to make the gravy behave like gravy
