Hill's Prescription Diet

Hill's Prescription Diet k/d + Mobility 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.

The k/d plus Mobility stew is a chunks and gravy recipe made with chicken and added vegetables. Hill's sells it in the Prescription Diet range, and says it is for dogs with kidneys and joints under management together.

WetAdult

A chicken stew with added vegetables in Hill's Prescription Diet range, which Hill's says is for dogs with kidneys and joints under management together. It is written in named ingredients, so you can read straight down the tin. We print the label and leave the judgement to your vet.

Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs whose kidneys and joints are both being managed by a vet
A dog that has stopped clearing its bowl. Digest is worked in as a palatant
Owners who like a label in named ingredients over category headings
Dogs that react to soya meal, since the soybean oil here is refined and carries no protein across

Worth watching

Animal fat is the one entry that does not name its animal
No moisture or ash figure, so the analysis cannot go on a dry matter basis
Vitamins and trace elements listed with no doses
