Prescription Diet a/d is clinically tested nutrition to support dogs and cats recovering from surgery, illness or injury. It's made in the USA with global ingredients you can trust, and was developed by Hill's nutritionists and veterinarians. This food includes increased potassium to combat depletion, and has exceptional palatability to both stimulate appetite in sick inappetent pets and encourage early feeding. It also has a consistency that is smooth, soft and moist. Stirring this food makes it more liquid for maximum flexibility in feeding, whether by hand, bowl, spoon, syringe or tube. Please consult your veterinarian for further information on how Prescription Diet foods can help your dog or cat continue to enjoy a happy and active life.
