Hill’s Prescription Diet c/d Urinary Stress + Metabolic - Chicken - cat dry food

My cat is very fussy about her food, but going from the Reduced Calorie to the new Metabolic was not much of a problem. She absolutely loved it, but the major issue now is that she is a lot hungrier and eats the portion faster than with the previous one. Not sure if it's because it tastes better, or if she is able to eat it quickly because of the bigger kibbles, but sometimes she was eating it so fast that she would throw it all up. Giving her smaller portions each time did the trick, though.

The product itself is good, but the zip that closes the packaging is flimsy and breaks after a while (confirmed over several orders). For an 8kg bag and just one cat, it’s a pain and means I have to repackage it (sometimes I use an 'old' bag that’s still intact to repackage the contents of the faulty one... not ideal).

Both cats are eating it just fine. The kibble pieces are a bit bigger than the c/d Multicare, so it helps them eat more slowly. We’ll have to wait and see if it has any effect on their weight and urine balance (we’ve been using it for 2 months now). What I have noticed, though, is that since switching, both cats have become more stressed. They weren’t completely stress-free before, but now I realise that the Multicare actually had more of an effect than I thought or noticed. So that’s a bit disappointing and annoying. I also thought this food would help with that.
