Hubcitypam Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 (edited) The Sunday vet I went to last week gave me an 8# sample bag of j/d. Both she and my vet said it was one of the most expensive foods out there - $27.99 for 8 pounds. My vet said he wasn't crazy about it (mark it down - a vet that doesn't like a Hill's product)and if you didn't use it up fast enough the fish oils break down. I opened it tonight to start mixing it in. OMG...it was like walking through a cannery _ he was right about the fish oil. Even if I wanted to pay $3.50 a pound for kibble I couldn't stand the smell.

krissy Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 I love Hill's J/D. I've fed it to Summit for almost 3 years. He loves it. Best poops I can get on it. Beautiful coat. He limps less on his arthritic leg. I wanted to feed Kili all sorts of other foods. I tried a Purina 30/20 because she's so active and was looking REALLY skinny for awhile. She was "meh" about it. I tried to feed her Orijen 6 Fish - she was extremely MEH about the stuff. Kept trying to steal Summit's food from his bowl. Finally relented and started mixing her Orijen 50/50 with the J/D which got her eating. Now she's on 100% J/D and hasn't skipped a meal since. Was having issues with on and off diarrhea before no matter what I fed her. Now, no problems. Don't care what anyone thinks about Hill's products. This SPECIFIC Hill's food... I love. And... I actually really like the smell when I open a fresh bag of food.

Guest sirsmom Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 The Hill's regular version is called Healthy Mobility and it worked our mix when she had on and off limping. It must be way cheaper than j/d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
