Do you need a vet's prescription to get Hill's Prescription Diet? Since they only sell it at the vet's I didn't know. My 2 Birman kittens will be ready to leave the breeder in 3 weeks (yay!) She's been feeding them Hill's Prescription c/d, Medi-Cal Developmental & Wellness. Both canned & dry. I don't want to have to buy all those different kinds of food. I have a "thing" about canned food. Years ago when I was house sitting for a friend I kept smelling something rotten. A bowl of canned cat food was on the back porch & it was all maggoty. This is in the middle of August too. Gag! I threw the dish & everything out. My hair on the back of my neck is standing up even thinking about it. So I've never fed canned food to any of my cats. BUT...if that's what the breeder recommends, so be it. Only the best for my Furby & Frisbee. Her adults are grand champions so she must be doing something right!
Oh yeah, the original question. Do I need a prescription?
