Hill's Science Diet/Prescription Diet Dog Food Recall Expanded

I have TWO cats like that. I think I should give them to Purina as a challenge. I've never seen two more highly allergic cats in my long life. And I've had numerous cats over the years. None of the prescription diets worked on my one cat. Losses his hair( and I mean bald with sores, not shedding) or vomits all the food up if he can't tolerate it. I finally found a holistic venison that worked for a few years, then they discontinued it. Other venison recipes didn't work. Then tried, just for the heck of it, Science diet sensitive systems. It worked. He's been on that two years now and LOW AND BEHOLD, Science Diet changes the RECIPE! To chicken! He can't eat that. So I have a few bags of old recipe left and it's back to the drawing board with him and his sister, who became allergic to her diet and is missing half her hair and I have had no luck finding something that works for her. I've been through all the "unique" proteins and I'm exhausted after several years of this crap with not one, but two felines, who can't eat the same food as the other. Not to mention the HUGE expense of having to buy bags of food that end up being money down the drain because they can't tolerate it. Chicken, fish, turkey, beef, lamb, venison, pork, rabbit, duck, quail, pea, potato, I've tried them all in limited ingredient diets and I'm down to nothing new left to try. Why do they not make a mouse diet?

Paranoiaaaaa, Thank you so much for the pin!

I'm so sad and so sorry for these poor dogs and their owners. It breaks my heart to think of the suffering these animals went through. I will never recommend any Hills product to anyone. Hills was aware of this problem back in January... so why did'nt they recall all of these products at the same time? Why wait 2 months?


This is a good example why people need to stop trusting pet food companys. Unfortunately it will happen again and it's just awful.

Hill's is the only one that makes hydrolized canned cat food. Royal Canin makes hyrolized dry food. That's it. No other company. My cat prefers the canned but will also eat the dry.

I don't get it from my vet. He charges way more. My vet gave me a prescription. I get the canned food from Chewy and the dry food at another site made by Royal Canin.

Prescription pet food consists of many different kinds, depending on what the ailment is. Believe me, I searched the internet. For my cat's problem it is only Hill's canned and Royal Canin dry.

I have not owned a dog in many years, yet I remember so many times this Science Diet crap getting recalled. Wtf? Dogs are scavengers. How bad is this damned dog food?
