Hi everyone!
My cat had some very serious UTI issues earlier this year that resulted in a major surgery and a mega vet bill for me. The vet has put him permenatly on Science Diet Prescription C/D, which dissolves bladder stones. However...it's an awful quality food! The first three ingredients are Brewers Rice, Corn Gluten Meal, and Chicken By-Product Meal. My cat doesn't like it, it makes his litterbox reek horribly, and it's making him shed so badly that my allergies, which have been fine for YEARS, are kicking back up. The vet says that food is the only option, but I'm a little suspicious since they actually sell it. Does anyone know of an alternative, high quality food that does the job? Obviously, if it's C/D or more health issues, I'll feed him to C/D, but if there's ANYTHING higher quality out there, I'd be thrilled (even wondered if I could feed him raw, and add the medicine from the C/D separately?).
