My 17 year old kitty has recently begun showing signs of chronic kidney disease, and our veterinarian has suggested we try switching to a prescription diet that supports kidney function. The vet kindly provided us a few cans of Hills Science Diet k/d to try, and said if my cat enjoyed it they could order us more. If she did not like it, there are other brands we can try but they don't keep single cans of those at the clinic. So far, my cat is skeptical of the new food. I did try the Weruva Wx Phosphorus Focused non-prescription food, which she LOVES. If I mix it half and half with the prescription food, she begrudgingly eats it. I'm not sure if my veterinarian has heard of the Weruva Wx food, so I plan on asking at our appointment next week if that would be appropriate instead of the Hills Prescription food.
I've tried looking online for other prescription brands kidney support food, and many places it seems there is a minimum purchase for prescription foods. I'm happy to try a couple different brands to see what my cat would prefer, but I would hate to order a whole case if she completely dislikes it. Does anyone know of places that I can purchase only a few cans of prescription food instead of an entire case? It'd be nice to try a few different brands, flavors, and textures to see what my cat prefers, and then order a case from there.
Thanks!
