Hill's c/d - Multicare - Prescription Diet - Feline
Hill's Feline c/d Multicare helps to maintain a healthy urinary tract and has been specially formulated as a long-term or life-long diet for cats with struvite related FLUTD. It reduces the risk of recurring urinary crystals or bladder stones. For idiopathic cystitis (urinary tract infection), Feline c/d Multicare pouches and canned food are particularly helpful.
Another version of Hill's c/d food is Hill's c/d Urinary Stress Feline, which contains additional ingredients (including L-Tryptophan and milk protein hydrolysate) specially designed to control stress, as stress is one of the main causes of bladder infections in cats. Furthermore, there is a reduced calorie version available: Hill's c/d Urinary Stress Reduced Calorie Feline, designed for overweight cats and cats susceptible to obesity.
Also available in Hill's Prescription Diet c/d Multicare dry food and Hill's Prescription Diet c/d Multicare wet food.

There are two types of crystals that are most commonly formed in the urinary tract of a cat, struvite and oxalate.
