Name: Hill's Prescription Diet i/d Digestive Care Kitten With Chicken
Brand: Hill's

Dry food · Growth & Reproduction

Therapeutic (veterinary) diet. Whether this food is right for your cat's condition is your vet's call — not our score's. We rate every food on the same scale, this one included.

Furry PI's verdict

Hill's i/d Digestive Care Kitten is a therapeutic (veterinary) diet, so its nutrient profile deliberately differs from healthy-adult targets — that is why it grades the way it does on our general scale. Whether it suits your cat's condition is a decision for your vet, not for a score. If it has been prescribed, follow that advice; our analysis is only useful for understanding what is inside.

What's concerning

Contains corn protein meal, a lower-quality ingredient.
A high carbohydrate load for an obligate carnivore — a cat's natural prey is almost carb-free.
A modest share of calories comes from protein.

What works

Chicken leads the ingredient list — the right start for an obligate carnivore.
Includes genuinely beneficial ingredients such as chicken and chicken fat.

The grade is only the cover of the case file. The free app shows the full 100-point breakdown, every flagged ingredient, and better-graded alternatives for your cat.
