Hill’s Pet Nutrition is the largest manufacturer of therapeutic diets with their Prescription Diet brand, followed by Eukanuba Veterinary Diets (Iams Company).  With Mars’ purchase of Royal Canin and Royal Canin's purchase of IVD from Heinz, and the Waltham brand going away, Royal Canin would be a growing number 3 behind Hill's, still dominant, and Iams.  Companies, such as The Iams Company, offer numerous choices for therapeutic diets"]]>Cat Food - Urinary ProductsLorekeeperSat, 13 Jun 2009 22:42:25 -0700trailfire:markId:333349http://trailfire.com/Lorekeeper/marks/333350Cat Food - Urinary ProductsLorekeeperSat, 13 Jun 2009 22:56:02 -0700trailfire:markId:333350http://trailfire.com/Lorekeeper/marks/333351Cat Food - Urinary ProductsLorekeeperSat, 13 Jun 2009 22:56:43 -0700trailfire:markId:333351http://trailfire.com/Lorekeeper/marks/333353Chicken meal, rice, corn gluten meal, ground corn, chicken fat, natural flavors, wheat

• "Talking to an animal nutritionist, or a specialty pet food shop owner"
• "My brother Tigger (who is also in this group) had struvite stones surgically removed, and he is currently on Royal Canin SO. Mom didn't understand at first why the 2 of us are on 2 different prescriptions for the same condition. However, she later learned that although Tigger is now stone free, he needs the Royal Canin to maintain his pH balance in order to prevent future stone formation. I, however, am on food designed to dissolve my existing stones, and I'm only to be on this food for a month. Afterward, I'm sure I'll be on a different diet, although not prescription."
