Thanks for reaching out with your concern. It sounds like your vet recommended Hill's C/D to address specific health needs, possibly related to urinary tract health or bladder stones, as this diet is often used for those issues.
Switching diets can feel uncertain, but it’s targeted to help dissolve existing stones and prevent new ones. When transitioning to a new food, do so gradually over 7-10 days by mixing the new food with the old to avoid gastrointestinal upset. Keep a close eye on your dog's reaction, looking for changes in appetite or stool consistency, and encourage them to stay hydrated.
Watch for signs like blood in the urine, frequent urination with small amounts, or obvious discomfort, as these could indicate ongoing issues despite the diet change. If you notice any of these, it's a good idea to consult with your vet promptly.
Remember, any changes to your pet's health or behavior are worth discussing with a professional. If you still feel unsure or need personalized advice, consider booking a video consult with Dial A Vet. We’re here to help you feel confident in your pet care decisions.
