Appreciate the question — let's unpack this. Hill's T/D is a specialized dental care diet that's designed to support your pet's oral health. It's considered a "therapeutic diet," which means it's formulated to address specific health issues, like plaque and tartar buildup that can lead to dental disease. These issues aren't just cosmetic; they can affect your pet's overall health.
The reason Hill's T/D requires a veterinary prescription is to ensure it's the right choice for your pet's unique health needs. Your vet can assess if your pet could benefit from this diet and also check for any hidden dental problems or other health conditions that might need attention.
At home, you can support your pet's dental health by brushing their teeth regularly with pet-safe toothpaste, providing dental chews, and scheduling regular dental check-ups. Watch for signs of dental disease such as bad breath, difficulty eating, red or bleeding gums, and tooth loss.
If you notice any of these signs or if you're unsure if Hill’s T/D is right for your pet, this would be a great time to book a video consult with a vet through Dial A Vet to get personalized advice.

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
