There is no gluten in the Hill's

Just in case not everyone knows - r/d stands for reducing diet. It is for overweight cats or cats with diabetes, not to be used for growing animals as it does not have sufficient calories or nutrients for proper growth.

I use their Senior Formula for my 15 year old cat. We both love it

I've got mine on the Prescription Hills d/d, but I also give them Natural Balance Green Pea & Venison.

Yup, I should have mentioned this. But I'm pretty sure you have to have a prescription for it to buy it anyway. We buy it from our vet and tried to buy it from Pet Smart one time and they wouldn't let us without a prescription. At the vet, they always ask our name and our pet's name before they let us check out.

That said, my cat is so fat that this seems to be doing absolutely nothing in dropping her weight but it does, at least, keep her from gaining. Guess we can't hope for too much!

Of course we do. They are cuddly, cute and calming. But sometimes they become crazy with the full moon. But we still love them.

Hi All, what do you use for cat litters? is there anything "gluten free"? Thanks.

Most cat litters are actually fine. There is one brand, I think it's called S'wheat, that is not safe.

I use Scoop Away--I called the company, and it's perfectly safe--mostly clay.

Cat litter is almost always gluten-free.

There is a brand named "Swheat Scoop" which is made entirely from wheat. I understand that there is one sold in the US, but not yet in Canada, that is made of barley.

Clay litters, whether clumping or not may have odor-control substances or fragrances added, but these are not usually sources of gluten. Some brands add baking soda, but again, not a worry.

If you want a biodegradable, flushable clumping litter, try "World's Best Cat Litter." It is made entirely of corn, is gluten-free, and very low in dust.

Thanks for the info on Scoop Free litter! Does anyone know of some other brands of cat food (kitten food) that is confirmed gluten free?

thanks

My cats eat Prescription Hills k/d which does not have any gluten ingredients. The k/d formula is for cats with kidney problems. I have not had any problems with this cat food.
