My cat (4 yo maine coon male) had a urinary blockage a couple years ago. He was prescribed hills prescription s/d which I can no longer find in stores. Is there a non prescription food you can recommend?

Hi there, a little while back Hills re-formulated their diets for urinary concerns and changed the name. The product that is like s/d is now called "urinary multicare" . It is very important that Stoli says on a prescription food designed for prevention of urinary crystals. "Over the counter " pet store foods do not prevent formation of crystals and stones which can cause another blockage.
