Bingo.
My cat was supposed to be dead 2 years ago if I listened to that vet.
She's asleep in the bed in the next room.
I took her to see a vet who doesn't believe in processed pet food and started making her her own food out of chicken and some veggies or tuna and veggies.
See the other thread about pet food in this forum where I spouted off quite a bit on the evils of store bought poison, I mean store bought pet foods.

Stop feeding him Hills anything right now.
You just hit it right on the head when you stated that the Hills is more convienient.
That's all it is, other than that, it's poison.
I believe Hills is owned by Colgate Palmolive and is only interested in one thing - bottom line profit. They will do whatever they can to maximize their profit.
Pet foods ?
Doesn't get any easier to cut quality and corners does it?
I've posted tons of information here as to what I think about the commercial pet food industry.....
