- Does my cat need a prescription for ONC Care?
- Yes. Hill's sells this as a prescription diet, so a veterinarian must authorize it. It is intended for cats diagnosed with cancer, not for healthy cats.
- How is ONC Care different from Hill's a/d or other recovery diets?
- ONC Care is formulated specifically for cats with cancer, with omega-3 fatty acids and a highly palatable stew texture. Recovery diets like a/d are short-term support foods, while ONC Care is meant for longer-term feeding under veterinary guidance.
- How much should I feed my cat?
- Follow the feeding amount your veterinarian sets, since it depends on the cat's weight and condition. The 2.9-oz cans let you serve small, fresh portions through the day.
- Can I feed it alongside dry food or other wet food?
- Ask your veterinarian. Many cats on this diet are fed it alone to keep the formula balanced, but some vets allow mixing with an approved dry food.
- Is it complete nutrition or a supplement?
- It is a complete and balanced wet food for adult cats, not a topper or supplement. It is designed to be the main diet during cancer care.
- How should I store an opened can?
- Refrigerate the unused portion in a covered container and use it within a day or two. Serve it at room temperature to keep the aroma strong for a cat with a poor appetite.
