A prescription diet is food made to help manage a health condition, such as urinary crystals, kidney disease, a sensitive stomach or a food allergy. Your veterinarian recommends the right one and checks how your pet is doing on it.
Prescription diets are made for specific conditions, and the wrong one can make another problem worse. That is why they are sold with a veterinarian's approval. Your vet will also tell you how long to feed it and when to recheck.
Unless your vet says otherwise, mix the new food in gradually over about a week to avoid an upset stomach. Stick to treats your vet approves, because other treats can undo the diet's benefits.
