Hi Martin,

My cats have to be on HILLS prescription diet too. Although the cost may
seem expensive, it is in fact cheaper than cans for several reasons.
Firstly, the cats are satisfied with less dry food so therefore don't eat as
much. Secondly, the cats aren't getting sick so less vet bills.

Sorry, nothing to send except purrs that your babies will live a long,
happy, time yet. And, purrs that someone else will have some help with
finding a cheaper alternative

You have my sympathy, as another slave to a CRF cat.

Mine is on Hill's g/d, as he refuses to eat k/d.  As far as I know,
there are no cheaper alternatives in terms of getting Hill's at a
discount.  However, you may want to call around your local vet's
offices.  Some mark up the food more than others, and you may be able
to find it a *little* cheaper elsewhere.  Most places will sell you
the food as long as you have a receipt from your vet that s/he has
sold it to you before.

The only other thing is that I have heard Purina has a CRF diet,
although I don't know if it is any good.  I personally would stick
with the Hill's if you can.

Best of luck,

Ginger-lyn
