One cat recently had an operation for bladder stones and has been put
on Hills C/D dry food. Since we have 5 cats, it would be difficult not
to keep the same food available for all of them. My wife has noted
that it will now cost more to feed the cats than ourselves. Does
anyone know how the less expensive brands for urinary health measure
up to that very expensive (available by prescription only) stuff?

Your vet gave you recommended Hills Dry after bladder stones? WOW. My vet
who I love dearly tried to push me away from dry food for a cat on dry food
are more likely to have urinary tract problems

Many vets are not informed about nutrition Hills is a default that they all
use.

If you can switch them to wet food it would be way better. There are plenty
of dry food out there designed to help urinary tract. I use Iams and Purina
