Dual-Action Dry Cat Food for Urinary Care and Weight Management
Product Description
Hill's Prescription Diet c/d Multicare + Metabolic Chicken Flavor Dry Cat Food for urinary care and weight management is a complete, balanced therapeutic dry food for adult cats managing both urinary tract disease and excess body weight. This formula has been tested to lower urinary symptom recurrence by 89% and support an average 11% weight reduction in 60 days. It carries S+OXSHIELD and uses L-carnitine, higher fiber, potassium citrate, and omega-3s to manage both conditions together.
Benefits
- Dual Clinical Action: Tested in clinical trials to decrease common urinary signs by 89% and promote 11% weight loss over 60 days.
- Dissolves Struvite Stones: Created to reduce and dissolve struvite stones in cats within 7 days, typically taking about 27 days on average.
- S+OXSHIELD Protection: Encourages a urinary environment that minimizes the development of struvite and calcium oxalate crystals.
- Controlled Minerals: Provides controlled levels of magnesium, calcium, and phosphorus to lower the risk of developing struvite and calcium oxalate stones.
- L-Carnitine for Fat Metabolism: Provides L-carnitine to promote fat metabolism, helping cats reduce fat while maintaining lean body mass.
- Increased Fiber for Satiety: A fiber blend from tomato pomace and carrots helps cats feel full and satisfied between meals, reducing overeating.
- Omega-3 Fatty Acids and Antioxidants: Fish oil supplies omega-3s that strengthen the immune system and help calm urinary inflammation in cats.
- Potassium Citrate Included: Contains potassium citrate to help maintain a desirable urine pH and reduce crystal formation risk over the long term.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What conditions does c/d Multicare + Metabolic Weight Chicken dry food address?
Ans: Formulated to treat urinary issues like struvite and calcium oxalate stones and help with weight loss, this diet suits cats needing both types of care. It is especially useful for indoor, neutered, or inactive cats where these problems often occur together.
Q2: What clinical evidence supports this food's effectiveness?
Ans: This food is clinically tested to reduce the most common urinary signs by 89% and separately proven to reduce body weight by 11% in 60 days. Both outcomes are achieved with a single therapeutic food using the same proven c/d Multicare and Metabolic nutrition standards.
Q3: How is this food different from regular c/d Multicare and regular Metabolic?
Ans: Regular c/d Multicare helps with urinary health, and Metabolic helps with weight. The combined formula provides both benefits, using minerals and S+OXSHIELD for urinary support, plus L-carnitine and fiber blends for weight control.
Q4: Why are obesity and urinary disease so commonly found together in cats?
Ans: An indoor lifestyle, neutering, and low activity can raise the chances of obesity and urinary tract disease in cats. Extra weight often reduces movement and urination, leading to more concentrated urine. Treating both problems with one food is often a better approach.
Q5: Should I choose c/d Multicare + Metabolic or c/d Multicare Stress + Metabolic for my cat?
Ans: When stress is not linked to your cat's urinary problems, c/d Multicare + Metabolic is generally a good fit. For stress-related cases, the Stress + Metabolic version includes added ingredients like L-tryptophan and hydrolyzed casein. Your vet can guide you on the right formula.

1. Shipping Origin and Fulfillment
Orders are dispatched from our U.S.-based fulfillment center. We deliver to eligible addresses within the United States and to eligible international destinations shown at checkout.
If a destination, shipping service, or product is not eligible for delivery, checkout will not offer that shipping option.
2. Order Processing Time
Orders are generally processed within 1–5 business days before shipment. Processing time is separate from carrier transit time.
Our order cut-off time is 6:00 PM Pacific Time (PT). Orders placed after the cut-off time, on weekends, or on applicable holidays begin processing on the next business day.
Processing may include order verification and preparation for shipment.
3. U.S. Shipping Methods, Costs, and Transit Times
For eligible U.S. addresses, our current shipping options are:

Total estimated delivery time includes both the 1–5 business day processing period and the applicable carrier transit time. The shipping service, cost, and delivery estimate available for your order are shown at checkout before payment.
4. International Shipping
We ship to eligible international destinations. Available international shipping services, shipping charges, and estimated delivery times vary by destination and are displayed at checkout.
For eligible international orders, applicable import duties and taxes are calculated and collected at checkout where required. When these charges apply, the order is shipped on a duties-and-taxes-paid basis so that the same import charges should not be collected again at delivery.
International delivery estimates may be affected by carrier operations, customs processing, local holidays, weather, or other events outside normal transit conditions.
5. Tracking
When tracking is available, you will receive shipment confirmation with tracking information after the order has shipped. Please allow up to 48 hours for tracking information to become active after the carrier receives the shipment.
6. Address Accuracy and Changes
Please review your shipping address carefully before submitting an order. If you notice an address error, contact us as soon as possible. We will try to help before shipment, but an address change cannot be guaranteed once fulfillment or carrier processing has begun.
Additional carrier or re-delivery charges resulting from an incorrect or incomplete address may be the customer's responsibility where permitted by law.
7. Delayed or Lost Shipments
If your shipment has not arrived within the estimated delivery timeframe, please contact us. We will review the tracking information, work with the carrier when necessary, and assist with an appropriate resolution based on the circumstances.
Delivery estimates are not guarantees and may be affected by carrier delays, weather, public holidays, customs processing, or other transportation disruptions.

Products that show use, alteration, avoidable damage, missing components, or other conditions outside the eligibility requirements may be ineligible for a refund.

For eligible mail returns, a prepaid return label is included in the package.
For a standard return made for customer-choice reasons, the actual carrier postage charged for use of the prepaid return label will be deducted from the approved refund. We do not charge a separate restocking fee.
If the return is required because the item arrived damaged, defective, or incorrect and the claim is approved, we cover the return-label cost.
If you choose not to use the provided label when an alternative return method is authorized, use a trackable shipping service and keep your shipping receipt until the return is completed.
7. Original Shipping Charges
Original outbound shipping charges are non-refundable for standard customer-choice returns, except where required by law. If the return results from an approved damaged, defective, or incorrect item, applicable shipping charges will be handled as part of the resolution.
8. Refund Review and Processing
After the returned item is received, we inspect it and notify you whether the refund is approved.
If approved, the refund is issued to the original payment method. We generally process an approved refund within 1–3 business days. After the refund is issued, your bank or card provider may require an additional 5–10 business days to post the funds to your account.
