This food has helped my cat out so much. His stool was always very soft and a mess to clean. Sometimes it was pretty much all liquid with a small amount of form. No matter what I did, it never helped. Until I came across this food. Within just a few weeks, his stool was finally normal. Highly recommend this amazing food from this amazing company!

I purchased because I had a cat with extreme digestive issues. He can’t get enough of this food. No more diarrhea and throwing up. I have two other cats and they are eating it too. Before I had 3 different foods now all of them eat the same. They beg for it. I’m hoping by correcting the above issues our cat will put on weight. It’s such a relief to see him being able to eat without side effects. I also used the urgent care wet for a couple of weeks to get him settled down then switched to biome.

Sharp Object Found in the Kibble

I found something very sharp and very hard sticking out of one piece of kibble. Also the new bag I received has thinner and slightly darker kibble and definitely looks a little different than the old bag. This is supposed to be prescription food to help cats with digestive issues yet sharp and hard objects, potentially posing a serious risk of internal injuries are present into the food. I don’t know if it’s safe to keep feeding my cat with this food. Otherwise, he really likes the taste.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Five stars on Biome

Aunt Maur

After months of diarrhea and occasionally pooping out of the box, our dear, four year-old rescue, had gone through metronidazole, probiotics and various dietary changes which were unsuccessful. Forti Flora paste was helpful temporarily until we could find an answer.. our vet agreed to prescribe biome and literally within a week Zeke was doing fine and no out of box accidents. He has been on it nearly 6 weeks and he has regular stools, but he’s a little stinky. He was always one that could clear a room, but Biome has been highly effective as it says it will be. Just wish it wasn’t so expensive. Our other rescue had always tended to be constipated. The two eat together and biome advertises that it is also good for constipation due to the fiber additions. Now Coco has normal movements as well. Go figure…. With the power.

Yes, I recommend this product.

My cat hates this, and so do I.

Colgate / Palm olive owns this brand, Banfield and also Petsmart. My cat is very allergic to chicken AND pork. Unfortunatelym this is the ONLY food that Banfield would prescribe for a cat with IBS and pancreatitis; which is strange because Banfield and the vets are fully aware that my cat is allergic to chicken & pork. lucky my cat snubbed this food because she knows she hates chicken. This is VERY likely because of the "verticality of this" but at the very least if private equity is going to force vertical integration between subsidiaries AT LEAST have the forethought to allow your subsidiary's doctors to prescribe other options OR MAKE other food options.

Good but for better eating, a pate option would be awesome for our kitty.

Questions

1 - 7 of 7 Questions

This Gastrointestinal Biome formula is a great product and has helped digestive issues in my cat since starting this diet. However, my cat had enjoyed the wet can version too and am wondering if this product will come back to being available.

    Why do you need to add synthetic V-K (menadione) to this food?   This substance has some research indicating a possible negative health consequence.  Most cat food manufacturers only add it to fish based foods.

      Is it still possible to buy Hill's® Prescription Diet® Gastrointestinal Biome Feline Chicken & Vegetable Stew (canned wet food). I cannot find it anywhere. Thanks.

      1. Thank you for your question. At the moment we are experiencing low stock levels on a limited number of products, including Prescription Diet® Gastrointestinal Biome Feline Chicken & Vegetable Stew due to an increase in demand. We understand how frustrating this can be so we have increased our production to replenish these products as quickly as possible. Please don’t worry, we are making food as fast as we can!



      If I give this to my cat, do I need to discontinue the wet foods I give him?

      1. Thank you for you inquiry. We would not recommend feeding your pet more than one product at a time. Our products are formulated to be 100% nutritionally complete and address your pet's special needs. When you mix Hill's products together or mix another brand of pet food with our products, you may minimize these benefits. However, if your veterinarian has recommended mixing diets due to your pets special medical condition, please follow their advice. Hill's Pet Nutrition



      How many packs of one box of 8.5lbs? Also may i have the size one box?

      1. Thank you for your question. Prescription Diet Gastrointestinal Biome Feline dry food comes in a 4 lb. and 8.5 lb bag. Hill's Pet Nutrition



      Is this food okay for cats with constipation also? I have a cat who has IBD with diarrhea and one that is always constipated.

      1. My young cat had hard, dry poops, sometimes with a piece or two outside his litterbox. He has been eating thus food for a couple weeks and his poop seems to be better. Inside the box and not dry like before. He was eating all wet food before and countless brands but his poop was still hard until we tried this.



      I would like to know if possible if the food is still working for the person who left the review cause I have a cat w/the exact same symptoms?

      1. Not the reviewer, but I have an 11 year old cat that had the very same issue. We tried just about everything until our vet suggested this food. We've used it for the last 9 months. It took her a week or so to get used to the taste (we slowly transitioned the old food out). We noticed the difference in her stool after about a day. It's a little pricey, but it beats getting up in the middle of the night (every night) to clean diarrhea out of the carpet!
