Hello again.
Here is the reply I got back from my Hills contact today:
“Yes, unfortunately we have been struggling with the raw materials at our quality standards. Our z/d cat tinned has been particularly affected and we are anticipating a return to full stocking there in December/January.
However the dry is fully available. Hope this helps!”
I was unaware of the shortage currently, we must have a secret store at my practice! 🙂
I also asked her regarding possible Hills alternatives and got the following reply:
“We do have the d/d single protein duck, however this is also only available in a dry for cats. But it would be a decent alternative if they needed a limited ingredient diet and just didn’t like the z/d but were ok with dry food in general.

We also find that about half of cats with IBD do well on the Gastrointestinal Biome rather than on a hydrolysed diet, so that’s worth trying and there is a dry, a stew tin and a pouch available.

I hope that helps!
