What is the difference between Prescription Diet™ and Science Plan™ brand pet foods?

Our expert answered:

Hill’s Prescription Diet™ pet foods are formulated to help manage pets that are affected by specific medical conditions. Hill’s Science Plan™ pet foods are formulated to meet the needs of healthy pets during their different life stages. Prescription Diet foods are only available from your pet's veterinarian, while Science Plan foods are available both from your veterinary clinic and at pet stores and some garden centers. Hill’s does not make Science Plan products that serve as substitutes for Prescription Diet products.
