RE: What do you think about having to have a Prescription
I can see the point of making a diet that is specifically made to be "not balanced" for a normal animal to consume, a prescription diet. And if claims are made that it affects health in a specific way, there's that to consider.
A hypo-allergenic diet, however, has no reason to be RX unless there's something about it (like a lack of a particular nutrient set) that makes it inappropriate for most animals. I know Hills and Royal Canin both make hypo-allergenic modified/low protein diets for dogs that are sensitive to protein. Those diets might not be appropriate as a "diet" for most dogs. But treats? Get real. Especially where it's something that's a "normal diet" made with novel protein/carb sources.
And apparently Royal Canin feels the same way since they let Entirely pets sell dozens of their foods, many of which are "prescription diets, in the Hills line," without a prescription. I didn't see the treats though, Lance. I guess you could call and check, or check at other pet food seller sites on the web.
Thanks Susan!

RE: What do you think about having to have a Prescription
Well as to my knowledge, there isn't any drugs in food, but food! Heck on second thought there otta be something in there since Anonymous Jr.'s dang Venison and Potato is around $80.00 to $100.00 buck'ah roohs a case.
But the main thing that get's me mad is you gotta have a prescrip to buy the dang thing! Which is a pain in the butt when you need it!

RE: A good day!
Interesting... I buy non prescription items from Entirely Pets.com all the time but I never attempted to buy something like Renal formula food from them since it is readily available within a few miles and I have a prescription. The price on the website is a little less than what I pay but sometimes shipping charges eat up any savings. I might combine some of the food with a few other items next time I need something and get free shipping.
With that said, I would strongly suggest that anyone wanting to change to this diet to consult with their vet and have their cat examined BEFORE making the change even if you don't need a prescription on some websites.
Interesting thing going on now, prescription diet has always been a marketing designation rather than a legal one. Some states may vary and many individual businesses require a prescription. There has been a move to make prescription diets prescription under the regulation of the FDA as other prescription items. This may come to pass in the future.
Most prescription diets are not "ideal" diets for general use, but probably not a serious issue in most situations. It's just felt by many that the use should be under the direction of a veterinarian.
Doug, DVM
This is one area that I don't understand. This stuff is just food (with no drugs in it right?), so why the hassle about having to have a prescription?
I always thought it was a way to p*ss me off when I need to buy Anonymous Jr's hypo-allergenic treats and his Royal Canin Limited Ingredient Venison and Potato which at (depends where you are in the States) $80.00 to a $100.00 bucks a case! You'd think they'd make it easy to buy!
I mean aside from me, who in their right mind would spend that kind of bucks on food, right?

RE: Boondocking at Walmart
As for me, call me whatever you want, but I just park where the OTR's are parked (if there's space) on an exit in the middle of no where! and or find my own exit to park at (done that many a times)!
But I see no reason why not to park at a Wal*Mart if it's OK at that location! Park, shop, get some quick Z's, and not bother anyone warming up the ol'diesel in the early AM our late night hours.
What's so bad about that? .... :h
But again, I lile finding a place out in no where land! It's dark at night, quite, run the ol'Onan with no neighbors to bother, or better yet no neighbors at all, and Anonymous Jr. likes it to when he goes outside to play ball and do his thing!
