Product Changes Notice :      Hill's Science Diet - Adult and Senior Lifestage Dry Food 

From mid-late 2025 select Hill's dry food will be updated with new packaging and minor ingredient changes due to exciting scientific developments and enhancements from Hill's Pet Nutrition.   The improved recipes now include ActivBiome+ Multi-Benefit -  an advanced blend of prebiotic fibres and antioxidants that support a range of health functions.  
Only Adult and Senior Lifestage products will have a formula upgrade, but all products in the Science Diet dry food ranges will have packaging changes. 

During this time you may receive either variety as the updated products start arriving over the the remainder of the year. Some product ranges may be slower to arrive across all bag sizes. The product details on this page reflect the updated formula.
 A 7-10 day feeding transition is recommended to support pets through any adjustments to their diet. For any other questions regarding this update or your pet's food, please contact the Petdirect Customer Care team.
