I really trust Hills Science,and the cats love it too! My youngest 2yr old DSH cat Frankie has had urinary problems-so i supplement a cheaper product with Hills Science Diet, and give a few a day to my bigger boy Winston-as they are bigger than his kibble he really has to chew it-so hopefully cleans his teeth too!
