|---|
From October 2025 this product is transitioning as part of updates to select products in the Hill's Science Diet range of Specialty/Care based dry foods. There are minor ingredient changes, and some products will have changes to the shape and/or size of the kibble. Hill's Science Diet Adult 7+ Hairball Control Senior Dry Cat Food- EST. Transitioning from February 2026 What's Changed: Real chicken remains the #1 ingredient! The recipe has received a refresh—introducing gentle, easily digestible cracked pearled barley and pea protein, while streamlining the recipe by removing fruit and vegetable extracts. There are no changes to the overall flavour profile or feeding performance. Feeding Transition Recommendation: Spot the New Look: The new packaging features subtle changes. The new version has no kibble/biscuit image on the front of the bag, and the back of the new pack has an image displaying a food bowl and ingredients. |
