|---|
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+ Senior Vitality Dry Cat Food What's Changed: Real chicken is still the #1 ingredient! The recipe has received a minor refresh, upgrading brown rice and oats to easily digestible brewers rice and barley, while adding flaxseed for extra skin, coat, and fiber support. Feeding Transition Recommendation: Spot the New Look: The new packaging features subtle changes. The new version has “Chicken Recipe” replacing “Chicken & Rice Recipe” on the front of the bag, and the back of the new pack has an image displaying a food bowl and ingredients. |
| This page has been updated to reflect the NEW formula, but the original ingredients are listed for reference. For any questions regarding this update or our current stock status, please contact the Petdirect Customer Care team. |
