|---|
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 Hairball Control Dry Cat Food - EST. Transitioning from February 2026 What's Changed: Real chicken remains the #1 ingredient! The recipe has received a gentle refresh, adding easily digestible brewers rice and pea protein while removing produce extracts to streamline digestion. The kibble has also been made slightly smaller and flatter for an easier, more comfortable crunch. 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. |

"Great biccies"
Posted byMariaon18th Jun 2022Our hairy girls love these bickies. No more hairballs found.
"Cat biscuits"
Posted byGleniceon3rd Oct 2020I used to take my 10 yr cat to the Vet's regularly because she was always vomitting, so a customer at the Pet Store heard me speaking to the Sales Assistant, and he told me just try the "Hairball control biscuits as he had done, and his cat hadn;'t been sick after eating those. So, now I give my hair all sorts of Hairball control biscuits and Digestive biscuits, and very seldom is she sick now, and no more bothering to go too the Vets.
