| Product Changes Notice : Hill's Science Diet - Specialty/Care Range Dry Food |
|---|
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 Oral Care Dry Cat Food What's Changed: Real chicken remains the #1 ingredient! Core ingredients like real chicken, brown rice, and dental-cleaning fiber technology remain completely unchanged. Minor produce extracts (apples, broccoli, carrots, cranberries, peas) have been removed for a more streamlined ingredient list. 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 “Chicken & Rice Recipe” replacing “Chicken 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. |

My babies love these biscuits! And keeps the pong away too
My cat is only 3 years old and had the worst teeth, her last checkup at the vets said if I didn't get onto it she would be loosing teeth. I bought these biscuits and after only 3 weeks her teeth have no brown build up and gums are no longer inflamed. I wish I took before and after photos because the difference is incredible.
All three cats love a good crunch on the Hills Oral Care They are elderly cats.
