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 Perfect Weight Dry Cat Food - EST. Transitioning from February 2026 What's Changed: Real chicken remains the #1 ingredient! The recipe and kibble shape have received a minor refresh, moving to a single heart-shaped kibble (from mixed discs and hearts) while removing fruit and vegetable extracts to streamline the recipe and support healthy daily digestion. 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.

Posted byGailon21st Oct 2022When my cat first had this cat food she lost quite a bit of weight but unfortunately it is no longer working. She loves the food and her fur is looking good.

Posted bySandraon13th Jun 2022My very fussy cat will only eat these biscuits. She doesn’t chew her food so the small biscuit size makes it easy for her to swallow. Glad to have a regular delivery in place so I don’t run out. This service is outstanding for its fast delivery
