|---|
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 Sensitive Stomach & Skin Dry Cat Food What's Changed: Real chicken is still the #1 ingredient! The recipe has received a minor refresh, replacing whole grain corn with gentle cracked pearled barley, while adding pea protein and oat fiber for balanced energy and healthy digestion. Feeding Transition Recommendation: Spot the New Look: The new packaging features subtle changes. The new version has a shield near the logo “Supports a Healthy Immune System” 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. |

"Happy tummy!"
Posted byClaireon27th Aug 2026I’d tried different things to help my cat’s funny tummy issues and then I wondered if it might be her biscuits. I then switched to this one and the change was almost immediate. Thrilled and what’s also great is that this fussy wee girl will actually eat it! Win!
"Saves a lot of clean ups"
Posted byMichaelon24th Aug 2023Our cat used to throw up quite regularly turns out he is sensitive to alot of food, since being on this it has cut his throwing up back significantly. Well it hasn't stopped it all together we've gone from spew a couple times a week to a couple times a month.
