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 Urinary Hairball Control Dry Cat Food - EST. Transitioning from May 2026
This product is undergoing a packaging, kibble change and minor formulation update.  During this transition time, you might receive either the original or the new version in your order.

What's Changed:  Real chicken remains the #1 ingredient! The triangular kibble is also thinner and flatter, making it easier to chew. The updated recipe replaces pork fat with chicken fat and flaxseed, adds highly digestible egg product and chicken meal, and streamlines fibre sources to support smooth everyday digestion.

Feeding Transition Recommendation:
While changes are minor, some cats may be more sensitive to subtle formulation changes or texture differences.  A gradual 7-10 day transition helps selective eaters adjust and helps prevent potential digestive upsets. Read our guide on how to transition your pet to a new food smoothly here

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 no kibble/biscuit image, 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.

    I really trust Hills Science,and the cats love it too! My youngest 2yr old DSH cat Frankie has had urinary problems-so i supplement a cheaper product with Hills Science Diet, and give a few a day to my bigger boy Winston-as they are bigger than his kibble he really has to chew it-so hopefully cleans his teeth too!
