|---|
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 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: 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. |

"Excellent effective product"
Posted bygayon18th Oct 2024I 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!
