"Hills Science Diet- Kitten"
Posted byDebbie Joneson19th Oct 2022Think I like it more than she does but it is a work in progress one of which I will win , older cat thinks it is devine
"Reasonable"
Posted byLois Ryuon12th Mar 2022My cat ate it ok. Wasn't super fancy on it. But no problems while on it.
"Great product and love the seal"
Posted byCupy Deeon23rd Nov 2021We have always gone with Science diet for all our cats. This is the first time we get the kitten one and it seems to do the job very well. Our little one loves it and we can really see the difference once we started him on this(we got him as a rescued). Shiny coat, happy playful mood, no bad breath. And the new seal is so good, so much better than the told zip lock or click lock system. Highly recommended.
"LOVE"
Posted byCheyne MAcekon5th May 2021My 3 kittens all love these biscuits, and I love the velcro seal - better than any other seal, keeps the food super fresh!
"Kittens enjoy"
Posted byLynda Weston4th May 2020Kittens seem to like this all good,
