Seven vacuums
By Pambo on Jan 21, 2019
I was pouring the food into my katties' food container when 3 pigs came running in. While the food was still falling they tried to grab some of the kibble on the bottom. I was afraid they would fall in so I grabbed a handful and put it on the floor. While they snarfed I quickly poured in the rest of the food. Holy moly! It's a HUGE hit!

Hairball control-not good for my adult cats
By BBBB on Jan 22, 2019
I normally purchase Hill's Science Diet indoor cat recipe. My cats seem to like it. I thought I'd try the hairball control recipe. They like the flavor, but I've found it doesn't help, they actually throw up more. I will be going back to the indoor recipe.

Hills - Not Great, Chewy - GREAT
By Squeaks on Nov 7, 2018
I have to write this review to warn other senior cat owners that this food is (probably) not great for other senior cats. Our senior is still spry and her teeth aren't perfect but she still has all of them and hasn't had any specific issues with them. This kibble was HUGE and SO hard. And by hard, I mean I tried to break it up with a kitchen meat mallet for her to make the kibble smaller and more manageable and the mallet broke through two Ziploc bags (with the flat side) and barely made a dent in the food. Seriously. Luckily Chewy came through on the customer service and I will definitely be continuing to order my pet food through them, as I can depend on them to ensure my pets will always I have to write this review to warn other senior cat owners that this food is (probably) not great for other senior cats.

LIFEsaver for cats with hasirballs!
By Teal on Sep 21, 2018
My cat is almost 10 and started experiencing awful hairballs around 6/7 years of age. He has an extremely thick medium coat and sheds like theres no tomorrow, so he started getting really bad hairballs when he got older. I tried lots of food, treats, veggies, you name it... but this is the only thing that helped him. He was getting hairballs so big that he was choking sometimes and would get extremely constipated. His vet recommended this particular science diet and he has maybe had 3 hair balls since we started him on it approx. 3+ years ago, before he was having that many weekly. This product probably saved my cat from choking to death on his own hairball and I am extremely grateful for it! My cat is almost 10 and started experiencing awful hairballs around 6/7 years of age.

Good food, cats eat it!
By TwoBlueCats on Dec 7, 2018
My cats rarely have hairball problems, but I like to rotate their food so I tried this. They ate it just fine, but I can't vouch for it's effectiveness for hairball control.
