Tried and True
By appykawgal on Sep 10, 2019
I was a vet tech in 1980-1990's. Through further education I became a pet nutritionist. The vet I worked for highly recommended Hills Science Diet to his clients as well as to his employees, friends and family. After becoming a pet nutritionist and as a vet tech I understood why. I have fed Hills Science Diet Canine and Feline foods for thirty years. Over those years I have been fortunate to have enjoyed the company of numerous healthy and happy dog and cat companions. My only complaint is that Hills Science Diet does not have an equine line of food!

TRUSTED NAME
By steff on Oct 22, 2019
I HAVE USED VARIOUS HILL'S SCIENCE DIET OVER THE YEARS AND HAVE NEVER BEEN DISAPPOINTED IN THEIR PRODUCT. IT'S A NAME I HAVE LEARNED TO TRUST THROUGH MANY YEARS AND ANIMALS. THIS TRULY HELPS MY CATS IN THE SUMMER WITH THE FUR BALLS.

Not quite sure
By JoyT on Aug 19, 2019
My 2 cats are less than enthusiastic about this new food. I wanted a high quality senior food and decided to try Hills. We have used other Hills products in the past for other pets with great success. They seem very slow to eat this food. Will continue with it until it is gone, then may try something else.

The Meister Likes It!!
By Gigi on Jul 28, 2019
My cat was throwing up hairballs on a daily basis and after taking him to the vet and getting back normal results for all blood tests, I decided to change his food. I was worried he might not like the change, however he loves this food and no more hairballs. Thanks, Science Diet.

Hairball food

I got this for my cat so hopefully they went throw up as much with hairballs.

Fewer hairballs!
By CatMom on Jul 27, 2019
My 2 cats were having frequent hairballs, even with increased brushing and the introduction of a hairball goop. Mixing this in with their prescription food immediately decreased the number of hairballs and they seem to like it!

My cats wouldn't touch this with a ten foot pole
By Cortney on Jul 29, 2019
This seems like a good food and my primary reason for getting it was to deal with constipation. My cats weren't interested in it at all even when it was the only food I allowed them to eat.
