What makes this for ages 7 and under only? I'd like a light/hairball kibble but our cats are in the double digits- still very active though.

Answer by ChewyJul 04, 2019
This formula is designed as a complete and balanced diet for adult cats 1 to 6 years of age who are prone to hairballs. The Hill's Science Diet Adult 7+ Hairball Control Chicken Recipe Dry Cat Food is a great alternative for cats over 7 years of age.

What is the sodium percentage?

Answer by ChewyJan 16, 2020
This variety contains 0.39% Sodium content on an as fed basis (0.44% on a dry matter basis).

How big is the kibble or how does the size of the kibble compare to the Adult Indoor or Dental? Thank you.

Answer by ChewyNov 18, 2018
The kibble is similar to the size of a pea. This kibble is a lot smaller compared to the Dental, however the same size compared to the Indoor adult.

Be advised! I have used this cat food since getting my first cat 8 years ago with no issues. Now with 3 cats they were all happy and good until I recently got a bag and noticed that the kibble was smaller and different shaped. Ever since the change my cats have been getting sick. It almost seems like they can't digest it. They are consistently throwing up whole chunks of kibble. Chewy as always made things right but now I need to make a switch.

I received my usual order of Hills Science Diet (the only food my cat has ever eaten) and the kibble was different than it used to be. It was flatter and a bit smaller, I think. I called customer service and they said that yes, they had changed out about 7 ingredients and yes, the kibble was different. There was nothing on the package that said anything about new ingredients or new formulation. The person I spoke with said that the 'nutritional specs' were the same, although I haven't seen a direct comparison of the assays. I can tell you that my cat is eating a larger portion of the food daily than what I used to give her, which makes me think that nutritionally, it isn't the same. I'm not a happy camper at all.

I’ve been buying this specific formula for almost 2 years, and no problems. This months shipment the shape and overall look of the cat food looked different. Almost immediately both my cats experienced vomiting after eating the food. I switched formulas and the vomiting stopped.

Please please please go back to the old formula! For years my cats have eaten HAIRBALL LIGHT and it was the only brand and kind my cat could stomach. I don’t know what to do!! DO NOT BUY. Look on REDDIT AND YOU WILL SEE MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I’d give this 0 stars if I could

Made my cat sick

We're not sure which ingredient is hurting her tummy but she kept throwing up after eating this. New food, no issues.

The products are all great. I have requested that my orders be left at the garage door, but they are almost always left at my front door. I have spoken to an operator about this before. I don't have the FedEx account, so I can't talk to them. It is written right on the label where I want it delivered. I'm 80 and it's difficult for me to drag the products to the garage.
