Hill's Science Diet Adult Indoor Chicken Recipe Dry Cat Food

I adopted a brother/sister pair of two year old cats. I asked their previous owner what food they ate and she told me the Hill's Science Diet so I bought some. I also had several different flavors of Friskies dry food on hand so I put one bowl of Science Diet and another bowl of Friskies. By morning, all of the Friskies is gone and only a small amount of Science Diet has been eaten. My cat population votes 2-0 for Friskies.

I received this as a sample. My cats seem to like it, but prefer their old food. I never tried this brand or did anything regarding eliminating soy etc. I'm sure it is healthier, but my cats are picky and like their usual.

Even though I may be uninformed in not favoring the addition of corn gluten meal and wheat gluten chicken meal, and chicken liver FLAVOR, I still have to doff my hat in recognition of the reputation of this formidable kibble. Just cats, indoor and outdoor, are in danger of loving it to the exclusion of other excellent dry foods, of which there are many. Quite to the contrary is the never-ending problem of finding a plentiful number in the vast array of wet foods that are wholly satisfactory.

I was looking for food that was satisfying to my overweight male feline. He's 8 yrs old and close to 8 lbs overweight. This seems to satisfy him. He really loves the flavor and I think because each piece is quite big he has to chew longer and is much more satisfied. Plus I give him way less.

Every vet we have seen recommends Science Diet for our cats. All of them love their food - even with some of them being pretty picky eaters. Seem to digest well without any gastrointestinal issues.

So when I switched my cat from the kitten formula to the adult formula the size comparison was astronomical. He had a horrible time learning to chew up the huge pieces. He would sometimes give up and swallow them whole. Which of course would make him sick. I just opened the second bag of the adult formula and the size has thankfully been cut almost in half! I really wish this had been his first transition. We will see if this is, in fact, easier for him to chew up. You can see one piece of the kitten food, one piece from the first bag of adult that he had to transition to and then one piece from this new bag which is the Goldilocks piece.

I made the switch from blue buffalo to this after my vet recommended it. To get him used to it we combined it with the old food and he ate around all the blue buffalo to eat Hill’s. The first bag I ordered came opened and I sent a photo to Chewy’s support email. A few days later a new bag was delivered at no cost to me - would highly recommend!

I have lots of cats, as I rescue them, and keep more than I should! So, I have a wide variety of cats from which to formulate this review. 1) The "kibbles" are huge! I watched my babies TRY to eat this food (as they were so excited when they realized they had something new), and each one almost appeared to be in pain when trying to chew these into something they could swallow! They eventually ALL gave up on it. I left it down in their bowls for 24 hours. They didn't eat. Anything. When I realized they were going to starve themselves, I removed the food and put back their normal Purina One. They ate and ate and ate. 2) The food stinks! It's a plastic smell, to me anyway.

Very, very strong chemical-like smell to humans (me and my hubby). So, if it is that strong to humans.....I can only imagine what it is to them. Will NEVER even think about using this food, probably this brand, again. … more

I trust Hill's products and recently started giving my cats this once a day in addition to their Royal Canin meal in the AM, wet food midday and I offer this indoor chicken recipe dry cat food in the evening. I'm pleased to say they all like it.

The kibble in this cat food bag are actually larger then the kibble size posted on the bags front. Unless you have a baby cougar these kibbles are not a good size. I took a picture of the Kibble size vs picture on the bag cover. And another one of our current cat food kibble.
