Questions & Answers

21 Customer Questions

What is the difference between Science Diet Light Chicken dry food and the Science Diet Weight Reduction dry food?
What are the main differences between Perfect Weight and Light? Are there specific reasons for choosing one over the other? Why are there two different formulas?
Answer by Chewy • Jun 07, 2018
The Light formula has less protein and fat content than the Perfect Weight formula.
Regarding Science Diet Light dry food for cats (NOT the hairball formula one)- I have 10 cats ages 2-15. They free feed dry food. This food is labeled ages 1-6. Will it hurt my post age 6 cats if they eat it. Will it not provide the proper nourishment for older cats?
Answer by Chewy • Nov 05, 2017
We would recommend finding an All Life Stages diet for your cats, as your senior pets would not be receiving the proper nourishment they need.
I have 2 cats, one 15 and a good weight and the other 11 and overweight. I have been feeding Perfect Weight and thinking of switching to Diet Light. What is the caloric difference?
Answer by Chewy • Feb 23, 2018
Hill's Science Diet Adult Light Dry Cat Food has 297 Calories per cup and the Hill's Science Diet Adult Perfect Weight Dry Cat Food has 300 Calories per cup.

Buy small bag first!

I decided that this looked like their current Hill’s food, same size and shape. My chunky babies could use a light food. I made the mistake of assuming I could switch them slowly. I purchased the large bag. Bad decision. They’re currently in day 10 of protesting. They pick out their Adult 1-6 year food and refuse to touch this. I am almost out of the regular food and still have essentially an entire bag of the Light. I guess I’ll order more of their ‘normal’ food and chalk it up to lesson learned. I definitely don’t recommend assuming your little divas will eat it and buying the largest bag. Start small! I’m sure there are some cats that will love it and devour it. I have 8 cats and not one enjoys it.

Good food for Callie

My vet recommended Hill Science light cat food, for my fat, fluffy calico friend..she likes it...hopefully a few pounds will come off. The shipment was very fast. I had a question for customer service, which was answered promptly.

Cats won’t eat

This was my first attempt at a weight management food, but my two non picky cats won’t eat it. Read lots of great reviews about it, but didn’t work out for us.

My cats love this!

I have 6 cats and they all love this formula. Some are a little pudgy and need to cut down on their calories. No problem, just put this out and they will scoop it up. Have had other foods that didn't appeal to them, so if you want to use a "lighter" kibble, this is the one.

Excellent cat food

All three of my cats love this dry food, from age 4 months to 14 years old. I would recommend it for fussy cats.

They love it!

Kitties like it, round, flat pieces that they seem to eat just fine (one of my kitties had teeth troubles, but she can manage this ok). Their coats are already so much softer. Very good product.

Good product!

I've used this food for years! It is about the only food that keeps one of my cats from throwing up each time she eats. Hill's is a good brand with good products!

There’s Always a Solution!

I have 4 rescues and my son’s college cat! All five of them love Hills Science Diet Dry Cat food. Since I started feeding it to them, they have all improved in one way or another. Their coats are definitely shinier and softer. Each has improved in his weight! I’m no longer cleaning up undigested food or hair balls! However, this Adult Light Chicken is the first product two of my kitties have had a problem with. It just isn’t agreeing with them. However the Perfect Weight chicken has been a better solution!

our boys just didn’t touch it.

We have been feeding them Hill Science Perfect Weight and our babies love it! We switched to the Light one and they would not touch it at all. The kibble color is so pale/yellow. Sadly, we need to give it away to our friend’s cat.

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

While my order was shipped very quickly, I have to tell the truth and say that my fat cats did not like their new diet food at all! So I have mixed it with other Hill's Science Diet dry food. They love the Hairball Control! They also have sensitive skin and stomach, And since they are males, urinary control was advised. So there you go!
