Hill's Science Diet Adult Oral Care Dry Cat Food

It's really to early to tell if this will help remove tartar, I just want to give my review of my first impression and what my cats reaction to this oral care food was, when I first opened the bag yes these kibbles are large looks like dog kibbles just like what other reviews have said but I expected that, these kibbles are large hard and crunchy, I have 9 cats all different ages and some that had teeth removed, I honestly was afraid that my older cat that had 8 teeth removed would choke on this food if he didn't chew it he swallowed it whole which would defeat the purpose and it did scare me, but he caught on and he learned to chew on it, all my cats do like this food when I opened the bag they It's really to early to tell if this will help remove tartar, I just want to give my review of my first impression and what my cats reaction to this oral care food was, when I first opened the bag yes these kibbles are large looks like dog kibbles just like what other reviews have said but I expected that, these kibbles are large hard and crunchy, I have 9 cats all different ages and some that had teeth removed, I honestly was afraid that my older cat that had 8 teeth removed would choke on this food if he didn't chew it he swallowed it whole which would defeat the purpose and it did scare me, but he caught on and he learned to chew on it, all my cats do like this food when I opened the bag they were excited to eat it so that's my review of this product I will buy it again even if I don't use it as a main dry food I will offer it everyday to them as treats. … more

I’ve got a dry food addict that primarily eats wet food now, fortunately. But he gets a small meal of dry food a day along with a couple dry food treats. We tried substituting his current dry food and treats with just the Oral Care food and he outright refused to eat it. I understand the guidance of transitioning to a new food. But he has never refused to eat any dry food period. I left it out for him to see and he attempted to eat but either they are too big of pieces and he doesn’t like it or he doesn’t like the taste. He crunched on a couple pieces then walked away. I gave it 2 stars because we couldn’t use it but I’m certain the Oral Care does it’s job.

So I read the reviews and I was a little concerned. If there’s anything I’ve learned though no two cats are alike. What one cat may not like or is afraid of change another cat might be just fine. My cat who just turned three years old this year has had some tartar buildup on his big front sharp teeth. I’ve been brushing his teeth as good as I can. I found out about this food and how they make some for cats. It’s first pull for my attention was obviously it was for oral care. Second (and honestly my first choice for choosing any food) it had natural ingredients (it could use a little modification like getting rid of wheat and grains) Something else I greatly appreciate and I can’t stress this So I read the reviews and I was a little concerned.

Hello?!? Where has THIS been all my life?! My only concern is how this may impact the environment so if they can reduce the impact and continue this path they are way ahead of the game. I absolutely hate those “resealing” bags that never actually close like you want! I mean honestly whoever came up with this Velcro thing hats off to them! He’s been on the food for a little while now I didn’t hold too much expectations but I’m actually pleasantly surprised I believe I have noticed a change in his teeth! At first I thought it was wishful thinking but I genuinely see it now! It’s actually working and I look forward to any future changes as this becomes a regular diet. … more

My Mom got these for me to help slow down my eating. It has helped. BUT she only gives me a handful at a time, because I love them so much, I'd eat all of them at one time. They are not really crunchy, but they are larger bits. It takes me a chomp or 2 to get through it. So, it both helps me slow down eating AND it's helping to clean my teeth. Not sure if it's a coincidence, but I've been drinking a bit more and it's making me more "regular" going to the potty. I'm glad she reordered a larger bag! PS: My Mom helped me to write this review.

Every bagged dry food we get from Chewy smells stale and the cats refuse to eat it. I have ordered ProPlan dried catfood x3 and they refuse to eat it. I replace it with a bag from our local PetSmart and it always smells good to me and they eat it. Probably fresher vs. sitting in a large warehouse getting stale. Believe me, I'd like it to work for me since it is more convenient to order it from you. We have yet to open the this new bag of Oral Care so I am bracing myself. I do use Chewy regularly to order other non-food items and so far, so good.

I made the mistake of not reading through all the reviews before buying this variety of Hills since I like the oral benefits. Unfortunately, The kibble are actually bigger than the Hills I feed my dog. My cats are P.O.ed. I figured it was drama but a day later and they've both just starved themselves rather than attempt to eat this. I ALSO made the mistake of emptying the bag into their food bin prior to knowing they wouldn't eat it so im not sure I can even donate it now... Have to go to pickup something to tie them over while I sort this mistake out. Bummed.

My cat has really bad teeth. We've been feeding him this for about 2 years now and it's made a huge difference. His teeth are looking so much better now and we haven't had to get his teeth cleaned yet because of this food. Even our other two cats who don't have any dental problems eat it, and we never knew their teeth could look so good. Highly recommend!!

The vet recommended this for oral care for our elderly short-haired orange tiger cat. He's had many dental problems and several extractions. His main diet is canned food. Adding this dry cat food in for treats has kept his teeth, gums, and breath healthier. In the evening he sits by the jar of Oral Care and waits for me to finish the paper and give him 6-8. They're his favorite treat.

I started with mixing it with my cats regular food. He would pick through and not eat it at first, but slowly grew to like it and now prefers it! Now he eats these first before eating his other food. Thinking of transitioning him 100% to this food!

My cats normally eat the Hills Veterinary t/d for clean teeth. Thought I'd try this because it's the same company and is less expensive. I started mixing it with their regular food, and one wouldn't even try to find the regular food in the mix. The other picked out the regular food and probably got a few pieces of the new food. Left food in the dish, which is really rare! Will donate the rest of the bag.
