Hill's Science Diet Adult Perfect Weight Chicken Recipe Dry Cat Food

My cat has been eating Perfect Weight for over one year. I was glad I purchased it. He had enjoyed it. Since January 2021 something has changed; the kibble size. It was always, a consistent, "Flat disk-like" larger kibble since I have been purchasing it.... He liked to chew the larger flatter kibble, instead of the small thick kibble that cats seem to just swallow. Since January, each bag I purchased has had a different size of small, "thicker", hard kibble, similar/same as some other varieties of their dry food. Very noticeable difference. At first, I thought the manufacturing run quality control may be the cause. Very disappointing. It seems the larger, flat disk-like kibble is My cat has been eating Perfect Weight for over one year.

At first, I thought the manufacturing run quality control may be the cause. Very disappointing. It seems the larger, flat disk-like kibble is gone! This is a good product, but continued inconsistency of kibble size is a concern. I contacted Science Diet directly in January by phone and email with photos. They tell me nothing has changed! I have not experienced ongoing inconsistency in kibble size from other premium cat food. After buying multiple bags from the same mfg. run and different runs...inconsistency still is ongoing. It appears to me, there has become too many food options in this product line; kibble sizes etc. being marketed to manage; Is Manufacturing Quality control an issue, ie extruders ..impacting this product line with wrong sizes of kibble; approved acceptable within their quality guidelines? My cat no longer wants to eat the kibble. Perfect Weight has changed. A suggestion, when redesigning dry food bags, have a small clear plastic window in a corner so customers can see the size of kibble they are buying. Most people want quality, consistency...Continual change in cat food is a concern for most owners. We want the best for our cats. Perhaps that means, "fewer" variety products, less change, more QUALITY.....not continual new product/packaging marketing changes that come and go. … more

I have two senior kitties that need to lose weight. One is twice the others size so finding a way to balance their feeding fairly can be tricky. I usually feed them a quarter can of wet food for breakfast, and again for lunch, then they have their kibble for all day feeding. The first bag of this kibble was great, my tiny cat lost the weight she needed and is at her perfect, healthy size. Our other cat still has a ways to go but he is definitely losing weight. I reordered the food and what I got looks more like dog food. The kibble is huge, and they no longer clear the plate of kibble like they used to (though they both still eat it). However, I am going to switch them to the back-up senior I have two senior kitties that need to lose weight.

This kibble is far too large for him. I have no idea why they think making the kibble so big for cat food would be a good idea. … more

I recently switched my cats to this food because they are aging 8 yrs, are inside cats, and basically are the laziest cats I have ever owned. Thus, they are putting on the pounds- They seem to like the food so far ( 2 weeks) my concern is the size of the kibbles compared to the other Hills Science diet I was feeding them. It looks more like the size my son feeds his small dog. I worry about their ability to chew the much thicker kibble at 8 and as they grow older. Why do they make it so thick it looks like my female cat struggles a bit to chew it-- this is why I gave it a 3 rather than a 5 -- If you read this Hill's Science Diet please review the kibble size of this food--

Okay my senior kitty gained some weight so switched him to Perfect Weight, recommended from others. He has been doing great and was loosing weight. He stopped loosing weight and trying to lower amount of food was leaving him starving. I switched to another brand but he didn’t do well on it. Switched him back and he really isn’t a fan. He is loosing weight but he isn’t eating much at all. I am going to have to find a food that keeps his weight down and he does good with. I have half a bag left that I will end up donating. I am not sure what changed but the food also has a different smell than it use to. I know the dry food can have different colors due to natural flavors but the smell is off.

During our last vet visit, our vet encouraged us to put our cat on a diet. Our cat transitioned from being an indoor/outdoor cat to indoor only and put on a few pounds. She’s been eating this food for about six weeks and is down .5lbs. I was worried she wouldn’t like it, but that hasn’t been an issue at all. She always cleans her bowl! So far, we’re very impressed! I would definitely recommend. The kibbles are a little bit larger than her old food, but she doesn’t seem to mind.

My cats have been eating Perfect Weight for about 9 months, about 1 bag per month. During that time, there have been 3 bags that they've rejected. Most recently, the kibble in a new bag was noticeably smaller than the previous bag. I have no idea whether there were any changes in flavor or odor, but both cats flatly rejected it and one cat has gone off food entirely. I opened another fresh bag, which has the usual size kibble, but that is also being rejected. All in all, this food was good when it was good, but it's been a gamble whether any particular bag will be acceptable.

One of our four year old cats is sleek and fit the other is larger and leans toward the more "full bodied" silhouette. Thought I would try this in hopes it would help put the brakes on his weight gain. Although apprehensive of his willingness to try a new dry food - they have eaten Hill's Science Diet Indoor Cat for the past few years - he eats like it's cat treats! Only time will tell if it helps curb weight gain but as a dry food from a brand I trust it is a real hit!

Orders always accurate, shipped quickly and on time. Love the discount for autoship and that you text me BEFORE items ship. That way I can make adjustments if I need to. Oliver and Domino love you too.

At first it was fine. now this makes one of my cats vomits if he eats it. the other two just act like they are ALWAYS starving. we are slowly switching back to the non diet food. Hopefully it solves the problem!

I have been searching and trying different brands for weight management. I mixed with other brand to switch to another one, but my cats only ate this brand. I will not change to another brand anymore. I'll keep having this for them.
