Hill's Science Diet Adult Urinary Hairball Control Dry Cat Food

My 5 year old cat got 2 new sisters not too long ago and she didn't adapt well. I started to notice some odd colored urine on the pads of their litter boxes (brownish); I use the pellet litter with the pads (by fresh pet I think) so I self diagnosed and I read that stress can cause UTIs. I read good things about this cat food so I figured I'd give it a try before taking her to the vet. Within a few days no more odd colored urine spots! I now feed this regularly to my girls!

My oldest cat had a bladder blockage at the age of 1. At that time, I started feeding him Prescription C/D. When I got another cat, I was feeding them both the same food. However, when I got 2 more cats, it became too expensive to feed all 4 of them the Prescription Diet so I began mixing it with the Adult Urinary Hairball Control. So far, the oldest has never had another urinary problem and neither have any of the others (One is 10 years old and the other 2 are 3 years old). I have only 2 complaints about the Urinary Hairball Control - the pieces are too big, my cats have a difficult time eating them and I'm not sure the hairball control really works all that well, 2 of my cats still throw up My oldest cat had a bladder blockage at the age of 1.

I always take a look at 1 star reviews on products, even if it's something I like to use because I want to know the kind of experience other people are having with it. What seems to be a common theme is the complaint about the kibble size, I was actually impressed when I saw the kibble. Because it is a bit larger it is also softer and holding more moisture content. Even though they may eat one kibble at a time, the pieces are not too large for any of my 4 cats to manage. They range in age from 13 to 4 years old. Since we put them on this food for the morning feeding and a wet dinner (Sheba Perfect Portion), as well as 4 different drinking sources...none of the cats has had to return to the vet I always take a look at 1 star reviews on products, even if it's something I like to use because I want to know the kind of experience other people are having with it.

Hills was just ONE part of changes to get the kitties healthy and as part of the plan, it's working. Also, they tried to tear the bag open when I brought it into the house the first time. Like all 4 of them acted like they hadn't had a meal in months, it was hilarious. I haven't found a problem with this food yet, none of them vomit it up (unlike the garbage cheap foods out there) and the only drawback is that it is expensive. But it's comparable to any of the "good" brands so that's just the price of taking care of my pets. Best Wishes for a happy and healthy pet. … more

Thank you Chewy.com. Buddy my cat is a rescued cat from out in the country from where I worked, and the weather was turning cold. She has always eaten Science Diet D/D prescription food suggested by the vet. I believe in feeding top quality food to my cat. Less vet bills. Needless to say for the past few weeks or more, Buddy was not keeping her food down. Yep you guessed it, “Hairball” and a mess on the carpet most every day, food and all!

I got this to try over the expensive prescription brand it is big chunks like people have described but the cats don't seem to mind that at all they actually pick through the two types and eat this over the prescription... So far so good we'll see how my boys do hopefully they won't get any more kidney problems

I have 5 indoor cats that are all around 2-3 years old and the food is still too big even for them. I cannot imagine how an older cat could even attempt to eat this. I've gotten 3 bags or so over the last 6 months and I will no longer be purchasing this item. Additionally, I saw no change in the frequency of hairballs, which only one of my cats suffers from.

I purchased this food based off recommendation from our new vet for my one kitty. She was a little low in weight and needed to gain some pounds fast and so she suggested this specific brand and a high protein version. I've always kind of stayed away from Science Diet as it's a little pricier and I kind of just thought it was all advertising and couldn't possibly be a better or healthier dry food. I don't know if it's the food that's made the change in her behavior and energy but I gotta say it's the only change we've made. She gained weight quickly and began playing and running about like I've never seen her do before! She's 7 and we've had her practically since the beginning and she's never I purchased this food based off recommendation from our new vet for my one kitty.

I'm very glad I tried the food and am now giving it to all my kitties along with some wet food too. I'm hoping they all start displaying this high energy behavior. … more

Since I rescued my cat she has been on Science Diet and I can honestly say not once has she been sick and upchucked any hair balls. Vet says she is n good health and maintain her on the food given. I strongly advise against grocery store cheep cat food!

Jack absoltely loves his new cat food! Since I switched him to this I haven't had anymore issues with hairballs. I also love the peace of mind of preventing him from having a UTI.
