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

He's had urinary track infections on and off ever since he was a youngster. He's been on Hills science diet before but with a prescription, and a friend of mine said to try this and it worked. He's going on 11 along with his sister who's never had a problem. Knock on Wood!!!

My Raku Kitty has hairball issues and my Zigi Monster urinary issues. It's impossible to keep the Zigi Monster away from Raku Kitty's food, because Raku eats a little of her food and leaves the rest for later, while Zigi gobbles up his food all at once, then eats hers. Since this Hill's Science Diet is for both Hairball and Urinary issues, it's the perfect solution for me.

Our boys are picky. We give them canned & dry food. Just couldn’t find a dry food that made them happy. Our one boy is a chewer so needed something to “keep him going” so he won’t become obstructed. the moment we opened this & gave it to them, they were ravenous & ate for a good 10 minutes. Not needy & begging like they usually do.

I have one cat who REQUIRES urinary prescription food, but doesn't have hairballs, and one cat who doesn't need presctiption food, but has hairballs. The cat who needs prescription food keeps trying to eat this and pushes the other cat aside! My only complaint is maybe better bagging to hide the smell because no matter where I hide the bag of food my cats find it and try to claw into it. But that would be a Hills Science Diet issue, not a Chewy issue....

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

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!

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.

Was feeding Solid Gold brand which Dusty liked, as long as I put a couple treats on top. This one, however, he devours and no need for treats as an enticement.

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
