Hill’s Science Diet Adult Urinary & Hairball Canned Cat Food

★★★★☆ The problem with fluffy cats is that they ingest lots of fur when they groom themselves. To help control the hairballs, I use Hairball control food plus a supplement to break up of prevent hairballs.This food is liked by my cats so I have to assume that the flavour is good. It’s a pate formulation so easy to portion out the right amount for each cat.

★★★★★ This cat food is expensive to buy all at once... what if they don’t like it, then what?However this worked out perfectly one cat eats this food plus hairball nutrients added. Another cats eats other food so there isn’t any stealing from each other he gets a Hairball treats.Leo must smell Mickeys food though because at first he turns new food Science diet down. Then with a little coaxing he laps it up .One more thing he doesn’t eat as much wet food now either.

★★★★★ While my cat doesn't have urinary problems, he's an 8 yr old male, so I supplement his dry food with this. He also has problems with constipation and this has helped a lot! This is really rich so I'll mix 1/3 of a can with a little water which also gets some extra fluids into him.

★★★★★ My cat has always had an issue with hairballs, but this last time around, he was throwing up at least twice a day and within a week, had visually lost weight. I took a leap of faith and ordered the unrinary and hairball soft food for him. He stopped throwing up, he finally got that nasty hairball up, and as picky as he is, he LOVES the food (he never cleaned his dish until I gave him this food). Both my boys love it and after 2 weeks, there's such a difference in them.I have to admit, I had very low expectations for this food, but the ingredients are amazing and I was desperate. It went well beyond what I expected and the rating is a very easy five stars.The only downfall is the price. My cats aren't big on leftover food, so I have to buy the small cans and it ends up costing quite a bit more. I may actually have to budget for it, but if it helps my boys, it's totally worth it.

★☆☆☆☆ I've been ordering this food for my cat for over a year. Anyone on here who has bought this food knows it has a very distinct smell the second you open the can. I noticed when I ordered a new box from Amazon that the food smelt different but I didn't think much of it. After the first can my cat started to get really sick, she was puking and shaking (like a scared dog). I didn't connect the dots until opening her second can. The texture and colour of the food was different. I took an old can I had in my recycling, the labels weren't the exact same. Some colours were off, the new cans I bought were obviously printed with a cheaper ink.I received fake cat food from Amazon and it could have seriously hurt my cat if I didn't pay attention. I stopped feeding her this food and both her puking and shakes have stopped. Buy this food from a pet store. It'll cost the same and only take an extra day or two to arrive. It's not worth the risk of harming your pet.

★★★★★ I have a kitty with feline urinary syndrome that keeps forming calcium oxalate stones. I have tried him on several prescription urinary diets but he will not eat them. Finally, I found this, which he really likes. I also have two other healthy kitties that like this food. It is a little more expensive but so far my kitty has not developed any more urinary stones (he has been on this diet for six months) and he gobbles down this food. I highly recommend this food.

★★★★☆ I buy this because it works and the Amazon price is better than the store price. However, I do not like that there are cheap fillers like corn and wheat in a pet food that claims to be of high quality.J'achète ce produit parce qu'il est efficace pour prévenir les crystaux et aussi parce que le prix sur Amazon est meilleur que dans les magasins. Toutefois, je déplore le fait qu'une nourriture supposément de qualité contienne majoritairement des ingrédients de remplissage bon marché tels que le maïs et le blé.

★★★★★ (TLDR: Expensive? Yes. Worth it? YES.) One of my boys blocked. Apparently it’s super common in neutered males and NOBODY TOLD ME, so I’m telling you, and you should tell everyone including strangers. It’s terrifying. And expensive. When he got out of the hospital, the vet told me he would need to be on food formulated for urinary care for the rest of his life. I did a google deep dive, (there were spreadsheets involved. It was a tense week.) Firstly, yes, food formulated for urinary care is different than the stuff that isn’t. (Bitchnote: why isn’t all cat food formulated for urinary care if blockages are so common???) Secondaly, not all brands are created equal. In my personal opinion, Hills is the shit. It’s not the ONLY option; there are other vet recommended brands that have trials and data backing up their food, but Hills consistently gets the thumbs up from vets, pets, and pet owners. It doesn’t guarantee that your cat won’t block, or won’t block again. But my cats have been more energetic, their coats are softer, they shed less, they have virtually ZERO hair balls, they barely fart anymore, and they LOVE the taste (I tried a couple other brands before I settled on Hills and one would just sit and meow at me in a very shouty way when I tried to give her Purina. Bitch.) Look, it’s a lot more expensive than what I (and probably you) were feeding them, but I didn’t realize how difference it truly makes. For me, it’s worth $70/bag to not have to go through finding my guy twitching on the floor and racing him to the pet hospital at 10:00pm followed by a sleepless night and a week of tricking him into taking his meds, and cheering every time he peed. He hasn’t had a problem since and its been almost a year (knock on wood). (I still cheer when he pees.)

★★★★★ This stuff is gold for cats that get urinary stones regularly. My cat a couple years ago developed regular kidney stones due to age where he couldn’t have regular food or it would give him kidney stones. The vet had him on prescription food c/d which was great but really expensive. This works exactly the same minus the hefty tag. Definitely recommend trying a small bag at first and if they like it keep getting it.

★★★★★ My cat is a meticulous groomer and has had some horrible episodes with furballsI continue to feed my cat wet food but also include half a serving of Hill's Furball Formula daily and that has mitigated the issue 95%. Cloud, my cat, finds it palatable, so no specific manipulation or coaxing is required. I utilize the Amazon subscription service for the product since first it is a little cheaper and secondly, I don't intend to experiment since this cat food is a viable solution. I do recommend to anyone who has a cat with a similar issue.

★★★★★ I gave freshness a 4 because once you open bag and after a few days my cats aren't as thrilled as when the food is first opened and served. They are the judge. They never vomit hairballs Coats are beautiful I also give them oral care, perfect diet, and sensitive stomach.. all are popular with them. Expensive but they are worth it.

★★★★★ It’s what we feed our cats (alongside PC Live lettuce)I don’t know what it tastes like. It’s weird that that’s one of the options to rate this item 5stars.We like having it delivered rather than slugging it home from a chain pet-store…

★★☆☆☆ Great product, my cats like it BUT my complain is that some cans were dented and one of them was so damaged that food was leaking. This is the second time it happens!! AMAZON should inspect the integrity of the merchandise. I cancelled my subscription just because I prefer pay more at Petsmart but have exactly what I paid for!

★★★★★ Our cats love this food, however, with almost every 24 pack we have noticed there is one damaged can that we have to throw out. Just letting you know. We can send a picture of the damaged can if you wish.

★★★★★ This is our cat’s favourite flavour of Hill Science Diet wet cat food. All 3 of them gobble it up!

★☆☆☆☆ I bought this for my cat as he tried one from the local pet store and it had so much gravy and he lapped it up! Now I get these 24 from Amazon and they are super dry, where's the gravy??? I mean he still eats it but does NOT clean the bowl now. Guess I need to go back to the pet store as I won't be buying on Amazon again.

★★★☆☆ Normally this would be 6/5 but the last 3 cases I have purchase seem bad. The expectation dates are good but the food is dry and crumbly. No gravy at all. My cats won’t eat it and I’ve spent a lot of money. I’ve bought Hills for years, i’m not sure if it’s the science diet part or what is wrong with this but I wish I could send this back. No cat wants to eat dried crumbly “wet” food. Really not sure what happen to the formula 😣

★★★★★ Changed from a much cheaper brand to this. Cats love it, eating their bowls clean quickly. It’s very wet (maybe we got a different batch from others that have stated it was dry). Vet tells me it’s healthier than the previous cheaper brand, cats are keener to eat it so I guess it tastes better. Prime delivery makes life easier.

★★★★★ Nous avons 2 chats de 14 ans et 8 ans, dont l'un au poil très long. La première constatation avec Science Diet, c'est qu'on ne trouve plus des quantités de poils sur le plancher et les chats ont un beau pelage doux et lustré. Nos chats adorent cette nourriture et sont en bonne santé.

★★☆☆☆ My cats are finicky! It would seem that cats do have their likes and dislikes. My other cat that passed on many years ago, loved it.I don't think it is a bad product. It is not for my cats.However, I sent the cat food to a family member who has 2 cats and they love it.

★★★★★ I have a long haired cat & she loves this. She also rarely coughs up hair balls- and I know this food has helped with that.

★☆☆☆☆ The order came in really wet packaging which was covered in black mold. All the labels were soggy and moody. I peeled them and washed the outside of the cans, hoping to salvage them, but the first can unopened was very strange. The contents did not look normal and smelt strange. My cat wouldn’t eat it. I wonder if it was frozen at some stage, or past the expiry date, because there was no sauce, and the Hills website specifically says freezing will change consistency. I could not check the labels which were destroyed by the mold.The cans i buy from Petsmart look moist with a jelly/sauce that my cat loves. See the 1st photo. The 2nd photo shows the Amazon cans. I opened all 24 cans and they are all the same. When i phoned amazon to complain they were out of the cat food snd are now selling it for $150. So i have not been able to replace this and i’m now running out.

★★★★★ Very fast to receive the 24 can flat! Arrived in excellent condition. Amazon could find boxes that fit the flats a bit better or add packing materials so the flat doesn't float around so much! It's good that Hill's Science diet uses heavy plastic to keep the cans tight in the flats. That was my biggest concern when ordering from Amazon were all the complaints about damaged food cans. Again our cat loves this style and even flavor of food, we used to get the tuna dinner but it is either super rare or not being made anymore? Glad cat is fine with chicken now too! She is fussy and hates the pate style food, hahaha!

★★★★☆ This is good quality cat food, no problems there. But this is the first time a package has arrived so badly damaged. Two cans had to be thrown out because there's no way of knowing how long ago they were split open. I can't return it because I'd flattened the box before I realized the problem, and besides, the cat food was squished all over. There was bubble plastic to buffer the cans, but just not enough, I guess. It's a shame because this is expensive food!

★☆☆☆☆ First problem I've ever had with Hills, but this product makes both my cats sick. I've tried since I first bought it to introduce it in with their other Hill's helpings - doesn't matter how much or how little I put - they either won't touch the food or else they eat it and then vomit all over the house. I am going to ask Amazon to refund me for the last order that I couldn't stop in time - I've a full unopened 24 can flat here I can't use.

★★★★★ I bought this for my cat who the vet recommended needed to lose weight. I couldn’t find this in any pet stores so was happy to find it on Amazon. A great price and I get a discounted price for setting up monthly auto shop for this product. I can cancel the auto ship at any time.

★★★★★ My cat loves this stuff! I give her the kibble version too, but she complains if it doesn’t have this mixed in! Though it’s a bit pricey, I feel good knowing I’m feeding her proper food and is portioned enough to keep her weight healthy. I also have this delivered monthly almost always on time, except that one month where they ran out of supplies and I had to buy from a physical store. Aside from that, great food and great service!

★☆☆☆☆ I have three cats (1 kitten, 1 young adult and a senior). I also take care feral who is always outdoors. Not a single one of these cats ate this food. Not even the desperate starving feral cat would eat this, and he eats anything. So yeah I found this odd. They licked up the sauce and left all the square shaped peaces of "meat" in the plate for me to toss out.

★★☆☆☆ My cat love *d* these but i overlooked that the packaging is not recyclable. Would not buy again for that reason. *Edit: after eating the first few now she won’t eat it anymore, she licks up the sauce and leaves the food chunks. Fyi -She is not a fussy eater.

★☆☆☆☆ I have 3 cats of different age and not one of them like this product. I tried all flavors and they only like the liquid but do not touch the nipples. My cats are not fussy... HOWEVER they do like the dry cat food from this manufacturer.

★★★★★ Awesome purchase, item as described and super fast delivery. Love this product! My cat has always had a hairball issue, I've tried I don't know how many brands of food to help her. This one is amazing, it's working incredibly well and she loves it which is saying a lot because she's got to be the most picky eater on this planet lol. I find since it's not so full of fillers and added junk she's going to the bathroom must less as well and is not as smelly. Great product, extremely satisfied.

★★★★★ Rudy has been having issues with his digestion. The vet recommended a very expensive high fibre food. He wasn’t crazy about it but it helped. I hated the price and gradually weaned him over to IAMS hair ball formula as the fibre content was just as high and the price was about half.He’s been puking every single day. So I ordered a small bag of this Science Diet Hairball formula. Rudy absolutely loves it! It’s been a few hours and no puking! I initially wanted to wean him into it but the old food makes him puke so we’ll see what happens. I’m thrilled that he loves it, it’s high fibre, and it’s staying down!!! The price is great too!

★★★★☆ The cats eat so it must be ok. I haven’t tasted it yet

★★★★★ This is my best discovery of 2019. My older cat used to be so incredibly picky, won't even touch dry food, always yelled at me for wet food and didn't even finish just licked up the gravy.... 😑 I was frustrated and concerned about his teeth at the same time so it was always a struggle feeding him. Then we randomly bought this, specifically this flavor! Adult 1-6. He LOVES it. He won't even bother with wet food Now. He even prefers this over ham! What?! I can't possibly recommend this enough. Oh and the thumbnail photos says "lean muscle", no kidding, my cat gain some healthy weight for sure, and i can feel his muscle denser! Now he's walking around like a real alpha...lol 1000% recommend it!

★★★★★ The media could not be loaded.  I am not an expert on the cat food, but my cat surely knows that this food is great! He would only eat this product. I tried other brands as my cat is such a picky eater and he just loves Hill’s Science Diet. I noticed that he is very active and happy and his look overall is healthy.

★★★★★ My cat has been always with Hills science products since a kitten. He never had any problem with hairball, nor dental, no digestive problem or others. He has been really really healthy. Rather than getting cheap and unhealthy cat food bags from grocery store, this one is worth it, to spend extra few bucks more for your cat.

★★★★★ i have seven rescues and feed three ferals outside ..... this Hills Science is by far the best quality and really great value for dollars ..... please do not feed your feline friends crappy food because of money ..... in addition, when you place regular orders, Amazon offers you a good discount .....

★★★★★ Both my 7+ cat's are doing really well on this food! Both 7 years, I wanted to have a "pre" senior diet that they will both like. No tummy issues, both cats are very peppy and playful. It's been a positive transition to this food! Started a sub every 2 months as both cats like eating it - which has not been the case with past dry foods.

★★★★★ My 2 cats are enjoying this, no issues! Both of my cats are 7 years old, one has a very sensitive tummy, so I need to be cautious. The other cat is fussy and picky - also an issue; they both seem to enjoy the transition to this food. So far so good.

★★★★★ I really hope he can lose weight. And it’s so funny the cover looks actually like him.

★★★★☆ But why does Amazon ask us about flavor? My cat doesn't speak English and I don't eat the food. Are we supposed to taste it first? Maybe I'm doing it all wrong. My cat eats it. That's all I know. She hasn't complained.

★★★★★ My Maine Coon is a big boy, but he looks like a very fluffy teddybear. His vet wants his 20 lbs down to about 17 lbs, but so far nothing has worked. His policy seems to be "The higher the calorie count, the better the food tastes", and has refused to touch all other low-calorie products, wet or dry. The other day I was looking at a reduce-your-cat website and this was recommended as the best dry food for the purpose. I ordered a small bag, and it arrived yesterday. To my amazement, my chubby boy dived right in, and now refuses all the other brands he used to insist on. Too soon to tell if it will actually take any weight off him, but fingers crossed that I've found a winner!

★☆☆☆☆ I ordered this cat food thinking it was the same as Age Defying ...until I opened it and saw the size of the kibble. I fed it to my senior cats and they were all vomiting undigested food within a few days.....several times a day!! Once I realized it was the new food making them sick....I tried crushing it with a rolling pin and the pieces wouldn't break!! I then tried crushing them in a small food grinder and most of the pieces remained whole!!!! I knew then there was something definitely wrong with this cat food! This kind of large & hard kibble should NEVER be fed to senior cats. I returned the two bags of INDOOR Age Defying food and re-ordered Age Defying instead.

★★★★★ Before purchasing this type of senior’s dry cat food, l had obtained a bag from a neighborhood Healthy Pets store. What l really liked about the food was the size of each kibble. They were very small, round, smooth and easy to swallow. One of my cats has just one tooth and that is why l want the smaller pieces. The bags l have received so far from Amazon contain kibble that is not so small and round. This kibble is slightly larger and irregularly shaped. I’m wondering why this is. I prefer the smaller, rounded type. Are they not making this kind any more? Thank you!

★★★★☆ Hill's Science Diet cat food has good quality ingredients. I can't comment on the taste but don't think my cat's as keen on this one as the perfect weight variety. I have switched back but that's just my cat's preference. Sometimes I blend two different varieties together and that works well so no waste. I have to admit it's a bit pricey but the quality is there, and if you're cat has any digestive issues or lots of fur balls like mine then it's worth the money. Helps keep the vet bills down!!!!

★★★★★ After my vet could no longer provide a discount for subscription on the prescription dental diet t/d I decided to shop around. Imagine my surprise when I found this non-prescription Hill's dental food available on Amazon for a comparable price. Upon further digging I found on the Hill's website that this food appears to have better ingredients! (See screenshots from the website) So of course I ordered it. As you can see from the picture the food pieces are actually a bit bigger than the prescription version too! To top it off my normally picky cats went crazy for it! Can you blame them? Win win!

★★★★☆ I can not attest to the taste, the consistency or the digestability.My cat is a cranky jackhole, as most cats are. However, she jumps around in circles when I open the zip-lock top of the bag. She meows and seems to want me to scoop it into her bowl, and she eats everything I put in.Since I started to feed her this she knocks over my guests drinks less, she unrolls the toilet paper rolls less, and she has stopped biting my children when their legs hang over the edge of the bed. I can only assume it is because this food is excellent. Anectodal evidence, but evidence none the less.

★★★★★ Feb 2020 update: Okay, so we have been exclusively feeding Leo this food for 7 months and he’s doing well with the food. His hair is super smooth and has been noticeably less oily on his fur. His teeth still have plaque but his gums are less inflamed which is a win for us. I need to stop being so lazy and just brush his teeth to really ensure proper dental hygieneJuly 2019: My cat has really bad dental decay.I’ve had over 9 cats in my life and I’ve never experienced tooth/gum decay like his (he’s only 6).I feel somewhat comforted by the fact that this food may offer some relief to his inflamed gums and aid in his dental concerns.One aspect I like is the size of the kibble. Scientifically, I’ve read that larger kibble equates to more chewing and more chewing yields a greater probability of kibble actively scraping up against the tooth thereby removing plaque and tartar (vs. being consumed without the need to break down the kibble).

★★★★★ I love this chicken flavor assorted as mainly my 13 yr old Shitzu loves it mostly. He only eats the chicken flavored ones sometimes as he is picky in his old age so that's what mama is going to get for him. Even though I have changed his food I still have to give him ceaser wet food from time to time. I find the ceaser wet food does effect his tummy but when I mix it with dry food he loves it. Came on time and packaging was good. It is also great value for the money. I'm not willing to pay more than $25 for ceaser food.

★★★★★ Ned likes this food. He is 4lbs and not a big eater. I have good quality dry food for him all the time, and I give him half of one of these everyday. He loves cooked chicken so I went with the chicken flavours. My late yorkie used to eat this food all the time when he was old.

★★★★★ Having a 14‐1/2 year old Bichon Frise, it gets more difficult to find foods that he will eat. With Cesar's I never have an issue. The portion size is just perfect for him, as he's a smaller pup. His empty dish tells me that he loves it!

★☆☆☆☆ Very occasionally, a charcoal filter will last me 3 weeks Usually about 10 days. And, as with the latest purchase of filters, I am changing them every 3 days! The fountain simply slows to a silent trickle. Change the charcoal filter and it runs like the Fountains of Versailles once again......for the next few days. BUT, it will run just fine without the charcoal filter at all! YES, I HATE THIS PRODUCT!

★★★★★ I’ve used other filters and find that although the coal runs clean during the first rinse... a couple weeks later when I go to clean my pet safe fountain the filter is still bleeding dark coal residue.Not with the petsafe carbon filter. First rinse reveals only a little coal bleeding and runs clear after initial rinse. Also clear on second rinse midway through the month. These are imitated but definitely not duplicated. I suggest these filters. You may pay a bit less for others but you get what you pay for. Your pets deserve petsafe filters.

★★★☆☆ These filters used to be great and kept the pump and water clean for a few weeks at a time. As of my last order I've noticed that the water becomes slick and slimy within a week. Each cycle where a filter is replaced, the mesh is cleaned and washed, all parts of the motor are disassembled and the porcelain parts of the fountain are cleaned.As a result I've foregone the use of these filters, relying simply on the mesh filter as well as replacing the water. This keeps the setup clean and is an improvement over having this filter in place.
