Adult Urinary & Hairball Control Dry Cat Food, Chicken, 7 lb. Bag

This food has been great for my cat. After switching to Hill’s Science Diet Adult Urinary & Hairball Control, I noticed fewer hairballs and better overall digestion within a few weeks. My cat seems to really enjoy the taste too, which is a huge plus because she can be picky with dry food.I also like having the added urinary support for peace of mind, especially for indoor cats. The kibble size is good, the ingredients seem high quality, and her coat has looked healthier and shinier since starting this food.It’s a little more expensive than regular cat food, but for the results and quality, I think it’s worth it.

Reading the reviews, it feels like I'm the only one who likes the new formula. However, I have very specific circumstances.Cats are sensitive to quick changes in food, so without notice, having a change will cause them to vomit. It doesn't necessarily mean the food is bad. They just don't like to change diets so quickly.We're feeding outdoor community cats, many of whom are boys, so we've gotten big bags of this for quite a while now. We've had our guys spayed and neutered, so they're mostly middle-aged, with a few older and a couple younger. The giant kibbles were a bit difficult for them to eat, so I was quite happy to see the kibble size changed.Our cats are vacuuming up the new formula. I still had big bags of the old formula, and was a little sad that I had to put them through that again. But I've finally finished going through the old formula, and had a chance to make a gradual shift to the new. We have about 20 cats or so eating the new formula, and they seem to prefer it quite a bit.Again, these are outdoor cats with more diverse diets than normal cats, so they took the shift better than a typical indoor cat probably would. If you have a chance, I absolutely recommend slowly shifting from the old formula to the new because a fast shift might make your cat vomit. I'm not sure if there are major changes quality-wise (I've saved an old bag so I can compare them whenever I have time), but our cats seem to love it. They've even seemed to lose some interest in their treats as the treats don't seem to attract them much more than this food does now.It turned out to be a welcome change for me as so many of our guys are older and having more mouth issues and such. The old kibbles were just too big.

Long story short, my cats gets so stressed from traveling that she gives herself UTIs (WTF nature?). I bought this for her to mitigate that, along with an oral urinary heath supplement.She LOVES this food. I used to leave dry food out for her 24/7, but I can't do that with this food because she'll eat the whole thing at once. Her urinary issues did clear up, but it's hard to tell if it was because of this food or just good ole time.Here are my tips if your cat is having urinary issues:1. If it's a one-off incident, investigate why it happened! If it's stress-related, which is common, address that first. When traveling, cover the carrier with a blanket to avoid sensory overload.Try spraying the carrier with a pheromone spray like Feliway, which allegedly calms cats. You can even try a pheromone scent plug-in if you want. When kitty is in a new place, isolate them in a room where they can unwind without being disturbed. Google has plenty of resources for how to reduce stress in cats!2. WATER WATER WATER! Entice you cat to drink water. Cats dislike water sources near their food, so try placing another water bowl away from the feeding area. (This is a natural instinct, as water sources near food / meat in the wild are often contaminated). Give fresh water every day. Try a water fountain. (Again, instinct - in the wild, running water is less likely to be contaminated than stagnant water).3. Wet food! This kibble is okay, but cats with UTIs NEED wet food! They often don't drink enough water on their own, so incorporating it in their wet food is the best solution. And use a quality wet food - with the nutrients they need, avoiding ash and fillers. Fun fact, CATS DONT NEED ANY CARBS OR VEGGIES! Their food should be all protein and fat - any diced carrots and peas are to make YOU feel better, not the cat.Experiment with adding extra water to the wet food! (Some cats like it, some do not). Maximize your cat's water intake as much as possible. But I wouldn't suggest adding water to dry food. It gets pretty gross, like soggy cereal.4. Consider an oral supplement. I tried a liquid supplement available on Amazon. My cat avoided her food when I added the liquid, so I administered it directly. To 'force feed' a cat, you just quickly pop the supplement in the throat (not the mouth, where they can spit it out). I prop my kitty's mouth open with one hand and administered the liquid with the other (but I have a very patient, tolerant cat).5. Keep that litter CLEAN! It's likely your frustrated cat will be peeing often, and possibly peeing outside the litter box. Mitigate this by keeping the litter pristine and possibly adding another little box. There's also a product called "Cat Attract" that allegedly attracts cats to their litter, though I've never used it personally.6. Finally, track their potty behaviors as much as possible. If urinary issues persist, especially in male cats where they can get total urethral blockages and actually die, go to the vet. Have a log of all the times your cat visited the litter box the day before. Note how much they pee, if it's discolored, etc.To anyone who ended up on this page because their cat is having pee-pee problems, good luck! Just stick with it. <3

We currently have 4 cats. 2 of them have had urinary tract infections and all of them have had hairball issues. Switching to this food has been a game changer. With as much as they shed we haven’t had too many issues with having to clean up hairballs. Would and have recommended this cat food to others.

My 2 cats LOVE this kibble. They recently stopped eating their usual brand, so I figured I'd give Hills a shot.PRO: My cats seem to be in a better mood just before and after eating it, when compared to the other brands I've tried for them. They will eat almost anything, but with this kibble they actually seem to look forward to it/enjoy it more than just to appease an empty tummyCON: A little more Expensive than averageTAKE NOTE: The size of the kibble is slightly larger than averageAs for the hairball aspect of this food, neither of my cats had a problem with that (yet), so I cant say one way or the other if it helps cats that do

Excellent cat food! Best on the market for urinary health and hairball management. Been using it to feed my cat for over a decade, but suddenly (a few months prior) they changed the formula, size and color of kibble, and did so without warning or indicating the change initially. I give this food 4 stars for that reason. I contacted Hill's Science Diet with a very detailed explanation of my concerns, and was only given some long-winded answer attesting to the fact that this is tested and vetted for nutritional content to be the best. But, I find that information to be false, considering the nutritional value of this new ingredient is not good for cats in the quantity provided. The size of kibble change is drastic, which abruptly changed the portions, affecting those cats on diets, and reduces the dental benefits of chewing larger peices. Do I still recommend this food, yes. It still stands above the rest of it's kind for ingredients, cost, and especially calorie content. However, this change was unnecessary and seems to be a way to reduce cost on their end, while increasing the cost on our end, with size and ingredients, all while rising the cost per bag steadily over the years.

I switched to Hill’s Science Diet Urinary Hairball Control for my cat a few months ago, and I’ve seen such a positive difference! First of all, she absolutely loves the taste—she runs to her bowl every time it dispenses, which hasn’t always been the case with other foods.I wanted something that would support her health while also helping with hairballs (she’s a long-haired kitty). Since starting this food, no more hairball surprises on the carpet, and her litter box habits have been totally normal and healthy.The kibble size is perfect, and the ingredients seem high quality. I also appreciate that it’s specifically formulated for adult cats 1–6 years old, so I know she’s getting the right nutrition for her age.If your cat has urinary concerns or struggles with hairballs—and is a bit picky like mine—this food is definitely worth trying. It’s made a big difference in her health and happiness!

In general, I love this cat food. It’s great for my cat’s needs and is truly quality cat food. When I adopted him, he was very overweight so we started with the weight control option from this brand and then got him switched to the hairball and urinary tract one once he got to a healthy weight.Before I got him on this brand of food, his coat was very dull and rough and not very full. But after about a month, it became super shiny, soft, and healthy.He has a sensitive stomach but this formula is gentle enough that he doesn’t get sick. The only thing I don’t like is that the last two bags I got now have kibbles that are 1/3 the size. So he doesn’t have to chew them as much which causes him to eat too fast and throw up. I don’t understand why they changed the kibble size but I’m pretty upset about it.In general, though, the formula is fantastic for maintaining your cat’s nutrition without them getting any fillers that can cause weight gain. And it doesn’t have two pungent of a smell so if you’re sensitive to the smell of cat food, this one is a lot less fragrant.

Buen alimento de muy buena calidad, llegó a tiempo

My cat if weird he likes to rip off big chunks of his fur and walk around the house with it hanging off his mouth. The daily routine consist of me running after him and trying to pry those big chunks out of his mouth before he just munches on it and swallow them all that while looking at me straight in the eyes. This will eventually lead to a couple of days later the inevitable throwing up of the said swallowed fur. Since I switched to this food. no more throwing up hairballs. But I still do the daily chases just because we love it.

Dont believe the negative reviews saying it is not suitable for Indian cats. All my 11 Indian cats and the cats who come to my house are eating this and they absolutely love this as well. Some cats may hesitate at first but you gotta go slow with them by mixing it with their old food, bu they will surely love it once they get used to it. My cats have gained healthy weight and better coat and less fur fall after they start eating this. Definitely go for it.

Perfect for my cat.

Surpreende a todos que comprei. Muito bom. Infelizmente eu não posso, manter pelo valor. O presidente dos infelizes, tiram tudo de nós. Até o sono.
