Directions for Use

• Adjust for Body Condition: Fine-tune daily portions as needed to help the cat maintain an optimal body weight, and check in with a vet if the correct amount is unclear.
• Transition Over 7 Days: Introduce this food gradually by mixing more new food with less old food each day over a full 7-day period to prevent temporary digestive discomfort during the switch.
• Fresh Water Always: Keep fresh drinking water accessible to the cat at all times throughout the day, alongside every meal to support proper daily hydration.
• Refrigerate After Opening: Cover any leftover food and pop it in the fridge right away to keep it fresh and safe for the next meal.
• Review Needs as Cat Ages: A cat's nutritional requirements can change over time, so discussing the feeding plan with a vet at every routine check-up helps keep it appropriate.
• Keep Packaging Away: Store all cans and packaging safely out of reach of both pets and children at all times to prevent potential suffocation hazards.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How does this Tender Chicken Dinner differ from the Savory Chicken Entrée in the Science Diet range?

Ans: The key difference is the texture format. This Tender Chicken Dinner features chunks of real chicken smothered in a rich gravy, while the Savory Chicken Entrée uses a soft, smooth minced texture. Both are designed for adult cats between 1 and 6 years old with the same life stage focus, but this option suits cats that prefer a more substantial, chunkier texture at mealtime.

Q2: How many calories does this adult tender chicken cat food contain per can?

Ans: Each 5.5 oz can contains 160 kcal. For example, a 10 lb adult cat needs approximately 1 2/3 cans per day for adult maintenance. Knowing the calorie content per can makes it straightforward to calculate and manage daily intake across the full feeding chart, which covers cats from 4 lbs up to 16 lbs.

Q3: Can I feed this tender chicken dinner cat food to my cat every day as a complete meal?

Ans: Yes, this formula is verified by AAFCO feeding tests to provide complete and balanced nutrition for the daily maintenance of adult cats between 1 and 6 years. It can be served as a standalone complete meal or paired with a Hill's Science Diet dry food to give the cat a varied texture experience throughout the day.

Q4: Does this Hill's adult tender chicken wet cat food support immune health?

Ans: Yes, this recipe contains vitamins C at 132 ppm and E at 736 IU/kg on a dry matter basis, which work together as antioxidants to support a strong and healthy immune system. These antioxidant vitamins help protect cells from daily oxidative stress and contribute to overall well-being alongside the balanced daily nutrition this formula provides.

Q5: Are these chunks in gravy cat food suitable for cats transitioning from dry to wet food?

Ans: Yes, this wet food is a great option for cats moving from dry to wet feeding. The 7-day gradual transition is recommended to prevent temporary digestive upset during the changeover. Beginning with mostly dry food and a small amount of this wet food, then progressively shifting the ratio each day, helps the cat adapt comfortably to the new texture and ingredients.

Q6: At what age should I stop feeding this adult tender chicken canned food to my cat?

Ans: This formula is recommended for adult cats between 1 and 6 years of age. Once a cat reaches 7 years, transitioning to Hill's Science Diet Adult 7+ Tender Chicken Dinner Cat Food is recommended, as it is specifically formulated with precisely balanced nutrition to support healthy aging and the distinct nutritional needs of cats during their mature years.

Q7: How should I store opened and unopened cans of this adult chicken gravy cat food?

Ans: After opening, cover any remaining food and pop it in the fridge right away to keep it fresh and safe for the next meal. Store the food cans in a cool, dry place away from heat and moisture until you are ready to serve them, to preserve the nutritional quality.
