Directions for Use

• Adjust for Body Condition: Fine-tune daily portions as needed to help the cat maintain an ideal body weight, and check in with a vet whenever the right amount is unclear.
• Transition Over 7 Days: When introducing this food, slowly increase the new food while reducing the old each day over 7 days to prevent digestive upset.
• Fresh Water Always: Keep fresh drinking water accessible to the cat at all times throughout the day to support adequate daily hydration alongside every meal.
• Review Needs as Cat Ages: A cat's nutritional requirements can shift over time, so discussing the feeding plan with a vet at every routine check-up helps keep it current.
• Keep Packaging Away: Store all cans and packaging safely out of reach of both pets and children at all times to prevent any potential suffocation hazards.

• Not for Kittens or Pregnant Cats: Kittens and cats that are pregnant or nursing should be switched to Hill's Science Diet Kitten food or Hill's Science Diet Kitten Indoor dry food during those life stages.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Ans: The key difference is the texture format. This Tender Ocean Fish Dinner features chunks of real ocean fish in a rich, decadent gravy, while the Ocean Fish Entrée uses a soft, finely minced texture. Both are designed for adult cats between 1 and 6 years and deliver complete balanced nutrition, but this dinner suits cats that prefer a more substantial, chunkier texture at mealtime.

Q2: What makes this ocean fish canned cat food stand out nutritionally from the chicken and turkey entrées?

Ans: The most striking difference is the vitamin E content. This ocean fish formula delivers vitamin E at 1683 IU/kg dry matter, far higher than the chicken entrée at 546 IU/kg or the turkey entrée at 547 IU/kg. It also provides a higher total omega-3 content at 0.97% dry matter from its fish-based protein, supporting cellular health from a seafood source.

Q3: How many calories are in each can of this adult ocean fish cat food?

Ans: Each 5.5 oz can contains 183 kcal, making it the highest calorie per can among the adult tender dinner range, which delivers 160 kcal per can for chicken and similar levels for tuna. For a 10 lb cat, approximately 1 1/2 cans per day is the recommended daily starting amount for adult maintenance.

Q4: Can I feed this ocean fish 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 full, standalone meal or paired with a Hill's Science Diet adult dry food to give the cat a variety of textures throughout the day.

Q5: Is this Hill's tender ocean fish cat food suitable for cats that are picky about texture?

Ans: Yes, the chunks in gravy format are specifically designed to appeal to cats that enjoy a more substantial, moist texture rather than smooth minced food. The rich, decadent gravy surrounding the fish chunks enhances palatability and makes this an appealing option for even the most selective adult cat eaters.

Q6: When should I transition my adult cat from this formula to a senior ocean fish product?

Ans: This formula is recommended for adult cats between 1 and 6 years of age. Once a cat reaches 7 years, transitioning to a Hill's Science Diet Adult 7+ wet food formula is advisable, as those recipes are specifically tailored to the shifting nutritional needs of cats entering their mature and senior years.

Q7: How should I store opened and unopened cans of this ocean fish adult 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. Unopened cans should be kept in a dry, cool area away from heat and moisture until you are ready to serve them, helping preserve the quality of every can.
