Q3: How do I feed this food to my cat?
Ans: Feed according to your cat's body weight using the chart above; for example, a 6 lb cat needs about 1 can daily, while a 10 lb cat needs about 1 1/2 cans of the 5.5 oz size, split across meals. These amounts are a starting point and should be adjusted to maintain your cat's optimal weight, so consult your veterinarian if unsure.
Q4: Is this food suitable for kittens?
Ans: No. This formula is designed for adult cats 1 to 6 years of age prone to hairballs. Kittens, as well as nursing or pregnant cats, should be switched to Hill's Science Kitten food or Kitten Indoor dry food instead.
Q5: What is the difference between this and the Urinary Hairball Control version?
Ans: This Hairball Control formula focuses specifically on reducing hairballs through natural fiber and complete nutrition. The Urinary Hairball Control version uses a different ingredient profile with optimized magnesium levels to additionally support urinary tract health alongside hairball reduction.

Ans: The 5.5 oz can provides 179 kcal. Use this calorie information alongside your veterinarian's guidance to find the appropriate daily feeding amount for your cat's individual weight and activity level.
Q7: Does this food support skin and coat health in addition to hairball control?
Ans: Yes. This recipe includes Vitamin E along with Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids, which support healthy skin and a beautiful coat. These nutrients work alongside the fiber content to address both hairball reduction and overall coat quality.
Q8: What should I do if my cat still has frequent hairballs on this food?
Ans: If hairball frequency does not improve or continues to worsen despite consistent feeding, consult your veterinarian. Persistent hairballs may indicate an underlying digestive issue, grooming habit, or health condition that requires further evaluation beyond dietary management alone.
