Benefits

• Whole Urinary System Support: A healthy mineral balance with optimal levels of magnesium helps support the complete health of the urinary system in adult cats during everyday feeding.
• Natural Fiber Hairball Control: Natural fiber from powdered cellulose and dried beet pulp works to comfortably reduce hairball formation by helping move ingested hair through the digestive system.
• Dual-Action Formula: This is one of the few adult cat wet foods that simultaneously addresses both urinary system health and hairball reduction in a single complete daily diet.
• Highest Crude Fiber in Range: With crude fiber at 9.2% dry matter, this formula delivers one of the highest fiber levels among adult Science Diet canned entrées, specifically designed for hairball management.
• Healthy Skin and Coat: Vitamin E at 863 IU/kg and omega-6 fatty acids at 4.76% dry matter are included to support a healthy skin condition and a well-maintained, lustrous coat.
• High-Quality Chicken Protein: Real chicken serves as the primary protein in this recipe, providing a flavorful and nutritious meal that helps adult cats maintain lean muscle mass.
• L-Carnitine Inclusion: This formula includes L-Carnitine, a nutrient that supports healthy metabolism and body weight management, setting it apart from standard adult cat canned formulas.

Directions for Use

• Transition Over 7 Days: When introducing this food for the first time, slowly increase the new food while reducing the old over a full 7 days to prevent digestive upset.
• Fresh Water is Essential: Fresh drinking water should be kept accessible at all times, particularly for cats on a urinary health diet, as hydration plays a key role in supporting the urinary system.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How does this wet cat food help reduce hairballs in adult cats?

Ans: This formula uses natural fiber from powdered cellulose and dried beet pulp, giving it one of the highest crude fiber levels among adult Science Diet canned formulas at 9.2% dry matter. This fiber content helps move swallowed hair through the digestive tract more efficiently, reducing the frequency of hairball formation in cats that groom regularly.

Q2: How does this cat food support urinary health without a prescription?

Ans: This formula supports urinary health through a carefully controlled mineral balance with optimal magnesium levels at 0.068% dry matter. The inclusion of Potassium Citrate helps support a healthy urinary environment. Unlike prescription urinary diets, which treat diagnosed conditions, this formula is designed as a preventive everyday diet for healthy adult cats prone to urinary concerns.

Q3: Is this Hill's urinary and hairball control cat food suitable for cats prone to both issues at the same time?

Ans: Yes, this is one of the few adult wet cat foods that supports both urinary health and hairball management in a single daily formula. The mineral-balanced recipe looks after the urinary system while natural fiber helps manage hairball formation, making it a practical choice for cats dealing with both concerns.

Q4: What is the role of L-Carnitine in this urinary and hairball control cat food?

Ans: L-Carnitine is included in this formula to support healthy metabolism and body weight management in adult cats. It is a step above what most standard adult canned cat foods offer and adds to the overall multi-benefit nutritional profile alongside the urinary and hairball control features.

Q5: How does the magnesium level in this formula support the urinary system?

Ans: Magnesium levels matter when it comes to urinary health in cats. High levels can lead to urinary crystal formation, so this formula keeps magnesium at a carefully maintained 0.068% dry matter to support a healthy mineral balance and overall urinary wellness in adult cats aged 1 to 6.

Q6: Can I feed this urinary and hairball control wet food alongside Hill's dry food?

Ans: Yes, this canned entrée can be served as a standalone complete meal or used alongside a Hill's Science Diet adult dry food. Combining wet and dry food also naturally increases moisture intake, which is particularly beneficial for cats on a urinary health diet since adequate hydration helps support healthy kidney and bladder function.

Q7: What size cans are available for this adult urinary and hairball control cat food?

Ans: This formula is available in two can sizes: the 2.9 oz can, sold as a case of 24, and the 5.5 oz can, also sold as a case of 24. The 2.9 oz cans are a great portion-controlled option for single-cat households or owners who prefer smaller, fresher servings at each mealtime without needing to store large opened cans.
