Hill's Science Diet Adult Urinary & Hairball Control Canned Cat Food, Savory Chicken Entrée, 5.5 oz (5.5 oz x 24 cans)

Dual-Action Chicken Wet Cat Food for Urinary Health and Hairball Reduction

Product Description

Hill's Science Diet Adult Urinary & Hairball Control Savory Chicken Entrée Canned Cat Food tackles two of the most common feline health concerns in a single, complete daily wet meal. A balanced mineral profile with optimal magnesium levels actively supports the whole urinary system, while natural fiber from powdered cellulose and beet pulp works to comfortably reduce hairball formation.

Benefits

• Whole Urinary System Support: A carefully controlled mineral balance with optimal magnesium levels helps actively support the complete health of the urinary system throughout daily feeding for adult cats.
• Comfortable Hairball Reduction: Natural fiber from powdered cellulose and dried beet pulp helps move ingested hair comfortably through the digestive tract, reducing the frequency of hairball formation in cats that groom heavily.
• Higher Fiber than Standard Wet Foods: Crude fiber at 9.2% dry matter is significantly higher than most adult wet cat foods, specifically engineered to assist with hairball management without disrupting overall digestive health.
• Skin and Coat Nourishment: Vitamin E at 863 IU/kg and omega-6 fatty acids at 4.76% dry matter support healthy skin condition and a lustrous, well-nourished coat alongside the urinary and hairball benefits.
• L-Carnitine for Metabolism: L-Carnitine is included to support healthy metabolic function and body weight management, an added benefit not found in most standard adult canned cat entrées.
• High-Quality Chicken Protein: Real chicken as the primary protein delivers a flavorful, nutritious meal that supports lean muscle maintenance in adult cats during everyday feeding.
• Antioxidant Immune Support: Vitamins C at 154 ppm and E work together as an antioxidant pair to help maintain a healthy immune system in adult cats throughout daily feeding.

Recommended-Usage Chart

Disclaimer: Product information and usage guidelines are provided by the manufacturer. Always use products as directed on the label and consult your veterinarian before use if you have any concerns regarding your pet's health.

Directions for Use

• Adjust for Body Condition: Fine-tune daily amounts as needed to help the cat maintain an optimal body weight, and seek veterinary guidance if the correct portion size is uncertain.
• Transition Over 7 Days: When switching to this food, gradually mix more new food with less old food over a full 7-day period to allow the cat to adjust without digestive disruption.
• Water Supports Urinary Health: Keep fresh drinking water available at all times, as adequate hydration is especially important for cats on a urinary health diet and helps the formula work most effectively.
• Reassess Needs Regularly: Urinary and hairball concerns can evolve over time, so discussing the feeding plan with a vet at every routine check-up ensures the diet continues to be appropriate.

Additional Information

Precautions

• For Adult Cats Ages 1 to 6 Only: This formula is recommended for adult cats between 1 and 6 years of age to support urinary system health and reduce hairballs, and is not appropriate for cats at other life stages.
• Not for Kittens or Pregnant Cats: Kittens and cats that are pregnant or nursing should be switched to Hill's Science Diet Kitten or Hill's Science Diet Kitten Indoor dry cat food during those life stages.
• Count All Daily Food: Treats and supplementary foods given alongside these cans should be included in the total daily calorie calculation to avoid unintentional overfeeding.
• Use Feeding Chart as a Guide: The daily amounts in the feeding guide are starting references only and should be adjusted based on the individual cat's body condition and veterinary input over time.

Possible Side Effects

• Digestive Sensitivity on Transition: Moving to a new food too quickly may cause temporary digestive discomfort, which is why the 7-day gradual transition is especially important before fully replacing the previous diet.

Storage Information

• Refrigerate After Opening: Once opened, cover any remaining food and refrigerate it right away to keep it fresh and safe for the next meal.
• Keep Packaging Away: Store all cans and packaging out of reach of both pets and children at all times to prevent potential suffocation hazards.
• Store Unopened Cans Properly: Keep unopened cans in a cool, dry place away from heat and moisture until they are ready to be served.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What is the difference between the 2.9 oz and 5.5 oz versions of this urinary and hairball control cat food?

Ans: Both cans contain exactly the same formula, ingredients, and guaranteed analysis. The difference is purely in portion size. The 2.9 oz cans offer a smaller, single-serve portion ideal for cats with smaller appetites or owners who prefer opening a fresh can at every meal. The 5.5 oz cans suit larger cats or households where two meals can be served from a single can.

Q2: Does this cat food actually prevent hairballs or just reduce their frequency?

Ans: This formula is designed to help reduce hairball formation rather than eliminate it entirely. The natural fiber at 9.2% crude fiber dry matter helps move swallowed hair through the digestive system more efficiently, comfortably reducing how often hairballs form. Regular daily feeding helps maintain this benefit over time.

Q3: Why does this urinary and hairball wet food contain Potassium Citrate?

Ans: Potassium Citrate is included to help support a healthy urinary environment in adult cats. It contributes to the formula's mineral balance strategy by working alongside the optimal magnesium levels to support the overall health of the urinary system, making it a purposeful ingredient specifically tied to the urinary health benefit of this dual-action formula.

Q4: How does the fiber content in this hairball control cat food compare to regular adult wet food?

Ans: At 9.2% crude fiber dry matter, this formula has significantly more fiber than most standard adult wet cat foods, which typically fall below 5%. The extra fiber is intentional, helping hair pass through the digestive tract to manage hairballs during daily feeding.

Q5: Is this Hill's urinary and hairball wet food appropriate for an indoor cat that grooms excessively?

Ans: Yes, this formula is a great fit for indoor adult cats aged 1 to 6 who groom frequently and are prone to hairballs. Indoor cats tend to groom more and may be less active, making the combination of hairball fiber and urinary mineral balance especially useful. It is designed as a preventive, everyday diet for healthy adult cats.

Q6: Can this urinary and hairball control wet food be mixed with Hill's dry formulas for complete nutrition?

Ans: Yes, this canned entrée pairs well with a Hill's Science Diet adult dry food to add texture, variety and increase daily moisture intake. Combining wet and dry formats is particularly beneficial for cats on a urinary health diet since higher moisture consumption from wet food naturally supports kidney and bladder function as part of daily hydration.

Q7: At what age should I transition my cat from this formula to a different urinary health food?

Ans: This formula is made for adult cats aged 1 to 6 years. Once your cat turns 7, switching to a Hill's Science Diet Adult 7+ formula is a good idea, as older cats have different energy and nutritional needs. If urinary health is still a concern at that stage, your veterinarian can help find the right diet going forward.
