MemberMisty’s got a sensitive tummy and this brand has been a lifesaver – no more upset belly or midnight messes (if you catch my drift) since we made the switch. Another huge win? Her coat is noticeably shinier and softer.
So far, the flavors are a hit! Tuna & Vegetable Stew gets two paws up from us. Honestly didn’t expect her to lick the bowl clean!
When it comes to cost, it’s marginally pricier than some other brands but I feel the benefits justify that extra bit. Remember, quality cat food can help save on vet bills down the line.
The only downside? Now Misty turns up her nose at all other brands. She’s a Hill’s convert through and through! Their slogan should be “Hill’s: Making Picky Eaters Since 1907”.
Hope this helps with your decision! Let us know what you choose and how your kitties react!
Purr-fectly yours,

MemberNow, on the nutritional side, I reckon it’s got to be good for him. That adorable little chunkster hasn’t had any digestive issues since switching over (not even his notorious cheese aftermath). The vet says he’s at his ideal weight now too so kudos to Hill’s for that!
The way I see it, if the food doesn’t transform my living room into a war zone and makes the cat obsessed with dinner time, it gets 5 stars from me. So yes, Hill’s is approved by this house! Well worth losing your arm according to Mr. Whiskers! 😉

MemberI’d have to agree that Hill’s cat food is a winner in my book too. My little fluff, Ginger, has been on it for about six months now and the difference is remarkable. Her coat’s glossier than ever and full of life, almost like she’s a kitten again!
The ingredients list is impressive too, lots to maintain her health without any of those nasty fillers. It might seem expensive at first glance, but in my opinion, it’s worth every penny considering the benefits I’ve observed.
However, as with everything else, don’t forget every cat is different. What worked for Ginger may not work for your fur baby. Always observe how they respond to a new diet or consult their vet if you are unsure.
So yeah, two paws up for Hill’s from us! 😺

MemberNow, I’ve seen some buzz about questionable ingredients but – real talk – which brand isn’t under fire for something these days? Still, if you’re feeling unsure, better check with your vet. They usually have the 411 on which food is best concerning your fur baby’s age and health condition.
As always though, remember every cat is an individual. What works splendidly for mine might not be the magic formula for yours. Trial and error, my friend! Nothing else will give you a concrete answer about what’ll make your kitty purr with satisfaction. Happy feeding!

MemberOh, I hear you! Shopping for cat food sure feels like going through a battlefield these days. With so many brands, each boasting of being the best – it becomes tricky to pick the right one.
I’ve used Hill’s cat food for my tabby, Whiskers, a few times in the past. Honestly, I have mixed feelings about it. On the upside, she absolutely loved the taste — seeing her gobble up that bowl was a treat in itself! Plus, it seemed to give her a shiny coat; so definitely brownie points for that.
But here’s the downside. She started putting on weight really fast. It freaked me out when our vet brought up obesity concerns. He suggested switching brands or even trying homemade meals. Given how finicky cats can be with their food (tell me about it!), I decided to switch brands.
Also, if ingredient transparency matters to you as much as it does to me, I found Hill’s a bit disappointing in that aspect too. Even though they’ve explicitly listed down all ingredients on the pack–it seemed like a vague list filled with ambiguous names annd terminologies.
In conclusion: while I think Hill’s gets top marks for taste and coat health, its nutritional balance may seem questionable especially if you have an indoor kitty like mine who doesn’t get enough exercise.
Hey, but remember every cat is unique! So don’t be discouraged by my experience alone. If you’re leaning towards Hill’s brand, maybe start small? Get a trial pack perhaps?
I hope this helps some! Give your fur-baby belly rubs from me and Whiskers!

MemberInitially, I was skeptical about the brand because I hadn’t heard much about them. But after doing some research and speaking with my vet, I decided to give it a whirl. And oh boy! Whiskers loved it from day one (she usually turns her nose up at new foods…typical cat, am I right? 😸).
What really sold me was the quality of Hill’s ingredients. They include real protein as the first ingredient and have no artificial colors, flavors or preservatives. Plus, they have a science-based diet option specifically designed for various age groups which is fantastic!
The only downside? It’s a bit more expensive than other brands. But honestly? Seeing Whiskers so happy and healthy makes every penny worth it.👍
Would love to hear other people’s experiences. Happy cat parenting! 🐈⬛

MemberI have two fur-babies myself, a calico named Whiskers and a tuxedo boi, Mr. Fluff-n-stuff. The first time I served them Hill’s cat food, I swear Whiskers looked at me like I’d been holding out on her all these years. She dove right in and didn’t come up for air till she’d cleaned the bowl.
Mr. Fluff-n-stuff? Well, he’s a bit more sophisticated (or so he thinks), took his time with it but kept coming back throughout the day until that bowl was just about sparkling.
But beyond the taste test, what really hooked me is the variety Hill’s offers – different recipes for different needs. Whiskers has taken a bit too much after her momma if you catch my drift 🍰😅, so she’s on their weight management plan; Mr. Fluff gets the urinary care blend.
And let’s talk about the ingredients! Easier to pronounce than my last name and something I can feel good about giving my cats.
To boot, their coats are glossy enough to put any shampoo commercial to shame! Seriously considering getting Mr. Fluff-n-stuff an agent at this point.
So I’d say give it a whirl – your cats might just stage an intervention if they find out you’ve been holding out on ’em too! Just remember to keep some treats handy during the transition though – change can be hard for those little tummies!
Let us know how your furbabies take to it!

MemberThe best part? Whiskers loves it! She used to be picky about her kibble. Now as soon as she hears that bag rustle…let’s just say we should’ve named her Lightning instead 😸 The science aspect of Hill’s impresses me too. It’s not just generic cat food – they make different formulas catering towards various dietary needs which is great!
Long story short, Hill’s might be worth considering if you’re looking for something a touch healthier for your furry friend. Good luck deciding, fellow cat parent. Let us know what you choose! 🐾

MemberI’ve been feeding my kitty, Whiskers, Hill’s cat food for quite a while now. That brat is really picky about what she eats but seems to enjoy Hill’s quite a bit. I usually switch between the chicken and tuna flavors just to give her some variety.
Apart from the fact that she appears to love the taste, I’ve observed that it’s been good for her health too. Her coat has become shinier and she doesn’t have hairball issues anymore. Thanks to Hill’s Science Diet blend, you know. Plus, it has easy-to-understand nutritional labels! There goes my worry about balancing nutrients correctly for the furball—so that’s a major win.
The downside? It is slightly pricer compared to other brands in the market. But hey, nothing but the best for my Whiskers. She’s practically family after all!
Remember every cat is different and reacts differently to food. So even though my experience has been pretty positive with Hill’s, it might not be the same for your feline friend! Just food for thought…
Hope this helps! Give our kitty friends a pet from me.11/22/2024 at 2:31 PM #3515Curious_Dogmom_3380
MemberI specifically use the Science Diet version for indoor cats since Whiskers isn’t really the outdoorsy type (her greatest adventure is navigating from couch to bed and back again 😅). The change in her coat quality alone sold me on this – it’s never been as soft and shiny. And let’s not forget about her litter box; the smell is far less pungent.
If anyone worries about transitioning their cats, don’t sweat it! Whiskers was notoriously picky with her meals but surprisingly took to Hill’s without much fuss. Also, remember that your vet is always there to give advice on dietary changes if needed.
So yeah, thumbs up from me and high-five from Whiskers for Hill’s cat food!

MemberI’ve been using Hill’s cat food for my furry pal, Blue, for almost a year now. He absolutely adores it. At first, I was unsure about switching him from his old brand, but the vet strongly recommended it. I’ve noticed a significant improvement in Blue’s fur coat; so shiny and full of life!
The thing I appreciate most about Hill’s (aside their magic on Blue’s coat) is their assorted flavors and formulations. They take care to have specific formulas for different ages, which reassures me that Blue’s getting all the nutrients he needs.
However, I will say it tends to run quite pricier than your average kitty chow. But considering the overall quality, I reckon it’s worth it. For anyone on the fence about making the switch to Hill’s, I’d say give it a go! Your kitty might just love it as much as Blue does.
Remember though, every cat is unique with their own likes and dislikes. What works for one feline might not work for another.
Best of luck with your kitty food journey!

MemberI’ve been feeding my kitty Hill’s Science Diet for about 6 months now, and to be honest, I have mixed feelings. On the one hand, my cat REALLY loves it – cleans her bowl every time.
But on the flip side, I noticed she’s packing on a few extra pounds since switching over from Blue Buffalo. Checked out the nutritional info and yep, Hill’s is a bit higher in carbs. Not ideal if you ask me, especially for indoor cats that aren’t super active (my furball).
Also, it irks me how pricey this stuff can get. Granted, my vet swears by it for its high-quality ingredients and balanced nutrition, but I can’t shake off the feeling that there could be alternatives out there that do the job just as well but cost less.
Just my two cents! Remember, what works (or doesn’t) for my cat might not be the same for yours. Every fur baby is unique in their own way! 🐱♥️

MemberAt first, like many of us, I was unsure about the price point but the nutritional value is totally worth every penny. Good nutrition isn’t just for us humans after all! You can see the results in your kitty’s playfulness and overall health condition.
However, as each critter is unique, always keep monitor for any unusual reactions. Be it a fancy feast or a minimalistic diet – what works for one might not work for another. If your kitty turns up her nose at it initially, try transitioning slowly from her current food to Hill’s.
Hope this helps! Keep pampering those furballs. 🐾
