Hills Feline

...told me to go onto Hills tooth kind "Oral" They loved this, well they would at £16 a bag, they ate as much as the put back in the litter tray. After a while my large Persian stayed in a cattery, I did warn them that she wasn't very good at cleaning her bottom and since Hills the consistency had become a lot stickier. She came out distraught, wouldn't stop cleaning her bottom until she had no fur on her tail. More trips to the vets more Hills food ...
...I threw the bag of Hills back at the vets and demanded a refund (£28) which of course took me about 3 phone calls to collect. In the meantime I did some heavy research over the net and found that Hills, particularly in America had caused this kind of problem in quite a few cats and in fact some of Hills products, vets had discontinued. I also discovered that if a vet promotes Hills, Hills in return heavily sponsor the vet. My neighbour has two ...

Review of Hills Feline

We've fed our three cats Hills Science Diet (adult "light chicken" variety) for as long as I can remember. It feels very expensive (£11-£12 for the 2 kg) but they say when you break down the cost, it's actually not that bad. You can get a better deal if you can afford to buy the largest bags in one go and if you can manage to carry it to the car! :-) But the real reason I'm writing this review is because of a specialty "prescription diet" dry cat ...
...pleased to find out that Hills promises to refund your money if your cat refuses to eat it. Thankfully Charlotte loved the food from the start, as did our other two unfortunately - down to the tempting high protein aroma! So really, the only downside then: * smelly because of the ingredients * Our other two cats love it too (but don't worry, the vet said it was fine for them to eat it as well!) As it's impossible to feed three cats separately, ...

Review of Hills Feline

Hi! My name is Shady - yes, my stupid mother is an Eminem fan! She writes under the name of Karen(UK) here at Ciao and while she's just nipped out, I thought I'd write an opinion myself. After all, it's not often us cats get a chance to have our say. I have only been living in my new home a few days, but before that I lived with an elderly couple and they had me from being a kitten. I am now three and a half and have always been fed this delicious ...
...Plan - Veterinary Formulated is rather a mouthful for a puss like me - and it contains the dreaded 'V' word too, ugh! Anyway, it comes in small brown coloured dry pellets, so it is tiny enough to fit in my delicate mouth and easily crunched. It tastes and smells so much better than that awful tinned stuff, with or without gravy or jelly. Just remember to leave out a constant supply of water (or cat milk), as it can make us poor pussies thirsty. ...

Review of Hills Feline

...I wrote this article/review about Hills food as it was highly recommended by our vet. The fact that he insisted on how good this kind of dried food was and also due to the fact that it seemed to save us money I was convinced that it was the best solution for our cats feeding problems…. But since then we’ve lost one of our cats due to ‘sudden kidney problems’ which the vet could not explain as it had checked him OK only a couple weeks ago, our other ...
...there was no connection between Hills biscuits and my cat’s kidney problems. As long as they were drinking enough water there was nothing to worry about… But I had my doubts for this kind of dried food so I’ve decided to ignore him and go back to the old days of feeding them normal biscuits and Felix individuals pouches… It’s being a few months now and both cats are back to their normal selves, energetic, chasing each other, breaking things, climbing ...

Review of Hills Feline

Our kitten is now 12 months old and we were recommended this by the cat breeder and our vet! We are now putting him on the Adult version... Advantages - Great for nutrition/source of vitamins/minerals/fibre - Cats love it! - No artifical flavours or colourants added - Antitoxidant vitamins to promote healthy digestive system (this certainly is the case - regular poos/right consistency/some smelly!!!!!) :-) - You don't need to use wet food (however, ...
...give it a more juicier type feed) - If you don't use wet food it's great in hotter weather (no chance of it being attacked by flies or going off!) - Works out less expensive (£12.50 - £13 for a 2kg pack which has lasted 6 weeks! You can get the bigger bags but this takes up space in your storage area and it's harder to carry! - Great for the teeth (although my cat is only 12 months old), I was advised by the breeder that cats who feed on wet food ...

Review of Hills Feline

...first started feeding my cats Hills Science Plan Feline Maintenence when there was on offer in Petsmart for a free bag in exchange for empty tins of cat food. This was a very good offer, but now one of my cats will eat basically nothing but Hills. While it seems like a lot to shell out - £11 for a 2Kg sack, if you follow the recommended feeding plan, the daily cost is less than feeding tinned food. The food will keep for a while once opened as ...
...recommended she go on to Hills Prescription R/D food (R/D - Reducing Diet) She still likes the biscuits, but eats less of them and she does seem to be slimming down a little. R/D is a higher fibre, lower calorie food with L Carnitine added to help breakdown existing fat stores (Squeaky has plenty of these) She still tucks into them well, but they seem to fill her up more than the regular or light feline maintenance. At the end of the bag she will ...

Review of Hills Feline

...a very sensitive stomach and Hills have managed to sort out both problems. Fat Cat was on Hills Science Diet when we adopted her and we continued her on this (with the occasional treat) and she’s losing weight slowly, but it is staying off (which I think is a much better way to lose the extra poundage). The food comes in 2 flavours: Chicken and Tuna and now in a Senior edition - which is for cats over 7 years old. At the moment the Senior only comes ...
...complete foods) and the other Hills varieties (hairball, diet and normal) we discovered Hills Sensitive Stomach. Now his stomach is fine - even when he gets stressed after travelling and we can even mix in some other foods now and again as a treat. The pellets are moist unlike the other Science Feline products and contains rice and egg, which helps settle the stomach. At the moment it only comes in one flavour and not available in Senior. You must ...

Review of Hills Feline

...bill he was put on Hills Prescription diet C/D. This was in 2005. Since then his general health has improved dramatically! His coat is sleek and he has had zero urine problems. After managing his urine we placed him on Hills W/D (as he's a bulky fellow who needs to lose a bit of weight) and he continues to thrive. He now has more energy and his urine and stools are healthier than they have ever been. I am so pleased every time I look at him because ...
...people feeding their cats rubbish I get so mad!! And most people feed their cats 3x as much food as they actually need. Sure some cats may have a fine life on generic cat food, but my cat has special needs and Hills Prescription is best for him. ...

Review of Hills Feline

Our stubby fat cat has been eating Hill's dry cat food for five of her ten years. There is a wide variety to choose from for each life stage and for different ailments (obesity being our cat's failing). She has tried most of the range and it seems to satisfy her hunger and she never seems to tire of it like she has with other foods. One of her old habits was to grind wet food into the floor and it obviously doesn't happen with this. It is also far ...
...to eat the whole bowl at once - wet food always looked a bit scabby after an hour or so. There is never any waste and Hill's does seem to have a bulk advantage over some dry food competitors so she never seems too hungry. The down side is trying to get the right product for our cat who is an overweight senior and we often have to order it in advance which is ok if you remember in time. We have problems finding suppliers as we live in a rural area ...

...around since, basicly, dry food. Hills also has a good range of prescription diets. This shows me, how much knowledge, resources, people Hills have. I believe, big companys have more scientist working for them, have more responsibilities. If this food was really not that good, soon it would desapear from the shops, unless it was as cheap, as super market brands. When it comes to my pet food, I don't follow fashion. I don't think I could balance their ...
