Hill's Science Diet Adult Chicken Recipe Cat Food

Why it is listed

Buy this when you want a live U.S. maker page that prints an AAFCO feeding-trial sentence for adult cat maintenance, plus a listed 7 lb shop.hillspet.com price. Not a kitten food. Not Adult 7+. Not homemade. Not a vet visit.

Pros & cons

Pros

• hillspet.com Adult Chicken Recipe PDP 2026-09-02: recommended for adult cats 1–6 years of age; not recommended for kittens and pregnant or nursing cats (switch those cats to Hill’s Science Diet Kitten or Kitten Indoor). Animal feeding tests using AAFCO procedures substantiate that Hill's Science Diet Adult Chicken Recipe Cat Food provides complete and balanced nutrition for maintenance of adult cats.
• 3873 kcal/kg; 483 kcal/cup. Adult-maintenance feeding table in cups and grams (4–16 lb cats). Sizes named on the PDP: 16 lb, 7 lb, 4 lb, 1 lb. 7-day transition. Dry food made in Hill’s U.S. facilities with global ingredients (company copy). First ingredient listed: Chicken.
• shop.hillspet.com SKU 2045 2026-09-02: one-time $34.99 for the 7 lb bag (autoship $33.24 optional, not required). Same maker family includes Adult 7+ Indoor Chicken on hillspet.com — a different SKU.

Cons

• This row is Adult 1–6 Chicken Recipe dry, not Adult 7+, not Kitten, and not a wet entrée. Hill’s says switch kittens and pregnant or nursing cats to a Science Diet Kitten SKU.
• U.S. Veterinarians’ #1 Recommended Brand on the PDP is marketing. We did not score it. We do not claim WSAVA.
• Complete and balanced is a labeled feeding-trial claim, not a homemade recipe. Transition over 7 days as the PDP says. We are not veterinarians.
