Excellent Product My Cat LOVES! Our rescue cat, Lola, loves this food. She suffers from hairballs, and we wanted a food that would help her eliminate these. Well, this did it for us! She loves the flavor and it makes her coat very shiny and soft. Thanks, Hills, for helping our Lola! June 26, 2012
My cat isn't a fan of the new formula Science Diet changed the packaging and the formula. My cat always ate the old formula like it was going out of style. When I bought the new bag he stopped eating and at first I thought he was sick, since he never turns down a meal. After a few days of not eating I tried the Light only version which he devoured.

science Diet® Adult Hairball Control Light My cats were trying to open the bag when I first sat it down. They loved the taste and wanted more. Would buy this for them. February 6, 2013
Theresa C. I was surprised to get a bag of Adult Hairball Control cat food via UPS 3 days ago! I figured I won it somehow but, I'm glad I did because my cats love it! Our oldest, Tigger is 15 years old and has a lot of hairball/constipation issues. So far, she's doing a lot better with her issues and if it continues to help we'll absolutely continue with this brand no matter how much it costs!! Also, I hope it helps my big boy Thumperton shed a pound or two! January 19, 2013
Finicky Smudge Loves It! My cat Smudge is very picky about his food. He absolutely loves this. I mistakenly bought a different kind of cat food (still Science Diet, just not hairball control light adult) and he refused to eat it. He had some health issues and had to be changed off of this and he refused to eat it, he chose to not eat for several days rather than to eat something else. This is all that I feed him as he loves it so much. January 9, 2013
Hairball Food My cats enjoyed this food and there was less coughing from hairballs August 3, 2012
Our Cats Love This Food Now! When we first bought this food, our cars did not like it. Now that they've gotten used to it, their coats are much smoother and no more hair balls. We love this food at our house! July 23, 2012
Good product - the cats lose weight. My cats are hairball free and are losing weight by using Hills Science Diet Light Hairball Formula. June 26, 2012
