Love the new opening Finally! I don't have fight to open the bag and struggle to close it. The new opening is superior to the old one. No more weird placement of the locking strips. Just zip it closed. Kitty loves the food, too :) April 1, 2013
LIGHT encourages he keeps fit!!! Marcel looks forward to "desserT which i know is also good for his teeth! February 26, 2013
Excellent Food! I have been feeding this food to my 5 year old indoor spayed female since she was 2 years old. She has maintained a healthy weight and it gives her the energy she needs to run around the house like crazy! She loves this food! She paces herself when eating, so she knows to not eat too much. I will keep feeding this to her until she turns 7 or 8. February 4, 2013
Perfect for my Felines! I purchased this product after I got a coupon from the Hill's website for it. My Maine Coon "Frank" is 5 years old and he's kind of on the plump side, I won't lie. I bought this in hopes that it would be more filling and cause him to loose a few pounds easily yet healthy. It worked! I feed him 3/4 cup all day and 1 can of wet food and he has lost 3lbs. He enjoys the taste and because it's Hill's, I know the quality is amazing. The coupons always help too :) August 21, 2012
feeds my picky eater My cat would only eat the same food for years and has gotten chubby so we were pleased when she tried the lite food and loves it July 10, 2012
good product all my cats love this food, this is a very good product June 24, 2012
Adult Light My 3 cats will only eat this cat food. They won't even eat canned cat food, treats, or meat. June 20, 2012
Cats like the Flavor even after several years I've fed my cats Hill's Diet Adult Light for many years. They are healthy with shiny coats & very active. They wait to be fed every day & "meow" when I give them their dish. June 13, 2012
