No more hairballs! As my cat is aging, he started getting hairballs. I was able to get a free sample bag of Hills Science Diet for hairball control so I figured I would try it. About 3 weeks after diet was fully changed over to the new food, the hairballs have stopped! He has been eating this for about 4 months now. We do have an occasional hairball, but nothing like before. May 21, 2013
hiils my cat had horrible food allergies until i gave her your product now no itshing only comfort thank you January 22, 2013
Control my cat needs My cat def needed some control for his hair balls since he never seems to get rid of them himself. August 26, 2012
Here Kitty Your cat will have a healthy diet with balanced nutrition that they will eat. August 23, 2012
Can't eat anything else!! I have 2 adult house cats. I have tried to switch them a few times from the hairball control food to a "cheaper" brand or even to a regular science diet brand. But, everytime I do, I regret it and end up getting the hairball science diet right away. They leave me "presents" all over the house (puked hairballs/undigested foods) or they get very loose stools from the other store brand hairball foods. Thier coats even start to look dull with increased shedding. I will never try to feed them anything else!! They will also pick out and eat only the hairball science diet if I mix it with another brand!! July 23, 2012
Has made a difference! We feed our cats this after a worsening problem with hairballs. It has made a big difference. We rarely have problems with them having hairballs these days. I'm so glad we found this food. Another plus is that our picky cat loves this food! She's a hard cat to shop for. July 21, 2012
Great for Hairballs I adopted my 13 year old cat Cleo from the pet store where I used to work when she was about a year old. She is an awesome self groomer and DETESTS being bathed. Needless to say then, she has hairball issues! Working in the pet store I have tried every cat food we carry over the years searching for a food that helps her pass the hairballs and we ALWAYS came back to Science Diet. Her coat just shines and her skin has never had an issue. This is a great food with a taste she loves and never tires of. I supplement the dry food with different flavors of Science Diet wet foods to make sure she gets enough water in her diet. Science Diet is a great company and they have a great cat food!

Miracle food... Our old tabby cat had an awful time with hairballs and throwing up daily. The vet said she was just prone to throwing up - nothing was wrong. We switched to Science Diet after trying just about everything else and not only does she love it, there's rarely any trouble with her keeping it down! We're thrilled that she's happy with the taste and no more mess to clean up! July 13, 2012
