My kitty couldn’t have his teeth cleaned
My cat is not able to have his teeth cleaned because his liver counts were off a little bit. He is 13, and he absolutely adores this food. His breath is already so much better after feeding it for about five days. I had been feeding only canned food, which I feel is healthier for a cat than dry food, because they get most of their moisture from the food they eat. He seems to be drinking quite a bit of water, so I feel OK about feeding this to him currently. I may also intersperse with some canned food meals. It’s really bad when your cat‘s teeth collect tartar like my cat does. My previous cat baby collected no tartar on his teeth, except a little tiny bit toward the gumline. He never had to have his teeth cleaned. But my current cat baby collects tartar like crazy! I am so thankful for this food because now I feel that his teeth and gums are going to be much healthier. Also, I can let him sleep next to me now, without smelling his terrible breath 🫢Update December 10, 2023Success!! I just checked my cats teeth, which he hates and generally will not let me do, I had to put on Medi gloves to do it, but I looked at his molars, and I do not see a trace of accumulated tartar.I am over the moon happy because not only is it saving me about $700 in teeth cleaning, yes, that is what my cat vet charges, and the Discount vet charges about $400 plus the blood work, but I do not have to have my cat anesthetized, which he probably couldn’t do anyway because of his liver counts.This food is really the answer to fresh smelling breath for my cat. When My cat, Pasha, licks my hand, I smell absolutely no bad smells in his saliva, and when he lies next to me in bed at night, there is no bad breath smell. I would say it has taken about six months for his teeth to completely clean up. I think I started feeding him this food in about July 2023. I still feed him premium, canned cat food morning and evening, but he likes to munch on this dry food in between so it cleans the canned cat food from his teeth, as well as the accumulated tartar. I can tell that he feels better too. I believe his stinky mouth was really bothering him. I still don’t know why one of my vets did not recommend this food, especially for a cat who couldn’t be anesthetized to have his teeth cleaned. I may have to mention that at the next vet visit.

Expensive, but seems to work as advertised.
I bought this when my older, rescue cat was having some dental issues. Antibiotics resolved the inflammation that made it hard for him to eat, but the vet noted a lot of plaque build up. I decided to try this food because I didn’t want to go through the expense of having the cat’s teeth professionally cleaned or the risk of anesthia. My cat loves the food and by the end of the bag, his teeth appeared significantly cleaner. I decided to continue to use the food, but given the expense, now I mix it, half and half with less expensive kibble.

Our Vet Recomended this, but it doesn’t feed well in our automatic cat feeders
My 2 cats like this food, but it is so big, that it occasionally gets jammed in the auto feeders. Not really the fault of the cat food, but it is what it is. We will be switching to some smaller-sized kibble like Open Farm, Farmina, or Merrick Purrfect Bistro. There is also something called Whole Paws grain-free cat food that is carried by Whole Foods that we are going to try.

I bought it because normally cats love the taste of any Hill’s product. My cats tried to eat it and couldn’t.Even starving street dogs refused to eat it.I think it was stale, expired product that was lying in the Seller’s store for many months. There is mot date of import or date of manufacture given anywhere on the packaging.I just lost Rs. 1447 on this.

Buy this all the time for my cat as best price and her teeth are beautiful and white.
