Really Helps with Bad Breath and Dental HealthâMy Cats Love It!
I got this food because I wanted to be more mindful of my catsâ dental health, and Iâm so glad I gave it a try. It actually helps reduce plaque and freshens their breathâwhich I noticed after just a little while of using it! Their teeth look cleaner, and I no longer get that strong âcat breathâ smell when they come in for cuddles.The kibble pieces are a bit larger than regular cat food, which I think helps them chew more and keeps them fuller a little longer. I also like that this brand uses quality ingredients, and my cats genuinely seem to enjoy it. Theyâve taken to it right away, especially compared to other dental-specific foods weâve tried.I do wish it was a little more budget-friendlyâIâd give it to them exclusively if I couldâbut for now I alternate it with other foods. Even with switching it up, Iâve still seen a difference in their dental health.If youâre looking for something that actually supports your catâs teeth and that theyâll actually eat, I highly recommend giving this a shot!

My kitty couldnât 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. Itâs really bad when your catâs 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 ð«¢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 couldnât 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 donât know why one of my vets did not recommend this food, especially for a cat who couldnât be anesthetized to have his teeth cleaned. I may have to mention that at the next vet visit.

Has saved my 14.5 year old catâs oral health!
Health:This cat food has helped keep my catâs teeth so clean! For YEARS! She is 14 and has teeth of a young cat still because of this cat food. It is great at keeping the tartar under control and her breath never smells. She still has every single tooth at 14.5 years old. Chewability:While the pieces are big, they are easy for my house cat to eat. She is 8lbs so not very big herself and can easily eat this food.Â

Works, works, works!
Would give this 6 stars if I could. My cats breath really started to stink. Checked her teeth and found a lot of tartar buildup. Checked into dental cleanings and realized I was in for hundreds of dollars. Decided to try this first. After 3 weeks her breath is good and 90% of her tartar is gone. The food is designed to force the cat to chew. Big food pebbles that scrape against the teeth. The best part is she actually likes the food. No transition needed. A great product that I highly recommend.

Will continue to purchase
I’m glad I read reviews before purchasing, the kibble pieces in this food are MUCH larger than a regular kibble. This forces the cat to bite into each piece allowing the food to help clean their teeth.My cat was not mine originally. The person I got her from fed her Meow Mix for the first 3 years of her life. It took me a long time to get her off of Meow Mix and used to eating something slightly healthier – we moved to Purina Indoor Advantage. She now LOVES Purina and was very mad when I recently introduced her to Hills Oral Care. I don’t know if it’s the flavor or the size of the pieces she doesn’t enjoy, but it’s not her favorite food in the world. She does eat it – begrudgingly. This actually works in my advantage as she’s slightly overweight and is on a diet. With her not loving this food, she eats less – putting herself on the diet and keeping her from meowing at me for more food!I will continue to buy this for the sake of her teeth and health, but I feed her a mixture of foods to keep her happy as well.

Vet recommended, cat loved!
Vet recommended this brand and specific recipe for plaque build up on my cats teeth, and it had made a huge improvement! Not to mention they also actually really like eating it compared to other pellet food, they love it 🙂

BIG kibble
I keep reordering this. This is great for both our cats, who are on a mostly wet diet but prefer dry. One is overweight (11 years). We can count out individual kibbles for him because they are so big, and he seems more satisfied with it than other dry food we’ve had to measure out. Both cats love it.

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.

Been using this food for years and it has helped greatly with oral care because of the size of the bites. Very convenient to have it come to my door at a price comparable to my pet store.

Chegou rápido e bem embalado, o único ponto negativo é o tamanho dos grãos de ração, são bem grandes e não é todo gato que consegue comer
