Directions for Use

  • Less Active Adult Cats: This formula is clinically formulated for adult cats aged 1 to 6 years that require fewer calories due to a less active lifestyle, neutered status, or an otherwise increased tendency toward excess weight gain.
  • Two Feeding Modes: This formula provides separate portion guidance for weight loss and weight management. Use the weight loss column to actively reduce body weight and the weight management column to maintain the cat's target weight once it has been achieved.
  • 7-Day Transition: A phased dietary transition over 7 days minimizes gastrointestinal disruption when introducing this formula to your cat.
  • Fresh Water: Continuous access to fresh water is essential to support healthy hydration and urinary tract function in adult cats throughout the day.
  • Adjust Portions: Daily feeding amounts must be regularly reassessed and adjusted to consistently maintain the cat's optimal body weight throughout the weight management program.
  • Vet Checkups: Regular veterinary checkups are recommended to monitor the cat's weight progress and reassess daily portions as nutritional needs evolve with age.

Disclaimer: This dosage information is provided by the manufacturer. Always consult your veterinarian before administering or adjusting any supplement for your pet.

Additional Information

Precautions

  • Age Restriction: This diet is clinically formulated for adult cats aged 1 to 6 years only and is not appropriate for kittens or cats aged 7 and above.

Storage Information

  • Seal After Use: The bag should be sealed tightly after each use to preserve freshness and nutritional integrity between feedings.
  • Packaging Safety: The packaging must be kept out of reach of pets and children at all times to prevent any risk of accidental ingestion.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What type of cats is Hill's Science Diet Adult Light Chicken Recipe dry food designed for?

Ans: This formula is designed for adult cats aged 1 to 6 years that require fewer calories, specifically those that are less active, neutered, or otherwise prone to excess weight gain. It provides complete and balanced nutrition validated by AAFCO feeding tests while delivering a reduced-calorie profile to support healthy weight management.

Q2: What is ActivBiome+ Multi-Benefit, and what does it do in this formula?

Ans: ActivBiome+ Multi-Benefit is a special blend of prebiotic fibers and antioxidants incorporated into this formula to support digestion, the immune system, and organ health in adult cats. It is a manufacturer-developed technology specific to this formula and is not a generic ingredient claim.

Q3: How does L-Carnitine support weight management in this formula?

Ans: L-Carnitine is incorporated alongside low calories in this formula to actively support ideal body weight in adult cats. This is a manufacturer-confirmed benefit for this specific formula and is not inferred from L-Carnitine's general properties alone.

Q4: How many calories does this formula provide per cup?

Ans: This formula provides 288 kcal per cup and 3,171 kcal per kg. One standard 8 fl oz measuring cup of this product weighs 3.2 oz. These figures are confirmed by the manufacturer and should be used as the basis for calculating total daily caloric intake when combining this formula with wet food.

Q5: How much should a 10 lb adult cat receive daily for weight loss versus weight management?

Ans: For an adult cat with an ideal weight of 10 lbs (4.5 kg), the manufacturer recommends 5/8 cup (55 g) per day for active weight loss and 3/4 cup (70 g) per day for weight maintenance once the target body weight has been achieved. These amounts are a starting point only and should be adjusted based on the individual cat's progress with veterinary guidance.

Q6: Does this formula maintain muscle mass during weight loss?

Ans: Yes, high-quality protein is incorporated into this formula to support the building and maintenance of lean muscle mass in adult cats during a calorie-reduced feeding program. This ensures that weight loss is supported without compromising the cat's muscle condition.

Q7: Is this formula appropriate for cats aged 7 and older?

Ans: This formula is clinically formulated for adult cats aged 1 to 6 years only. Cats aged 7 and above have distinct nutritional and metabolic requirements that are best addressed by a formula specifically calibrated for their life stage, as recommended by a veterinarian.

Q8: How should I transition my cat to this formula?

Ans: A phased dietary transition over 7 days is recommended, mixing increasing amounts of this new food with decreasing amounts of the cat's previous food. This allows the digestive system to adjust gradually and minimizes the risk of gastrointestinal disruption during the changeover period.

1. Shipping Origin and Fulfillment

Orders are dispatched from our U.S.-based fulfillment center. We deliver to eligible addresses within the United States and to eligible international destinations shown at checkout.

If a destination, shipping service, or product is not eligible for delivery, checkout will not offer that shipping option.

2. Order Processing Time

Orders are generally processed within 1–5 business days before shipment. Processing time is separate from carrier transit time.

Our order cut-off time is 6:00 PM Pacific Time (PT). Orders placed after the cut-off time, on weekends, or on applicable holidays begin processing on the next business day.

Processing may include order verification and preparation for shipment.

3. U.S. Shipping Methods, Costs, and Transit Times

For eligible U.S. addresses, our current shipping options are:

  • Priority Shipping: $5.99 — estimated carrier transit time of 1–2 business days after shipment.
  • Standard Shipping: $2.99 — estimated carrier transit time of 3–6 business days after shipment.

Total estimated delivery time includes both the 1–5 business day processing period and the applicable carrier transit time. The shipping service, cost, and delivery estimate available for your order are shown at checkout before payment.

4. International Shipping

We ship to eligible international destinations. Available international shipping services, shipping charges, and estimated delivery times vary by destination and are displayed at checkout.

For eligible international orders, applicable import duties and taxes are calculated and collected at checkout where required. When these charges apply, the order is shipped on a duties-and-taxes-paid basis so that the same import charges should not be collected again at delivery.

International delivery estimates may be affected by carrier operations, customs processing, local holidays, weather, or other events outside normal transit conditions.

5. Tracking

When tracking is available, you will receive shipment confirmation with tracking information after the order has shipped. Please allow up to 48 hours for tracking information to become active after the carrier receives the shipment.

6. Address Accuracy and Changes

Please review your shipping address carefully before submitting an order. If you notice an address error, contact us as soon as possible. We will try to help before shipment, but an address change cannot be guaranteed once fulfillment or carrier processing has begun.

Additional carrier or re-delivery charges resulting from an incorrect or incomplete address may be the customer's responsibility where permitted by law.

7. Delayed or Lost Shipments

If your shipment has not arrived within the estimated delivery timeframe, please contact us. We will review the tracking information, work with the carrier when necessary, and assist with an appropriate resolution based on the circumstances.

Delivery estimates are not guarantees and may be affected by carrier delays, weather, public holidays, customs processing, or other transportation disruptions.

8. Damaged, Defective, or Incorrect Deliveries

If an item arrives damaged, defective, or incorrect, contact us within 7 calendar days after confirmed delivery. Please include your order number and clear photos of the item, packaging, and shipping label when relevant.

Approved cases are handled under our Return & Refund Policy, including return-shipping assistance when the issue is our responsibility.

  • Unused, unwashed, and in its original condition.
  • Returned with the original packaging, tags, accessories, manuals, and other included components, when applicable.
  • Not specifically identified as final sale or non-returnable before purchase.

Products that show use, alteration, avoidable damage, missing components, or other conditions outside the eligibility requirements may be ineligible for a refund.

3. Product-Specific Non-Returnable Items

Some products may be non-returnable for hygiene, safety, customization, final-sale, or other product-specific reasons. Any such restriction will be disclosed on the product page or before purchase when applicable.

For eligible mail returns, a prepaid return label is included in the package.

For a standard return made for customer-choice reasons, the actual carrier postage charged for use of the prepaid return label will be deducted from the approved refund. We do not charge a separate restocking fee.

If the return is required because the item arrived damaged, defective, or incorrect and the claim is approved, we cover the return-label cost.

If you choose not to use the provided label when an alternative return method is authorized, use a trackable shipping service and keep your shipping receipt until the return is completed.

Original outbound shipping charges are non-refundable for standard customer-choice returns, except where required by law. If the return results from an approved damaged, defective, or incorrect item, applicable shipping charges will be handled as part of the resolution.

8. Refund Review and Processing

After the returned item is received, we inspect it and notify you whether the refund is approved.

If approved, the refund is issued to the original payment method. We generally process an approved refund within 1–3 business days. After the refund is issued, your bank or card provider may require an additional 5–10 business days to post the funds to your account.
