High Protein Dry Cat Food for Adult Cats

Product Description

Hill's Science Diet Adult Chicken and Brown Rice dry cat food takes a clean approach for adult cats aged 1 to 6, cutting out corn, wheat, and soy from the formula. Yellow peas, cracked pearled barley, egg product, and flaxseed form the backbone of its protein and nutrient content. Taurine plays a direct role in supporting heart and kidney health, while Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids keep skin healthy and the coat nourished from the inside out.

Benefits

No Corn, Wheat, or Soy: The formula is specifically developed to meet the energy needs of adult cats in their prime years, with no corn, wheat, or soy.
Taurine for Heart and Kidney Health: Essential taurine and balanced minerals are included to support heart health, bladder function, and kidney function in adult cats.
Yellow Peas as Protein: Yellow peas are included as a plant-based protein source, replacing soy and contributing to the formula's overall protein profile without common allergens.
Flaxseed for Omega-3 Support: Flaxseed provides a plant-based source of Omega-3 fatty acids to complement fish oil in supporting skin and coat health in adult cats.
Skin and Coat Support: A combination of Vitamin E, Omega-3, and Omega-6 fatty acids works to keep skin healthy and fur in good condition in adult cats.
Natural Fruit and Vegetable: This formula includes apples, cranberries, carrots, and broccoli as natural sources of antioxidants and phytonutrients not found in the standard Adult Chicken Recipe.
High-Quality Lean Muscle Protein: High-quality protein is included to help adult cats build and maintain lean muscle throughout their prime years.

Ensure Fresh Water Access: Fresh water must remain available to the cat at all times throughout the day.
Reassess Needs: A cat's nutritional requirements may change over time; regular veterinary checkups are recommended to evaluate dietary adjustments as needed.
Veterinary Consultation: Pet owners are encouraged to work with their veterinarian to determine appropriate daily feeding amounts and monitor their cat's weight and condition.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Is Hill's Science Diet Adult Chicken and Brown Rice cat food good for cats with food sensitivities?

Ans: This formula is specially developed without corn, wheat, or soy, making it suitable for adult cats whose owners prefer to avoid these common ingredients. However, cats with diagnosed food allergies should be evaluated by a veterinarian to confirm the appropriate dietary approach.

Q2: What replaces corn, wheat, and soy in this formula?

Ans: This formula draws on yellow peas and cracked pearled barley for carbohydrates and protein, egg product and chicken meal for high-quality protein, and flaxseed alongside fish oil for fatty acid support, all without a trace of corn, wheat, or soy.

Q3: Does this formula still support heart and kidney health in cats?

Ans: Yes, essential taurine and balanced minerals are included to support heart health, bladder function, and kidney function in adult cats, even without corn, wheat, or soy. Pet owners with cats that have specific organ health concerns should consult their veterinarian.

Q4: What fruits and vegetables are in this cat food formula?

Ans: This formula includes apples, cranberries, carrots, and broccoli as natural sources of antioxidants and phytonutrients. These ingredients are unique to this No Corn, Wheat, Soy variant and are not present in the standard Hill's Science Diet Adult Chicken Recipe dry cat food.

Q5: Is this formula completely grain-free?

Ans: This formula is free from corn, wheat, and soy but is not entirely grain-free. It contains cracked pearled barley, brewers rice, and brown rice. Cats with broader grain sensitivities beyond corn, wheat, and soy should be evaluated by a veterinarian before use.

Q6: How does this differ from the standard Hill's Science Diet Adult Chicken Recipe dry cat food?

Ans: The standard Adult Chicken Recipe contains whole grain wheat, whole grain corn, soybean meal, and FOS with ActivBiome+ Multi-Benefit. This formula excludes all three and instead uses yellow peas, egg product, flaxseed, and natural fruit and vegetable ingredients as functional replacements.

Q7: Can I feed this to my pregnant cat?

Ans: This formula is not recommended for pregnant or nursing cats. During pregnancy or nursing, cats should be switched to Hill's Science Diet Kitten, Kitten Indoor, or Kitten No Corn, Wheat, Soy dry cat food to meet the specific nutritional demands of those life stages.

Q8: How much should I feed my 10 lb adult cat per day?

Ans: For a cat weighing 10 lbs (4.5 kg), roughly 1/2 cup (65 g) per day is a good place to start. From there, amounts should be adjusted based on body condition, activity level, and any additional food in the diet. A quick check with a veterinarian helps keep the feeding plan on track.

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.

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.
