Disclaimer: Product information and usage guidelines are provided by the manufacturer. Always use products as directed on the label and consult your veterinarian before use if you have any concerns regarding your pet's health.

Directions for Use

  • Adjust for Optimal Weight: Fine-tune daily portions as needed to help the kitten stay at a healthy and comfortable body weight throughout each growth stage.
  • Transition Gradually: Mix increasing amounts of new food with decreasing amounts of old food each day over a full 7-day period to prevent digestive discomfort.
  • Fresh Water Always: Keep fresh drinking water available to the kitten at all times throughout the day, alongside every meal.
  • Review with Vet: A kitten's nutritional needs change at each growth stage, so check in with a vet at every routine visit to keep portions accurate.

Additional Information

Precautions

  • For Indoor Kittens and Pregnant Cats: This formula is made for kittens with an indoor lifestyle from weaning through one year and for pregnant or nursing cats.
  • Not for Long-Term Adult Feeding: Long-term feeding to adult cats is not recommended unless a vet confirms higher than normal energy requirements.
  • Update Portions as Kitten Grows: Daily amounts differ at each age bracket, so adjusting portions at every developmental stage keeps feeding accurate and appropriate.

Possible Side Effects

  • Digestive Sensitivity: Switching to a new food too quickly may cause temporary digestive discomfort in some growing kittens.

Storage Information

  • Store in Original Bag: Keep the food in its original bag after opening, as the bag provides a fat barrier that helps retain the best flavor and freshness.
  • Cool and Dry Environment: To preserve vitamin quality and prevent fat oxidation and rancidity, store the bag in a cool, dry place below 100°F (38°C).
  • Keep Packaging Away: Store the bag and all packaging safely out of reach of both pets and children at all times to prevent potential suffocation hazards.

Shipping & Return

We offer ground, express, and priority delivery; see our shipping policy for details.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What makes this kitten indoor formula different from the standard kitten chicken recipe?

Ans: The Kitten Indoor formula is designed specifically for kittens living an indoor lifestyle. While both share a similar ActivBiome+ ingredient base, the indoor version has a slightly lower fat content at 19.2% dry matter compared to 22.9% in the standard kitten formula, reflecting the typically lower energy demands of kittens that spend their time primarily indoors.

Q2: Does this indoor kitten dry food contain ActivBiome+, and what does it do?

Ans: Yes, this formula contains ActivBiome+ Multi-Benefit, Hill's proprietary blend of prebiotic fibers and antioxidants that support digestion, immune system development, and organ health at the same time. For indoor kittens with less environmental stimulation, building a strong digestive and immune foundation early through daily feeding is particularly important.

Q3: Is this kitten indoor dry food suitable for a pregnant cat?

Ans: Yes, this formula is verified by AAFCO feeding tests for both growing kittens and gestating or lactating adult female cats. Pregnant cats have elevated nutritional needs that align closely with those of growing kittens, making this a practical choice for an indoor pregnant cat during both pregnancy and the nursing period that follows.

Q4: How does this kitten indoor food support healthy brain development?

Ans: DHA from added fish oil supports healthy brain and eye development as kittens grow through their first year. As an omega-3 fatty acid, DHA plays a key role in neural tissue and retinal development. Indoor kittens get all their essential nutrients from their food, making the reliable inclusion of DHA through fish oil a meaningful and important part of this formula.

Q5: What is the caloric content of this kitten indoor dry food per cup?

Ans: At 3903 kcal/kg and 531 kcal per cup, with one 8-oz cup weighing 4.8 oz, this formula is slightly lower in calories than the standard kitten chicken recipe at 555 kcal per cup. This reflects the adjusted energy profile suited to indoor kittens who tend to be less active in their daily routine throughout the first year.

Q6: When should I transition my indoor kitten from this formula to a Hill's adult indoor food?

Ans: This formula is recommended from weaning until one year of age. Once the kitten reaches approximately one year old, transitioning to Hill's Science Diet Adult Indoor dry food is the natural next step, as that formula is specifically calibrated for the energy and nutritional needs of adult cats continuing an indoor lifestyle beyond their first birthday.

Q7: Can I mix this indoor kitten dry food with Hill's kitten wet food?

Ans: Yes, adding Hill's Science Diet kitten wet food alongside this kibble is a great way to introduce texture variety and increase daily moisture intake, particularly for indoor kittens that tend to drink less water throughout the day. Just adjust the portions of each when mixing to keep total daily calories within the right range for your kitten's weight and age bracket.

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

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.

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.

  • 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.

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.

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.

7. Original Shipping Charges

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.
