Collection: Hill's Welcome Home Packs

A Hill's Welcome Home Pack is a ready-made starter kit for a new puppy or kitten. Each printed carry box combines Hill's Science Plan dry and wet food with comfort and play gifts, a branded measuring cup, and a coupon card carrying two 25% off vouchers worth up to R1000 in future savings. There are four packs: Kitten, Puppy Small & Mini, Puppy Medium and Puppy Large Breed.

Every pack contains Hill's Science Plan puppy or kitten dry food, Hill's Science Plan wet food, a soft branded fleece cuddle blanket, a branded measuring cup, and a coupon card with two 25% off vouchers. The puppy packs add a licking mat, and the Kitten pack includes a Krazy Kicker toy instead.

Choose by species first, then by your puppy's expected adult size. The Kitten pack suits any kitten. For puppies, pick Small & Mini for breeds like Chihuahuas, Yorkshire Terriers, Pugs, Jack Russells and Dachshunds; Medium for Beagles, Cocker Spaniels, Boxers, Schnauzers and Poodles; and Large Breed for Labradors, German Shepherds, Golden Retrievers, Rottweilers and Great Danes.

The Kitten pack and the Puppy Small & Mini pack are R300 each, the Puppy Medium pack is R350, and the Puppy Large Breed pack is R550. Each kit is worth considerably more than its price - between R500 and R830 depending on the pack - and that is before you use the two 25% off vouchers inside.

Each pack includes a coupon card printed with a unique code. Scan the QR code on the card, or save 061 910 1703 as a contact and start a WhatsApp chat, then select "Welcome Kit" from the menu and enter your code. Your first 25% off discount code is sent straight away and the second follows via WhatsApp four weeks later. Together they are worth up to R1000 in savings on Hill's puppy and kitten food. T's & C's apply.

Each discount code is redeemable for three months from the date it is issued, at participating Hill's stockists. Because the second code only arrives four weeks after the first, the savings stretch across your puppy or kitten's first few months at home. Full terms are available at www.WelcomeKitTerms.co.za.

Yes. Each pack arrives in a printed box with a carry handle, so it needs no extra wrapping and presents beautifully as it is. They are a popular gift for friends and family who have just adopted, and are also used by breeders, shelters and vets as a hand-over gift when a puppy or kitten goes to its new home.

Hill's Science Plan is the number one vet-recommended pet food brand, developed by veterinarians and nutritionists with more than 80 years of research behind it. The puppy and kitten formulas include DHA for brain and eye development, high-quality protein for growing muscle, balanced calcium and phosphorus for healthy bones and teeth, and clinically proven antioxidants to support a developing immune system.

The Kitten and Puppy Small & Mini packs each contain 2 x 300g of dry food, the Puppy Medium pack contains an 800g bag, and the Puppy Large Breed pack contains a 2.5kg bag. Wet food is included on top of that: three portions in the Kitten pack, and a mousse plus a can in the puppy packs. It is enough to get started and to see how your pet takes to the food before you buy a larger bag.

You can buy Hill's Welcome Home Packs online at Canine & Co, with fast nationwide delivery and free delivery on orders over R550. All four packs - Kitten, Puppy Small & Mini, Puppy Medium and Puppy Large Breed - are stocked and ready to ship anywhere in South Africa.
