Hill's Science Plan Feline Adult Oral Care Chicken Dry Cat Food

Dental health is one of the most overlooked aspects of cat care, yet it has a significant impact on overall wellbeing. Hill's Science Plan Oral Care takes a proactive approach with specially designed kibble that works like a toothbrush, mechanically scrubbing your cat's teeth to reduce plaque and tartar build-up with every bite.

The clinically proven kibble technology uses an interlocking fibre matrix that does not crumble on contact. Instead, the kibble maintains its shape as your cat bites down, gently cleaning the tooth surface before being chewed and swallowed. This mechanical action helps freshen breath and improve dental health as part of your cat's daily feeding routine.

Beyond the dental benefits, this is a complete, balanced food for adult cats. Chicken and turkey meal provides high-quality protein for lean muscle, vitamin E and omega-6 fatty acids support a healthy coat, and balanced minerals maintain vital organ function. It is available in 1.5kg and 7kg bags and works well alongside regular veterinary dental check-ups.

What sizes are available?

Hill's Science Plan Oral Care Chicken dry cat food comes in 1.5kg and 7kg bags.

How does the dental kibble work?

The kibble uses an interlocking fibre matrix that does not crumble on contact. As your cat bites down, the kibble maintains its shape and gently scrubs the tooth surface, reducing plaque and tartar build-up mechanically.

Does this replace brushing my cat's teeth?

This food helps reduce plaque and tartar as part of a daily dental care routine, but it is not a replacement for veterinary dental check-ups. Your vet can advise on whether additional dental care is needed for your cat.

What age is this food for?

Oral Care is designed for adult cats aged 1 to 6 years. For senior cats with dental concerns, consult your vet for the most appropriate Hill's formula.

Can I mix this with wet food?

You can, but for maximum dental benefit, feeding dry kibble only gives the best results. If you do mix with wet food, ensure the dry portion remains the majority of the meal so your cat still gets the dental cleaning action.

Will my cat notice the difference in kibble shape?

The kibble is slightly larger than standard dry food to encourage chewing rather than swallowing whole. Most cats adapt within a day or two.
