Hill's Science Plan Feline Adult Sensitive Stomach & Skin Chicken Dry Cat Food

Some cats need extra care when it comes to digestion and skin health. Whether your cat experiences occasional digestive upset, loose stools, or dull, flaky skin, Hill's Science Plan Sensitive Stomach & Skin is formulated to address these concerns with gentle, targeted cat food that does not compromise on taste or completeness.

The recipe uses chicken and turkey meal for high-quality, easily digestible protein, paired with broken rice and maize for gentle carbohydrate sources. Dried beet pulp and fructo-oligosaccharides provide gentle fibre to support consistent stool quality, while vitamin E and omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids nourish the skin from the inside out, promoting a healthier coat and reducing flakiness and irritation.

This food also includes taurine for heart health and balanced minerals for kidney and bladder support, so your cat gets complete nutrition while their specific sensitivities are being addressed. It is available in 1.5kg, 3kg, and 7kg bags and can be fed alongside Hill's sensitive wet food formulas for a mixed-feeding approach.

What sizes are available?

Hill's Science Plan Sensitive Stomach & Skin Chicken dry cat food comes in 1.5kg, 3kg, and 7kg bags.

How do I know if my cat needs sensitive food?

Common signs include frequent vomiting, loose stools, excessive gas, dull or flaky coat, itchy skin, or hair loss. If your cat regularly experiences any of these, a sensitive formula may help. Always consult your vet to rule out underlying conditions.

How quickly will I see improvements?

Many owners notice improvements in stool quality within the first week. Skin and coat improvements typically take 4 to 6 weeks as the omega fatty acids build up in your cat's system.

Is this suitable for cats with food allergies?

This food is designed for sensitivities rather than confirmed allergies. If your cat has been diagnosed with a specific food allergy, consult your vet about Hill's Prescription Diet options, which offer more targeted elimination formulas.

Can I mix this with wet food?

Yes. Mixing with a sensitive wet formula adds hydration and variety while maintaining the digestive benefits. Adjust the dry food portion to account for the additional wet food calories.

What age is this food for?

This formula is designed for adult cats aged 1 to 6 years with digestive or skin sensitivities. For senior cats with similar concerns, consult your vet for the most appropriate Hill's formula.
