Summary

Hill’s Science Plan Hairball Indoor Adult Cat Food with Chicken is a complete dry food designed for adult cats aged 1-6 years living indoors.

The recipe features a chicken and turkey meal (23%), offering high-quality protein to maintain lean muscle mass.

Advanced Fiber Technology with cellulose and natural fibers reduces hairball formation by supporting efficient intestinal transit.

The formula’s low fat (7.8%) and calorie levels help less active indoor cats maintain an ideal body weight.

A balanced blend of omega-6 (2.37%) and omega-3 (0.17%) fatty acids promotes healthy skin and a shiny coat.

Enriched with essential vitamins and minerals, including vitamin E, beta-carotene, and taurine, it supports immunity, vision, and heart health.

 

Pros:

  • Hairball Management: Advanced Fiber Technology (7.5% crude fiber) effectively reduces hairball formation in indoor cats.
  • Low-Fat Content: At 7.8%, the fat level supports healthy weight management for less active cats.
  • Nutrient Enrichment: Includes 0.19% taurine for heart and vision health and high levels of vitamin E (802 IU/kg) and beta-carotene for immunity.
  • Skin and Coat Health: Omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids promote a shiny coat and maintain skin integrity.
  • Highly Digestible Proteins: Chicken and turkey meals ensure easy digestion while supporting muscle health.

 

Cons:

  • Moderate Protein Level: At 31.1%, the protein level may not be sufficient for highly active or muscular cats.
  • Low Omega-3 Content: With only 0.17% omega-3 fatty acids, it offers limited anti-inflammatory benefits compared to higher omega-3 formulas.
  • Grain Inclusion: Contains maize and brewers’ rice, which may not suit cats with grain sensitivities.
  • Calorie Density: While suitable for weight control, the calorie content (3144 kcal/kg) may not meet the energy needs of highly active cats.

    How the score is calculated?

    The actual calculation of the score is based on sophisticated and advanced algorithm that takes into account multiple parameters.

    To simplify the explanation, the calculation is based on three main criteria:

    (1) Amount of protein (more is better)

    (2) Amount of carbohydrates (less is better)

    (3) Quality and source of ingredients.

    Based on that 3 main criteria, 9 score calculation rules are used to compare the different foods.

    One major assumption is that the closer an ingredient is to the top of the ingredient list, the greater its relative weight and contribution to the food.

    In general, cat food is composed of protein, fats, carbohydrates, fibers, vitamins, and minerals.

    Protein is the most important component in a cat's diet, and cats primarily get their protein from animal meat.

    Fat is a primary source of energy and essential fatty acids.

    Carbohydrates are controversial in a cat's diet, as cats are obligate carnivores and typically consume very few carbohydrates.

    Fibers play an important role in digestion and food absorption, and vitamins and minerals are essential for different organism functions.

    Dry matter values are used to compare the amount of nutrients in different cat foods. This means that moisture is excluded from the equation to provide a more accurate comparison.

    Putting all of these and more into a formula results in a product score.

    The maximum score a cat food can receive is 100. Points are added or removed based on the score calculation rules.
