Highly recommended.
Date: February 4, 2007
"I'm really glad I discovered this food. My two cats had been having trouble with hairballs and constipation. Their vet recommended that we stop feeding them dry food and just give them canned food, mixed with a large spoonfull of canned pumpkin. It has made a remarkable difference and improvement in our lives. After two weeks of this new diet, their coats feel and look softer and glossier, they seem happier and more spunky, and we haven't had any messes on the carpet at all. We used to get them almost every day. I'm really happy with this Science Diet product."

Both cats love it!
Date: April 5, 2006
"I have two cats, one who eats everything he is offered; the other a finicky eater. Hairballs have been a problem for Shady and I have used petromalt in the past. I discovered the canned product just browing through canned food to use as a supplement to dry and seafood caught my eye. Both cats really love this product and our longhaired fussy girl begs for her allotment. Her hairballs have really diminished. What I like is the food smell is quite appealing."

Works great, "new " has less in can
Date: December 25, 2005
"Eight years ago, a long-haired stray cat decided to move into my home. I'm sure ya'll know how they do that... Anyway, at her first vet visit, I was advised to feed her Laxatone - essentially a petroleum gel - every day for hairballs or "You'll regret it."
That didn't seem nutritionally sound to me, since the gel can prevent absorption of nutrients, so I looked about for other ways to control or minimize her voluminous fur balls. I tried sprinkling psyllium powder onto her food, as a friend suggested, but that didn't work for us. Then I discovered Hill's Science Diet Hairball Control Formula Kibble. She's thrived on the kibble for the past 7 years, with at most one or two hairball incidents per year. In her case, the fur passed through harmlessly and ended up in the litter box.
This summer her food consumption dropped, and what little she ate often came right back up still in its neat little pyramid shape. She lost weight she couldn't afford to lose, being pretty skinny to start with. After thyroid and kidney tests found nothing alarming, my vet said she was probably just experiencing digestion problems due to aging. So I switched to the canned version of Hairball Control Formula, which is easier to digest.
Her appetite is back (in retrospect, I probably should have tried switching to canned first before coughing up $$$ for tests!) and she seems to be thriving once more. It comes in two flavors, chicken and seafood, and she gobbles down both equally. But the canned version doesn't seem as effective as the dry. She now battles with a hairball about once a month. Which is more than she used to, but still FAR less than one might expect from a cat with long fur. So, we're happy.
But I did want to call attention to the fact that Hill's recently changed the formula for the canned food, and that the feeding recommendation per 10 lbs. has increased from 1 1/4 - 1 3/4 cans to 1 1/3 - 2 cans. The moisture has increased from 76% to 78%...which is obvious because it's quite soupy. The difference in feeding recommendations is equivalent to having shrunk the can by nearly 1/2 an ounce. I'm concerned that if people don't carefully read the new label, they'll just keep feeding according to the old recommendations and won't realize their cat is possibly undernourished. So I'm using this forum to let people know.
Here is the Guaranteed Analysis per can for the old and new formula as found on the cans:
OLD: Crude Protein Min. 8%; Crude Fat Min. 4.8%; Crude Fiber Max 2.7%; Moisture Max 76%; Ash Max. 2.2%; Calcium Min 0.22%; Phosphorus Min. .11%; Magnesium Max. 0.023%; Taurine Min. 0.1%
*FEEDING RECOMMENDATION: Feed 1 1/4 - 1 3/4 cans daily for a 10 lb. cat. Adjust as needed
NEW IMPROVED: Crude Protein Min. 7.5%; Crude Fat Min. 4.0%; Crude Fiber Max. 3.0%; Moisture Max. 78%; Ash Max 2.0%; Calcium Min. 0.15%; Phosphorus Min 0.1%; Magnesium Max 0.02%; Taurine Min. 0.1%.
*FEEDING RECOMMENDATION: Feed 1 1/3 - 2 cans daily for a 10 lb. cat. Adjust as needed"
