Hills Science Plan Adult Sterilised Cat Food Chicken Flavour 3kg

Hills Science Plan Adult Sterilised Cat Food Chicken Flavour is a complete dry cat food made for sterilised adult cats, supplied in a 3 kg bag. It targets the two issues that most often follow sterilisation, weight gain and urinary health, in one chicken-flavoured recipe. It suits cat owners who want a sterilised cat food with weight management support, from young adulthood through the active adult years.

Why Sterilised Cats Need a Tailored Diet

After sterilisation, a cat's appetite tends to increase while its energy needs decrease, so weight gain is a common concern. Sterilised cats are also over three times more likely to develop urinary problems. This recipe is formulated to address both concerns in a single, complete and balanced food, so your cat gets the nutrition it needs without a second diet or supplement.

Key Benefits

• Weight management formula: a low fat level plus L-carnitine helps burn fat and maintain lean muscle mass in cats prone to weight gain.
• Urinary health support: controlled mineral levels support urinary tract health, a common concern in sterilised cats.
• High-quality protein: chicken protein provides the amino acids for strong, lean muscles without excess calories.
• Immune support: clinically proven antioxidants help support a healthy immune system.
• ActivBiome+ Multi-Benefit Technology: the recipe is upgraded with a prebiotic blend of oat bran and fructo-oligosaccharides (0.6%) that supports healthy digestion, a strong immune system and vital organ health.
• Complete nutrition: provides the vitamins, minerals and nutrients a sterilised cat needs for overall health and wellbeing.

Suitable For

• Sterilised adult cats, from young adulthood right through the active adult years.
• Cats that have become hungrier and less active since sterilisation.
• Owners looking for a chicken-flavoured dry food that supports both weight control and urinary health.
