Science Plan - Hairball & Perfect Coat Adult Dry Cat Food with Chicken, Flavour with Chicken
Summary
Hill’s Science Plan Hairball & Perfect Coat Adult Dry Cat Food with Chicken is a complete adult formula designed to reduce hairball formation while promoting healthy skin and a shiny coat.
The first ingredient is Chicken and Turkey Meal (chicken 17%; total poultry 26%), supplying the primary animal protein to support lean muscle, with an overall crude protein level of 30.8%.
Advanced Fibre Technology, together with functional fiber sources like cellulose and pea bran meal, helps move ingested hair through the digestive tract to reduce hairball buildup.
A crude fiber level of 7.7% supports this hairball management approach and contributes to regular bowel movements.
Omega-6 (3.51%) and omega-3 (0.55%) fatty acids—supported by fish oil and vegetable oil—work with vitamin E (844 IU/kg) to nourish the skin barrier and coat quality.
Taurine at 0.21% is included to support normal heart function and vision, essential for all adult cats.
The mineral profile, including calcium (0.73%), phosphorus (0.62%), magnesium (0.062%), sodium (0.3%), and potassium (0.72%), helps maintain normal muscle function and skeletal health.
Antioxidant support comes from vitamin C (100 ppm), vitamin A (8366 IU/kg), vitamin D3 (712 IU/kg), vitamin E (844 IU/kg), and beta-carotene (2.63 ppm), which help protect cells from oxidative stress.
With 18.5% fat and a metabolizable energy of 3667 kcal/kg, the formula provides concentrated energy for adult maintenance when fed according to portion guidelines.
Carbohydrates at 30.1% (NFE), provided by maize, broken rice, and peas, serve as an additional energy source for daily activity.

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.
