Hill’s Science Plan Sterilised Cat Adult Chicken is a dry cat food formulated for sterilized adult cats aged 1 to 6 years.

The primary ingredient is a combination of chicken and turkey meal, with chicken constituting 15% and total poultry accounting for 23% of the composition.

The recipe includes maize and maize gluten meal to provide energy and aid digestion.

Enriched with L-carnitine, it supports lean muscle maintenance and activity levels.

Controlled mineral levels promote urinary health, while added fish oil supplies essential fatty acids for skin and coat health.

Pros:

• Moderate Protein Content: 31.9% crude protein, primarily sourced from poultry, supports muscle maintenance in adult cats.
• Low Fat Levels: With 9.9% crude fat, it helps manage weight, which is particularly beneficial for sterilized cats prone to weight gain.
• Urinary Health Support: Controlled levels of minerals, including calcium (0.83%) and phosphorus (0.69%), aid in maintaining a healthy urinary system.
• Added L-Carnitine: Includes 546 mg/kg of L-carnitine, clinically proven to help cats stay lean and active.
• Essential Vitamins and Antioxidants: Fortified with vitamins A (7,075 IU/kg), D3 (638 IU/kg), and E (500 mg/kg), supporting overall health and immune function.

Cons:

• Primary Ingredient is Maize: The first ingredient is maize, which may not align with the obligate carnivore nature of cats that thrive on animal-based proteins.
• Moderate Ash Content: Crude ash is at 5.5%; while it provides essential minerals, excessive amounts might burden the kidneys over time.
• Potential Allergen Presence: Contains maize gluten meal, which could be an allergen for some sensitive cats.
