Product Description

Hill's Science Diet Senior 7+ Canned Cat Food in Savory Chicken Entrée delivers precisely balanced nutrition in a soft, smooth minced texture that mature cats find easy to eat and genuinely enjoyable at every mealtime.

Benefits

• Soft, Smooth Chicken Texture: Finely minced real chicken in a smooth, easy-to-eat format makes this entrée ideal for mature cats who prefer or require a softer texture at mealtime.

How to Use

Directions for Use

• Adjust for Optimal Weight: Adjust daily amounts as needed to help the senior cat maintain a healthy body weight, and consult a vet if the correct daily amount is unclear.
• Transition Over 7 Days: Take the full week to gradually blend more of the new food with less of the old to keep the transition smooth and comfortable.
• Fresh Water Always: Keep fresh drinking water accessible to the cat at all times throughout the day alongside every served meal.
  
  
• Review With Vet at Every Checkup: A senior cat's nutritional needs can shift with continued aging, so discussing daily amounts with a vet at every routine visit keeps the plan current and appropriate.

Additional Information

Precautions

• For Adult Cats 7 Years and Older Only: This formula is recommended for adult cats 7 years of age and older. It is not appropriate for kittens or cats at other life stages.
• Count All Daily Food: Treats and supplementary foods served alongside these cans should be factored into the total daily calorie intake to avoid unintentional overfeeding in senior cats.
• Not for Kittens or Pregnant Cats: Kittens and cats that are pregnant or nursing should be switched to Hill's Science Diet Kitten food or Hill's Science Diet Kitten Indoor dry food during those life stages.

Possible Side Effects

• Digestive Sensitivity: Switching to a new food too quickly can cause temporary digestive discomfort in some cats. A gradual transition helps avoid this before fully replacing the previous food.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Does this Senior 7+ Savory Chicken Entrée contain vitamin K, and why is that notable?

Ans: Unlike most wet cat foods, this formula includes Menadione Sodium Bisulfite Complex as a Vitamin K source. For younger cats, that might not matter much,h but for seniors, where blood clotting and bone health start to need more support, having Vitamin K built into the vitamin profile is a genuinely useful addition.

Q2: Is this soft, minced texture better for senior cats with dental sensitivities?

Ans: Absolutely. Many cats 7 and older struggle with tougher foods as their teeth and jaw strength change with age. The finely minced texture here is soft enough to eat without effort, making it a practical choice for daily feeding throughout their senior years.

Q3: Can I rotate this savory chicken entrée with the savory beef or turkey entrée in the Senior 7+ range?

Ans: Yes, and it's actually a smart feeding approach. Rotating between Chicken, Savory Beef, and Savory Turkey keeps things varied for your cat while every flavor in the range is formulated to the same senior-specific nutritional standard, so there's no compromise on balance or completeness.

Q4: How does this Senior 7+ chicken entrée support kidney health in aging cats?

Ans: Phosphorus is controlled at 0.67% dry matter. As cats get older, their kidneys become less efficient at filtering phosphorus, so keeping intake at the right level reduces that daily strain. Hill's designed this into the formula so mature cats get consistent kidney support every day, not just when a problem arises.

Q5: Why does this Senior 7+ chicken entrée have a lower protein level than the Senior 7+ Savory Beef Entrée?

Ans: The chicken formula has 36.7% protein on a dry matter basis, compared to 39.5% in the beef entrée. This just comes down to the difference in ingredients and protein sources between the two recipes. Both are complete and balanced for senior cats 7 and older, and both support lean muscle health, so rotating between them is perfectly fine.

Q6: Does this Senior 7+ formula differ from the standard adult Savory Chicken Entrée for cats 1 to 6 years?

Ans: Senior 7+ formula is made specifically for cats 7 years and older, with a focus on kidney and organ health and keeping energy levels steady as cats age. The standard adult formula is designed for cats between 1 and 6 years and does not include those same adjustments for organ health that become more important in a cat's later years.
