It's important to feed your adult cat the right amount of food at proper intervals, but this can be tricky -- feeding requirements vary greatly from one cat to another. Feeding guides on the food can or bag are just a starting point. It's critical to your cat's health that her physical condition is monitored regularly and the feeding amount  adjusted as needed.:

To help keep your adult cat healthy, Hill's recommends following the simple steps in this cycle:

  • Weigh your cat
  • Feed her based on feeding guide and veterinary recommendations
  • Evaluate your cat's physical condition using our body condition scoring system every two to three weeks for the first six months
  • Adjust the amount you feed accordingly
  • Repeat

Switching food

If switching your cat to Hill's Science Plan Feline Adult Optimal Care, gradually introduce it over a 7-day period. Do this by mixing your cat's former food with increasing proportions of the new food, until only Science Plan is being fed. She will then be able to fully enjoy the taste and benefits of the superior nutrition provided by Science Plan Feline Adult Optimal Care. You and your vet Your vet is the best source of information about the health and well-being of your cat. Ask your vet to advise regularly on your cat's weight because achieving and maintaining a pet's ideal weight not only reduces certain health risks, but can lead to your cat having a more energetic, longer and healthier life.

Ask your veterinarian which of these three feeding methods is best for your adult cat:

Free Choice: Food is available to your cat at all times.
Time-Limited Feeding: Food is available to your cat for a limited time.
Meal Feeding: A measured amount of food is available to your cat at specific meal times each day. Water Your cat must have an adequate supply of fresh water at all times. Not having water to drink for a sustained length of time can harm your cat's health. Treats & tidbits Although it is tempting to give them table scraps they do not provide your cat with the correct balance of nutrients. Try to be sparing with treats, as giving too many can lead to weight gain or nutritional imbalance. The next step At around seven years old your cat will reach the senior stage of life. The nutritional needs of older cats are different from those of younger adults, so you should change your pet's food. Hill's™ Science Plan Feline Mature Adult provides superior nutrition for cats aged seven and above. So by feeding your cat with Science Plan Feline Mature Adult you can help keep her younger as she gets older.

  • The Right Diet For Your Pet

    Dog eating. In people, the right diet is very important. If you are eating the wrong way for your metabolism, activity level, age and lifestyle you could end up with health issues.
  • Proteins

    Dogs running To make a protein, amino acids are linked together in a long chain. The chain is then bundled into to a three-dimensional structure, like a tangled ball of yarn. Although there are hundreds of different amino acids, only 21 are used in animal proteins.
  • Minerals

    Dogs running More than 18 mineral elements are believed to be essential for mammals. By definition, macrominerals are required by the animal in the diet in larger amounts and microminerals or trace elements in much smaller amounts. All the macrominerals, except sulphur, are described in the text.
  • Why antioxidants are important

    Dogs running Cells are continually under attack from compounds called ‘free radicals’. Generated as a ‘by-product’ of the body’s own metabolism or as a result of external factors like pollution, free radicals can kill cells by damaging the membrane, the enzymes and the DNA contained within.
