Feeding Instructions
Ask your veterinarian for specific feeding instructions for your pet. Please see package for complete feeding instructions. Daily Feeding Recommendations are only a guide and a place to start. Grams are the most accurate form of measurement; cups are estimated from grams. New to this food? Mix increasing amounts of your pet's new food with decreasing amounts of the old food for 7 days or more. Some cats may need longer than 7 days to transition to a new food. Be patient and consistent. Keep fresh water available at all times! Your pet's nutritional needs may change as they age. Ask your vet at every checkup.

Frequently Asked Questions
Bags of dry Science Diet®, Science Diet VetEssentials and Prescription Diet® cat food should be stored in a cool, dry environment under 38°C (100°F)? This is to prevent destruction of vitamins and oxidation of fats leading to rancidity. Pet foods will retain their best flavor if stored in the original bag, which provides a fat barrier. Storage at temperatures of 48°C (120°F) for more than 48 hours can accelerate the normal degradation or destruction of the vitamins.
We do not recommend feeding people food or table scraps. Veterinarians strongly believe that feeding pets table scraps or "people" food can lead to excesses or deficiencies of nutrients in your pet's nutrition which over time may lead to health problems for your pet (like obesity). Feeding table scraps or “people” food can also result in a more finicky pet.
Just like people, eating amounts vary from pet to pet. Most Hill's pet foods have a feeding guide on the package to help you determine the proper amount to feed your pet. Please keep in mind that the feeding guide is intended only as a starting point, and you should follow your veterinarian’s recommendation based on your pet's specific health needs.
