Cons

  • Kibble size is too large, making it difficult for some cats to chew, leading to refusal to eat.

Bottom Line

Hill's Science Diet Indoor, Senior Adult 7+, provides a high-quality, vet-recommended option for older cats with its meat-based formula and reduced litter box odor. However, it’s crucial to transition gradually to avoid digestive issues and the larger kibble size may not suit all cats. The high-fat content of the new formula might be a concern for some. Despite this, many cats enjoy the taste, although there have been reports of preference changes over time. If large kibble is a concern, owners might want to consider different Science Diet options.
