In reply to chris. Hi Chris, generally chicken is used based on availability and price. But when it comes to Hills I often find they're based mostly on non-meat ingredients rather than meat...!

Yes, i have to agree. You pay a fortune for that food and receive fillers, such as rice in it. What i also would like to find out is why so many cat foods, such as Hills are based on chicken.

Having serious doubts about Hills Tender Chicken. He vomits and that’s always what it looks like. (He also gets chicken liver, kidney, fish and Coles’ chicken rartare)

In reply to caroline. I guess that’s always a good thing, might make changing them over easier, but I’ve read stories where the cats loved the dogs food so much the people went out and got the cat variety of that same formula and the cats wouldn’t touch it XD. I guess try it out and let us know how it works and use the website if you need it.

In reply to caroline. Supposedly cats are very hard to switch foods with, if you have trouble check catinfo.org very helpful website that I used to go to a lot and suggest to a lot of people.

Your ingredient list is markedly different from the actual ingredient list for Adult Indoor:

Perhaps you wrote your review based on an older recipe for Adult Indoor. Your review isn’t dated so it’s hard to tell.
