Directions for Use

• Use the Feeding Chart: Find your cat's body weight and use the daily pouch amount as a starting point, adjusting portions over time to help maintain a healthy body condition.
• Serve Directly From the Pouch: Tear open each pouch and empty the contents into your cat's bowl. No preparation or warming is required before serving each individual portion.

• Use as a Dry Food Topper: Squeezing this tuna pouch over a serving of compatible Science Diet Adult 7+ dry kibble adds moisture and a strong tuna aroma that can encourage eating in reluctant feeders.
• Fresh Water at All Times: Keep a clean, full bowl of water near your senior cat's feeding area throughout the day to support daily hydration and kidney health.

• Not for Pregnant Nursing Cats: Cats that are pregnant or nursing should be transitioned to Hill's Science Diet Kitten or Hill's Science Diet Kitten Indoor food during that period.
• Fish-Based Formula: This product contains tuna and fish oil as primary ingredients. Cats with a known sensitivity to fish-based proteins should be assessed by a veterinarian before being introduced to this formula.
• Packaging Safety: Always keep used pouches and any packaging materials out of reach of pets and children at all times to prevent the risk of accidental suffocation.

Possible Side Effects

• Transition Digestive Upset: For cats new to this food, introducing it gradually over a 7-day period alongside the current food helps minimize temporary digestive discomfort during the changeover.
• Fish Protein Sensitivity: Some cats may be sensitive to fish-based proteins. If persistent digestive upset, vomiting, or skin reactions occur after introducing this product, consult a veterinarian.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How does the Tender Tuna Dinner pouch formula compare nutritionally to the Tender Chicken Dinner pouch?

Ans: The Tender Tuna Dinner contains a higher protein level at 42% versus 38.6% for the chicken version, and a notably higher omega-3 content at 1.15% compared to 0.49% for the chicken pouch. It also contains significantly more taurine at 0.67% compared to 0.36% in the chicken formula, and a slightly lower fat content at 15.9% versus 18.6% on a dry matter basis.

Q2: How many calories are in each 2.8 oz Tender Tuna Dinner pouch for senior cats?

Ans: Each 2.8 oz (80 g) pouch of Hill's Science Diet Adult 7+ Tender Tuna Dinner contains approximately 72 calories based on the caloric density of 903 kcal per kilogram. Since most senior cats require multiple pouches per day based on body weight, following the weight-based feeding chart carefully helps ensure each cat receives the right daily caloric and nutritional intake.

Q3: Why does this tuna formula contain a higher taurine level than the chicken pouch variant?

Ans: The Tender Tuna Dinner pouch contains taurine at 0.67% on a dry matter basis, compared to 0.36% in the Tender Chicken Dinner pouch. Tuna is a naturally richer source of taurine than chicken, and its higher presence in this formula reflects the tuna-based protein profile. This elevated taurine level further supports healthy cardiac muscle function and visual health in senior cats aged 7 and above.

Q4: Is this Tender Tuna Dinner pouch appropriate for senior cats that have kidney health concerns?

Ans: This formula contains phosphorus at 0.68% on a dry matter basis, which is a moderate level included to help support kidney health in aging cats as part of a daily balanced diet. However, for cats with a confirmed kidney diagnosis, veterinary guidance is essential before selecting any diet, as those cats may require a prescription formula with more precisely controlled phosphorus and protein levels.

Q5: Does this formula contain Vitamin K, and why is it included?

Ans: Yes, unlike the Tender Chicken Dinner pouch formula, this formula includes Menadione Sodium Bisulfite Complex as a Vitamin K source. Vitamin K supports normal blood clotting function, and its presence in the tuna formula is one of the key nutritional differences between the two pouch variants in the Senior 7+ range.

Q6: Can this Tender Tuna Dinner pouch be rotated with the Tender Chicken Dinner pouch in a daily feeding routine?

Ans: Yes, both the Tender Tuna Dinner and Tender Chicken Dinner pouches are complete and balanced formulas for the maintenance of adult cats aged 7 and above. Rotating between the two flavors can help maintain mealtime interest in senior cats that may otherwise become bored with a single flavor, while still providing complete, balanced senior nutrition in every serving.

Q7: Is Hill's Science Diet Adult 7+ Tender Tuna Dinner wet cat food complete and balanced for senior cats?

Ans: Yes, AAFCO feeding tests confirm this formula delivers complete nutrition for the maintenance of adult cats. When fed in the amounts shown on the weight-based feeding chart, it works as a full daily diet for cats aged 7 and above, providing all the essential nutrients that support healthy aging in senior cats.
