FAQ
How much should I feed my pet?
Just as eating amounts vary from person to person, 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. However, the feeding guide is intended only as a starting point. It's critical to your pet's health that his or her physical condition be monitored regularly and the feeding amount adjusted as needed

What's the shelf life of the Hill's food my pet eats? How can I store the food?
Shelf life varies by food type. Please refer to the best before date stamped on the bottom of all canned products' do not recommend freezing your pet's foods. Freezing canned pet food dramatically changes the texture of products and may adversely affect palatability. Your pet's feeding bowl should be emptied of moist or moistened food not consumed by the pet within four hours if the ambient temperature is above 10 degrees Celsius. Prior to opening, store cans in a place where the temperature is between 10-38 degrees Celsius. After opening, canned products should be covered and stored in a refrigerator at 4 to 7 Degrees Celsius. In general, refrigerated canned foods should be used within 3 to 5 days after opening. Canned products with high amounts of rice often have separation of water from the other canned product (free water will be seen at the bottom or around the side of the can) within a few days. This separation of water is called syneresis and does not change the nutritional characteristics of the food, but will affect food texture and possibly palatability. Since freezing dramatically changes the texture of canned products and adversely affects palatability, freezing canned pet food is not recommended either before or after opening.VetEssentials brand pet foods offer preventative nutrition for each life stage. Each VetEssentials pet food delivers five health benefits to address the needs of pets at every life stage. Along with regular exercise and veterinary check-ups, VetEssentials maximises your pet's potential for a healthy future. VetEssentials is available exclusively through your veterinarian.
How do I pet foods for my cat or dog?
Pets are creatures of habit and may need some help in switching to a new food. Unless recommended otherwise by a veterinarian, gradually introduce any new food over a seven-day period. Mix the new food with your pet's former food, gradually increasing the amount until only the new food is fed.
Most pets readily accept these foods, but some are more reluctant than others to give up what is familiar to them. If your pet does not easily switch, you may want to try one of the following suggestions:
- Warming the food or adding warm water enhances the food's smell and flavour.
- Do not leave food available at all times. Consider meal feeding every three to four hours, 15-20 minutes each time.
- To help enhance the of both dry and canned food, a small amount of low-sodium chicken broth or the liquid drained from tuna canned in water when transitioning your pet from one food to another. (Do not use this tip for Prescription Diet™ z/d™ or d/d™ pet foods.)
