Salt is an important component of your cat’s diet and has a crucial role to play in her wellbeing. Salt (or sodium chloride) maintains electrolyte balance and is needed for organ function and the nervous system.

However, studies show that too much salt in your cat’s diet could put her at an increased risk of health problems such as heart disease and higher blood pressure.  Also, excess salt can stimulate the progression of kidney disease, even before it has been detected. This is particularly concerning for owners of older cats, as these cats are often in the early stages of the disease without you even being aware of it.

Sadly many pet food brands add salt to improve their taste. And pet owners are simply unaware of the potential dangers to their pet's health.

It’s because of the increased risks associated with feeding too much salt, that we at Hill’s™ strictly control the salt content of our food. That’s not to say that we compromise on the taste.  We simply know that the nutrients taken in at every meal must be precisely balanced, because too much can often be as harmful as too little.

So with Hill’s™ Science Plan™, you can be sure that your cat is getting just the right balance of nutrients without the risks associated with excess salt. And what’s more she’ll love the taste – guaranteed.
