Furry PI's verdict

The label tells a weaker story than the front of the pack suggests for Hill's Adult Urinary Hairball Control. It contains wheat gluten. To be fair, after the broth, pork liver is first in line — the right start for an obligate carnivore. On balance, most cats are better served by stronger options — the app can suggest better-graded foods of the same type.

What's concerning

Contains wheat gluten, a lower-quality ingredient.
A modest share of calories comes from protein.
Several other ingredients on the label raise quality questions — the full flagged list is in the app.

What works

After the broth, pork liver is first in line — the right start for an obligate carnivore.
As a wet food, it delivers the moisture cats rarely drink on their own.
Carbohydrate load stays close to what a cat would eat in nature.
