GoodGuide.com, a website devoted to rating pet food products launched in early 2011, recently awarded Hill's® Science Diet® Senior 11+ Age Defying™ Cat Food with its highest ranking. The website provides consumers with rating and details about the health, environmental and social performance of products and companies.

This particular cat food was introduced to the marketplace in August, 2011. It is formulated to help cats of 11 years of age and up, feel and act younger, according to the company. Hill's® Science Diet® Senior 11+ Age Defying™ Cat Food contains an antioxidant bundle that is touted as defending the body and brain against aging. As a result, consumers are told to expect their cats to be more playful, agile, and alert. With its small kibble-sized pieces, it is easier to chew and digest in aging cats. The nutrients in the kibble target healthy cognitive function while the fish oil and omega fatty acids promote a healthy coat.

"We recognize that receiving a top rating from GoodGuide.com is one of the highest achievements in the pet foods industry," said Liliana Bernal, DVM, Hill's Pet Nutrition. "Passing the stringent review process validates to consumers that Hill's Science Diet Senior 11+ Age Defying(TM) is made with breakthrough, quality nutrition that specifically targets the needs of cats as they enter their golden years."
