Hill's Science Diet Specialty dry food changes Oct/Nov 2025

  • Updated

As a valued Autodeliver customer, we want to let you know about an update to your pet's Hill's Science Diet Specialty dry food. 

These products will have new packaging and formulation changes as part of ongoing improvements across the Hill's product range. 
 

Some of these updated products have begun shipping from late October 2025. During this transition period, you may receive either the current or new version as stock arrives. We recommend keeping a week’s supply of your pet’s current food on hand to help with the change.
