Digestive issues are one of the most common reasons cats visit the vet. Hilltop Science Plus Hypoallergenic Digestive Care is a complete, veterinary-approved dry cat food for sterilised and adult cats with sensitive digestion β a gastrointestinal cat food built on the science of highly digestible peptide nutrition, prebiotic support, and gut barrier protection.
Made with freshly prepared hydrolysed turkey β a hypoallergenic protein source broken down into small-chain peptides via our exclusive Freshtrusion HDP process β this is a hydrolysed cat food specifically designed for cats that struggle with food sensitivities, gut inflammation, or poor nutrient absorption.
Peptide+ Cat Digestive Care achieved 92% protein digestibility β far exceeding the FEDIAF's 80% standard

Hydrolysed turkey peptides support renewal of intestinal epithelial cells for a healthier, more resilient gut lining.
Collagen peptides help maintain the intestinal barrier function, protecting against harmful substances entering the body.
Formulated with prebiotics MOS & FOS to help support a balanced gut microbiome and healthy immune function.
Short-chain peptides have very low antigenic potential, minimising the risk of adverse food reactions β ideal as an allergy control cat food.
Formulated without grain β ideal for cats with grain intolerances or sensitivities that may be contributing to digestive upset.
Formulated by trained Pet Nutritionists and approved by licensed Veterinarians.
Freshtrusion HDP β The Power of Peptides
Our Freshtrusion HDP (Highly Digestible Protein) process cooks freshly prepared turkey in the presence of a natural enzyme, breaking proteins down into small-chain peptides. For cats with sensitive digestion, this is the critical difference β the protein is pre-broken before it even reaches the gut, making it far easier to absorb and far less likely to trigger an adverse immune response.
The Goldilocks Principle β research shows that di and tri-peptides are the "just right" form of protein for maximum absorption. Intact proteins are too large to cross the intestinal wall efficiently; individual amino acids are too small and quickly overwhelmed. Small-chain peptides hit the optimal absorption window β maximising nutritional value for cats with gastrointestinal sensitivities.
- Intestinal barrier support β the gut lining is protected by tight junctions between epithelial cells. Highly digestible peptides supply the amino acids needed to renew and repair these cells, keeping the barrier strong and intact
- Collagen peptides β help support the structure of tight junctions and protect against inflammation-related damage, contributing to a healthier, more resilient gut lining in cats with gastrointestinal conditions
- Hypoallergenic protein source β hydrolysed proteins broken into small peptides are gentle on the digestive system and significantly less likely to trigger an immune reaction, making this an effective allergy control cat food for long-term use
Digestive Care β Prebiotic & Fibre Support
Beyond the hydrolysed protein, Hilltop Science Plus Digestive Care is formulated with two clinically recognised prebiotics and a natural fibre source, working together to support gut microbiome balance, stool quality, and day-to-day digestive comfort in cats with sensitive stomachs.
A naturally derived prebiotic that selectively feeds beneficial gut bacteria, promoting a balanced microbiome and supporting healthy digestive function in cats with sensitive digestion.
A prebiotic derived from yeast cell walls that helps support a healthy gut microbiome, aids immune function, and helps reduce compounds responsible for unpleasant stool odour.
A novel hypoallergenic protein source broken into small peptides β gentle on the gastrointestinal tract and ideal for cats with food sensitivities or protein allergies.
A functional fibre source that supports healthy nutrient absorption and helps maintain firm, well-formed stools β important for cats prone to loose stools or digestive discomfort.
Prebiotics MOS and FOS feed beneficial gut bacteria, promoting a balanced microbiome and helping reduce compounds that can cause unpleasant stool odour β a common concern for owners of cats with gastrointestinal sensitivities.
Cellulose supports healthy nutrient absorption and helps maintain firm, well-formed stools for overall digestive comfort and easier daily management.
This recipe has been formulated by trained Pet Nutritionists and reviewed and approved by licensed Veterinarians. Hilltop Science Plus is designed as a therapeutic alternative to regular food, backed by independent research and proven digestibility results.
