All Hill’s
Hill's Science Plan is vet-recommended nutrition for dogs and cats from Hill's Pet Nutrition. The company's story goes back to 1939, when veterinarian Dr Mark Morris Sr created his first pet food. We carry the Science Plan range and deliver across South Africa.
Hill's for dogs
There are recipes for puppies, adults and mature dogs 7+, sized for small and mini, medium and large breeds. For specific needs, look at Perfect Weight for dogs that need to lose or manage weight, Sensitive Stomach & Skin, Perfect Digestion, Healthy Mobility for joints, Hypoallergenic and Oral Care. Dry food comes in bags from 1.5kg to 18kg, and the larger bags work out cheaper per kilogram. Wet options include stews, tins and mousses. See all dog food.
Hill's for cats
The cat range covers kittens, adults and mature cats 7+. Choose from Sterilised Cat, Perfect Weight, Hairball & Perfect Coat, Sensitive Stomach & Skin, Perfect Digestion and Oral Care, plus pouches and mousses. The adult and kitten dry foods with salmon have replaced the earlier tuna recipes. See all cat food.
How to choose
Start with your pet's life stage: puppy or kitten, adult, or mature 7+. For dogs, then pick the breed size. Finally, choose any special need, such as weight, a sensitive stomach, digestion or joints. Feed the amount on the bag for your pet's ideal weight, and change over gradually across 7 days by mixing the new food with the old. Hill's Prescription Diet vet foods are not part of this range, so ask your vet about those.

Hill’s Science Plan questions
How much does Hill’s Science Plan cost in South Africa?
Each recipe and bag size shows its current price above, and bigger bags cost less per kilogram. If you find the same Hill’s food, same size and in stock, for less at another South African online pet shop, our Price Promise beats it by R5.
Are there Hill’s specials right now?
Yes. Your first Hill’s Autoship order is 35% off (up to R400), then 5% off every Autoship delivery. Limited-time deals are on our Hill’s specials.
Which Hill’s food is right for my dog or cat?
Start with life stage (puppy or kitten, adult, or mature 7+), then size for dogs, then any need such as Perfect Weight, Sensitive Stomach & Skin or Healthy Mobility. The filters above narrow it down. If your pet has a medical condition, ask your vet.
How do I switch my pet to Hill’s?
Take 7 days: about a quarter Hill’s on days 1–2, half on days 3–4, three-quarters on days 5–6 and all Hill’s from day 7.
Do you sell Hill’s Prescription Diet?
No. The Dog Food App stocks Hill’s Science Plan, not Prescription Diet veterinary foods, so please speak to your vet about Prescription Diet.
How fast is Hill’s delivery?
Yes, in Johannesburg, Pretoria, Cape Town and Durban when you order by 10am, and metro delivery is free from R500. Everywhere else in South Africa we deliver by courier: 1–2 working days in the other main centres and 2–5 working days elsewhere.
