We try hard to be conscious with all of our purchases and try to buy products from companies that are doing their greenest From their manufacturing sites being zero waste certified and their commitment to reducing their CO2 emissions as a company every year, sustainability is a huge part of their company. On top of that they have provided more than $295 million in food to help pets in need through more than 1,000 shelters. We love that Vladimir is a Hills Pet kitty, and that every bag he goes through helps other kitties out there find new homes.

We would just set out a bowl of food and let him leisurely graze all day. When he was younger and more active and we didn’t notice any concerning weight gain, but recently he’s gotten a little chubby and lazy. One major change we made for Vladimir was getting him an automatic pet feeder that feeds him a prescribed amount of his favorite Hills Pet food at the same time, twice a day. For a healthy cat, the padding shouldn’t feel any thicker than the padding over the back of your hand, says the Cummings Veterinary Medical Center at Tufts University.

We are 100% guilty of feeding Vladimir kitty “junk food” in the past. We asked his veterinarian about his condition and they said most likely in his case, it was due to sensitive skin, food sensitivities, and allergies. The vet laughed and said that we were basically feeding him total kitty junk food! Vladimir dove headfirst into his health journey and is now completely obsessed with the @HillsPet Sensitive Stomach & Skin formula.

When we were in our last year of college, deep in the pit of our last round of finals, Madison needed a kitty to love. While a little frustrated that I had walked right into Madison’s trap, I admittedly fell in love with this tiny, white kitten and our family got just a little bit bigger. While many states saw a spike in pet adoption and fostering amid the COVID-19 Pandemic, there are financial concerns looming as unemployment is expected to reach an all-time peak this summer, ultimately leaving Americans with very tight budgets. @hillspet provides an array of resources for pet owners, including a quiz to determine which pet is right for you, pet care advice, plus an informational portal dedicated to tips for first-time pet owners.
