OVERLAND PARK, Kan., April 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Hill's Pet Nutrition (Hill's), a global leader in science-led nutrition, is enhancing the Hill's Science Diet adult and senior lifestage dry dog and cat portfolio with the introduction of ActivBiome+ Multi-Benefit technology. Hill's Science Diet foods with ActivBiome+ Multi-Benefit help build a foundation for lifelong health by supporting digestion, immune system and organ health with a special blend of prebiotic fibers and antioxidants.

"At Hill's, we believe the future of pet health lies in harnessing the power of the gut microbiome," said Dr. Chelsie Estey, US Chief Veterinary Officer at Hill's. "We have worked for more than a decade to deepen our understanding of the microbiome, using research findings to guide the formulation of new nutritional interventions that promote a healthy gut. That is why we are proud to introduce ActivBiome+ Multi-Benefit to our Hill's Science Diet dry adult lifestage formulas, bringing the latest, cutting-edge science to our pet foods."

A 2022 Hill's-conducted study of pet parents revealed their top priorities when choosing pet food are organ health, immune system health support, high-quality protein and digestion.¹ ActivBiome+ Multi-Benefit addresses key areas with its unique formulation:

• Healthy Organ Function: ActivBiome+ Multi-Benefit's prebiotic fibers and antioxidants support vital organs.
• Immune System Health Support: The clinically proven antioxidant blend helps support a healthy immune system.
• Digestive Well-being: ActivBiome+ Multi-Benefit offers great digestive benefits and promotes healthy stool that helps support optimal nutrient absorption and overall comfort.

"Pet parents may feel they're falling short in returning the love their pets show them," said Carrick Massey, US Senior Vice President of Marketing at Hill's. "Hill's is here to help them love their pets in the healthiest way possible. That's because with Hill's, they are feeding their pet a product tailored to their lifestage that is backed by science and packed with nutrition, providing a solid foundation to support lifelong health."
