Many, many benefits and a couple of caveats
For some reason, the science of nutrition has become more like religion in modern times….as if what the owner believes will magically make the dog healthy. Dogs and their bodies cannot share our belief systems.I’ve been using Science Diet brand for over 30 years now, various formulas for individual pets with their needs. They do very well. Great, in fact.There is the correct amount of protein: they can digest and metabolize it all and not have excess go through them or harm the renal system and cause stones. The calcium is correctly combined with other things so it is available to the dog.The volume I need to feed for each meal is small enough that it does not risk bloat, cause gas, or interfere with digestion. In other words, it fits comfortably in my dog’s stomach when it expands with the moisture in there. The bag lasts a LONG time because meal sizes are small due to nutritional density.It does not have “flavors” dogs cannot taste (they don’t have taste buds like we do) or artificially added colors and shapes dogs do not care about.I measure the meals with an actual measuring cup, so I know if my dog is losing his appetite right away.I use small bites for my larger dog because it slows down his eating, taking him longer to finish, which is healthier and allows him to enjoy it more.I like to feed poultry-based foods as they are easiest to digest, but lamb and turkey are high in tryptophan, which can be soothing and support good mental health.When it comes to ingredients, I trust what veterinarians and canine nutritional experts approve, not what the average consumer thinks sounds good, or what dogs would pick in a lineup (Cheetos or brownies would probably win, really, with dogs). Grapes and raisins are healthy for us, but can kill dogs. They are not just like us. This product is one I trust because it is made for domestic dogs. Yes, “biproducts” sound gross, and maybe they are, but bear in mind humans fed dogs offal and leftovers, not the best cuts, historically. Dogs got what they got, and ate what we ate, and we were pretty poor. We taught them to help us hunt, but also not to kill and eat the things, but to bring them to us or hold them in one place, even rats (because we wanted them to kill all the rats, not just what they could eat). These guys will eat poop and raw dead birds maggots and all in the yard if they can. Cooked and properly processed biproducts are not that gross.CON: Science Diet on their smaller bags of product, like for cats, is using Velcro to allow bags to be re-sealable. It works very well, keeping the food fresher. While I currently decant the dog food into another container, I think it would be great if they added this to all sizes of bags. If you buy this, rolling it tightly and clipping, putting in large Ziplocs, or getting a container to keep it fresh (and not stale) will be the best methods.NOTE: If your dog has a confirmed allergy to a specific grain, like corn, the usual culprit, as that is New World and was not around most of the time mankind was creating dogs, then this may not be for you. Even formulas that have barley or rice sometimes have corn products, so read labels carefully or use dogfoodadvisor dot com. Limited ingredient foods can be the best thing. However, make sure the allergy is not to peas, a common culprit, used in many grain-free foods, before you go crazy. Let your vet help you

Mini Bites like my dogs like !
Hillâs Science Diet dog food has been a game-changer for my dogâs health and happiness! Since switching to this brand, Iâve noticed a significant improvement in his energy levels, coat shine, and overall well-being. The ingredients are top-quality, and itâs clear that a lot of thought goes into the nutritional balance of each formula. My dog absolutely loves the taste, and I feel great knowing Iâm feeding him something thatâs both delicious and beneficial. Whether your dog has specific dietary needs or youâre just looking for a high-quality food, Hillâs Science Diet is a fantastic choice. Highly recommend!

Amazing dog food
I have 4 dogs. When they have the hills bag opening they run to their bowls now. Never did that for other brands. The bag alone the greatest dog food bag. The seal is beautiful. Their poo poo is much better also. I should have started them on hills from the start. I highly recommend this food.

Kibble IS bigger around than ‘small bites’
My pomchi will eat almost anything, but she really likes this food. I gave her chicken meal & brown rice flavor in the ‘small bites’ when she was younger. I switched to Blue Buffalo small breed food but decided to switch back to Hill’s thinking it’s a better food for her. She seems to really like it!

I have tried to swap for the ‘fresh’ trend… NOPE!
Our baby, Beasley (and… he IS our baby… our bougie baby who we do anything and everything for), was on this from the day we got him from the shelter on October 20th of 2015 when he was 6 months old. I got him a few of the other flavors, but he didn’t like it. Over the years, I have bought him various treats… he will ONLY eat Milo’s Kitchen Chicken Jerky treats, and that is only important to explain his ‘picky’ nature below…When I saw the commercials for Farmer’s Dog – it (of course) played to my ‘guilt’ about dogs eating processed food their entire life. So, I closed my eyes and signed up for a subscription… which you almost HAVE to close your eyes because of the price difference! He scarfed down the first one of the first flavor (chicken, which is what Beasley loves more than anything), and I was convinced I had done something to be an even better fur-mom! The next morning, I gave him the beef… he wouldn’t touch it. So – I opened another chicken one… he wouldn’t touch that either! I had to HAND FEED it to him for him even to eat a little of it. I researched, and found NomNom had better ratings – so I tried that instead. Again, he scarfed down the first one AND the second one… but refused to eat any after that.My conclusion is that… if you are feeding your dog cheap-o dog food that doesn’t have the best quality, then they will likely love the latest ‘fresh dog food’ that is trending right now. However… if they are eating Hill’s Science Diet food that is high quality, then the fresh food is only something to spend extra money on, and most of us don’t have that to spend. Especially when Hill’s has such a great reputation and keeps our baby happy and healthy and shiny! <3I recommend this food to EVERYONE I talk to. It is the only food offered at our vet, also... that should have been my first clue - don't fix it if it isn't broken! 😉

My vet recommended I buy this for my twelve year old cavoodle, as his health is declining. My dog loves this food and I donât know if I am imagining it, but he seems happier and his coat has a nice sheen.
