Hill's Science Diet Adult 1-6, Adult 1-6 Premium Nutrition, Small Kibble, Dry Dog Food, Chicken & Barley, 15 lb Bag

I’ve been feeding my dog Hill’s Science Diet Chicken & Barley dry food for a few months now, and he absolutely loves it. The kibble is small enough for him to easily chew, and he seems to really enjoy the taste. It’s nice to know I’m giving him food that’s not only tasty but also full of good nutrition.Since switching to this food, I’ve noticed a few positive changes. His coat is shinier, and his energy levels are up. He’s been more playful and active, which is awesome. He’s also had no stomach issues at all, which I was a little concerned about when trying a new brand.The 45 lb bag is a great deal, especially for the quality of food you’re getting. It lasts a good while, and I don’t have to worry about running out too quickly. Overall, I feel really good about this food because it’s healthy, my dog loves it, and it’s easy on my wallet. If you’re looking for reliable, high-quality dog food, I’d definitely recommend Hill’s Science Diet!

My corgi just love this small bite sizes, perfect for her! She wasn’t getting excited with her food. We decided to switch to this brand and she devoured each last morsel.

If you haven’t given your puppy This dog food you’re doing your puppy an injustice! My puppy has the most velvety shining coat! He feels good and has energy to play and entertain you! Hill Science Diet is the very best!

Great dog food recommended by many dog experts. Good value for money.My dog loves all the varieties of this food

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

My dogs love this food

Geeat price and fantastic product recommended by my Vet!

We have been feeding this formulation of Hills to my dogs across 25 years. Multiple vets have told me that they believe it to be consistently healthiest and most of their patients/dogs who have lived exceptionally long lives have eaten this stuff. Love that it comes in these small bites for smaller dogs. One tablespoon of cooked ground chicken, with juice, on top.of this kibble Nd even the pickiest dog I've ever encountered is happy. I have had small breeds rescues who wouldn't eat anything.. anything.. except this with the magic teaspoon of ground meat/juice on top. Nobody ever seems to tire of it.
