Must be nasty
By MelLaw on Mar 3, 2021
My 12 year old cockerpoo will not eat all of this to save her life. We mix it with wet food and she avoids it and always leaves at least half in her bowl. Sad to be so expensive. She doesn't itch anymore though which is why she's on it.

Complicated
By Sophia on Feb 3, 2021
This food probably does help many dogs, however for my 60lb American Pitbull Terrior - this food made him very constipated. So much so that I took him back to his veterinarian and was recommended to change his food again. This food also did not do much for his skin condition, and other avenues are being explored at this time.

Formula change
By LabMom on Dec 15, 2020
Very upset to see that the formula has changed for this product. My pup has been on this food for over 3 years and has done so well. I do not understand why the company made so many changes. There is significantly more fiber, a change in the fat source and several other modifications. The customer service rep for Hill’s seemed fairly uninformed about all of the changes. I don’t understand why the company didn’t just create a different type of food rather than altering an already solid product. Hoping the company will go back to the previous formulation.

It's different
By Jhyson60 on Dec 13, 2020
My dog ate this food for at least 5 yrs for her frequent ear infections. We just received a new bag about a week ago & she will NOT touch it, no matter what we do to it. We noticed when we first opened the bag, the bits were smaller. Apparently, that's not all that's changed. We've done everything we could to make sure it was actually the food & not my dog. It's the food. Won't be buying anymore.

The Formula Has CHANGED
By IBDDOG on Dec 5, 2020
Just letting everyone know that this formula has changed and now contains potentially less protein (13 vs 14%min.), twice as much fiber (6 vs 3% max..), coconut oil instead of pork fat, a new to the food emulsifier called glyceryl monostearate, as well as other changes to the order of ingredients. The fact that this food has changed is not even announced on the Hills website, which I find to be a disservice. There is a large red banner on the bag announcing the change, which is great, but if people don’t know beforehand they may not have enough of the original formula left to properly transition. I’m posting a photo of the new ingredient label.

Our Dog Loves This Food
By Michael on Nov 29, 2020
Our dog recently was diagnosed with a chicken allergy and our vet recommended this food. She is a super picky eater and it took a few days for her to acclimate to the new food but once she did, she now loves it! She has a lot better appetite and energy levels as well as solid poops........such a great change after suffering so long from an unknown food allergy.

Zoe is better with this food
By Bonnie on Jan 5, 2021
It’s helped our Zoe who had a tough time after diagnosed with IBD and allergies. (Zoe is a 5 year old rescue from Georgia who sings Home on the Range!)

Just didn't like it
By Gremi on Oct 23, 2020
I'm sure this is a great quality food. Unfortunately my pup didn't like it and wouldn't eat it. I wish these companies would offer smaller sizes to try so customers wouldn't spend so much money for a product that cannot be used.

Hill's Venison + Potato food for Dogs with Skin Allergies
By Superfood on Jul 24, 2020
My dog was diagnosed with an undetermined skin condition and the dog dermatologist recommended to switch his food this Hill's special food. I freaked out because it is so expensive; however, in two weeks, his allergies are slowly disappearing. You have to be very strict. I never thought we would be able to get his condition under control. This food works!
