A gradual transition to a new pet food is important to avoid digestive upset. To transition, mix your pet’s current food with the new food. Over 7 days, gradually decrease the amount of the current pet food while increasing the amount of new pet food. In some cases, your veterinarian may recommend no transition or a shorter transition time.

Hills Prescription Heart Care Food
By WoodsyHen on Nov 22, 2018
Our Boxer was recently hospitalized where we discovered that her heart was enlarged to twice its normal size and she has heart disease! (I knew that Boxer's are the #1 dog for getting cancer, but I didn't know about this!!!) This food is very expensive for a small bag but I'm hoping it will help extend our sweet girl's life! (She's going on 13 which is really good for a Boxer!) It has amino acids that are good for the heart and other vitamins. Haven't used it for very long, but she does like it. Our other Boxer is on Hills W/D and what I've discovered with both foods is that you have to supplement with something else for them to have a normal weight. So, I give her 1/2 cup of Kirkland Organic Our Boxer was recently hospitalized where we discovered that her heart was enlarged to twice its normal size and she has heart disease!

Heart diet

Ordered on Christmas Day after we got our Charlie home from the vet where he needed to be on a heart healthy diet. He loves it!

Dog loves it
By Mina on Oct 23, 2018
I was skeptical about buying because I read the nibbles were too big. I have a maltipoo and he had no problem. Nibbles are not any bigger than his old food. They are a good size for my dog 24 lbs. I mix with the can food since can food is pricey to feed alone.

Dry is good!
By PrincessoftheDesert on Oct 16, 2018
Whether I serve the food whole or crumble it up and mix it with broth and wet food, my little girl loves it. I only wish it came in a smaller bag. Seventeen pounds is a bit heavy for someone of my age and stature to haul around.

I would recommend this brand if it is prescribed to your dog.
By Teelacat on Aug 30, 2018
This brand was prescribed to my fourteen year old chow chow, due to her recent diagnosis of congestive heart failure. Along with other treatments this food did not disappoint. I paired it with the canned variety and my dog does like it hands down. She has no digestive issues with it and looks forward to her new meals.
