Great product, bad packaging

This dog food has been very helpful for our border collie's hip issues. We've been using it a couple of years and love it. But they've recently changed the packaging. It used to have a great zip-lock type closer that was airtight and kept the product fresh. Now they switched to a cheap velcro-like thing that doesn't work at all. This can not be good for their public image, and I can't understand why they would make such a bad decision. I'm still giving the review four stars because the product itself seems to still be top notch, but I would definitely have given five had it not been for the terrible packaging change.

Pricey food

I tried this food for my soon to be 12 year old standard poodle who is having a harder time standing up. It was quite pricey but I was hopeful that it would help. She doesnt really want to eat it and I cant say if Ive seen a difference or not.

Worked better than I imagined

I was skeptical when I first read the reviews about the amazing results people's dogs had. I tempered my expectations and had my, at the time, 10 year old border collie try it. The j/d did work miracles. She had been getting stiff, stopped jumping in the car, and was slowing down. After around 3 weeks of using j/d we noticed the stiffness went away and she was more active. After a little more time she could jump in the car and was like her younger self again! She is 13 now and while she's starting to slow down again, she still jumps in the car and is less stiff than she was before we started using j/d. We just took her to her annual vet appointment and as usual, the vet was so impressed with her health and stated that she seems like a much younger dog than she is. This food is worth the money and really can work magic on your dog, no tempering of expectations needed.

Science Diet

Don’t recommend. My dog doesn’t like it & now I regret buying it. It’s very pricey for her not to like it.

Dog rejecting 2022 "Upgraded Formula"

Not sure what they changed, but Hill's changed something in the 2022 rebrand of this j/d dry dog food and our dog completely rejects it. For context, our dog will eat anything. I've seen him try to eat pieces of brick on the beach. So it's particularly notable that he won't even get up, sniff, interact with, or acknowledge this. He ate the old blend of the j/d food just fine (round/spherical pieces) but the reformulated version (disc-shaped) is just a hard pass. We've tried it dry, tried adding water. Sometimes after hours have passed and he's desperate, he will eat a bit - and these times, hours later, his stool is typically extremely soft. Thus, we started adding Bernie's Perfect Poop on top of it, and it's even harder to get him to eat. What has been an afterthought for 2.5 years - feeding the dog - has now turned into hours each day trying just to get him to eat. I called Hill's and gave them a full report - they have no idea, but, can't recommend this. I've asked our vet for anything else, because the dog will literally eat anything else.

BEST Service EVER!!!

Wow. Simply WOW. I was having a hard time finding Science Diet J/D food for my 13 year old dog, Sammy. My veterinarian suggested I try Chewy and see if they have it. When I ordered online, to my surprise, it was available. So I place the order and signed up for the subscription food program. This is a great way to keep my food supply from running low again. But the best part is that it arrived in 2 days! My panicked state was over, my dog is happy and I am extremely happy. Thanks Chewy for saving the day.

Senior lab/boxer mutt

This stuff worked great for a couple of years until they recently changed the formula. Shortly after the change, my senior pup got horners syndrome and now frequently loses his balance. In all honesty I can't say for certain that it's due to the food change but it's odd how he now absolutely refuses to eat it. We tried different techniques and he will eat around the treats we bury in it or just not eat it at all. He's still motivated by food, just not the jd anymore.
