I have not had the opportunity to start feeding. However, with the price of this dog food, attention should be given to the bag before packing. It should not be open and I should not have to pick up half a bag of loose dry dog kibble! So very DISAPPOINTED in Chewy not Hills!

This is the second time I’ve ordered this food and both times the box came with tons of tiny ants inside. They were crawling all over the inside of the box and the outside of the food bag. I was very worried they were also in the food, but after careful inspection it didn’t appear so. Not sure if the ants are coming from where the items are being packaged or held prior to shipping or what. Still grossed me out and considering just buying direct from Hill’s next time to see if that’s any different.

Kidney care food.

So far it is unbelievable how Chester is doing. We switched to kidney care as well as his medicine and practices reversed his lab outcomes. He being 14 yrs. Old

So far it is unbelievable how Chester is doing. We switched to kidney care as well as his medicine and practices reversed his lab outcomes. He being 14 yrs. Old it was great it also has the mobility element to it. We will see if this continues with his next set of labs.

My dog didn't like it

Buy in the store in case you have to return it, better than print a label and take it to mail and then wait 3 to 7 days then maybe you get you money back...

Dog refuses to eat it

Hunger is there. Will eat everything but this. Even soaked it in chicken broth. She drank the broth and left the kibble alone.

I cant get my dog to eat this. She tried once and the food is so small that she choked the following day, throwing up the dog food. I spend a lot of money on this food so I may see if I can crush it up for her to eat.

Won't eat it

My dog absolutely refuses to eat this food. I have tried everything to get him adjusted to it and he just will not and backs away if you try to put it near him.
