It is recommended to follow at least a 7-day transition plan before exclusively feeding your pet a new food. Start by mixing 75% of your pet's current diet with 25% of the new diet on Day 1 and Day 2. On Day 3 and Day 4, mix 50% of the current diet with 50% of the new diet. On Day 5 and Day 6, mix 25% of the current diet with 75% of the new diet. On Day 7, you can feed your pet the new food exclusively. Ask your Veterinarian about the best way to transition your pet to a new food.

Why is this alway out of stock
By 1cinful on Jul 21, 2021
My yorkie isn’t even 8 pounds and the small bites are perfect for her. She doesn’t have a lot of teeth either. We tried several different kinds and they didn’t help her stomach problems. But this one helps. Only problem is it’s out of stock every time I try to reorder. The larger pieces are to big so I have to put them in a blender just long enough to break them up. So yes it works but who knows if it will be in stock.

Z/D Hills SD Small Bites
By Cate on May 25, 2021
I think I've finally found a food my Italian Greyhound doesn't get sick on. I was getting the large bites, which also does well, but he's got a tiny mouth and the small bites work much better (pea size). Just wish it wasn't the price of a small house.

Thanks Chewy
By Nickname on Jun 26, 2021

substation
By SadiesMom on May 20, 2021
My sweet pup has a very Sensitive tummy. Science Diet Z/D has been a God send. She is a 50 pound Terrier mix. The small bites isn’t really the best for her, but it will do in a pinch.

My dog will eat it
By MsEllieA on Mar 21, 2021
My dog will eat the Hill's prescription ZD food. She isn't crazy about it, but it helps prevent her from scratching and biting herself so much. I've tried other foods, they seemed to help for a while, then she went back to being itchy. I hope this continues to help.

IBD approved
By Roosmomma on Feb 16, 2021
So my toy poodle has IBD and this was our only option. I was doubtful and worried that he wouldn’t like this hydrolyzed diet bc the can version never worked out for us before (it’s like pudding and hard to prepare) this kibble was a hit for our buddy. He loves it, is excited to eat again, and no issues with his stool on this one or any of the usual bouts of vomit. I’m grateful and chewys customer support is amazing as always ! Thank you chewy!!!
