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.

Unbelievable
By KeyKey on Oct 14, 2020
I’ve tried science diet in the past for my F1B Goldendoodle. He didnt like it and I wasn’t impressed. So I gave away the bag of food and tried something new. He has had diarrhea twice this year. The first time chicken and rice helped and got him going. This time some medicine upset his stomach and he had horrible diarrhea for a week. The vet suggested this prescription food and I was hesitant. I purchased it anyway and after one meal his bowels returned to normal. And he actually likes this food. I didn’t have to transition him to this food bc he was on boiled chicken and rice for a week. I didn’t expect the results I got and especially that soon. His Stool was really normal after one meal.

Finally something worked!
By Ozzysmom on Oct 23, 2020
A fellow frenchie owner suggested this food as it was great for hers. I cannot thank her enough! Finally! No runny stools, no gas and he likes it! I saw a difference in under 12 hrs from switching hi to this food. I tried, grain free, grain inclusive, singular proteins, boutique brands. Hydrolyzed by royal canin was good, but he HATED it. Refused to eat it! This is the best results, happy Tummy, easy poop clean up, and he loves the taste! HIGHLY RECOMMEND for fellow frenchie owners with iffy stomachs.

Unbelievable!
By Postiepaws on Oct 10, 2020
This food was recommended after several attempts with meds and other prescription foods. FINALLY a food that worked to solidify our pup’s stool. Berners have such sensitive belly’s. So when our 4 year old has a problem we feed him this food. Our puppy is still on it. Afraid to transition him. Just wish it came in a bigger bag and a bit less expensive. They both love it and eat it right up. But they do poop more but at least it’s solid and not runny!!

THIS FOOD IS AMAZING!!!
By Shelby on Sep 15, 2020
My puppy had constant had diarrhea or soft stool. He had multiple fecal tests, he was dewormed, on medication, probiotics and nothing helped so my vet put him on this and omg within 2-3 weeks he was perfect. I never thought o could be so happy about a dog having normal poop! We kept him on it for 3 months to really ease his system and weaned him off of it SLOWLY over a 2 week period to regular adult food and he did great. This food is a LIFE SAVER! I’ll be honest he didn’t love the taste, but it’s high fiber so I would guess it doesn’t taste the greatest. I mixed in a VERY small amount of canned food and water, some hills i/d and sometimes just generic canned food and he gobbled it up. The food My puppy had constant had diarrhea or soft stool.

Finally a food to solve IBD issues
By Bouvmom on Sep 25, 2020
My 7 year old Bouvier has been plagued with chronic GI issues his whole life - until 6 weeks ago. He has been on Royal Canin and Hill's prescription diets for 4 years and still had soft to loose stools and occasional vomiting. Since he started Hill's Biome he has added a few much needed pounds, his coat has a nice shine and texture AND his stools are firm and easy to pick up. Here's hoping Hill's maintains the quality and the formula that has made this Biome "magic" for my dog.

By JARG on Oct 23, 2020
My dog has a very sensitive stomach and has IBS. Had a really bad month of vomitting and runs. Vet changed her to this food and her stomach has been back to normal since we started. Has worked for us and she likes the food and eats without extra toppings like I had to give her on old food to coax her into eatting

Chewy is always there to help. They called my Veterinarian and got the prescription dog food I needed. No hassles on my part. Got it ordered and was fresh and always in good time in good shape in the box when it arrived. I am so blessed to have a good place to get what you need to take care of our beloved pets.

The only food that worked!
By Alyssa on Aug 31, 2020
Our puppy had watery diarrhea 5x per week from when we got him at 12 weeks old until he went on this food at 6 months old. He did have giardia and coccidia as a young pup (at around 7 weeks), but it was cleared out of his system by 12 weeks and hasn't shown up again. We had tried everything -- rice and chicken, pumpkin, pasta and ground turkey, antibiotics, everything. Finally, our vet put him on this food, which he has been on for about 9 months now. He has not had any diarrhea since starting this food and he seems to like it as well! I would definitely recommend this to anyone whose dog has GI issues. It's a bit expensive, but honestly, I think we are saving money by not having to go to the Our puppy had watery diarrhea 5x per week from when we got him at 12 weeks old until he went on this food at 6 months old.

Grateful!!!
By Gigi on Aug 9, 2020
I don't generally take the time to write reviews but I feel so strongly about this product I needed to share our success story in an effort to help others. Our 14 year old lab mix had 2 abdominal surgeries and chemotherapy for an intestinal cancer six years ago. Additionally, he was diagnosed with spinal stenosis a little over a year ago. Overall he still does quite well, with a hearty appetite and desire to go on his daily mile walks. Unfortunately, his ailments have left him with fecal incontinence and severe diarrhea for about 8 months. We tried many prescription diets, probiotics, and homemade food but nothing helped. Then we started him on Science Diet and our world changed.

He has been on this new diet for almost a month and has had no issues with loose stools. We even use the kibbles for both of our dogs' daily treats. Thank you, thank you Science Diet. We are beyond grateful and thrilled to see our old guy with no stomach upset nor diarrhea!! … more
