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.

Amazing food for our GSD
By Kcampbell on Jun 11, 2021
Our 7 yo male GSD began having diarrhea shortly after his sister passed away. We tried everything to get it under control. For months we battled diarrhea and liquid stool. We took away all treats and anything that wasn’t his food. The only thing that would make it stop was flagyl. After the flagyl finished the diarrhea came back. We had him tested for gi disorders and they were all clear. Our vet finally decided it was stress induced colitis. Car rides, which he use to love, walks around the block, anything outside of his normal would give him diarrhea. We began probiotics and Prozac, with decent results, for about two months before we tried this food.

He was previously on hills sensitive stomach until the diarrhea debacle, then we had to put him on hills kidney food bc of poor kidney function from so many rounds of antibiotics. With the probiotics and Prozac he still had mucousy soft poop but no actual diarrhea. Two days after beginning the transition to this food our boy had normal firm stools like he use to. It has been a life saver. … more

No more poop problems!
By GreyhoundOwner on May 26, 2021
My vet recommended Hill's GI Biome kibble as a last resort before exploratory surgery for my greyhound who has had problems with his belly the entire time I've had him. He was plagued with loud gurgling and nausea. His poop consistency was always a gamble: somedays it was liquid, other days grainy, sometimes jelly, others hard as a rock, even when he was eating the same thing every day. He has been on GI Biome for 2 months and I can honestly say he is a different dog. After transitioning him to this stuff he is consistent day after day. He has more energy, he has stopped obsessively licking, seeks out cuddles and attention, and loves his playtime. This food changed my dog's life.

Good for GI Issues
By PotatoPat on Jun 1, 2021
Had some trouble sorting out approval for the food (took a lot longer than normal items to ship). Vet said they gave Chewy authorization and Chewy kept saying they didn’t receive it. I had to follow up with both vet and Chewy, but it finally shipped. Otherwise, the product itself is great. It’s expensive but has been worth it. My dog’s GI issues have cleared up and he seems to enjoy the taste.

Dry Dog Food
By Arrets on May 25, 2021
When my vet suggested this for my dogs diet to help with his liver function, I did not know what to expect. I started adding it to his moist food a little at a time. He is now up to 1/4 cup 2 x a day. when I make his moist food again I will be cutting the servings down so I can add more of the dry. We're going for a balance of both so that his tummy can get back on track. So far I've seen better poops and he has more energy.

Amazing food and delivery!
By Kilo on Jun 2, 2021
My puppy has had stomach issues from the start (he's 8 months now). This food was prescribed to us by the vet when he was 6 months and we now have no issues! The first time I ordered this from chewy it was soooo easy! all I did was list my vet on chewy and check out the food and it arrived less than 24 hours later! Best decision ever!

Noticeable Improvement
By SammysHumanUnit on Jun 9, 2021
Poor Sammy was really struggling with gastrointestinal problems, missing 3-4 morning meals per week and struggling with bowel movements. Since transitioning to Hill's, two weeks ago, she has missed just one meal and other improvements have been noted. This appears to be a positive change.

Speedy delivery!
By Ralphie on May 21, 2021
My dog, Ralphie, has a GI problem and responds very well to this food. I have tried several others but after a veterinary internist recommended this food, I’m sold. He likes the flavor and has gained the 10 lbs that I thought he’d never gain. I no longer need antibiotics or pro/pre/postbiotics. They’re all in the food. The quick delivery was the icing on the cake!

Like a miracle, worked in two days
By Maggie on May 6, 2021
Our seven-month-old Doberman puppy suffered from transient bouts of soft stool which was often full blown diarrhea. We treated, under veterinary supervision, with metronidazole and Panacur, did multiple fecals including giardia screen, with disappointing results. Vet finally put together a treatment plan that included SD Gastrointestinal Biome food and it has worked like a miracle. The puppy's stools were completely formed and normal within two days of starting him on this food. AMAZING!

Finally help for our beagles belly.
By Sylvia on May 8, 2021
My fathers beagle had an issue with constant vomiting and wrenching her body for over 6 months. After $1,000 in medical testing and no results. Someone in Australia told me about this dog food. I found it on chewy.com since I live in America. They shipped it to my door in less than two days of the order. This precious baby is no longer suffering. Word of mouth and chewy.com saved this poor baby from suffering. Thank you, Sylvia Liverpool,NY

The things we do for our pups
By DoggyDebt on May 14, 2021
This food is a prescription food and if it weren't so necessary of course, I'd have never picked it but, that being said, it seems to be working and it is helping with the problems it is designed to help. It is really PRICEY but I was warned of that up front. Chewy is great at getting this to me as I need it.
