Hill's Prescription Diet Gastrointestinal Biome Chicken Flavor Dry Dog Food

My dog with IBD suffered from a stomach problem for years, it's sad to watch his symptom worsen every day progressing into an emaciated dog, despite being the doggy living with the healthiest lifestyle (always somebody home with him with an average of 6+hrs playtime per day). It begin with him stealing cheesecake from the table (nobody knew about it), turned into gastroenteritis infection, after antibiotic treatment (which possibly killed normal-healthy stomach bacteria strains), he soon became a sick boy no longer interested in food (walks away from food, treats) with periodical inflammation, bloody diarrhea, and throw-ups that would keep him awake all night. Nothing seemed to solve the problem My dog with IBD suffered from a stomach problem for years, it's sad to watch his symptom worsen every day progressing into an emaciated dog, despite being the doggy living with the healthiest lifestyle (always somebody home with him with an average of 6+hrs playtime per day). It begin with him stealing cheesecake from the table (nobody knew about it), turned into gastroenteritis infection, after antibiotic treatment (which possibly killed normal-healthy stomach bacteria strains), he soon became a sick boy no longer interested in food (walks away from food, treats) with periodical inflammation, bloody diarrhea, and throw-ups that would keep him awake all night. Nothing seemed to solve the problem even with some best quality sensitive dog food out there, nor probiotics that caused even-severe diarrhea. This kibble contains higher moisture compared to typical dry foods. I used it in combination with fecal transplant supplement (DoggyBiome) to restore his stomach bacteria strains. Within 3 days his digestion was back to normal, I stopped the fecal transplant medication a week later, relying solely on this food + probiotic he was still able to yield normal stool. I would highly recommend it to dog owners whose pets are suffering from severe stomach problems. However, knowing this is an expensive product, it is worth giving it a try for a month or two and switching back to less-priced foods once their stomach sets back to a normal state. Particularly for my boy, it was a biome issue having tummy bacteria messed up from antibiotic treatment. This food did a great job (kinda acted as food medicine) at supporting his biome re-establishment and maintaining normal replication. My pup has no problem now eating any food you give to him. … more

Our 11 yr. old Cairn terrier developed on/off pudding type poop for a few months. After having stool samples done that were negative for worms, our Vet suggested limited diet of rice, cottage cheese etc. The poop consistency didn't improve plus with all of the straining the dog was going through, he was passing mucous as well. Called the Vet again, he mentioned that the Hill's dog food rep was in to see him regarding the Gastrointestinal Biome food & left sample bags. The vet asked if I wanted to try it and I did. After feeding our dog Biome for 3 days, his poop became solid again. He will remain on this dog food.

Word of caution, you cannot deviate from this diet by adding another source of food along with it. It most likely will result in soft poop again. Bottom line - great food! … more

I ordered Hills Biome chicken dog food for our French Bulldog. She apparently has digestive issues, so our vet recommended it. It needs to have vet approval which Chewy always gets in a timely manner. The product is usually shipped within 2 days of their receipt, which I greatly appreciate. I can count on Chewy to get it here in time as long as I order it prior to running out of it.

Smells good and easy to eat especially the wet food. The price of the dry and wet food is a little pricey. Time frame from the vet dr prescription to Chewy was a quick turn around and the delivery was also came in a timely manner. Never ran out because of the auto

Our dog was struggling with random vomiting and loose stools and we couldn't figure out what it was. I was told about this dog food from a friend who had great things to say about the results her dog experienced after one month. Our dog has turned a corner since completely transitioning to this food. No more tummy gurgling and random vomiting for almost 3 weeks (it was happening weekly) and he's putting weight back on.

This product was a repeat delivery, at the end, that is not what this review is about. I had to request a return for this product because we lost our girl. Not only did Chewy refund the product, but they told me to donate it to someone that may not be able to afford it. That’s not all, I received flowers from Chewy the next day for our loss. Thank you Chewy, we will order for many years to come for our other fur babies.

My shiba inu had diarrhea problems about every 3 months from 12 weeks to 21 months. Chicken and rice was never enough to treat it and we always ended up at the vet. Fed up with it I asked my vet for a recommendation and this was the food they gave me. He’s been on it for a whole year now and hasn’t had a single bout of diarrhea. His overall stool volume increased which means usually 3 poops a day now. It took a few weeks for us to get on the new routine but he’s adjusted just fine and is doing great. Very much recommend this product for any dogs with recurring diarrhea.

I adopted a 3 yr old black mouth cur last year. He had squishy to liquid consistency poop. I tried 5 sensitive stomach foods, probiotics, pumpkin, nothing worked. Multiple vet visits, blood work, antibiotics. Nothing definite. He started not wanting to eat, and his tummy was gurgling all the time. Definitely was reluctant to try the GastoBiome because of the cost. But, it has worked great. Solid poop after 8 months finally. He had been on it consistently for 3 months now. I can finally take him for a walk, and not have to scrub the grass from him making a mess. He is more active, and you can tell he feels better. Worth the $$$, highly recommend.

My 8 year old Pittie, Sheena, was suffering with loose stools and lethargy after cycling through several brands of food for weight management & sensitive stomach. We even tried senior foods because her energy levels had depleted and she seemed like she was just "growing older." I couldn't watch her suffer any longer, so I took a chance and ordered RX food through Chewy to see if it might help. The very first day I mixed the Hills Gastrointestinal Biome food into her existing senior kibble she made a HUGE improvement. Her energy levels quickly came back, her stool passed as a solid (such a relief for BOTH of us) and my baby-girl started showing more interest in playing again.

We're going for more walks, she's chasing deer in the back yard, and sleeping a lot less than before. I am so grateful to Thrive Affordable Pet Care for approving my order without receiving pre-approval. They truly allowed my girl access to food that won't poison her slowly. Forever grateful. Sheena's quality of life is back, and I fully believe it's directly related to this food. We're be loyal customers for the rest of her natural life. Thank you Hills Prescription Diet. Your food is magic! … more

Neither of our small dogs wanted to eat this dry food. I added bone broth, then I added crushed dog treats, but they still did not like it. Several of the kibbles were a dark color and looked like they were burned - I put aside a bagful to show the vet - they certainly did not look appetizing. One of our dogs is doing well on the Wellness Small Breed food and another is eating kangaroo pate. I am going to give Hill's Gastrointestinal Biome food another try by ordering a case of the wet food, which unfortunately is often out of stock. So far I am not happy with the quality or availability of Hill's prescription products.
