What is the sodium and potassium content in this kibble?


What is the difference between this and your other Senior 7+?

Answer by ChewyFeb 07, 2021
The difference between this 7+ Senior recipe and other Hill's 7+ Senior recipes is that recipe is formulated with a smaller kibble for small and toy breeds.

My 8yr old Chorkie currently eats your Science Diet sensitive stomach adult small and mini bites chicken flavor dry dog food. Will this 7+senior version still be relatively easy on his stomach? What benefits does this senior version offer my senior dog?

Changed the size of kibbles, now my dog will not eat it

I have had my dog on this food for about 2 years now after many failed food trials and this food has been the only kibble he will eat as he is the pickiest chihuahua

I have had my dog on this food for about 2 years now after many failed food trials and this food has been the only kibble he will eat as he is the pickiest chihuahua known to man. Before receiving my most recent bag, this would have 5 stars, but sadly, my dog hates the teeny tiny pieces. He already likes to swallow his food whole, so the larger pieces helped him to slow down and chew, but these teeny tiny pieces are so small he can probably inhale them with a breath. We love hills and refuse to switch brands as it has done nothing but improve his overall health and demeanor and I would love to keep him on the food he has been on for years, I’m just worried now that he is refusing food again. We have seen our vet to make sure it is not health-related, and he also thinks my dog is just picky. Hills, my dog and I love you and your food, please if you have any bags of the slightly larger pieces we would love to take them off your hands

Seems like a good choice for senior dogs

This really old guy, likes the small size. Most times he likes the taste, but as with all really old guys, some days he doesn't much feel like eating without enticing

My Norfolk Terrier is 10 years old but he is thriving and still acts like a playful puppy. I like to rotate his kibble and wet food to keep mealtime exciting for him, although he will happily eat anything that is put in front of him. Hills is one of the brands I feel confident feeding, along with Purina, Open Farm, Stella and Chewy, and a few others. Chewy has made it incredibly easy for us to keep his favorite foods stocked and delivered right to our door. The convenience, reliability, and variety they offer give me peace of mind, and most importantly, keep my dog happy and healthy. Five stars all around!

Gracie Loves it!

Our little Gracie, a Shih-Poo is 8 years old. She recently had a urine test which showed oxalate crystals. The ver didn’t feel we should put her on Prescription dog food but recommended a low protein dog food. After much research, I found Hill’s offered the Senior Vitality with lower protein. Since she doesn’t drink a lot of water, I started mixing her dry food with warm water, and give her the canned version food on the side. She loves both!! Since they’re lower in calories than regular dog food, it’ll keep her weight under control. She’ll get her urine checked in two months so we’ll see if this food is working like I hope it will.

We had to get a new food since his last one was discontinued. He’s about 12 years old (rescue), and we’ve been together the last 6 years. He has a lot of medical issues (collapsing trachea, high blood pressure, heart murmur and joint issues). It is important to me that he enjoys his food and remains healthy. This food is small for him (he is a Yorkie / Shih Tzu mix) and about 14 lbs. This is also from a brand I trust.

Easy transition

We were already using the adult mini bites and I decided to try the senior vitality since all three are 8 yrs old. They all seem happy with it
