Smaller bag same price
By carol21 on Feb 26, 2019
Don't know what the deal with the Hill's company is, but they've made the bag 2 and a half pounds less and it's basically the same price. Don't know if it's just this blend of all their products.

Sweet babygirl loves it.
By Wilma on Dec 10, 2018
Our Wilma just loves the Hill Science Diet food better than anything else. She needs to lose 10lbs so we bought the lite. This product was recommended by our vet. Chewy saves us money on every order. We love the convenience of using Chewy. So thank you for everything.

Effective 9.1% price hike with new 30 lb bag.
By Lassie on Mar 8, 2019
Great product, but making the 33lb bag 3 lb smaller for the same price is a 9.1% price increase.

My dog happily will eat!
By Susan26 on Oct 24, 2018
I just learned that my Old English Sheepdog is overweight. I was feeding him Hills Science large breed lamb and rice which he loves. This food will save him a significant amount of calories a day. Thank goodness he just gobbles it down. I like the smaller size kibble too for him. His stools are better formed and makes him go to the bathroom more often too. Too soon to tell if he’s lost weight but will keep feeding this to him in hopes that it will because I know it’s a slow process for a dog to lose weight.

Vet recommended!
By Labbmom on Oct 14, 2018
Our two Labs had put on some weight, so the vet recommended this food for them. They gobble it up, and both have lost weight as a result. Of course plenty of exercise goes along with the low calorie food!
