Turned out to be a good choice....
By Cookie on Dec 30, 2018
My dog, Sugar, is a very picky eater especially when it comes to dog kibbles. Since the vet had recommended Science Diet for my new puppy, Knuckles, I figured I'd try Sugar on the adult light small bites food at the same time. At first she was a little picky, but now really enjoys it. I ordered from Chewy.com because I knew that it would get here fast. They never disappoint. Highly recommend Chewy.com.

I love it!!!!!
By Shimene on Jan 27, 2019
It’s the only thing I feed my pups. My older dog used to have trouble digesting food. Switched to this and have used for years and he’s been great! He’s 13 now and in perfect health as are his siblings!! Nothing but good things to say about this food.

WISH I'D HAVE DONE THIS EARLIER!

Very Happy
By jldcd on Dec 14, 2018
I switched my little dogs from the regular Small Bite Science Dog Food to this product. I was reluctant because dogs sometimes don't adapt easily to changes in food. They immediately ate it. We love that kibble is much smaller than the regular formula small bite. No digestive issues in the transition. I am super happy with this product. It has been about two weeks and the transition couldn't have been smoother!

Awesome dry food
By Donna on Feb 5, 2019
My overweight 2 yr old dog did not like any dry dog food. Decided to try light weight Hill's Science Diet and he actually liked it. Would highly recommend for any overweight dog.

Awesome Delivery
By Twinkie on Jan 27, 2019
The delivery was absolutely fast. My dog likes this food but eats less of it than his previous kind. I am sure its because it has less fat in it than his other kind. I love how small the kibbles.

Picky dogs
By GoodNFun on Jan 15, 2019
Although my pups are picky, they seem to like this brand of kibble. I especially like the size. I had to change all 4 to Hills Science Light because one is diabetic. All transitioned well.

Love this food!
By Rachelle on Dec 19, 2018
Adult Fitness was great—this is lighter—less calories, more fiber. My dogs gobble up both—smells good too!!. I can afford to feed them a bit more per day for the same calories. Bonus is their poops are predictable now, morning and night and easy to pass. Win/Win!
