Hill's Science Diet Adult Oral Care Dry Dog Food

I don’t know if this actually works or not so my review is not based on that. I love the Hills brand so when I saw this bag for Oral Care I got it for my little dogs. I saw the dachshund on the bag and saw that it said for all dogs and sizes and thought it should be fine for my little dogs who weigh behind 8-15 pounds. The kibble is HUGE! Attached are photos for reference. My dogs would not go near it as it couldn’t even fit in some of their mouths. I hope Hills makes another of these for small breeds because this bag is only made for large breed dogs.

Our vet suggested the Science Diet kibble for teeth. I searched all over Chewy but this was all I could find, so I bought it. Vet said it was not the right product. You have to include “prescribed” in your search to find the right product. Chewy, could you make those products easier to find without having to know the secret password? Dogs seem to like the taste. We’re using them as treats. But our small dog swallows them whole, which does no good.

My dog had terrible, stained teeth and I dreaded the thought of taking him to a dog oral hygienist, although he really needed it. I started giving him a handful of these everyday and before I knew it his teeth became a beautiful gleaming white. He is a big black dog and now his teeth are just beautiful and he looks much healthier.

I've always been happy with Hills Science Diet. I ordered the oral care for my 2 Dachshunds, Willie and Waylon. Neither of them will eat it as the bites are just too big for them and they just dont like it. I reached out to Chewy for a suggestion of a similar substitute with smaller bites for my next auto ship but havent received a response. Not to waste the food I have tried feeding it to my Lab but no luck, she doesnt like it either. Willie and Waylon are Rescues so I do not know their exact age but know they are Seniors. They cant chew like a Puppy anymore. :(

The kibbles are indeed large but that’s what makes them perfect for us. This food prevents a lot of upset stomach and puke clean-up for me and my dog. My 65pound standard poodle is not in love with food. He will eat, but not with any enthusiasm. He also won’t eat on a schedule or eat a prescribed amount of food. He just eats when he’s hungry and ready and sometimes he waits a little too long. Sometimes we end up in situations where I need to go somewhere and his stomach is still empty because he hasn’t decided to eat yet that day. This food saves the day because he likes it just enough that I have convinced him it’s a treat. So he only gets it as a reward and when I desperately need him The kibbles are indeed large but that’s what makes them perfect for us.

It keeps his stomach settled and makes me worry a little less about him having well rounded nutrition since I am able to use it in place of treats. Originally a vet recommended this food to increase my dogs fiber intake. My dog has some anal glad difficulties, and the fiber has helped some with that. The other big benefit for us is the scraping action. The kibbles are designed to brush up against plaque and my dog has a slightly tilted lower jaw so regular sized kibble doesn’t create much friction on certain areas of his mouth and he needs extra attention given to his teeth. Unfortunately this stuff isn’t the same as going in for a dental cleaning but it certainly helps with maintenance. … more

My vet recommended this food. I have a 13 pound dog and the label says it’s for any breed and any size dog. The size of these kibbles are ridiculous. And they’re hard as rocks. I have to hammer them into pieces in order for my dog to be able to even begin to eat them. I’m gonna have to give away a 30 pound bag of this food and lose 60 bucks because this is completely mislabeled.

My Doberman turned 5 in March and has been struggling with a little bit of stinky breath. So I thought I would give this food a try. When I got the food I was excited, oddly the food smelled very fragrant and I thought he’d enjoy it. I had an idea the kibble was going to be very large but didn’t realize how large it really was going to be. He would try and chew it but just end up swallowing it and barfing up each meal. Do this food did not work out for us at all which I am really upset about :( I had such high hopes and was so excited to give it a try reading good reviews of it. Waste of money on this one for us.

I have a very picky great dane, but he absolutely loves this kibble. I mostly use it for treats as it is a larger kibble, which we refer to as "nuggets" (they are about the size of a quarter). He will constantly run over to the bag to ask for them!

My dogs refuse to eat this food. My dachshund can't get his mouth around it to eat because the bites are so large and hard. I tried breaking it up smaller but he still won't eat it. My golden retriever just refuses to eat it.

This food was recommended by my animal dentist. Both my large & medium dogs prefer this food to any other. Wish it came in a bigger bag. Great product for medium size and up. Helping keep their teeth clean as well.
