I have a chihuahua who is 1 (Oreo) and I want to try science diet and I don’t know if o should get the small and mini bites or stay with the small bites. He is 9lbs. Thank you

Answer by Jeannette • Sep 03, 2024
Mine are (2) yorkies at 9 lbs and (1) at 6.5. I use the science diet small and mini. That's what the package says. ( Small & Mini). Has the Yorkie in it. They seem to prefer it.

Do you carry the larger bags?

At one cup a day, how many days does a 15 lbs bag last?

Answer by Chewy • Mar 25, 2018
There will be approximately 4 cups per pound of kibble. The 4.5 pound bag will have close to 18 cups, the 15.5 pound bag close to 62 cups.

Is this grain free?

Answer by Chewy • Apr 19, 2018
This formula is not grain free.

Badly damaged

All the cans were damaged & dented with 2 cans having the tops of the cans opened up. There was spilled canned dog food leaking all through the package. The shipping

All the cans were damaged & dented with 2 cans having the tops of the cans opened up. There was spilled canned dog food leaking all through the package. The shipping box wasn't damaged at all so they can't be to blame. Very unpleased with my first order. More than likely will be my last.

I wanted to get Maverick off of puppy food as he is over a year now and I chose this as he was on Hills food that is about the same. He loves it and gobbles it

I wanted to get Maverick off of puppy food as he is over a year now and I chose this as he was on Hills food that is about the same. He loves it and gobbles it up every meal. I like that he is enjoying his new food and not very expensive. Thank you

Always Dependable

I have been using the Chewy delivery service for a few years now, but it really came in handy when I left for a year long deployment. I had a family member care

I have been using the Chewy delivery service for a few years now, but it really came in handy when I left for a year long deployment. I had a family member care for my dog and Chewy allowed me to set up a recurring auto-ship order for my dog's food. The delivery was always on time and sent me emails throughout the whole delivery process. It eased my stress knowing that my fur baby was in good hands while I was away.

It's not expired?

I don't know how to wax poetic over this dog food, but it is what I expected it to be. My dogs have eaten science diet for years on the advice of a vet friend.
