Please take the auto puppy Hill science off auto. I have it coming from two different auto orders. Don’t need one until March 25 like I requested one second auto

How do I cancel auto ship bc he no longer eats this food.

How to switch to different food, percentage to old & new?

Answer by Chewy • Aug 22, 2018
This varies depending on the individual dog. It could take 5-7 days. For example: Day 1-2: 25% New / 75% old Day 3-4: 50% New / 50% old Day 5-6: 75% New / 25% old Day 7: 100% If your dog is experiencing upset through the transition, then you can lessen the ratio as you see fit.

Healthy pups

Two months ago, I rescued two very sick puppies. Our vet gave me a sample bag of Hills Science diet for puppies w/sensitive tummies (chicken), along with medicine

Two months ago, I rescued two very sick puppies. Our vet gave me a sample bag of Hills Science diet for puppies w/sensitive tummies (chicken), along with medicine and more medicine. Because these puppies were so sick when I got them, the vet suggested they may have permanent damage to their stomachs. They have been on Science diet small bites for 2 months and they are finally off medicine and have solid stools. No more vomiting blood and pooping blood. No more diarrhea. No more emergency trips to the veterinarian! Thank you Science Diet. My puppies look healthy! They have a twinkle in their eyes, their coats are coming in soft, silky and shiny. The 7 month old is no longer 5 lbs 1 oz but is over 10 pounds....the black pup. Her growth is most likely stunted but she is no longer, as the vet said, 'frail.' They finally play and seem to be the happiest puppies with tons of energy! Even though the black pup will never reach the full size of cocker spaniel, she and her buddy are filling out nicely!!! Finally a dog food I can trust to be what it is supposed to be!!! Thank you for making a product that is helping our fur babies live a long HEALTHY life.

You can adjust this draft to further tailor it to your needs and use Grammarly Free's suggestions to ensure your final product shines. My pup has really thrived on this food! The previous brand just didn’t sit well with his sensitive stomach. As always, Chewy came through with swift delivery. I highly recommend this for anyone with a little furry friend who has food sensitivities!

My puppy liked it

I had to hide this from the other girls so it must taste really good. Bella for some reason only ate it when I accidently spilled it on the floor versus eating from

I had to hide this from the other girls so it must taste really good. Bella for some reason only ate it when I accidently spilled it on the floor versus eating from her dish. Description says its healthy and Bella is a healthy sweet little one.

Freshness

Hill's bites are a great size for our puppy. She's in between her puppy teeth and adult teeth. The bites stay fresh in her bowl after meals if she leaves bites

Hill's bites are a great size for our puppy. She's in between her puppy teeth and adult teeth. The bites stay fresh in her bowl after meals if she leaves bites for interim snacking. She ultimately cleans the bowl of all bites.

Good product

Ziggy loves this food. I didn't realize I had ordered "small bites" that scatter everywhere when our spazzy puppy trips on his dish. But it's still good nutrition
