Picky Shiba Pup Loves It
By Simon on Mar 3, 2021
We had our Shiba pup on Royal Canin which was what the breeder sent us home with. He never seemed to care much for it but we kept trying anyway, hoping he'd grow to like it. When Royal Canin went out of stock every where we kept seeing recommendations for Hill's Science and decided to give it a try. Suddenly our pup is eating regularly without us having to hand feed him while sitting on our lap! This also seems to be easier on his stomach so less need for adding pumpkin to his dinner bowl. So glad that we had to switch, we are all so much happier!

The accidental Puppy food
By ChiChi on Feb 28, 2021
I was in line at the local pet store getting a puppy food I really had no idea about. When the ladies in front of me forgot an item. Therefore the cashier checked me out next and charged me for the lady in front of me! Obviously she has a puppy too! Since I had already paid for it I kept it along with the puppy food I picked up! My puppy rather would eat the science diet that I accidentally purchased! I do mix the two but I am ordering another bag of Hill science diet puppy food again! Thank you lady who forgot something! You saved my puppy!

Great Food
By Micka28 on Feb 26, 2021
I started using Hill Science Diet for my older dog Harmony. She has arthritis in her hips and after a month of using the HSD mobility food she was walking much better. We recently got a German Shepherd puppy and put him on Hill Science Diet Healthy Puppy. Chaos just loves it. His coat is super shiny. He is growing well and our vet told us this is one of the best dog food out there. It can be a little pricey but it’s totally worth it.

Good for puppies
By Yummy on Apr 7, 2021
These tiny kibbles are good for my mini Australian labradoodle puppy. Some of the larger puppy kibbles were too challenging for him and he got tired when eating. I also use them a tiny training treats.

Easier pet shopping
By sosmegod on Mar 17, 2021
I recommend Chewy for the ease of shopping in the comfort of your own home. The products are great. My dogs love the treats and the toys. The autoship is great and very helpful, no more rushing to the store because I forgot we were out of dog food.

The kibbles r a great size for tiny puppies. The breeder we bought our pup from had her on Hills puppy. We r keeping her on it. She likes it and seems to be doing just fine on it.

Our Frenchie’s Favorite Food
By sj17 on Mar 7, 2021
My dog is so picky about her food but she devours this! She very slowly ate other brands of food and almost never finished her portions but she gets so excited to eat this that we had to buy a slow feeder so she’d stop inhaling it.

Hills Science Diet Puppy is good for your puppy.
By Perfectbratgirl94 on Feb 14, 2021
I had gotten this brand of puppy food with my puppy purchase (among other things, our breeder was wonderful). He loves this so much and it is so good for him with all of the nutrients that a growing puppy could want and definitely needs. Would recommend to anyone.
