I recently got an Australian Shepherd puppy who was still feeding from her mom. Whenever I brought her home, she didn't eat much for a few days which had worried me (I had even soaked the previous food in warm milk). Once I went to the vet for her first visit, I informed him that she isn't eating like she should. He gave me a free 2lb. bag of this food for her to try, and she absolutely loves it! She started eating it right away even without softening with milk! She now eats like a pig and is gaining some weight! Will be purchasing a larger bag very soon!

Our 7 week old mini dachshund love these small bites and we love the convenience of home delivery. We also get out cats food from Chewy on auto delivery. Great service

Hills Science Diet Small Bites is an excellent product. We have been using Hills Prescrition Science Diet can food for our older bull dogs for years. We recently acquired a bull dog puppy and started her on the Puppy Bites dry food. She loves it. The food is easy for her to eat and digest. Bull dogs have an unusually sensitive stomach and digestive track but we have never had one problem with any of the Hills Science Diet food for our bull dogs. I highly recommend their products and in this case the Puppy Bites are outstanding and perfect for our new puppy.

Chewy.com is the best thing that is happened to me in a long time. No more lugging huge bags of pet food or litter. I am on a regular shipping schedule and my animals are the happiest ever. I am never out of treats, customer service is above and beyond, and the shipments come straight to my door for free. How much better can life get. I would definitely recommend any pet owner to this fabulous service. Also need to mention that I am a bit frugal and price compared with every place I have ever bought my specific pet food and litter and they are the cheapest. Life is good :-)

We have had dogs for 19 years and have always fed them Hill's Science Diet. I have tried other dog foods off and on and always go back to Science Diet. The dogs love it, the bites are small enough for little puppies including Yorkie newbies and their waste is always solid and not a lot of it, which tells me that it's a good food for them. My 14 year old Yorkie still eats it. She has no teeth now, so I soak it in water to soften it up rather than get the canned food, which she doesnt care for.
