My jack Russell puppy started to have diarrhea, after almost three weeks on beneful puppy chow. His breeder had him on PurinaOne, but we didn’t think the switch would be too bad since it’s the same brand. Sadly, he started to have some serious diarrhea, he was still eating and drinking but just had runny poop. Took him to the vet just to double check that he was okay, and she recommended this. This is his first day on it, but he seems to love it! Will update later on his belly issues if I can, but it’s an easy to digest formula and it’s premium quality. I can’t imagine it won’t work for him, here’s to hoping, and here’s to better nights sleep for him and me both.

I have used Science Diet for years and I have never had any sick or unhealthy puppies (I breed Yorkies) or adult fur babies!!! The price I get from Chewy is fantastic and the delivery time is awesome!!! I also have gotten treats and I get all my male wraps from them... they are really great!! No hassles at all.... love, love, love them!!

I have two Beagle-Daschund mixes. One boy one girl. The boy gobbles this stuff up. The girl doesn’t like it so much. She is very picky though. The food is very stinky, but what dog food isn’t? I love that it comes in small bites, as it is easier for my pups to digest (because sometimes I think the boy swallows this stuff whole).

Have been feeding Hill's small puppy bites mixed with canned food to my nursing mom before and all through her nursing experience. Now the puppies are eating it on there own and they are all the picture of health.

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!

Puppy Healthy Development food was recommended by the breeder that we received our baby Pug from. She really likes it and seems to be thriving.

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.
