Hill's Science Diet Puppy Large Breed Lamb Meal & Brown Rice Recipe Dry Dog Food

The food changed with the yellow lab puppy sitting down was always the chicken when I received the bag it was lamb I didn't realize the food was different until my dog spit it out and didn't want to eat it. I have to make sure I order the yellow lab puppy standing up

Refused to eat after 1st bag

One of the few brands with a chicken free giant breed specific formula with the correct calcium/protein ratios. Our pup loved the first bag, cleared up the upset he was getting with Hills science chicken and oats formula. Hagrid is 7 months, 85lb and with first bag scarfed down his normal 6.5-6.75 cups a day. With the 2nd bag he is refusing to eat it, would rather not eat for almost 24 hrs then eat it. Eats all other dry food fine. Not sure what's up, maybe something off with the bag. Will try another bag of it or maybe just another brand.

Good start

Dog lives this. Previously fed the chicken flavor at age 3-4 mos, has only been on lamb for a week since transitioning. Will update after he's eaten a few bags but his growth and weight gain seems to be what's expected.

the vet reccomended this - and my dog loves it

He’s just about one year old. I’ll probably keep feeding him this brand for another two or three months, before switching him to adult kibble. But this is such a trusted brand with good nutrition for growing puppies!

Shouldn't have changed formula :-(

My German Shepherd puppy loved the original formula so much so that I had to purchase a slow feeder, but with the new formula, he just walks away and won't eat it.

Trouble adjusting

My pups have sensitive tummies. They’ve been on royal canin golden retriever for much of their lives. We wanted to test a new protein but even with a lengthy transition, they’re still having a bit of diarrhea. Maybe the lamb is too rich. We’ll give it another week.

great, but too much.

M pup is now 11 months old, turning 1 year in less than 3 weeks. She has been on this particular dog food since she began eating. Unfortunately due to the price increase and the poundage being taken away, I will be changing her dog food.

Great Food! Disappointed in new price

Indy loves the food. Small dimes size crunchy bits. Recently the bag size decreased with an increase in price. We will be changing the food.

3 German Shepherds Love It!

I bought this for the first time for my 3 German Shepherds (one only 6 months old) because I wanted something comparable to Royal Canin with a bit of a price reduction. Bowls are emptied quickly, which means they love it, and it provides them with an abundance of energy.

Caused Stomach Upset

We've been searching for a more cost-effective food than the RC Boxer Puppy we currently feed. I also want to buy foods that fall in line with the guidelines of safe foods based on DCM issues that have been happening with grain-free varieties. This food came well recommended in some of my boxer groups, so thought I would give it a try. One of our boxer puppies loves this food, although it does make his stool a bit soft. But our other boxer puppy did not do well at all. His stools almost immediately became runny. Such a bummer because it is much more cost-effective than what I am currently feeding them. I'm sure it is fine for some puppies, just didn't work out for us. The hunt for a cost-effective food continues.
