Does science diet puppy contain chicken by products?
Answer by • May 29, 2020
The Hill's Science Diet Puppy Healthy Development Small Bites Dry Dog Food does not contain chicken-by-products.
How to switch to different food, percentage to old & new?
Answer by • 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.
We have a puppy who is about 5 pounds and close to 4 months old. We have her now on Small paws, but since she is bigger now want to go with the next bigger size kibble. Are the ingredients the same?
Answer by • Dec 03, 2019
At this time, Hill's Science Diet offers (3) three puppy formulas that would be suitable for a small breed puppy. Each of the formulas has chicken as it's main protein, however the rest of the ingredients may differ between them. The Puppy Health Development Small Bites has a kibble size of 7.3 x 4.5 millimeters (mm), the Puppy Small Paws is 7.5 x 4.5 mm, and the regular Puppy recipe is 10 x 4 mm.
Can large breed puppies eat this?
Answer by • May 25, 2020
Animal feeding tests using AAFCO procedures substantiate that Hill's Science Diet Puppy Small Bites Chicken & Barley Recipe Dog Food provides complete and balanced nutrition for growing puppies and gestating or lactating adult female dogs.
We recently got our puppy and had her on PawTree chicken & oat. After seeing the veterinarian, she suggested incorporating this brand for her to get some grain into her diet as well. We were told that grains are important for heart development (I always thought they were bad fillers). So we mix the two fifty/ fifty now and she LOVES this new flavor!

Growing puppy
I have a lab mix puppy.
She’s been growing steadily on Hill Science. She much prefers chicken flavor over lamb. The small bites are easier for her as she’s teething.
Chewy’s prices are way better than Petco’s.

My puppy loves this & her tummy is never upset. Yay!
I adopted my pup & the foster Mom was feeding her this. I bought it for a smooth transition. My puppy loves this and it is my first time buying Science Diet. I will continue using this brand!

peppercorn bites
Puppy food kibbles should not be the size of peppercorn, These kibbles are so small and completely round my puppy cannot hold it in his mouth, after several tries he stop eating his food. This food looks like a mouse dropping. disgusting, complete waste of money.

My dog loves it
My dog is a very picky eater, she has turned down 4 other dry dog foods but she eats Hills Science dog food. I was so surprised when she ate it without anything added to it. I can tell the difference in the way the food smells compared to other dry dog food.

Two small
The kibbles are soo small that both my puppies have a hard time eating it. Just like the other reviewer, kibbles should not be that tiny.

Hills Puppy
This was what they were feeding Bear from the rescue. He likes it so I’m not changing anything about his food.
