Surprised.

I was nervous starting my 2 Chihuahuas on this food as they can be picky sometimes and one has a sensitive stomach. I'd say the first thing I've noticed is a difference in their poop; it doesn't stink as bad. They never eat plain kibble so I also mix cooked food on top. Some days they'll leave the kibble and most days they'll eat it. I'm hoping this has good benefits for them in the long run while they are growing older! Will continue buying.

cans were once again dented and damaged

I can only imagine they are taking cans from a case of 24 and packing them in a smaller box but they are doing this with damaged cans. I'm not feeding my dog damaged cans because the last cans which I asked to be replaced appeared to have mold in them. This process of selling the smaller amounts does not appear to be effective. I won't order this again.

My 55 pound boy, Wilbur, will be 16 years old next month. He has eaten Hill's Science Diet kibble mixed with Hill's Science Diet canned since he came home with me when he was 8 weeks old. He's living a long, happy, and active life. I feel good about feeding him Science Diet that I've had on auto ship from Chewy for years!

Poor packaging

When I picked up the box from the porch o could hear rattling inside, something loose. When we opened the box, the dog food bag was opened and had spilled food all over the box. Grease had set in on the cardboard. Half the bag was emptied in the box and I was concerned to use the remainder of the bag, not knowing how or why the bag was opened. This is not the first time this has happened but it is the first time it has been this bad. I paid for a bag of dog food and could not use it. The cat food (purple box) was destroyed because of the other heavy items in shipping. This is just poor packaging.

Our dogs veterinarian recommended a better quality dog food than what we were feeding her and recommended this food for our senior girl. Wow in just five days, we could tell a difference in her. More vibrant, doesn’t lick her joints like she did. Does not strain when she has to do her business.

Hills Science diet senior adult 7+ SMALL BITES chicken dry dog food. My dog is small at 10 lbs. He's almost 17 years old and missing many of his teeth. This food works great for my dog. Its a solid quality dog food. I add a little warm water to it and let it soak for a few minutes and then stir in a little good canned food as well. (Nutro premium loaf canned w chicken, I get from Chewy) He laps it all up and licks the bowl clean. I feed him this meal two times a day. At his age it's really important that he not skip meals. Sometimes I switch the canned portion to another one of his favorites but I always keep the dry portion the same. Also this Hills small bites food keeps my dog regular. Too much canned food slows his bowels. So using this as a main ingredient keeps his system working properly which is super important especially at his age. I highly recommend.

Nemo passed away last week, but he had eaten this food for many years. He was 17. This bag was only used a little bit:( The shelter where we adopted him took the food even though it was opened. So I was able to pay it forward to the place who gave me him.

I have been using Science Diet for all of my dogs for the last 15 years. They've all been very healthy with healthy weights. The doctor always tells me that that's a great food to have them on and I have never changed it since.
