Customers say

Customers overwhelmingly praise this dog food for transforming mealtime and supporting long-term health. Most note that even picky eaters eagerly consume it, with the small kibble size particularly ideal for small breeds. Many report significant improvements in weight management, digestion, and coat quality, with firmer stools and sustained energy levels. Veterinarians frequently recommend it, and customers often use it for years with strong loyalty. A few mention concerns, but the vast majority consider it a trusted, effective dietary solution for their dogs.

Purchased Hill’s ever since I got my baby 8yrs ago and has been great for his digestive system and his health. I wouldn’t change his routine as this food has been effective.

I have two older Shetland Sheepdogs that were getting a bit pudgy on the Sensitive Stomach and Skin, so I switched them to Light. In two and a half months, they've each dropped roughly 10% of their weight and are looking so much better.

Questions

1 - 10 of 23 Questions

Is this foodgrain free?

  1. It is not grain-free. We switched from a grain-free food to Science Diet based on our vet's recommendation, as she said new research has shown grain-free diets can cause heart problems.



Is this good for a 41/2 year old Boston Terrier that is very active

  1. It’s a diet dog food so you might need to increase the amount you serve if your dog is active and at a normal weight. 



Would this be safe for my 7 month old toy poodle? She is currently 5.5 pounds.

  1. Thank you for your inquiry. Our Hill's Science Diet Adult Light Small Bites dog food is specifically formulated for adult dogs 1-6 years of age that require fewer calories (i.e. dogs that are less active, neutered or otherwise prone to weight gain). We would not recommend feeding this formula to your pup unless you have approval from your trusted veterinarian. Hill's Pet Nutrition



Good for French Bulldog?

  1. I don't see why not. It meets the needs of my Dachshunds and they are similar in size to a French Bulldog. As far as dietary needs go, this meets the needs of my dogs and should be great for yours as well!



which Hill's Science do you recommend for a mini dachshund ? not looking to lose weight but to eat right and healthy he weighs 13.4 pounds , slim pretty male, Royal Canin seems a little rich and is having issues with his ana glands getting full often

  1. small bites



How many kcals are there in this product??

  1. According to the bag, calorie content (calculated) is 2987 kcal ME/kg; 271 kcal ME/cup.



Would this food; Hill's Science Diet Adult Light Small Bites be good for an older dog also?

  1. My dogs are both 12 and have happily and healthily been on this food since the age of three. My veterinarian approves of their diet as well as me being a satisfied buyer.



Is this food made in the USA?

  1. Above it states from manufacturer.  Look at the pictures of dogs.  “Made in USA with global ingredients you can trust. We only accept ingredients from suppliers who meet stringent quality standards.”



What food would be best for 7 would be best for a dog that has problems with his glands in the rear end? He is also bloated all the time from every dog food I try that is inexpensive. Please help?

  1. Hill's Science Diet Adult Light Small Bites Chicken Meal & Barley Dry Dog Food. Our two beagles have been eating this food since they went off Science Diet puppy food over 10 years ago. Our beagles have never needed to be expressed....and VERY rarely have stomach issues. They are rarely itchy, have shiny coats, and ton of energy. They only eat this science diet with fruit and vegetables occasionally as treats. And a dental stick as a night-night snack. Their poop is solid, small and easy to pick up in the poop scoop. This food is NOT CHEAP, but we have never had to buy supplements.



Hills Science Diet Light Small Breed is 7% min crude fat...what is the maximum crude fat???

  1. Thank you for your question. This food has a fat content of 9.0 % on a dry matter basis. We hope this helps!
