Too costly

Dogbert11

It does help, but it is way too costly to go through 2 25 lb. bags a month. And these now are exempted from any savings deals. Please bring the cost down to more reasonable levels.

Yes, I recommend this product.

My dog is happy again!

Chelsea

My dog started having horrible skin issues, she was itching/licking herself constantly, her skin was black and leather-like, she had constant ear infections, and had less energy and she started losing a lot of hair on her stomach. After a few months of trial and error with our vet, they recommended switching to this food. Ever since she has been on this food her skin condition has healed, she's had her hair grow back, her ears haven't had any issues and she has more energy. Even though the food is pricey seeing my dog back to her normal self is worth it. Only downside is since she's been on this food her nose is extremely dry and it's cracking. We're going back to the vet and will talk about this but it is her only side effect from the food so far and it doesn't seem to bother her at all.

I have only just started feeding my Sadie this food, she has had a terrible time with diarrhea and vomiting liquid. She is on meds and eating well, she loves the food. I don't know if this is the answer to her problem but I am praying it is . Still waiting for test results.

CORN STARCH = FLOUR

Main ingredient is CORN STARCH, you might as well just go buy your dog a bag of flour for 1/10 the cost.

Great dog food for dogs with skin issues

Cristy8878

1 year ago
I buy this food for my dog and it’s the only thing (aside from prescription pills which we are trying to avoid) that has helped him with his skin conditions. For years we struggled constantly being on antibiotics and prescription shampoo all year round for the last 2 yrs. Finally our vet prescribed this brand and bag, it was our last resort before having him on life long medication. It worked for him after about a week or so, skin condition improved significantly.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Great Product

ZD Food

1 year ago
My dog is doing great eating Hills ZD. We give her dry, wet (with water to make gravy) and the treats (we bust these up to make them smaller). But all and all the food has been great for our Wheaton. 3 months and NO upset tummy!!! It is a little expensive but much cheaper than vet trips every month!!!

Repeat delivery

Abi5

1 year ago
It was disappointing. The order couldn’t be delivered because Door Dash was given an incomplete address. I called to rearrange the delivery but the store couldn’t do that. The only thing they could do was get me a refund and then sell me the bag of food at the store. I have this food on repeat delivery which is cheaper than regular store price and gets delivered to my house.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Questions

1 - 9 of 9 Questions
Sort by: Newest Answers

How do I change my prescription dog food order from a 25lb bag to a 17.6lb bag?

  1. You can cancel your current autoship order and place a new order with the smaller bag size. 



Did they change the size of the 25lb bag? With the change of the picture, the bag seems to contain less food. I can fit it in the bin I have where I couldn't before and I also run out quicker. I have repeat delivery and have had to order much sooner. 

  1. It is possible. After our dog being on z/d for two years we had to change her diet as she got pancreatitis. Was it the z/d? Wasn't anything else since that was all she ate.



Has anybody noticed the color of the poop that sacked for a few days if it turns dark brown almost black concerned puppy owner with allergies!!!

  1. No, That has not happened with us and we have 2 dogs age 6 and 8 years old on this dog food.



Did anyone’s dog get worse before getting better? 

  1. My girlie (Ozzie) maintained a status quo, no better and no worse on the z/d. Her allergy symptoms manifest as scratching especially her ears repeated frequent ear infections, She chewed on her front paws.  I answered your question so you can get some idea of how many had decreased symptoms or more/increased symptoms.  She has changed to a different brand of food and is seeing a skin and allergy specialist.  She is showing the first signs of improvement I’ve seen.



Does this food have the S/O+ Shield component?

    Is this dog food grain free?

    1. Sorry! I originally said yes, but I believe I was incorrect.



    I have a 4 months French bulldog and I wanted to know if it’s for puppies too

    1. I'm sorry, I do not know if it is for puppies too. I would ask your vet how they feel about feeding a 4 month old dog the Hills Z/D. My very allergic bubs started eating this brand when he was around a year old. It took a while because I tried different brands and even raw before I tried Hills Z/D. Raw worked well with eliminating his constant itch and red muzzle, but he always had soft stool. Long story short, it seems like my dog is allergic to seafood - and most dog foods have omega-3 from fish oil. In the end, Hills Z/D is amazing for my dog! I believe the soft food version has had recall issues. But the dry dog food hasn't. I hope this is helpful.



    My shelters have been eating this food for years.  However, we just bought a new bag and since we started feeding it to my dogs they have been acting differently.  They leave half of the food in their bowls and don’t seem interested in eating it.  

    1. This happened with my dog, Geo - when I first opened a 25 lb bag! He was hesitant to eat it, and his bowel movements (timing and texture) changed. After a few days (to ensure it was the food), I ordered another bag (17 lb bag so as to not have to throw away a 25 lb bag), and he is back to normal!



    I am doing a food trial using this dog food to rule out food allergies. I noticed there is chicken liver in the food. How is that going to rule out chicken as an allergy? It is the same as chicken in other dog foods correct? 

    1. according to my vet, it is hydrolyzed chicken which means all of the allergens have been taken out
