Questions
How do I change my prescription dog food order from a 25lb bag to a 17.6lb bag?
- You can cancel your current autoship order and place a new order with the smaller bag size.
Helpful?
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.
- 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.
Helpful?
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!!!
- No, That has not happened with us and we have 2 dogs age 6 and 8 years old on this dog food.
Helpful?
Did anyone’s dog get worse before getting better?
- 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?
- 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
- 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.
- 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!
Helpful?
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?
- according to my vet, it is hydrolyzed chicken which means all of the allergens have been taken out

I currently feed my male dog prescription Hill's z/d dry dog food I get from his vet. My female dog, who is on a normal food diet and does not need z/d food, wants to eat only the male's z/d food. It is challenging keeping them separated at meal time. Is there a comparable non-prescription food I can feed my female from Hill's that I can buy from Petco at a (considerably) lower price than the z/d?
Hi how would you compare blue buffalo Rx diet HF hydrolyzed canned food to hills Z/d hydrolyzed rx canned diet? Trying to find an alternative to royal Canin Selected protein Rx diets which Trixie will no longer eat .. nor does she like the hills z/d. Thanks
Our 1 1/2 year old female ragdoll feline started loosing patches of fur for last 2 weeks. No scabs/raw spots on skin. Vetinarian concludes not fleas or ringworm. No known environmental changes or new house products. Now starting Royal Canin Hydrolyzed Protein Adult HP for 2-3 weeks in case it's food allergies. It's $50 for 7.7 lbs. Is there a less expensive equivalent Purina or other brand?? Thanks from Florida.
I have a dog with severe yeast on his belly and feet. I bathe him regularly in medicated shampoo but he’s definitely allergic to ALL sugar. Blueberries have a lot of sugar, didn’t work for him. Peas and carrots had to many. I’ve found the spinach with chicken and beans has helped a lot. He is 6 yrs old. Can you give me any dry dog food options that would even work for him? I did find a Science Diet called Z/D. Right now he can only eat what I prepare.
Whats best dog food w/ zero chicken (no by product etc? has IBD (via ultrasound&GI Panel-no scope) We’ve tried almost all IBD vet food (RC HP, RC low fat GI, Hills...) I have researched & doc. his symps. For a year now &95% positive hes having (bloating after eating, licking/biting paws, loud bowel sounds all worse after eating,normal poop, no vomit)from a food allergy. He’s on pred & meds. Im going to do elimating diet but I want to find food w/no chicken to start off w/during this process
What would be the best wet dog food for her weighing 3.3 lbs. 4 years and has Periodontal desease? And can I purchase at Petco or Petsmart? Thank you
which foods are best for dog with allergies and an enlarged heart
RE: DOG FOOD My dog is eating Hill's science diet 7+ Active Longevity Small Bites (chicken meal, rice & Barley recipe) for years. But I found out Hill's is recalling their dog foods recently and I am worrying the dog food my dog eating now also have the problems. Should I change other brands OR I cook chicken breast with carrot and broccoli for her instead? or other foods you recommend? She had pancreatitis 2 times and consulted the vet and was told she cannot eat too much oily food.
My 7 year old Beagle who has Lupus is taking 5 mg's of Prednisone every other day and needs to lose 10 pounds. Could you please recommend a food.
What kind of a diet would you put a golden retreiver on after being on Z/D diet for 10-12 weeks seeing no difference. Still rolling on carpet and some scratching? and biting at her feet, also some hints on what to do about needing anal gland expressions? Any food additive ?
My two year old black lab has a very sensitive stomach & terrible skin allergies. He is currently eating Taste of the Wild Pacific Stream. I don’t believe this is working for him because he has terrible gas, frequent itching & licking despite taking an allergy medication, & very loose stool. I’ve been told to switch him to a limited ingredient diet, but I don’t know what brand to use. I am also concerned about peas/lentils can affect a dog’s heart.
On the Hills homepage they say that the Hills Prescription diet Derm Defense can be used long term. But my question is if I should use it long term. I jist want a food for my dog that will give her the healthiest life possible, I don't really care about the cost.
