[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My dogs were a huge fan of this dog food. The dog food was the perfect size for both of my dogs. My dogs seemed happier and their coat even looks better too. I would definitely recommend this dog food for anyone looking for something new.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m gonna start with the fact that my dogs are extremely picky especially my older one remi. She doesn’t even like most treats. I gave her this she loves it she ate it over her old food, she ate it over her soft food, and she finishes every day now. I told my brother about it and he gets it for his dog also who loves it. Definitely very happy with this product and will continue to use!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wasn't impressed with this product I expected better ingredients and better quality. My miniature pinscher absolutely hated this food. I tried to slowly transition him from his usual food to this but he wasn't having it. He refused to eat it no matter what I did. Then I compared the ingredient list to his food and by far his excelled and is 3 times cheaper. I'm definitely let down and I do not recommend .

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thank you to Home Tester Club US for sending us the Hill's Science Diet Small & Mini Adult Dry Dog Food - Chicken & Brown Rice. Our dogs have loved this trial and gobble it up as soon as we put it down. The transition to this kibble was easy on their bellies too. It contains high-quality protein for lean muscle maintenance, plus nourishing omega-6s and vitamin E to promote healthy skin and a healthy coat. This dog food is made with natural ingredients and contains a proprietary antioxidant blend that will promote lifelong health for your adult small breed dog! Having good ingredients in our dog's food is important- they're family too! Finding a good product that our pets actually love and enjoy has been a challenge up until we tried this kibble. This food is the winner in our home. Happy bellies in this household!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My dog, Bella, absolutely loves this food. It did not take her long at all to abandon her old food, and only to want this one. The kibble is perfectly sized for small bites, and the flavor attracts my dog. This was a great, healthy switch!

No more stomach cramps and pain!

My Corgi used to have bad gas and painful stomach cramps after he would go outside to do his business. He would just cry and cry and I felt horrible and didn't know what to do for him. The vet gave me some gas pills that helped the symptoms but didn't treat the problem. So on a whem one day while I was in my local feed store I saw a bag of Hills Science Diet that was made for sensitive stomachs and skin, plus it came in a small kibble that's easier for small dogs to chew. My dog immediately took to his new food and loves it much more than the other stuff I was buying. He eats every morning now and hasn't had any stomach issues or cramps ever since I switched him. So Thank You Hills for helping my little buddy out with no more stomach pain.

Questions

Sort by: Newest Answers

What is the difference in the Small Paws vs Small Bites? The Bites says it is real Chicken and the Paws is Chicken Meal -- other than that what is difference and how do you determine between the two?

  1.  Not to sure. Maybe bc one is for puppies and one is for adults. And I believe the food is bigger



There are two sizes in the Hill's Science Diet dog food for small breed; i.e. 4.5 pounds and 15.5 pounds. It takes awhile for my small dog to finish up the 15.5 pounds. If I continue to buy the larger bag, would the dog food get stale?

  1. The food once the bag is open should be consumed in 3 to 4 wk for best quality and it should be kept IN THE BAG you bought it in >tightly closed, kept in a cool area away from humidity. You can place the sealed bag of food in a sealed plastic container to keep out humidity & moisture BUT never empty the food out of the bag it came in into a plastic container as it will go rancid faster..Only buy the size bag of food that your dog will be able to finish in 4 wks..



My senior tiny chihuahua dog has missing and other horrible teeth. She needs a softer kibble or soft food. Will this be soft enough?

  1. Add a bit of water.  I rescued a very old- pom. Vet removed most of her very bad teeth, but she has enough teeth left that that food is managed by her without any water added. She eats it only on one side of her mouth.  The best thing is to buy the small size--and try it- without and then with a little water to soften it.  Get the bad teeth removed- they may hurt your pup as they are.



I havea poddle mix that's 31lbs. The adult size bites are to hard for him to chew. He can chew it but it takes a long time and he get disinterested. His teeth are healthy and strong no issues there. Can I change to the small bites of small dogs instead.

  1. I have a 15-year old afghan hound. I feed her Small Paws Chicken Meal and Rice for exactly this same reason. I also mix either a fresh product or canned i/d Digestive Care (stress) with the dry and add warm water. She maintains her weight and appetite, and her stool is good. I'm seeing signs of early dementia, but she still knows when it's dinner time, and stands by my side while I prepare her food. I think you will be happy feeding the smaller bites, and hope your results are as good as mine.



Says " Protein: Min. 20.0 %" What is the MAX Protein in this food?

  1. Thank you for your question. The protein level in this food is 24.9% on a dry matter basis. Hill's Pet Nutrition



I've been buying the smaller bags because they seal/I'm nervous that the food won't stay as fresh... I have a food container but I don't feel like it works that well. Any suggestions on how to keep this food fresh for several months?

  1. Try storing what you think your dog will consume in a week in a small plastic or glass container. Then store the rest in a larger one that will only be opened once a week to refill the smaller one thus keeping the food fresh :)



what if you sign up for auto delivery and then need to change delivery date. not sure if she will need it again in i mo.

  1. Thank you for your question. You can make changes to your Auto Delivery item(s) via phone, email or chat.



random question

  1. The Science Diet® Adult Small & Toy Breed Dog Food Dry has 4.6 cups per pound. A 15.5 lb. bag would have around 71.3 cups of food. Thank you for reaching out to us!



Is this item 9096? UPC 5274290960

  1. I have scheduled automatic delivery of this dog food for my daughter. I order two bags at a time to get free shipping. You can set your own schedule of delivery. She was having the same problem with availability.
