Customers say

Customers overwhelmingly praise this puppy food for supporting healthy growth and digestion, with even picky eaters eagerly consuming it. The small kibble size is ideal for small-breed puppies, and reviewers consistently report firm, healthy stools and improved digestion after switching. Many observe visible improvements in coat shine, energy levels, and overall vitality. Veterinary recommendations drive strong brand loyalty, with customers confident in the nutritional quality. A few mention minor concerns like occasional constipation or stronger smell, but these are rare compared to widespread satisfaction.

My puppy loved this food and always received great health checks at the vet! The size of the kibbles is perfect and there are good options of flavors.

It's huge and it's tiny. I really think it works well. It was easy to setup and took forever. It's very lightweight while being heavy. I highly recommend this.

My 2-year old girl doesn't care much for this. She will only lick the top off, and leave the rest. She may just not like this style/texture.

I want to say my cat enjoyed this food but I’m not 100% sure. I could tell it sat well with his stomach but he wasn’t as excited to eat this as with other food. But I believe it did what it was supposed to do.

Questions

1 - 10 of 27 Questions

Which is the best for an 8 month old pitbull?

  1. Science diet puppy



Until what age do you recommend feeding the Science Diet puppy food before switching to adult food?

  1. Thank you for your inquiry. Our Science Diet Puppy Small Bites Chicken & Barley Recipe Dog Food is recommended for the first 12 months of your dog's life. Hill's Pet Nutrition



My dog is allergic to beef and pork. I noticed your dry chicken has "pork faloring" I'm wondering if she might be allergic to this as well. What is pork faloring anyway?

  1. We bought the chicken because it was the Puppy version and small bites. We have always used Science Diet for all of our dogs and never had any problem or allergic reaction. Science Diet is the only dry food we feed our dogs. I do not know what pork flavoring is...



I have a 6 month old Frenchton Puppy, what is best dry dog food for her.

  1. We have had our Mini-Schnauzer, now almost 2 years old, on Hills since we got him. It was recommended by the breeder and by the vet. We kept him on strictly dry food for the first year and then gradually added a bit of wet food to his dry food.as he got older. He is in great health! I highly recommend the Hills puppy dry food.



I have a chihuahua puppy mix, but I don't know what food to give him. What Hills Science Diet Dry Food is best for him?

  1. Thank you for your question. We have a couple of puppy products to choose from such as this one or our Science Diet Small Paws for small and toy breeds. Since we do not have all the information about your puppy, the best person to address your questions is your veterinarian for a food recommendation. Hill's Pet Nutrition



Which hill science type I have to feed my 16 months goldendoodle puppy. Very picky eater. Appreciate your responsesĀ 

  1. Salmon flavor 1+ science diet



I have a Chihuahua/Poodle mixed puppy, which one is better Hill's Science Diet Small Bites or Hills Science Diet Small Paws puppy dry food? and if I want to mix it with a Hill's Diet wet food which one should i give him SMALL BITES OR SMALL PAWS WET?

  1. Thank you for your question. We recommend feeding Hill'sĀ® Science DietĀ® Puppy Small Pawsā„¢ formulas if your puppy will be under 25 pounds when full grown. Hill's Pet Nutrition



Which is best for a 4 month old pit bull puppyĀ 

  1. I would go with science diet for puppies. I don’t believe for the Pitbull you would need the small bites size



What is the best food for a puppy shitzu?

  1. With all of our puppies...we have used nothing but Hills Science Diet Puppy dry food. We start with the smaller bits then up to the little larger bits for puppies. Our dogs love this food. We have never had any dietary issues with any of our dogs. When they reach adulthood, we still stay with Hills Science Diet! Hope this helps!!



i noticed that the weights for feeding instruction are precise like 5lbs - feed this much or 8lbs - feed this much rather than approximate like 5 - 8 lbs - feed this much. my small breed puppy is 6.5lbs, so how much should I feed her?

  1. Thank you for your question. Our feeding guide for our puppy food is not just based off weight, but age as well. We would not be able to determine a feeding amount without the age of your small breed puppy. Hill's Pet Nutrition
