Helpful Tips

  • These amounts are a starting point only. Your pet may need less or more food to maintain proper weight. Adjust as needed. If you are unsure, ask your veterinarian.
  • Feeding this food for the first time? Mix increasing amounts of your pet's new food with decreasing amounts of the old food over a 7-day period.
  • When using with Science Diet® canned food, decrease the amount of dry food to avoid overfeeding.
  • Keep fresh water available at all times!
  • We recommend that you take your pet to the veterinarian at least twice a year for regular health check-ups.
  • To prevent suffocation, keep this plastic bag out of the reach of pets and children.

I can't tell you enough how much my dog loves this food. I have a 20 pound, 4 year Shiba Inu named Kika. She is very particular about her dog food. I have returned multiple bags of dog food to the store because she will take one sniff and walk away. The last successful dog food we had only lasted a few months. She would eat a few bites at a time and then walk away. I thought to myself, well at least she is eating. Ironically this bzz campaign came along and i was excited to try a new food before i bought a huge bag. I received it in the mail, and Kika ran straight to the box. She sniff and scratched and as soon as i opened the box she was whining at the bag. I knew instantly I would have a winner.I mixed a little in her previous food so she wouldnt have an upset stomach and she managed to pick out every single Hill Science diet and left the other stuff. Kika is definitely a nibbler.. she doesnt gobble her food and with this, she ate all of the Hills Science Diet. She was no longer eating throughout the day, nibbling here and there. She actually ate the entire bowl the next time! Plus she is no longer constipated when she goes to the bathroom. I trust Hills Science diet for their quality ingredients. I am definitely switching!

I really loved having the opportunity to try Hill's Science Diet Ideal Balance dog food. Our dog is a very active 6 year old boarder collie/ golden retriever mix. She has tons of fluffy fur. When we switched her to Ideal Balance we soon noticed that her coat looked shinier. She seemed even more healthy and lively. I love that the first ingredient is chicken, that it's packed with great fruits and veggies, and that I'm not filling my dog with tons of bulky corn filler. In fact, there's no corn at all. Our dog Roslyn really loves eating Ideal Balance, and I love knowing that a member of our family is finally eating as healthy as we do. January 2, 2012
Well, I am on my second bag of this brand of dog food. i absolutely love it! My poor dog had skin problems for the last 2 years and had to take steroid shots for it. After receiving my free bag of the product in the mail i started using it each day. in just 3 short weeks my dogs skin completely cleared up! His coat is shiny and he has alot of renewed energy. At 12 years of age that is saying alot. I am now on my second bag and he is contimuing to improve in looks and overall health. i am so glad i tried this brand. It may have saved my dogs life or at least extended it! He is happy and healthy and so am I! Thank you BzzAgent and hills Science Diet! i have my dog back! January 1, 2012
After using Hills Science Diet for a couple of weeks now, I am very happy to report that both my little dogs are looking and acting healthy and happy. The Hills Science Diet for Adult Dogs is agreeing with them so well, and I feel like I am doing them a good thing by feeding this quality dog food to Maggie and Copper. It just looks and smells like a higher end quality of dry dog food. I am so glad I was able to participate in this campaign and to become acquainted with the exceptional ingredients included in this dog food. With chicken and veggies contributing to the food, how can it be bad? It really makes me feel good to feed my dogs this food. I think I would recommend it to anyone who really wants to feed their dog something healthy and wholesome. If you have a pet, give it a try! January 1, 2012
We've been feeding our 5 year old Dorgi, Mushu, a store brand food from a well-known organic grocery store for about a year now. We thought we were feeding him the best food we could. Well, we were wrong! Since switching to Hill's Science Diet Ideal Balance, it's like we have a new dog. Over the years, Mushu put on some extra weight. After using the sample provided from BzzAgent for about a month, he has visibly slimmed down. I think it's because the Ideal Balance has really increased his energy level. Mushu is more lively on his walks and he isn't napping as often as he used too.I've also noticed a drastic decrease in the amount of scratching he does. He isn't nearly as itchy as he used to be and his skin seems to be in better condition. The skin on his belly isn't as red and appears to be a lot less irritated.Mushu really enjoys this food. The first time I fed it to him, he had no hesitation in eating it. As soon as he comes in from his morning walk, he jumps on the bag of food, demanding to be fed!Luckily, the bag has a nice feature that my previous brand didn't have; a resealable zipper. I like knowing that his food will stay fresh, won't be visited by bugs, and won't be gobbled up if he gets to it while I'm not around.I've already purchased another bag of Ideal Balance because Mushu has improved so much since we switched brands. This is definitely going to be our brand from now on. December 31, 2011
My other dog I have in my house is a Japanese Akita that is 5 years old, almost 6. We have to be very careful with what dog food we give her as she has food allergies. We have to change her food periodically so she doesn't get any reactions. As soon as she tried science diet, her bowl was empty in about 2 minutes! I am amazed at how the sample of science diet I received works for both of my food- sensitive dogs. They are on almost opposite ends of the age spectrums and both have had no problems. December 31, 2011
I am incredibly excited to add an update to my original review! We have 2 adult boxers, one of which has an extremely sensitive stomach (Jax). So when I joined the campaign and began introducing the new Science Diet food, it was geared toward our younger boxer, Lulu, who has a stomach of steel. As previously mentioned in my original review, Lulu transitioned to the Adult Ideal Balance quite quickly and simply. Of course, feeding the dogs separately was slightly inconvenient, but for the most part we were successful.... until our toddler decided to help and gave the Science Diet to both dogs. Much to our (extremely pleasant)surprise, Jax loved the food just as much as Lulu, and seemed to have zero problem digesting it. We didn't even have to go through a transition period; He simply just switched! I am now happy to report that I am surely confident that our dog food costs have sizeably decreased, and without sacrificing a natural, healthy diet for both dogs! December 31, 2011
LOVE the Science Diet Balance. My dog is quite finicky and has been on Science Diet Adult for years. He seemed satisfied but not excited. Would always be begging for people food scraps. Added the Balance to his regular food just to see if he would notice and much to my surprise he inhaled the bowl. I notice a shinier coat, happier dog and a happier owner knowing that its not corn and other fillers but chicken, fruits and vegetables! So happy for the dog, know I would be bored eating the same thing ever day! Telling all my friends and family!! December 31, 2011
