New Formula is 4 PAWS UP! I am so happy that Hills reformulated this product and chicken is now the first ingredient. My 5 little picky dogs absolutely LOVE the new science diet light small bites. They have never eaten their kibble so fast!! This formula is perfect for chubby little ones or dogs that can't tolerate a lot of protein or fat in their diets. The size of the kibble is perfect too for tiny chihuahua mouths. I highly recommend this one! March 4, 2013
Weigh control Nice size for my chiuaua who has small mouth and great for a dog with a weight problem. July 28, 2012
GREAT FOOD! The only food I will ever feed my babies! I've had people comment on their shiny, smooth coats. It's got to be the great quality food they eat! July 17, 2012
Helps keep a balanced weight for small dogs. I have a small, picky dog, and she enjoys this brand of food more than other options I have tried in the past. The formula helps to maintain her weight while giving her balanced nutrition. July 8, 2012
Small bites light great for weight loss in small dogs Science Diet Small Bites Light is a great product. Small size kibbles makes it easy for small dogs to chew & digest. My overweight Welsh Corgi has lost weight and been able to maintain her new weight on this product. the only negative I can think of is the price keeps going up & up. May 23, 2012
IT WORKS!!!!! I have a little Min Pin. I'm trying to KEEP her that way. Now that I have her on the "light" diet she is able to keep her fit little figure. She would eat herself to death I think. SO therefore, she is on the light diet and Science DIet has been the best not only for her but my old cats as well. I always use Sience DIet and won't use anything else. May 22, 2012
My boy, Tuk, loves this product. When I first brought my Cairn Terrier, Tuk, home, I started him on Science Diet. He never left a morsel behind. When he consistently had very loose stools my vet suggested something with a higher fiber content. I read lots of labels and found the highest fiber content in Adult Light Small Bites. Tuk is now over 8 years old and as physically fit as can be. His weight has always been around 14.5 lbs. He is always ready to play ball or any other form of play. The Adult Light Small Bites must taste good, he always cleans his bowl and checks to see if his 'brother' has left any behind. May 21, 2012
Keeps my puppies slim & happy Great choice to keep your puppies on a good and healthy diet and happy to help ensure you have them in your life for many more years to come. May 20, 2012
