Feeding Guide

Daily Feeding Guide:

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.

My older dogs love the taste of Ideal Balance. I know that my older dogs need extra nutrition to meet the needs of their senior years, but it has been hard to get them to eat what is good for them. When I tried Ideal Balance, they ate it without a moment of hesitation. It makes me feel good to know that they are eating something that is not only nutritious, but it also has a great taste.

My dogs LOVE it! I have two golden retrievers, one is eleven and the other is two. My younger dog is a very picky eater, and turns his nose away to most dry dog foods. My older dog will eat pretty much whatever he is given right when you put it down. I bought a bag of Ideal Balance Mature Adult for both dogs to share and they really enjoy it! My younger dog waits by his food bowl now so he can gobble up all the pieces when they are dropped in. I am so happy I found something both dogs enjoy and will keep them healthy! Finally!

My dog loved her new Science Diet Dog Food. This dog food is balanced with carbs, protein, vitimans, and oils. It's healthy plus it has fresh chicken in the ingredients. I received it as a free sample and I was not sure if it was necessary to feed my dog this brand but after comparing to some store brand ingrediants and the fact that my dog who is 10 years old--loved it....I will continue to use Science Diet for her.

Prior to starting Hills Science Diet dog food, my 7 year old chihuahua was not very active or even interested in eating. Since beginning the new food, she has become more active and LOVES the new food, even tried going back to old food and she would not eat it..Now she will only eat the Science Diet food!!! I am amazed at the difference it has made in her personality and especially her eating habits! AMAZING!! January 2, 2012
I like that the Hill's Science Diet dog food is made for with my dog's age and nutritional needs in mind. I have an older dog and he likes the flavor and I like feeding him this food knowing the benefits it has, such as the vitamins and nutrients for his mature age, as well as the fact that it contains no dyes. It is a little more money than I would like to spend, but he is worth it! January 2, 2012
I really like that Hill's Science Diet dog food has natural ingredients and was formulated for seniors. My dog is a picky eater but did not hesitate with this food. I would buy it in the future if it were not so expensive and did not give him smelly gas. January 1, 2012
I have a mini schnauzer and a mini daschund that have been fed a steady diet of Hills Science Diet Ideal Balance Mature for about a month. My dogs have responded well to the food. The ingredients are balanced, nutritious and the dogs love it. I strongly encourage anyone to try the dog food for their pets because I was so happy with how the product worked for my dogs. The cost for the dog food is about average for comparable dog foods. My dogs enjoyed healthy coats, increated activity, bright eyes, and general well being while eating this dog food. The ingredients are carefully selected and provide good nutritional support for the dogs. I was happy with the product and would buy again. December 31, 2011
My dog Angel is so addicted to his new food Ideal Balance from Hill's Science Diet. He is a picky eater by nature. I was always able to fill his dish and he would nibble all day. I never had to worry about over eating. He is getting so fat! lol. I have had to start measuring out his food and not refilling when he finishes. He just loves it! At 14 years old it is nice to see him enjoying his food so much. I love it because I know it is healthy for him. December 30, 2011
