Endorsed by my 12 yr old puppy! We have multiple dogs, all rescues. One of them came to us in early 2003. He was a 100lb 3 year old shelter dog, frightened and ravenous. The first few weeks he managed to barrel his way past us out the front door and ran, but luckily we got him back unharmed. These days, 9 years later, we open the door and he stays put. We think it's because he knows where the food lives. He's now 12+ years old and a svelte 74lbs. He runs around the yard with the other dogs like a puppy, and he can jump high enough to see over the 7' block fence. He's healthy, has a shiny coat, and he's a very happy boy. I attribute that to quality food and lots of love. What more could you ask for? May 16, 2012
great product! we have always used science diet for our dogs. My golden was putting on a little weight, so we switched him to the mature adult formula and he has lost a lot since. His skin and coat are in top condition! August 21, 2012
My dog loves it..... My 10 year old Dalmation seems to be much more active since feeding him this food. With other foods he had no energy and just laid around all the time. We are very happy with this food! August 14, 2012
Happy dog Love the product, has stuff for the brain and bones. My dog loves the product. It never up set his belly, like some other brands did. July 5, 2012
My dogs LOVE it! My dogs all go crazy for this variety of food. They show a definite preference for it over any other brand! May 26, 2012
Great food that my dog LOVES! My 8 yr old Deutsch Drahthaar eats this food and looks and feels great! We have tried other formulas and other brands and he just doesn't do as well as he does on this food. He has lots of energy, his coat is shiny and thick, and most importantly he LOVES it! Thanks Hill's for making great food that I know I can count on. I want to give my pet the best and that is exactly what you offer. May 20, 2012
Great value! I started my dog on Science diet about 3 years ago and noticed a change after a few months. Not only did she shed those few extra pounds, but her coat has a beautiful sheen that she didn't have while feeding the other mid-priced dog food. In the end I am only paying a few dollars a month more vs. the mid-priced brands, as Science diet has less fillers and other stuff she doesn't need, so she gets full on less. Also there is less waste to scoop, as she ingests less unneeded fillers! Worth the couple dollars extra! May 19, 2012
Great product that my dog enjoys I tried a couple different of dog food brands for my dog before deciding to stick to what my vet originally recommended for him. It was the only brand that has not made him sick. He is a 7 year old and is healthy. I plan to always use science diet for him and any other dog I will have someday. May 19, 2012
