Choosing the Best Dog Food
for Your Pet

Puppies (Under Age 1)
From lean protein to high-quality fish oil, Hill’s
puppy food is specially formulated to keep up with a pup’s energetic lifestyle, as well as support healthy brain, eye & skeletal development.
Adult Dogs (1-7 Years)
To keep dogs healthy in their prime years, adult dog food should provide the right balance of high-quality ingredients, plus antioxidants and omega-6 fatty acids to help support their everyday needs.
Older Dogs (Age 7+)
As your dog enters his golden years, his nutritional requirements will need to support more specific needs for mobility and brain function, such as phytonutrients and L-carnitine.
