  • Vegetables
  • Apples
  • Brown Rice
  • Flaxseed
  • Cranberries

LEAN PROTEIN

High quality protein in the right proportions helps maintain lean muscle and supports healthy organ development and proper digestion for longer walks together.

VITAMINS & MINERALS

A healthy level of vitamins and minerals promotes energy and proper bone growth to keep him playing like a puppy.

VITAMIN C

Help him be ready for more games of fetch with the right amount of Vitamin C. It helps promote and maintain a healthy immune system.

NATURAL FIBER

Enjoy more belly rubs and fewer upset stomachs. The right amount and type of fiber supports proper digestive health.

OMEGA-3 & 6

Spend more time petting and less time grooming. The right amount of healthy fats is essential to providing energy and maintaining healthy skin and coat.

ANTIOXIDANTS

Antioxidants and the power of cranberries help keep your dog's bladder functioning properly for fewer indoor accidents and more outdoor fun.

  • Balanced Nutrition
  • Protein

    PROTEIN

    TOO MUCH

    You can have too much of a good thing. Excess and/or low-quality proteins can bring unwanted digestive upset.

    IDEAL BALANCE

    Balanced levels of high-quality protein help promote lean muscle, proper growth and balanced mineral levels.

    TOO LITTLE

    Not enough protein can hamper your dog's muscle development.

  • Fats

    FATS

    TOO MUCH

    Just like with humans, too much fat in your dog’s diet can lead to unwanted weight gain.

    IDEAL BALANCE

    When fat levels are in the right proportions, the result is healthy skin and a glossy coat.

    TOO LITTLE

    Fats often get a bad rap. But too little can leave your dog with a dull coat.

  • Vitamins

    VITAMINS

    TOO MUCH

    Vitamins are important for proper health. But an excess can create a decreased appetite in your dog.

    IDEAL BALANCE

    Balanced levels of vitamins help support a strong immune system.

    TOO LITTLE

    When your dog doesn’t get enough vitamins, he may be sluggish and fatigued.

  • Vitamins

    MINERALS

    TOO MUCH

    An excess of minerals can lead to dry skin and coat. Too much or low-quality protein is often the culprit.

    IDEAL BALANCE

    When your dog gets minerals in the right proportions, he enjoys the benefits of strong bones and teeth.

    TOO LITTLE

    Foods that don’t give your dog enough minerals can cause weakness.

  • Vitamins

    FIBER

    TOO MUCH

    When fiber levels are elevated, unwanted gas can be the result.

    IDEAL BALANCE

    Fiber in the right proportions is an important component to healthy digestion.

    TOO LITTLE

    When fiber levels are low, the result can be loose stools.

    Ideal Balance is the top of the line from Hills

    I was lucky enough to be able to try a free bag of Hill's new grain free dry dog food. I opened my bag right away and gave my pickiest dog (Fussy) a few nuggets to try. According to Fussy she says it tastes great and even asked for more.
