Review: Easy to feed. - Dogs love it!
Review: Best Hill’s Adult Formula So Far - Transitioning my 10-11mo shih tzu to big boy food started around this time last year. (He thrived on Hill’s Small & Mini Puppy Chicken & Brown Rice). It’s been a year of trial and error: 3 other Hill’s adult formulas, 2 other brands, vet visits—and lots of canned chicken, white rice and canned pumpkin. Since giving this 4th Hill’s formula a chance, I’m hopeful we’ve found the one. He devours it, it’s easy on his tummy. He’s healthy and full of energy. His stools are regular. High quality ingredients, and the ratios of protein : fats : carbs, etc, work for him. As for the kibble size, it’s super small. We’ve almost reached the bottom of the first bag. I reordered his first, second bag of big boy food, a year in the making.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Controls Her Weight, Looks Forward To It
*by K***R on February 6, 2026*

Our Chihuahua loves the taste of Hill's Science Diet Light and the small size is perfect for her. She's a little pudgy sweet girl and nutritionally our vet is satisfied with her eating this brand daily. No more weight gain since we transitioned to this brand and we have not experienced any problems with her digestive system. We are definitely repeat purchasers. Will continue to buy.
