Large Breed Puppy Food, DHA to Support Healthy Development, Chicken & Brown Rice Dry Dog Food, 27.5 lb. Bag

Hey all, quick shoutout to the packaging team. The resealable bag is clutch for keeping kibble fresh day to day. Product team, stellar work. This food smells surprisingly good out of the bag. I was half-tempted to try a kibble myself because it reminded me of KFC. I switched from Purina Pro Puppy after my pup started turning his nose up at it. With Hill’s Science Diet Large Breed Puppy Chicken & Brown Rice, he cleans the bowl and comes back looking for more. I was worried about his growth before. Now I feel a lot better seeing steady appetite and energy. One request for the formulation team. Large breed puppies need consistent omega-3s, especially DHA, for brain and vision development. If the DHA and overall omega-3 content could be bumped up or communicated more clearly on the bag, it would help owners like me rely on this as an all-in-one without adding separate supplements. Overall I highly recommend this food for anyone with a puppy. It is a bit pricey. A more competitive price would make it accessible to more pet parents. Every pup deserves food that performs like this.

Great Dane is ok with it, no issues to report.

My husbands had two labs when we met, they were on science diet their whole life! The vet said it’s best not to keep changing the type of food you give your dogs, pick one and be faithful with it. So that’s what he did. Both of those dogs lived to be 17 years old! We got a new pup and she will be on Science diet for her entire life as well! Feed your dog quality food so they can live longer!

Arrived as scheduled. Packaged to prevent damage. Our dog loves Hill's Science Diet Large Breed Puppy Food. We are very pleased.

Love this dog food brand. Best of all, my pup loves it too. When she was super little, she did good on the little bites as an option.

Perfect size, appearance good. This brand is the good quality and healthy for dog.

Okay, biggest thing you need to know is that the lamb and brown rice recipe is clearly the higher quality and better for your puppy recipe. DO NOT BUY the chicken and oat version. My puppy on the lamb bag was perfect, great appetite, good firm poops at regular intervals, growing like a damn weed. My puppy on the chicken bag was diarrhea LITERALLY every day, barely gaining weight (which at 16 weeks old is unheard of in a large breed puppy), and the poops smelt like brimstone. Idk if it was a bad lot, but I’ve seen so many similar reviews of the chicken recipe that I can’t imagine it’s just that. I think it’s the base recipe of it, or the production plant it comes from. Hill science should really be looking at their quality data for the CGM for mycotoxin level, because that would almost certainly cause this issue in small puppies. Or it could be another PCA (peanut corporation of America) scandal if their manufacturing plant for that chicken recipe is seen something tells me. It’s on the company to do some investigation with so many similar reviews of the chicken recipe causing adverse reactions in puppies that NEED to be gaining weight constantly. TLDR: Only the lamb and brown rice is good for your puppy, NOT the chicken and oat.

My big puppy loves this food and decent price on Amazon compared to other stores.
