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. ## Features - Lean muscles supported with high-quality protein - Balanced energy supported by the right combination of protein, fats, and carbs - Low calories and L-Carnitine help promote ideal body weight - Healthy digestion supported by easy-to-digest ingredients - Made with natural ingredients - Made in the USA with global ingredients you can trust - Hill's Pet Nutrition is the US Veterinarians' #1 recommended brand ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B003N3YWTG | | ASIN | B003N3YWTG | | Age Range Description | Adult 1-6 | | Allergen Information | Chicken Meat | | Animal Food Diet Type | Veterinary Diet | | Animal Food Nutrient Content Claim | Low Calorie | | Best Sellers Rank | #4,661 in Pet Supplies ( See Top 100 in Pet Supplies ) #333 in Dry Dog Food | | Brand Name | Hill's Science Diet | | Breed Recommendation | Small Breeds | | Container Type | Bag | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (3,021) | | Date First Available | October 6, 2010 | | Department | dog-dry-food | | Dog Breed Size | Small | | Flavor | Chicken & Barley | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00052742910109 | | Included Components | Dog Food | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Form | Dry Food | | Item Type Name | Light, Dog Dry Food, Small Breed | | Item Weight | 15.5 Pounds | | Item model number | 9101 | | Manufacturer | Hill's Pet Nutrition | | Manufacturer | Hill's Pet Nutrition | | Manufacturer Part Number | 9101 | | Manufacturer recommended age | 1 month and up | | Model Number | 9101 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Occasion | Everyday Nutrition | | Product Benefits | Supports weight management, promotes joint health, and nourishes skin and coat | | Product Dimensions | 20 x 13.33 x 5.75 inches; 15.5 Pounds | | Recommended Uses For Product | Weight management in small dogs | | Special Ingredients | all-natural | | Specific Uses For Product | Weight Management | | Target Species | Dog | | UPC | 052742910109 | | Unit Count | 248 Ounce | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** Adult 1-6 - **Brand:** Hill's Science Diet - **Flavor:** Chicken & Barley - **Item Form:** Dry Food - **Specific Uses For Product:** Weight Management ## Images ![Adult 1-6 Light Small & Mini Dry Dog Food, Chicken Meal & Barley, 15.5 lb.

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.
