Hill's Science Diet Adult Chicken & Barley Recipe Dry Dog Food

Dog wont eat it.

We feed this twice a day. Both of my girls love it. I finally found a good they'll eat!! I'm happy if they're happy.

Our 1.5 year old 75 lb. Golden became super picky after coming off his puppy food. We tried 3 other brands of adult dog foods, 2 of which were for large breed, and he refused to eat them (we had to mix in toppers to get him to touch it) because the kibble was so large. Another formula was smaller sized kibble but was salmon flavor and that did not succeed either :( After reading other reviews and doing a careful look at the ingredients to select a food that is within the AAFCO guidelines and was not grain free, we decided to switch to Hill's adult chicken and barley and give it a try. Result - he loves it! It was the first time we saw him gobble his food down in close to 2 months. We have fed our 11 year old Golden Hills Prescriptive Diet since he was 5 years old and now we are a total Hill's family. If you have a picky eater, this formula and medium kibble size will not disappoint!

We currently have a 7 month old puppy at home, and when I tell you it's been a real struggle to get him to eat on a schedule, it's an understatement. When we first brought him home we started on Baby Blue and after our first vet appointment we switched him to Royal Canin Medium Puppy and he would eat that, but it was still a struggle (It was a lot of hand feeding). About 2 months ago our vet recommended us to start switching him to adult food, and there were 3 brands she recommended, we started with the Pro Plan (my family has a lot of dogs around so thought it might be good to do the same food as others) he would NOT eat it. So I passed that along to my sister-in-law to finish that bag. So finally, we ended up with the Hill's Science Diet Adult (1-6) Chicken and Barley and at least with this past week we have NOT had any issues with him wanting to eat. He will finish his entire bowl when it's given to him!! We've had solid bathroom breaks with no issues. I couldn't be happier! My only wish was there were more flavors with the regular adult food.

Not satisfied with new changes or "improvements" made to the food. AT ALL. I have used Science Diet brand food for three years. My dog loves it and will not eat anything else, until RECENTLY, when the company made CHANGES. I have a 4 yr old pit mix and we have always preferred the Science Diet Advanced Fitness food with Chicken & Barley flavor. Recently, the company changed their packaging of food, name of the food, and the shape of the food. They claim that the food is the same flavor. HOWEVER, I was recently told that the Advanced Fitness dog food was renamed/rebranded to Hill's Science Diet Adult 1-6 dog food. Yes, the food is a different shaped as stated, BUT, it does not seem to be the same flavor, even though it says otherwise on the package. It is a different color/smell as well. My dog refuses to eat it. I've noticed my cat now tries to eat it so the flavor has to had change.. The cat never wanted to touch the dog's food before. We've transitioned her food by mixing the old with it and she still won't eat it. I am very unhappy with their new marketing, for food purposes. I understand about new packaging but there is no reason to change certain things with the food itself. I have friends who are having this same problem and it's very frustrating. The food is great quality and I wish they still had the same food. We're currently looking at other brands of food for our dog but it shouldn't need to come to this. Will be calling the company personally tomorrow to figure out if there's another food they have that is somewhat comparable to her Hill's Science Diet Advanced Fitness. If anything changes, I will edit my review.

I have used Science Diet Adult regular kibble for 20 years for both of my Corgi's. I am very disappointed that you have made the kibble size much smaller and now my Corgi swallows the kibbles whole. He doesn't chew it. Why would you change the kibble size to smaller? It does not make sense. Dogs are sensitive to change in their food and usually not for the better. I will never buy Science Diet again.

This food is 100% digestible so there are no by-products to cause problems in the gut. Less poop, less odor and my dog is satisfied after her feedings. SHINY black coat too!

Our Golden retriever was on Science diet Large Breed his whole life. He lived to be 15.5. Goldens typically only live 10-12 yrs. He was very active and energetic right up to the end. In fact our vet hospital had gotten a new vet added to the staff and he didn't believe our dog was 14 at the time. He'd have said 6 or 7. We had to show his adoption papers from when we got him as a puppy. Sadly he passed of a brain tumor. We recently adopted a 2 year old lab who came to us on an organic salmon and sweet potato diet. The foster mom said she did that for all her fosters because she thought it best. We figured she knew best so we continued that brand/flavor. OMG! It was horrible! He was soooo gassy and hyper and pooping 3 times a day! We decided to go back to what we knew. We did the proper food transition and the farts continued until all the old food was gone and a fresh un-blended bag of Hill's. No more gas. Calm dog now. and few poops. These pet food fads are getting way out of hand. Stick to the tried and true.

I love this for my maltese pupy sice he was a baby ..

I have a mix breed (mini Aussie/Beagle) and his energy is awesome on this diet ! Although both his breed have high energy already, I only give a small amount and that does it job. Nothing wrong so far :)

My dogs run with me every day, and I feel good about giving them this food to maintain their health and stamina and provide great nutrition.

I recently adopted a shelter dog and was given a sample of Hill's Science diet advanced fitness dog food as a trial. Since then I have continued to purchase and use the food because my dog seems to appreciate the taste and his GI system seem to stay pretty regular on it. Additionally, my small sized dog can sometimes tend to "inhale" is food thus the larger size of the kibble encourages him to slow down and take time to chew before hastily swallowing.

After months of trying different foods, we finally tried Science Diet and will never use anything else! Daisy is happy, healthy and loves meal time!

I have 2 dachshunds that were started on Hills Science Diet Jan 1st. I was leary because doxies are picky eaters and dreaded the switch. Low and behold.....they loved it. Actually was spitting out their regular food on the floor and only eating the new food. Thank you for a great product. We also have lost a few ounces in just a couple weeks.

My dog looks like the dog on this bag. Do you know the breed? BTW Maggie loves this food and is healthy and happy!

no more stools and farts. this it's the best brands for bulldogs.

Switched my puppy's to adult science diet dry food and both my doggies have been in the vet hospital for 3 days with IV's and really sick!!! I was going to throw out the food but defore I did my hound dog found it before I did and now he is back at the emergence vet.. Thanks science diet.. I'm just praying be best friend makes it!!!!

We've been feeding Kali Science Hill Diet ever since the animal shelter gave us a free bag when we adopted her almost 4 years ago! She loves it! It keeps her black coat so sleek and shiny and keeps her healthy!

I have a senior Shih Tzu who has mobility issues. He also had an accident when he was a puppy and upon moving back to Kansas with cold winters and age, he was having problems. Vet recommend Hills H/D and it has been a miracle for him. I do need to keep him on it all year round which he thoroughly enjoys as he loves the taste. I highly recommend product.

My dog Taiga is a blue nose bully, she got real bad irritation on both sides of her with bumps and lose of fur, I completely freaked out, it costs a lot to take her to the vet, and I've experienced skin problems with other dogs I've had, I remembered when I had went a long time back for a similar situation they switched her right onto science diet and she had a medicine. Anyways so I took myself down to Petco 1month ago, got Taiga science diet and itch relief spray that's all! Literally 1 week later very little bumps, no irritation, no severe itching! Not to mention we sawthe fur was coming in agian slowly. It is now a month later and her skin is excellent!!!! Her fur that's grown back is perfect! Such a energetic girl, what a difference in both body and mind, she's done a complete transformation! I'll never use another food, I'm telling you this is a great dog and cat food, and treats! Thanks so much, this product has saved my dogs coat and really just made her a all round better, happy dog! Happy pup, happy mama! Lol

My dog Sasha has been on this food since we rescued her four years ago. She absolutely loves it (we actually use it for treats as well). She is very healthy, and always had a shiny coat. I definitely would recommend this food to everyone!

My dog is my world and I want only the best for him! His health and happiness is honestly my number one priority!!! I am a vet and would never feed anything but Science Diet! Science Diet does extensive research into pet nutrition. As a vet, I would only trust Science Diet with the health of my pets. Period! If you want the best possible food that has record statistics for a long life, feed ONLY Science Diet!!!

My fiancé and i recently rescued a pit bull from our local SPCA. they were already feeding her Science Diet, so we continued on with it. after a few weeks of feeding her Science Diet, we noticed a dramatic change in her coat and skin. She had a dull coat, and flakey skin when we rescued her, and she's only 10 months old. Her coat is beautiful and her skin seems a lot more "normal". She loves her food and her vet highly suggested we keep her on it.

We rescued a lab/boxer mix puppy from a family that was just going to leave him tied up in the yard. He had bowel problems from the get go. We thought it was just from the deworm medicine the vet gave him but it wasn't. After trying 2 other brand dog food we discovered that Science Diet has a easy digestable food. It has done wonders with him & we have switched our other 2 dogs to Science Diet.
