Hill's Science Diet Adult Oral Care Chicken, Rice & Barley Recipe Dry Dog Food

My older dogs breath used to smell so bad, now that she is eating this food, it doesn't smell any longer! Love that!

We have a labradoodle, a maltipoo and a chihuahua and they all love it. At first I was concerned about the size of the kibble, but I understand why it needs to be as big as it is. The dogs - even the littles - have no problem eating it. I usually mix some in with their regular (smaller kibble) food or will use it as a training treat. I just wish there was a medium sized bag. 4 pounds of the food isn't enough and 28.5 is too much!

My small minature poodle loves them & they really work on the extreme plaque build up of his teeth. Although they are large (varying slightly in size/weight), he certainly manages to crunch them with such gusto & positive results, once he starts. Maybe the appearance of the size, is more daunting for the dog, that their ability to eat/consume them. Found a bit of mince rubbed on outside made Oral Care them more appealling, then once he starts. Found that approx 8 a day seems best for him, served first for his afternoon/evening meal, then topped up with recommended amount (for weight of dog) of Small Paws afterwards. Highly recommended. AAA+++

There are a lot of comments about the size of the kibble which I understand especially for a small dog but when my Veterinary and explained the reason for the size I understood that it can't be made smaller. I'll quote from this report, " The oral care and t/dTM kibbles are designed and manufactured to maintain the kibble form until the tooth penetrates the whole way through the kibble, unlike other kibbles that crumble when bitten into. Both kibbles are made of aligned fibres that when bitten into engulf the tooth and scrape along the tooth surface (mechanically abrading the tooth surface)." Oral care and prescription t/d have the Veterinary Oral Health Council (VOHC) seal of acceptance for both plaque and calculus.

The product works and my yorkie eats it but I have to cut the pieces in half. Seriously, it's like they don't care about small dogs who typically have the most issues with teeth.

Our dogs love the oral care food, but they struggle to eat the large size chunks. We mix about 8-10 in with the Small Paws adult food. They work great to clean their teeth, but I wish they came in a smaller size so that we could feed them oral care exclusively.

They loved it and as teeth can be a problem for greyhounds (seems to be the only issue), this food is great. I got a free bag when I donated to the Sydney Dog and Cats homes, great to see a company that sells animal products, supporting this Charity. Kerrie Allen

If someone had told me how this well the prescription dental food works, I wouldn't have a believed him. I took my dog to the vet on Tuesday of this week. After three days my dog's teeth are noticeably cleaner from tartar buildup! And she likes the food! The Nuggets are large for her but she likes them enough to figure out how to chew them which of course is why her teeth have so drastically improved! Wow!

We have been mixing 10 nuggets of this product in each twice daily feeding for 8 years and it has kept our trim 76 pound terrier's teeth in good shape, since he won't cooperate with having his teeth brushed. We didn't like brushing his teeth anyway. However he shied away from eating it at first, until I noticed him struggling to chew it up. Apparently, it's too hard for him to breakup in its current size, and we buy the smaller sized nuggets. I cut them in half and he stopped leaving them in the bowl. It would certainly be appreciated if Hills would make the nuggets in half size since it requires a very sharp knife to get through them, and it's a nuisance too. I've called to ask about this before and there was no reply or action. Hmm, let's think about this...Hill's might sell more dog food if the dogs could eat it more easily. healthy dogs, more sales and profits. win, win win. no brainer. so how about it?

I just got a malemute puppy about 4 months old and she was not doing so good, was in a large litter and had been getting beat up. I went to the pet food store and bought the best food I could find and it caused constant diarrhea. so yesterday I went to the store again and picked this food out. Came home and fed her and she loved it! This morning she had nice solid stool. My dachshunds I have three also went crazy for it and my older dachshund just picks at his food he ate 6 pieces of it and wanted more. I am so glad I found this food and thank you so much. Its fresh and has a coating on it that they love. It also also slowed down the malemute from gobbling the food she had to chew it so I am sure that is better on her digestive system. Thank you so much! I will be purchasing this from now on for all of them and get rid of that fancy over priced food that gave them digestive problems.

My dogs have been eating this food for two weeks. I can see that tartar is disappearing from their teeth. It does what it says. I do wish they would offer same food in smaller pieces because two of my dogs are really small, and the 13 year old has to work extra hard it seems at chewing up the food so I worry she might not get enough to eat since she is eating so slow. I do see it cleaning their teeth very well though, tartar is almost all gone. I have a 4 year old pom, a 4 year old collie mix and a 13 year old pekingese. They all eat it, all their teeth are improving. Like I said, just wish they would offer a small dog version, pieces about half this size would be nice, maybe mix in some other small pieces of regular food so I could be sure my older dog is getting enough food because she is working awful hard to chew this up (she has good teeth, no lack of teeth and no weak teeth or broken teeth or anything like that). Before I bought this my dogs were eating the sensitive skin and stomach science diet.

I'm not sure how well this product works on cleaning teeth, but my dogs consider it a treat and their coats are shiny and healthy.

I bought these thinking: ok maybe my picky greyhound will eat it. No. She started eating these out of the food bin as I was pouring! Her teeth are amazing!

I love the food so far BUT I have 1 mini-pun and 2 Chihuahuas. My Chihuahuas always need extra dental work during their dental visits. So I've become more aware of products to help them. Say this and though great. I get a little less food for about $10-$15 more dollars. There's also a doxie on the front the KIBBLE is HUGE. What the heck?! One of my Chihuahuas is an older guy he takes forever to eat it. I'm probably going to have to cut his in halves. Wish they would give you a preview of kibble size. My dogs have always had small nibbles. I wanted to cry. Ugh lets see how this bag goes.... And I used to be a vet tech

After my dogs teeth were cleaned it was recommended that I switch to a dental care dog food. My vet provided me with a sample of HillsDiet after the procedures. My three dogs have other various heath concerns so I decided to add the dental care to their diet a a treat. The large chunks are perfect and the price is reasonable compared what I would pay for a boxes of treats. My dogs love them and I love that I am taking care of their teeth at the same time. Its hard to find dental treats of this quality and I feel better that HillsDiet was recommended by my vet for this reason.

For some reason my dog loves this food, she will not eat any other type or brand of food, I started giving her this food because she is very small (only 4lbs) in hopes to prevent dental problems. The good news is that she has great teeth....

My dog enjoys this food , and if it helps with his oral care even better.

This food is sooooo good my dog can't wait to eat it. We like it because of its size which helps with reducing plaque buildup on her teeth.

I have a 13 year old pointer husky cross that has always been a picky eater. After many years of much trial and error I have found she is much happier with the choice of both small and large kibble. The Science Diet Oral Care is the larger kibble and she just loves it ! More often than not she always gobbles up the Oral Care kibble first. I can even use it for treats, and she is as happy with it as a cookie. The "VELCRO" closure on the bag is just genius , easiest dog food bags I have ever used. Why don't all brands use that ? Her teeth are amazing as well, certainly doesn't show her age at all. Thanks Science Diet for making my life so much easier !

5 stars keep the coupons coming. I.m unemployed and love to feed my dog and cats the best and it helps by having coupons monthly.

Better than most brands to keep tartar from his teeth for a healthy little guy!

We even use the Oral Care as treats and she comes running!!!

science diet is my dogs choice of dog food that he loves thank you diet science

This product has made our two Yorkies very happy. We never have to worry about them eating & keeping a regular bowel movement, unlike other brands of food. Thanks for keeping Peanut & Lilly happy.
