You know what should happen with Hills Science Diet? People should just STOP buying it! It has been known for a long time that it is terrible food. Let the crap rot on the shelves of all the vets that have prostituted themselves to Hills! Shame on them for using their credentials and their patient’s trust in them to profit from such an unhealthy and downright dangerous product, but DOUBLE shame on pet owners who all have the internet at their disposal, and can easily take the time to research their pet’s food! Vets like human doctors are notorious for being nutrition morons.

This stuff is awful. My local SPCA feeds it to their dogs and foster dogs. So when I adopted my dog, I bought a small bag of it to mix in with what I was going to switch her to – Blue Buffalo. I would put her food in a bowl and mix in some Blue. She would pick out all the Blue, and by the time she was done eating, there was still a bunch of Science Diet left in the bowl, but not a single piece of Blue.
I now feed Prey Model Raw(best thing EVER, look it up!) and she’s loving it.

I recently switched to Science Diet and it has turned my dog into a pooping machine! Not even joking, she went from one bowel movement a day to 4-5!!! How is this healthy for a dog to digest food so fast?? She just always seems hungry. I wonder if she’s even getting any nutrition?? It’s a lot of money just for her to go through it so quick! I’m getting her away from this brand quick and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone!!

I did once ask my vet what he fed his dogs – his answer? Kirkland Lamb and Rice. That was years ago, don’t know if he still feeds it. A “grading chart” I have lists Science Diet as an “F” – just a little better than some of the grocery store garbage. Most vets “push” SD because they SELL it. I figured if my vet fed his dogs Kirkland, it was probably good enough for my dogs – tho sometimes have to resort to Nutro Natural Choice since our nearest Costco is over 60 miles away. The Nutro is the best I can buy locally.

If you ask your vet what they feed their cat or dog, I can almost guarantee it, they’ll tell you it’s NOT Science Diet. S.D. is CRAP!

i have been buying hills sensitive stomach for my dog but i just found out new quarintine regulations and that u are going to make the bags smaller and charge the same. I can say now i will not buy the product anymore i will not be ripped off so please dont let this happen. I am a single mum studying full time so i want my moneys worth and i think if you follow suit to the supermarkets making things smaller and charging the same is so wrong. I can say for sure you will loose alot of customers i am looking into other companies so if u decide to do this and rip people off i will go elsewhere. thanks alicia gillett

We used Science Diet for the better part of ten days when our black Lab was a puppy. It was awful; we intuitively knew it was poor quality the moment we opened it, because the smell that came out of that kibble, every bag we bought of it — was intolerable, even rancid. Smelled up the whole house, so much so we had to keep it tucked away in a remote closet in the basement. Even so, just to make sure, we bought several more bags from different sources to make sure we hadn’t just gotten a bad batch; two bags came from two different veterinarians. It continued to make our dog sick. And evidently Science Diet must be making rather lucrative deals with veterinarians all over the country, as s o many of them push this dreck. Even the MSPCA in Boston, one of the best animal hospitals in the country, dole it out. Science Diet is total garbage; stay away! Stick to a high quality food, such as Orijen or Holistic Select (Eagle Pack) …
