Hill's Prescription Diet

Hill's Prescription Diet dog food review

Hill's Prescription Diet is a veterinary range. All 48 products are veterinary diets, so they carry no score with us and no band. The catalogue splits into 26 wet and 22 dry, every label is adult, and chicken leads on 34 products. These are foods to use on a vet's advice for a named condition, so the label detail is what the pages give you.

Hill's Prescription Diet: the closer look

The range

Forty eight products, 26 wet and 22 dry, spread across many small lists: i/d, k/d, r/d, z/d, l/d, u/d, d/d, c/d, Metabolic and Derm Complete among them, most a single product each. Every label is adult. Eight products are small-breed formulas.

Ingredients

The lead protein is chicken on 34 products, fish on three and pork on two, with one each of turkey, lamb and duck. Prebiotic appears on several labels, including the i/d digestive care recipes. Five products are flagged joint support and six weight management.

Nutrition

The wet foods are low in protein as fed, from 3.5% on the k/d + Mobility stew to 8.4% on r/d Weight Reduction, with energy of 78 to 145 kcal per 100g. The dry runs 16.7 to 31.1% protein and 311 to 407 kcal per 100g. No pillar reads are given here.

Strengths

  • Wet and dry across many conditions
  • Full label detail on every product
  • Eight small-breed formulas

Limitations

  • No score and no band on any product
  • Every label here is adult
  • Chicken leads most of the range

Where it is less of a fit

  • If you want a scored food, check our banded brands, as veterinary diets carry no score with us
  • If a puppy or senior label is what you want, check the life stages here, since all 48 products are adult
  • If raw or fresh is your preference, check the format list: the range here is wet and dry

Score overview

There is no band on this brand. All 48 products are veterinary diets, and veterinary diets carry no score with us, so protein and processing, nutritional balance, transparency and value are all left unread. What the pages carry is the label detail: format, life stage, protein source and the analysis as fed.

The average score is the mean of each product's overall score out of 100 (using the best-scoring variety per product), not a flat average across every variety.

Figures are derived from current catalogue data for this brand's active foods, and the editorial read is ours. Scores are independent and never affected by commission. This is guidance, not veterinary advice. Last reviewed 9 September 2026.
