Hill's Prescription Diet

Hill's Prescription Diet i/d Puppy Food — canned (with Chicken) review

We don't put a score on this food. It is a veterinary diet, formulated for a diagnosed condition and meant to be fed on a vet's advice. Your vet has seen your dog and we have not, so a number from us could only pull you towards their advice or away from it, and neither of those is ours to do. What follows is what the label declares, what the analysis works out at, and where to buy it, with no judgement attached to any of it.

The tin is i/d Puppy, a chicken based digestive care food from Hill's Prescription Diet range. The maker intends it for growing dogs whose stomachs are being settled under veterinary direction.

WetAdult

Hill's i/d Puppy is a chicken based digestive care tin for growing dogs whose stomachs are being settled under a vet's direction. We do not put a score on it. The label stays in category language the whole way down, with chicken at 7% and egg the only animals you can name.

Trace elements listed one by one, each with its own figure
A puppy that takes to a soft tin, at 108 kcal per 100g

Worth watching

Meat and animal derivatives, cereals and other headings that name no species
Too little detail on the tin to pin down what a young dog reacts to
A feeding guide with only two points, so the amount comes from the vet

The details

Dog fit

Sold for growing puppies on a vet's direction. Ask the vet for the daily amount before ordering, since the guide leaves a wide gap for a puppy growing through it.
