Hill's Prescription Diet

Hill's Prescription Diet i/d Sensitive Dog Food 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.

i/d Sensitive belongs to the Prescription Diet range. It is an egg and rice based kibble, and Hill's puts it forward for dogs whose digestion and skin are being looked after together.

DryAdult

A veterinary diet, formulated for a diagnosed condition and fed on a vet's advice, so we give it no score. Hill's puts i/d Sensitive forward for dogs whose digestion and skin are being looked after together. Egg is the animal protein it is built on.
