Age of Your Dog

Nutrition at each stage of your dog’s life is important. Has your dog reached a milestone birthday like one year or seven years? It may be time to switch to an age-appropriate dog food. Hill’s life stage dog foods are designed to give your puppy, adult or 7+ dog the nutrition he needs.

Adult Dogs (1-7 Years)

To keep dogs healthy in their prime years, adult dog food should provide the right balance of high-quality ingredients, plus antioxidants and omega-6 fatty acids to help support their everyday needs.

Older Dogs (Age 7+)

As your dog enters his golden years, his nutritional requirements will need to support more specific needs for mobility and brain function, such as phytonutrients and L-carnitine.
