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.
Puppies (Under Age 1)
Hill’s Science Diet Puppy dry food is rich in flavour & carefully formulated with vital nutrients to support 5 essential building blocks for lifelong health, so they get their best start in life & grow to their full potential.
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.
Nutrition Every Dog Needs
Maybe your dog has gained a few kilos, his breath could be fresher, or perhaps you're interested in a dog food that uses natural ingredients. Either way, the best dog food is the one that puts your pet's health first.
