Directions for Use

Refer to Feeding Chart: Use your dog’s body weight to find the appropriate daily cup amount, then monitor body condition over time and adjust portions as needed.

Transition Gradually: When switching from a different food, blend increasing amounts of this formula with decreasing amounts of the previous food over a full 7-day period.

Pair With Wet Food: This dry kibble can be combined with a compatible Hill’s Science Diet Senior 7+ wet food to add variety and daily moisture to your senior dog’s diet.

Fresh Water Always: Keep a clean, full bowl of water accessible at all times alongside every meal to support hydration and kidney health in senior dogs.

Revisit Portions With Your Vet: As dogs age further into their senior years, nutritional needs shift. Discuss whether feeding amounts remain appropriate at each veterinary checkup.

Keep Packaging Away: Always keep the bag and any discarded packaging out of reach of pets and children at all times to prevent the risk of accidental suffocation.
