Disclaimer: Product information and usage guidelines are provided by the manufacturer. Always use products as directed on the label and consult your veterinarian before use if you have any concerns regarding your pet’s health.

Directions for Use

Use the Feeding Chart: Identify your dog’s body weight and use the corresponding daily cup amount as a starting point, adjusting over time based on body condition and activity level.

Transition Over Seven Days: Mix increasing amounts of this food with decreasing amounts of the current food over a full week to allow the digestive system to adjust without discomfort.

Consider Wet Food Addition: Adding a compatible Hill’s Science Diet Senior 7+ wet food on top of this kibble can help increase daily moisture intake and improve meal palatability for older dogs.

Water at All Times: Keep a clean, fresh bowl of water accessible throughout the day. Senior dogs benefit from consistent hydration, especially when eating a dry food diet.

Review Portions Regularly: Senior dogs’ caloric needs can change with age, activity level, and health status. Check in with a veterinarian at each routine visit to confirm daily feeding amounts remain appropriate.

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

Additional Information

Precautions

Dogs 7 and Above Only: This formula is designed for the life-stage needs of senior dogs and is not appropriate for puppies or adult dogs under 7 years of age.

Not for Pregnant Nursing Dogs: Dogs that are pregnant or nursing should be switched to Hill’s Science Diet Puppy, Hill’s Science Diet Puppy Small Bites, or Hill’s Science Diet Puppy Small Paws dry dog food during that period.

Wheat and Soy Ingredients: This formula contains whole grain wheat and soybean meal. Dogs with a known sensitivity to either ingredient should be evaluated by a veterinarian before being introduced to this product.

Monitor Weight in Large Dogs: Large and giant breed senior dogs can be prone to significant weight fluctuations; regular body condition assessments and vet guidance help keep feeding amounts on track.

Possible Side Effects

Digestive Upset on Transition: Switching foods too quickly without a gradual 7-day introduction period may cause temporary loose stools or mild digestive discomfort in some dogs.

Ingredient Sensitivity: If persistent digestive issues, vomiting, or changes in stool quality develop after transitioning to this food, consult a veterinarian to assess whether the formula is appropriate for your dog.

Storage Information

Dry Storage Required: Keep this bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, heat, and humidity to help maintain the freshness and nutritional quality of the kibble throughout the bag.

Reseal Firmly After Use: This bag comes with a resealable closure, so always press it shut securely after each feeding to keep air and moisture out between servings.

Use Within 3 to 4 Months: Once opened, this dry dog food is best used within 3 to 4 months. The larger bag size makes it especially important to monitor freshness and use within this window.
