Overview
Hill's Science Diet Adult Sensitive Stomach & Skin is a chicken flavored dry food sized for small and mini breed dogs, sold here in a 4 pound bag with an updated formula.
The formula targets two specific complaints, digestive sensitivity and skin issues, using beet pulp, vitamin E, and omega-6 fatty acids rather than a general all-purpose recipe. Hill's markets it as vet recommended, and the small kibble size matches the small and mini breed target on the label.
- Chicken flavor, 4 lb bag
- Small and mini breed formula
- Beet pulp, vitamin E, omega-6 fatty acids
- Adult 1-6 life stage
Who it's for
Small and mini breed adult dogs, roughly ages one to six, that have shown sensitivity in digestion or skin and coat condition. It is not positioned as an everyday food for dogs without those issues.
