Overview

A 35 pound bag of Hill's Science Diet dry food for adult dogs aged 1 to 6, made with chicken and barley as the named flavor and formulated as a low calorie, everyday diet.

Hill's positions this as its standard adult maintenance formula rather than a prescription line, built around chicken as the allergen-listed protein and barley as a named ingredient. The company markets skin, digestion and lean muscle support and lists the formula as low calorie. It's sized for all breeds, though Hill's own attribute data flags it for medium breeds specifically.
