Hill's™ Veterinary Health Food is an all-in-one dog food that meets your dog's five essential health needs at every stage of life.
For over 70 years, Hill's has been helping pets achieve lifelong health. Quality, taste, and innovative nutritional advancements that improve your pet's health are our top priorities. With your pet's best interest in mind, Hill's™ has developed the following unique technologies to include in our pet foods:
Dental kibble grinding technology
Hill's™ VetEssentials Adult and Mature Adult Essentials dog food lines feature a special dental technology that provides clinically proven cleaning action to help reduce plaque and tartar, help freshen breath and reduce the long-term risk of gum disease.
Special fibers help the kibble maintain contact with tooth surfaces at the gum line. The kibble then gently scrubs away bacteria-laden plaque and tartar to help maintain good dental health and fresh breath.
Weight management techniques
Hill's™ VetEssentials NeuteredDog formula features breakthrough weight management technology to help your neutered dog maintain an optimal, healthy weight.
The unique blend of ingredients and low fat content that make up Weight Management Technology helps your neutered dog avoid the typical weight gain after spay or neuter surgery while still maintaining lean body mass. Clinically proven to support calorie burning, this Weight Management Technology promotes ideal body weight for a better quality of life.
Neutered dogs require fewer calories to maintain a healthy weight and may gain weight more easily than if they were intact. Over time, excess weight can lead to other conditions, such as reduced mobility. This means maintaining your dog's health in the years following neutering is especially important. Maintaining a healthy weight and providing the building blocks of healthy joints—glucosamine and chondroitin—can help prevent future problems. Prebiotic fiber helps keep your dog's digestive system functioning properly, while potent antioxidant levels strengthen natural defenses for long-term health.

These serving sizes are a guide only, as animal needs vary. Feeding amounts may need to be adjusted to maintain optimal body weight.
Puppies
Miniature Puppy Formula is suitable for feeding from weaning to one year of age. For weaning puppies, add warm water to the pelleted food, soak it, and blend it into a paste. Adjust the amount of water added to the pelleted food until the puppy is willing to eat dry food.
The amount required daily by individual puppies can vary greatly. Therefore, amounts should be adjusted to maintain optimal weight and fed in the form of 2-4 meals per day (the amount may decrease with age).
