Hill's Science Diet Adult Oral Care Dog Dry Food 12kg

It's an okay food. I bought it because it is really tiny bites which is perfect for my 4lb chihuahua. I was looking for something with high protien without alot of fillers, this has more than I thought. It's alright and will continue using it until I find a better replacement food. Any suggestions would be appreciated. He has skin problems so I supplement food with fish oil, with contaminated removed of coarse, that's something to watch for. My dog really likes the flavor of this food, he gobbles it down.

My little senior dog loves this dog food, the delicious chicken flavor is packed into a tiny kibble for small dogs that prefer variety and easily digestible ingredients help support their energy levels. I would highly recommend this product to anyone who wants a dog food made with natural ingredients containing minerals for immune system support as well as heart and kidney health. Go ahead and try it…your pooch will love it too!

Bigger bag and dogs like the food.

I have a Beagle who cannot have dental cleanings by the vet anymore due to her heart condition. I asked my Vet for a prescription plan dog food but found the other two companies make smaller bags that I would have to order two or three bags at the most to last a while. I decided to go with this instead. They are a lot bigger than the usual food she ate but so far she has been able to eat them. I do wish they were a little smaller but I guess the size is what helps with the oral care. My smaller terrier also likes it as well and I like the bag size.

Good for all dogs with teeth.

I have 2 mid size dogs (Mini Aussies). I give them 2 each feeding time as treats. They love them and the dog food does help with their teeth's health. Neither have any trouble at all chewing them. I used to own dachshunds and they have very strong jaws. This is not a rock like food.

Good for small 10 lb dog

My 10 lb dog LOVES these. I’ve never seen him exhibit caching behavior before, but he acts like he is “burying” this food, and then he hides individual kibble pieces in other rooms of the house and finds them later that day to eat them… I have never seen him act this way over food or even treats before! He is keeping busy, that’s for sure, and clearly loves the taste. As far as whether the food helps his plaque/tartar, I’m not sure yet since he just started the food recently. But I’m very happy that he enjoys the food so much. I wasn’t even sure if he would be able to eat it since it is big kibble, but he has no problem at all.

Just what the vet ordered

My ageing dog tends to get a build up of plaque on his teeth. This food is crunchy and helps remove the build up. The additional benefits are that he really seems to enjoy it and it takes him longer to eat than regular kibble. The 12 kg size means I can order less frequently. The only drawback I've found is that crumbs get left behind after the dog has chewed them all up. This just means I have to sweep the floor after every meal.

Like savory tater tots! Can use as treats

Like savory tater tots my medium dog loves them mixed with our smaller kibble, on their own, hand feed, hidden in toys, fits in slow feed bowls. Just needs to get better at chewing, because the size seems to be just small enough for her medium-kong sized mouth to still gulp down one or two at a time lol. Seems more on the airey side and not much resistance (like a cheese puff) when chews do happen, so the lower caloric count makes sense.

Nuggies for Life

We LOVE this food. My vet specifically has always been a hater on "oral health" products. I ask him every time I go and he insists they are a gimmick. He always says, "Think about it. If someone said you could eat cookies instead of brushing your teeth, do you think it would work? It doesn't do anything". I have tried all the different water additives and teeth cleaning treats and this is the first time I have ever noticed a difference. My smaller dog has historically high plaque and stinky breath. We brush his teeth all the time and have had them done professionally under anesthesia twice and he just has always had a lot of plaque build up. After switching to this food, his breath doesn't smell like a dead fish anymore! It's been a notable improvement. I still ... MoreWe LOVE this food.

I will say that the individual pieces of kibble are rather large, which is what I think turns people off, but it's the chewing/breakdown part of it that actually cleans their teeth somehow. Our small dog is about 30 pounds and he does fine. Both our dogs love their "nuggies"!

SD Oral Care Gives Amazing Results

I was not convinced a dry dog food would be able to clean my dachshund's teeth, which are notorious for getting brown quickly, but was willing to try after many years of unsuccessful attempts to "brush" their teeth with a canine toothbrush. SD Oral care dog food is amazing! Jack and Queenie's teeth haven't been this white and shiny since they were pups!! Because of the large size of the kibbles, I mix the Oral care with their SD small bites and not only does this cause excitement for them having two different kibble types in their bowls but they also like to pick out the oral care kibbles and eat them first - many times trying to steal the Oral care kibbles form each other's bowls! I am very pleased with the results I have seen in both their teeth and their ... MoreI was not convinced a dry dog food would be able to clean my dachshund's teeth, which are notorious for getting brown quickly, but was willing to try after many years of unsuccessful attempts to "brush" their teeth with a canine toothbrush.

Highly recommend SD Oral care to anyone who has a pup with teeth that need some TLC!

Yes definitely.Small minature poodle loves them & it works

My small minature poodle loves them & they really work on the extreme plaque build up of his teeth. Although they are large (varying slightly in size/weight), he certainly manages to crunch them with such gusto & positive results, once he starts. Maybe the appearance of the size, is more daunting for the dog, that their ability to eat/consume them. Found a bit of mince rubbed on outside made Oral Care them more appealling, then once he starts. Found that approx 8 a day seems best for him, served first for his afternoon/evening meal, then topped up with recommended amount (for weight of dog) of Small Paws afterwards. Highly recommended.
