There are so many food brands in the market but which one is the best dog or cat food for your pet’s health. Every pet parent wants to feed their pet with the best that is available. Why does your dog need the best dog food? Proper nutrition every day is the key for a healthy life. Keep in mind that there’s no one food that is best for all pets.
As part of Hills Science Diet “Healthier Pets, Happier Lives” campaign, we are sharing 3 Ways To Choose The Best Food For Your Pet
1) As a Pet Parent, get educated about pet health:nutrition. It’s crucial and beneficial to have the knowledge to care for your pet. There are many resources particularly on-line such as petMd which offers a Nutrition Center for cats and dogs.
2) Your dog’s VET is a great resource for learning pet’s health needs. We shared on a previous post the Importance of Taking Your Pet to the VET and the benefits of proper pet preventive care. Work with your vet to determine the right food for your dog’s health.
Reminder: Hill’s Pet Nutrition is helping pet parents by giving away $100 towards a vet checkup, every day for 90 days. To enter, simply go to Hills Pet Healthy Pets Happy Life
3) Your PET plays a crucial role in selecting the best food. Choose foods designed for your pet’s lifestage and health conditions. There are special formulated foods that manage certain pet health conditions. One of the condition you need to consider is your dog’s age. A puppy or kitten will have a different nutritional needs than an adult or senior pet.
Pet Food Transition
Your pet needs time to acclimate to change in diet. It is important that you transition your pet gradually to a new food. It must be done in stages for a week or sometimes longer. For more information on transitioning your dog to a new food, read How Do I Switch or Transition Foods For My Dog. For transitioning your cat to a new food, click here.
Choosing the right food makes mealtime special for both you and your pet. Does your pet have special nutritional needs?

Great wisdom to research pet foods. I know Science Diet is 4D meat (dead, dying, diseased, disabled) laced with carcinogens. Known as Science Death by those feeding the few human grade pet foods available or make their own. Check out what the well known holistic, integrated vets suggest.They are not on SD payroll and are committed to pet health, not pet profits.
Hello Mary,
Hill’s is a company born of a veterinarian’s vision over 70 years ago, and are proud of the fact that their pet foods are veterinarians’ number one choice to feed their own pets and they have maintained a strong, respectable bond with the veterinary profession from the start. While they are a company of veterinarians working with veterinarians, it should be made clear that Hill’s never pays veterinarians to recommend their pet foods. Every pet’s health is their highest priority and Hill’s never compromises on quality; they take the quality and safety of their pet food very seriously. Hill’s sources their meat products from processing plants that only process foods for human consumption from USDA inspected animals, and under no circumstances uses meat products that come from animals that were disabled, diseased, down or dead. Additionally, their plants go through a sanitation inspection twice weekly – by Hill’s and a contracted pest control company. They demand compliance with current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) and Hill’s high quality standards, so your pet’s food is produced under clean and sanitary conditions. You can read more about Hill’s quality and safety standards here:https://www.hillspet.com/products/products-quality-and-safety.html

Great post, many thanks Sugar. It’s important to look at the ingredients and to choose the food what fits to us than to look for a colorful package or a cute shape of the food.
Great tips, Sugar. I never bothered asking my vet before because they usually only recommend the one brand that they sell at their office.
