A food my dogs have loved for years
My dogs have been eating Hill’s Science Diet Small & Mini for many years, and it has become one of the foods I trust most for them. They absolutely love the chicken and brown rice flavor, and I feel good knowing they are eating a food made specifically for small and mini breeds. The small kibble size makes it very easy for them to chew and eat, and I also like that the crunchy pieces help support their dental health. The kibble size works well for my dogs, and they have always enjoyed eating it. I also appreciate the consistent quality and that I can easily find it when I need to restock. After using it for so many years, I can honestly say this is a food I’m very happy to continue buying for my dogs.

She LOVES it and my dog hates everything.
My Yorkie won't eat anything. Well, she likes cat food and people food but hates dog food. I have tried all kinds of dry food plus many kinds of wet food including the really high priced gourmet types and she just isn't interested. I had been feeding her Kibbles and Bits for small dogs and she would take a little mouthful and bring it into the living room and set it down then eat the pieces one by one. But only when she was so hungry that she had no choice. I started feeding her people food more and more so she would not walk around hungry all the time. Molly weighed 8 pounds but gained a few pounds since I gave up and started sharing my diner with her, But I worried that she wasn't getting the nutrition she needed so I went looking for a dry dog food that she may like and that was very small. She likes tiny pieces, I chose this one based on reviews and the nutrition in it, To my absolute delight, Molly loves this food! I can't believe it. I gave her a little handful like it was a treat at first and she gobbled it up. Then I poured a small bowl of the food and, without anything else to lure her into eating, she ate a considerable amount. It wasn't a phase either. She has been eating this food for a while and really likes it. I don't have to lace it with ground beef or cheese or any of things I had to do with her other food (wet or dry). I do still offer her wet food and I have made her some homemade dog food from lean beef and veggies but this Hill's Science Diet food seems to be the magic food that Molly likes, She has no trouble chewing and digesting the food and her stools are firm and "healthy" looking. She is energetic and her coat and eyes shine. My vet is pleased because my dog was getting a little bit roly poly eating snacks and people food and wasn't getting the proper nutrition. He has given the thumbs up to this food and has told me to throw away the Kibbles and Bits because it's not a quality food. This one is. It is pricier than some others but, to see my dog eat more than just a few pieces and to know she is eating something that is giving her the nutrition she needs is well worth it. Every dog is different and some will eat anything. But for my picky diva, this food is basically the only one she actually likes. I will keep buying it for her and hope she doesn't tire of it. The pieces are really little and crunchy and they must taste god because Molly would starve before she would eat something she doesn't like. For us, this food id a 5+ star product.

Perfect for our small dogs
We have a malti-poo and a yorki-poo and they both have been using this food for multiple years now. They've never had an upset stomach from it and they love the flavor. Science Diet had always come highly recommended to us and I see why. No reason for use to try any other brand to be honest. Best and healthiest dry food you can get your small dog!

Great pet food for smaller dogs.
My small dogs love this food, easy for them to chew and easy on their stomachs, if you own dogs you know from time to time they will accidents, I am meaning things coming out of both ends, mainly in the middle of the night when your half asleep, and the sound of your dog dry heaving will wake the heaviest sleeper up. Since using these dog food it rarely happens, this dog food is almost all ways sound out or very pricey in the big box stores but can always find it on Amazon at a very reasonable price.

So far, so good
I have a little chi-weenie who is nearly 16 years old, moving slower, and doesn't have great teeth anymore. The small kibble in this dry dog food is the perfect size for him. When mixed with his wet food, he can easily eat it without any tooth discomfort. I transitioned him slowly, and he didn't have any problems, so it seems like he is enjoying the flavor. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 only because of the smell. Not great and I have to hold my breath a little when scooping up the food for my little guy to eat. He apparently doesn't have a issue with it, so I guess it's just my preference.

Easy to transition from puppy to adult formula. My pups love it!
My pups love this small rich kibble dry or with a topper . They are 2 small dauschunds and really like the chicken and rice formula. It was easy to transition from the puppy version of this kibble to the adult formula. It definitely makes their coats shiny...

Perfect Nutrition for Small Breeds!
Hill's Science Diet Adult Small & Mini Chicken has been a fantastic choice for my small dog. The kibble size is ideal for tiny mouths, and the texture is easy to chew. I’ve noticed improved energy levels and a shinier coat since switching to this formula. It’s made with quality ingredients like chicken and brown rice, and tailored specifically for small and mini breeds in their prime. My dog loves the taste, and I love the peace of mind knowing it’s backed by trusted science and nutrition expertise. Highly recommended for small breed owners looking for balanced, everyday nutrition!
