Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Small & Mini version different?
It delivers the same sensitive stomach and skin nutrition in a smaller kibble sized for small and mini breeds. Small dogs pick up and chew small kibble more easily, which encourages proper chewing rather than swallowing pieces whole.Is this a prescription or vet-only diet?
No. Hill's Science Diet is the everyday, non-prescription range. Dogs with a diagnosed gastrointestinal or skin condition may need a Hill's Prescription Diet formula recommended by your vet instead.Which dogs is it suitable for?
Adult small and mini breed dogs with sensitive digestion, occasional digestive upsets, sensitive skin or a dull coat. It is not suitable for puppies or for pregnant and nursing dogs.My dog is a small breed but a puppy — can I feed this?
No. Puppies need a growth formula. Move to an adult sensitive stomach recipe once your dog reaches adulthood, which for most small breeds is around 10–12 months.Is it grain free?
No. It uses highly digestible cereal ingredients such as rice and barley. For a grain-free small-breed option, browse our grain-free dry dog food range.How much should I feed a 5kg dog?
Use the daily feeding guide above and match the row to your dog's ideal weight, then adjust to keep them lean. Small dogs need surprisingly little food, and a few extra treats can be a large share of their daily calories — keep treats under roughly 10% of intake.How long before I see a difference?
Stool consistency often improves within one to two weeks after the transition; skin and coat improvements typically take four to eight weeks as the coat grows through. Persistent vomiting, diarrhoea or itching should be assessed by your vet.How do I switch foods without upsetting my dog's stomach?
Transition over about seven days, mixing increasing amounts of the new food with decreasing amounts of the old. For a sensitive dog, stretching this to 10–14 days is often easier on the gut.Can I mix it with wet food?
Yes, and it can help fussy small dogs eat consistently. Reduce the dry amount so the total daily calories stay appropriate. See our wet dog food range.Can I get it delivered in Melbourne?
Yes. ADS Pet Store ships Australia-wide and offers local Melbourne delivery plus Click & Collect from our Moorabbin store.Shop related dog food at ADS Pet Store
