You have most likely heard the saying, “You are what you eat.”, and it is true. A good diet makes for a good life not only with humans, but with your pets. Hill’s Science Diet can help your pet receive a good diet with the proper nutrition that is key to staying healthy.
With so many pet foods on the market these days, finding the best dog food or best cat food is like finding your way through a jungle! If you need assistance figuring out which food is healthy dog food or healthy cat food for your pet, check with your veterinarian. Part of your pet health program as I mentioned in my last post on this subject is to visit your veterinarian at least once a year. During your visit, you should always discuss your pet’s feeding plan as it changes over time depending on age and health.
Every pet has their own nutritional needs depending on their age, and health condition. Hill’s Science Diet has a wide variety of foods to meet those needs. Some dogs, for example, may need a food like Hill’s Adult Perfect Weight to help them slim down and maintain a good weight. Some dogs may have dental issues making Hill’s Adult Oral Care a good choice. There are so many choices, and your veterinarian is the best one to advise you on the best food for your pet.
When you change your pets food, make sure and transition from the old food to the new food over the course of about a week. Changing food too quickly can cause some digestion problems and/or an upset stomach. If you need some pointers, Hill’s has some useful tips for making the transition a smooth one.
A pet with proper nutrition is not only happy, they are healthy, and will have the best chance to lead a longer life! Remember, don’t just get happy, #gethealthyhappy with Hill’s Science Diet

Hi Y’all!
Yep, I’ve eaten nothing but what the vet told me to eat since forever. My last visit was to a new vet who put me on a much more interesting food. You may have seen me checking out the delivery in one of my recent blog posts. For the most part, though, my opinion is that the vets don’t have to eat it, we do. So, my question to you is, how do they know whether it tastes good or not?
Y’all come by now,
Hawk aka BrownDog
We usually find the food brand on our own, but we discuss it with the vet to make sure it is a good food for us and we talk about it at every vet visit. I guess they don’t know how it tastes, but they know what is out there and they can tell you what is quality and what is not. Mom says sometimes we have to even eat stuff we don’t like, but so far, that hasn’t happened to us dogs, but the cats sometimes have food they don’t like. They will start eating it in time, though. Some people need help just figuring out what to try. Every situation is different.
So true! Love your active dog photos and floppy ears! heehee!
Thank you. Mom loves to watch our ears fly!
With all the hikes, playing and running around how do you guys always look so clean? Great pictures!
We have our dirty moments but it usually dries and falls off before we get back home.
It’s all about what you put into the body – that’s for sure. We are always careful about what we feed ourselves and our dogs…that’s why our database is so handy 😉
We all, including Mom, enjoy some junk food too, but good healthy meals are the basis of health. Everything builds on that.
You always look so very healthy and happy! XOXO Sparkle the PBGV
So far I am pretty healthy and usually happy unless Bailie is getting on my nerves.
It is always a plus when healthy can be yummy too!
We love our food, sometimes the cats aren’t as pleased, but in that case cat bro Bert starts stealing from others.
you’re so right, there are so many food brands on the market and it’s hard to make a decision. fortunately we learnt some things t at slim doggy and so we can “read” and “translate” the ingredients of my food.
We listened to what others were eating, checked them on the slimdoggy app and they decided.
Great advice and great photos. Stay fit gals.
We will do our best…your gang too!
Yes nutrition is key too a healthy pup and people. Happy Fit Dog Friday! – Petnetio
I think any living creature needs healthy food.
Love that second photo, looks like you guys are really playing it up for the camera!
Nope, just another day of chase and wrestle, camera or not, always the same game and wee love it.
Lots of good info. Mom spends lots of time finding the best for us

We have switched around a bit trying to find the right fit, but I think we have it for now.
You always look happy and healthy! Kilo loves Bullwrinkles products, they are super fresh, healthy and yummy. Great post 🙂
Thank you. I am healthy and usually pretty happy too!
We have to be super careful of the food we buy – making sure it doesn’t have any kind of poultry in it – we stick mainly to fish based or venison/bison mixes.
Thankfully we don’t have any issues, but a lot of dogs seem to have troubles with chicken.
We agree about how important diet is in order to have happy and healthy pets. I don’t see eye to eye with our vet as far as food goes though. I don’t like the brand he sells. We do discuss types of food, but just not brands.
We don’t get our food at the vet and they mainly have special diet foods for health issues anyway. We discuss food types more than brands, but since all are a healthy weight it isn’t a big issue.
I tried the weight-loss formula for Beamer and it made a big difference. He thought it was great because I even fed him a little more than usual (and he still lost some weight).
I wish I could use weightloss for cat bro Bert, but he is on a special diet for urinary stuff. He is a pretty good weight finally but he is so food crazy!
We love Hill’s at our home too. ♥
Then we can eat together??? 🙂
A good diet makes for happy fit dogs!
That’s right!
My huskies have the whole active thing down pat! They let me know if i’m being to lazy lol!
Great pics!

Huskies are great action dogs!
Healthy makes happy! Nutrition is so important when it comes to our pets. Cool giveaway from Hills too, nice job getting the information out there Emma. Have a great weekend!
Thank you! Have fun at Hollywoofs!
It can definitely be like a jungle Emma! Good comparison.
Thank you and it is a real jungle!
Love the pictures of you and Bailie running. Your mom gets some good action shots!
Thanks. Mom says she could watch us run forever.
