Collection: Hill's Science Plan Puppy

Hill's puppy food is available in Small & Mini (up to 10kg adult weight), Medium (10-25kg), and Large Breed (25kg+). Each has kibble sized for the breed and nutrition tailored to the growth rate, including adjusted calcium for large breed joint development.

Hill's puppy food is for puppies from weaning until approximately 1 year old. Large breed puppies may continue slightly longer. It is also suitable for pregnant and nursing dogs due to its higher protein and energy content.

Hill's Perfect Digestion Puppy contains ActivBiome+, an exclusive prebiotic blend of ground pecan shell, flaxseed, beet pulp, citrus pulp, and cranberries. Made with chicken and brown rice for gentle digestion, it nourishes the gut microbiome during the critical growth period.

Yes. All Hill's puppy formulas contain DHA from fish oil, which supports healthy brain and eye development during the critical puppy growth stage. The dry food contains 1.2% fish oil as a key source of these essential fatty acids.

Hill's puppy dry food is available in chicken, lamb & rice, and chicken & brown rice (Perfect Digestion). Wet food and mousse options are chicken-flavoured. All flavours provide complete, balanced nutrition for growing puppies.

Yes. Hill's Large Breed Puppy food has adjusted calcium and phosphorus levels to support controlled growth and protect developing joints in puppies that will weigh 25kg or more as adults. The kibble is also larger to suit bigger mouths.

Most puppies should transition to Hill's adult food at around 12 months. Transition gradually over 7 days by mixing increasing amounts of adult food with puppy food to prevent digestive upset.

Yes. Hill's puppy food is recommended for pregnant and nursing dogs because it provides the higher protein and energy they need. Switch to puppy food during pregnancy and continue until puppies are weaned.
