Hill’s Science Plan Medium Breed Puppy Chicken Dry Dog Food

Medium breed puppies need dog food that supports steady, balanced growth through to adulthood at around 12 months. Hill's Science Plan Medium Puppy is formulated with the right balance of ingredients and minerals to support healthy development without encouraging growth that is too fast, which can lead to skeletal problems.

The recipe uses chicken and turkey meal for concentrated, high-quality protein that builds lean muscle. DHA from fish oil supports healthy brain and eye development during the critical first year, while carefully balanced calcium and phosphorus promote strong bones and teeth. The formula is designed to provide the energy medium breed puppies need for play, learning, and growth.

With three bag sizes from 800g to 12kg, you can start small to confirm your puppy enjoys the recipe, then move up to the 12kg bag for better value. This food is also suitable for pregnant and nursing medium breed dogs, and pairs well with Hill's Puppy wet food for a mixed-feeding routine.

DHA for Brain & Eye Development: Fish oil-derived DHA supports healthy brain function and sharp vision during your puppy's rapid growth phase.
