Would you feed a baby steak? Or eat salty potato chips if you had high blood pressure? Of course not. And just like people, every pet has special nutritional needs. For example, a pet food formulated to meet the requirements of a growing puppy would not be appropriate for an older dog whose heart is stressed from age.

Too little or too much of certain nutrients can be detrimental to a pet's health. And nutrients of importance, and the amount that is ideal, vary by life stage, activity level and health condition.

Nutrient control is the basis of all Hill's products. Our foods are specially formulated to provide proper nutrition specifically for your pet based on age, activity level and physical condition.

Ask your veterinarian to assess your pet's health and recommend a food that provides the optimum balance of nutrients. Or, if your pet is healthy, visit our Product Selector to help determine the right food for your pet.
