Small Paws, Big Appetite: Road Trip

Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2024

I must confess: I haven't had the pleasure of sinking my teeth into Hill's Science Diet Dry Dog Food, Adult, Small Paws For Small Breed Dogs, Chicken Meal & Rice, 4.5 lb. Bag. So I will let my 8lb killa the mighty Lord Chewbacca leave this review.

“As a discerning eight-pound connoisseur of all things delicious, my humans have regaled me with tales of its culinary delights, and I simply must share my thoughts.

Picture this: we're on a road trip vacation, cruising down the highway with the wind in my fur, when disaster strikes – we run out of food! Panic ensues, but fear not, dear humans, for I am a resourceful pup. With a flick of my paw and a bark of determination, I insisted that my human Amazon 2 Day a holdover bag sent to her daughter's house (who has my biological brother King Marley) faster than you can say ‘squirrel!’

Now, onto the review. I’ve been enjoying this brand of dry kibble for just over a year now. At first I was a bit skeptical but my human assure me that it's a feast fit for a king – or in my case, a tiny canine Lord with a big appetite. It’s made with chicken meal and rice, it honors its promise to tantalize even the pickiest of palates. Which works out perfectly because I’m not a fan of beef. Please do not tell my brother King Marley because he still sends me frozen steaks from Omaha every year for my birthday.

But let's talk packaging – a 4.5 lb. bag, perfectly sized for small paws & teeth like mine. It's like they knew I have a small mouth! And with its convenient resealable design, my humans can keep my kibble fresh and tasty, ensuring that every meal is a culinary adventure. Especially when my meal is late I can break into the bag!

So, dear reader, rest assured, I give it two paws up! That translates to 4 or 5 stars for my human. With its delicious flavor and convenient packaging, it's a must-have for any discerning canine connoisseur. Bon appétit, my furry friends!”

Human remarks – “I am very happy he enjoys his kibble. However, what he did not say is I am required to put a little topper on his dry kibble. It can be bacon bits, tiny pieces of jerky, or a tiny amount of wet dog food. Chewy is an excited eater. He wants his meals on time twice a day and eats his portions right away.”

My Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Loves it

Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2024

The quality of the food is great. It was recommended by our vet. I have a small breed and the small bits are easy for her to eat and she seems to love it. She’s a cavalier King Charles spaniel and started with the puppy small bites and at a year old moves to the small bites. No loose stool and uses the bathroom shortly after eating each time. I feel like it’s a healthy and nutritional choice for her. She’s happy! I signed up for the subscription so I never run out! She eats a cup twice a day so my subscription is for every 3 weeks.

So I needed a dog food packet quickly so this really saved me and my dogs life. I used this packet for my little Shih Tzu and he absolutely loves this food. He is over the heels with it. It has good quality. The bag doesn’t rip and the Ziploc is not like those other ones that are, like not really well. The Ziploc works amazing this is perfect for your Shih Tzu. For your Maltese and any small dogs this is amazing overall I wait this one five stars it’s amazing and I hope y’all having a good day scrolling on Amazon

I like the small pellets, good for small dogs. My dog eats this consistently so flavor must be good. Price is good for quality food.

Our Yorkie likes it. She has lost some teeth and the tiny kibble is easy for her to swallow.

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (4/5)

Finding the best food for our pets is always a top priority for us as caring pet owners. I fed my small dog Hill's Science Diet Dry Dog Food for Small Paws since I care about his health. After including it in my dog's diet for a while, I was pleased to see the results. This specific formula provides a balanced diet for dogs, but there are a few minor issues that prevent me from giving it 5 stars.

My first impression of Hill's Science Diet Small Paws Dry Dog Food is that it was formulated specifically with small breeds in mind. This formula appears to take into account the specific dietary needs of little dogs. Using chicken meal and rice as the main ingredients shows that care was taken to include nutritious foods that are also simple to digest. I like that it doesn't contain any of the standard fillers, so I know that my dog is getting the most out of each serving.

Changing over to this food for my dog was surprisingly easy. My canine companion is very finicky, but he quickly warmed up to this meal. Kibbles of this size are just right for his little mouth and make supper a breeze. The texture appears to be moderately crunchy while yet being easy to chew, which is important for the dental health of toy and miniature breeds.

The noticeable change in my dog's coat and energy levels since switching to this dog food is what really stands out. The nutritional content appears to be improving his overall health, as evidenced by his fur becoming shinier and softer. His energy levels have been stable and consistent, which is a result of the formula's ability to meet all of his nutritional needs.

The Hill's Science Diet Small Paws formula contains an impressive number of nutrients. The presence of Omega-6 fatty acids and antioxidants aids in skin and coat health and immune system function. This dog food's holistic approach to canine nutrition gives me peace of mind because it mirrors my own goals for my pet's diet.

However, there are always ways to enhance a product. Even though I found the list of ingredients to be quite impressive in general, I did notice that by-products and corn gluten meal were included. None of these are deal-breakers, but I think the recipe would be better without them. In addition, some pet owners may find the 4.5-pound bag size insufficient, requiring more frequent purchases.

The kibble stays fresh and is easily accessible because to the resealable bag design. It's a minor point, but it demonstrates that Hill's Science Diet has an awareness of the significance of correct storage in maintaining product quality.

This dog food distinguishes apart from the competition in more ways than one. Despite the fact that it isn't the cheapest option available, I feel confident in recommending it to my dog because of the value it delivers in terms of nutritional content and the great influence it has had on his health. When you factor in the possibility of reduced veterinarian expenditures due to increased health, the initial outlay seems more reasonable.

To sum up, Hill's Science Diet Dry Dog Food for tiny Paws is an excellent option for health-conscious owners of tiny breed dogs. Its beneficial effects on coat and energy levels, as well as its extensive vitamin profile, make it a worthwhile addition to the diet of any pet, but especially those of tiny breeds. Even though the formula may use some tweaks in terms of ingredients and packaging, it is still a safe and nutritious choice for our pets.

Highly recommended by my dogs

Reviewed in the United States on June 11, 2024

My preference is to feed my two smaller dogs a high-quality kibble, often complimented by a few bites of my healthy dinner. They are very pleased with this product, and the smaller guy (an 8 lb. Chihuahua) could be cast in a dog food commercial while he's eating it. It's a waste to feed dogs something that doesn't interest or appeal to them. They're happy, and I believe they're being well fed.
