Overview

A 27.5 lb bag of Hill's Science Diet dry kibble formulated for large breed puppies in chicken and brown rice flavor. Suited to owners raising a big breed puppy who want a vet formulated growth diet rather than an all life stages food.

Hill's markets this as a veterinary diet line, and the formula leans into that with DHA for brain and eye development plus a large breed mineral balance meant to support controlled bone growth. It sits toward the pricier end of puppy kibble, and buyers should confirm large breed genuinely matches their dog rather than assuming any puppy food works the same way.

  • 27.5 lb bag, chicken and brown rice flavor
  • Veterinary diet formulated for large breed puppies
  • DHA for brain and eye development
  • Bone, joint, muscle, skin and digestive support claims

Who it's for

Owners of large or giant breed puppies looking for a chicken based dry food with a bone and joint focus. Not aimed at small or medium breed puppies, since the formula is calibrated specifically for large breed growth.
