Questions
How do I change my prescription dog food order from a 25lb bag to a 17.6lb bag?
- You can cancel your current autoship order and place a new order with the smaller bag size.
Helpful?
Did they change the size of the 25lb bag? With the change of the picture, the bag seems to contain less food. I can fit it in the bin I have where I couldn't before and I also run out quicker. I have repeat delivery and have had to order much sooner.
- It is possible. After our dog being on z/d for two years we had to change her diet as she got pancreatitis. Was it the z/d? Wasn't anything else since that was all she ate.
Helpful?
Has anybody noticed the color of the poop that sacked for a few days if it turns dark brown almost black concerned puppy owner with allergies!!!
- No, That has not happened with us and we have 2 dogs age 6 and 8 years old on this dog food.
Helpful?
Did anyone’s dog get worse before getting better?
- My girlie (Ozzie) maintained a status quo, no better and no worse on the z/d. Her allergy symptoms manifest as scratching especially her ears repeated frequent ear infections, She chewed on her front paws. I answered your question so you can get some idea of how many had decreased symptoms or more/increased symptoms. She has changed to a different brand of food and is seeing a skin and allergy specialist. She is showing the first signs of improvement I’ve seen.

Does this food have the S/O+ Shield component?
Is this dog food grain free?
- Sorry! I originally said yes, but I believe I was incorrect.

I have a 4 months French bulldog and I wanted to know if it’s for puppies too
- I'm sorry, I do not know if it is for puppies too. I would ask your vet how they feel about feeding a 4 month old dog the Hills Z/D. My very allergic bubs started eating this brand when he was around a year old. It took a while because I tried different brands and even raw before I tried Hills Z/D. Raw worked well with eliminating his constant itch and red muzzle, but he always had soft stool. Long story short, it seems like my dog is allergic to seafood - and most dog foods have omega-3 from fish oil. In the end, Hills Z/D is amazing for my dog! I believe the soft food version has had recall issues. But the dry dog food hasn't. I hope this is helpful.

My shelters have been eating this food for years. However, we just bought a new bag and since we started feeding it to my dogs they have been acting differently. They leave half of the food in their bowls and don’t seem interested in eating it.
- This happened with my dog, Geo - when I first opened a 25 lb bag! He was hesitant to eat it, and his bowel movements (timing and texture) changed. After a few days (to ensure it was the food), I ordered another bag (17 lb bag so as to not have to throw away a 25 lb bag), and he is back to normal!
Helpful?
I am doing a food trial using this dog food to rule out food allergies. I noticed there is chicken liver in the food. How is that going to rule out chicken as an allergy? It is the same as chicken in other dog foods correct?
- according to my vet, it is hydrolyzed chicken which means all of the allergens have been taken out

Recently my vet suggested changing my Golden Doodles food from Blue Buffalo Freedom Chicken recipe to ZD Hills Prescription Diet due to reoccurring ear infections and licking of paws. She thought a digestive and allergy issue. Is there a comparable brand or food that may be a better fit? Although our Blue Buffalo is pricing, this price point for the ZD is not attainable for us to continue. She spoke of hydrolized protein being important but it's not economical either. Thank you!
I currently feed my male dog prescription Hill's z/d dry dog food I get from his vet. My female dog, who is on a normal food diet and does not need z/d food, wants to eat only the male's z/d food. It is challenging keeping them separated at meal time. Is there a comparable non-prescription food I can feed my female from Hill's that I can buy from Petco at a (considerably) lower price than the z/d?
DRY FOOD RECOMMENDATION for 2 health Issues: Raised skin-scab bumps and past history with crystals in urine; Royal Canin, Hills or Purina? Presently I am using a Grain Free, Holistic Limited Ingredient dog food.
Our 1 1/2 year old female ragdoll feline started loosing patches of fur for last 2 weeks. No scabs/raw spots on skin. Vetinarian concludes not fleas or ringworm. No known environmental changes or new house products. Now starting Royal Canin Hydrolyzed Protein Adult HP for 2-3 weeks in case it's food allergies. It's $50 for 7.7 lbs. Is there a less expensive equivalent Purina or other brand?? Thanks from Florida.
Dove has been on prescription food by hills science I’d low fat food because her pancreas can’t handle the fat from what I was told. Well we moved to Germany and won’t be getting her food in time and won’t be able to see a vet until 2 more weeks. the food we’ve been giving her is giving her diarrhea. So I was wondering what food is similar to hills science I’d low fat that I can get right away? Thank you.
Hello, Our french bulldog has some food allergies (check image of test results in attachment). We are searching for a food that can go along with his allergy problems. At the moment we feed him with Exclusion Hypoalergenic.We were suggested by vet to try Hills d/d. They said that rice wont be a problem for him (even though he is allergic to rice) because its hypoallergenic food.Can you suggest what food would be the best pick plus some alternatives in case this one isnt available here in EU?
