Small & Mini, Adult 1-6, Small & Mini Breeds Premium Nutrition, Dry Dog Food, Chicken & Brown Rice, 4.5 lb Bag

My two picky, picky little Poms willingly eat this food. I had been making their food because they have easily upset stomachs, wouldn’t touch commercially prepared food like Fresh Pet or Farmer’s Dog, and they refused all attempts at supplementing/switching to dry food - until we tried this. It is truly just perfectly sized for tiny mouths and teeth, which makes it inviting. They were a little resistant at first and would just occasionally nibble, but I always kept a couple of tablespoons available by their water and they eventually made the switch themselves because they liked it. I sprinkle a probiotic powder on it that they love and that starts them eating. They are satisfied, healthier, no stomach issues or nasty burps or poo, and I no longer cook for my dogs! The benefits of this food are worth the cost to me.

​This isn't just "dog food"; it’s precision engineering for your best friend. While it sits at a more premium price point than grocery store brands, the quality of the ingredients and the peace of mind knowing it’s backed by decades of veterinary research make it a worthwhile investment. ​The 4.5 lb bag is perfect for keeping the food fresh. Since small dogs eat less, larger bags can sometimes go stale before you reach the bottom. ​ If you want a predictable, high-quality diet that keeps the vet visits to a minimum and the energy levels high, this is a top-tier choice.

This dry food has been a good fit for my small dog. The kibble size is perfect for little mouths, and she seems to really enjoy the chicken and brown rice flavor — no picky eating here. I’ve noticed her energy stays steady throughout the day, and her coat looks healthy and shiny. Portion guidance made it easy to feed the right amount, and her digestion has stayed normal since switching. Overall, a solid choice for small and mini breeds that actually eats well and seems to thrive on it.

I switched to Hill’s Science Diet Small & Mini (Adult 1–6) after trying a few other brands that my little dog either turned her nose up at or that upset her stomach. This one has been perfect. The kibble pieces are actually small enough for tiny mouths, and my dog gobbles it up like it’s gourmet. I’ve noticed her coat looking shinier, her energy staying consistent throughout the day, and her digestion has been so much better — no more random tummy issues. I also appreciate that it doesn’t have a strong smell like some other dog foods do. If you have a small-breed dog that’s picky or sensitive, this food is honestly worth the switch. It’s dependable, vet-recommended, and clearly made with little pups in mind.

Good value for money, great product at a nice price.

I like this dog food. However, this time the delivery was the worst. I could not use the dog food as it was all spilled in the bottom of the box and All laundry detergent spilled on it.

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.”

Science diet is my vets go to dog food for many healthy reasons and the best part is my dog loves the food.
