I think my dad is of the belief dogs can eat anything!  But it is totally not the case.  Aside from the ones that are outright dangerous like chocolate and onions, feeding them the wrong things can give them an upset stomach!  My dad used to think it was a good idea to pop up here and feed my dog his leftovers, he thought he was being kind!  But I had to quickly put my foot down as my poor dog was having lose stools.

Hill’s Sensitive Stomach

You see too much variety makes their stomach work too hard!  I was quite glad to receive Hill’s Sensitive Stomach and Skin complete pet food to review.  It could act as a visual aid to remind my dad to behave and mostly because Hill’s are an established firm that believe nutrition can transform pets’ lives! I also like to add a little YuMEGA Itchy Dog to her food which keeps her coat looking great.

This product has high quality ingredients so is more digestible and includes a special fibre blend which supports dog’s intestinal health!  If your dog has lots of loose stools or is exceptionally windy, then its likely your dog has a sensitive stomach.  In that case you should try a pet food like Hill’s Sensitive Stomach and Skin and see for yourself what an improvement it makes.  I hadn’t realised that some breeds of dog are more prone to gastrointestinal disorders.  These include great Danes, German shepherds, golden retrievers and collies.  My dog Summer is a collie, so I guess its important I am more aware of what my dog eats.

Too much fat in dog food can make it difficult for them to digest.  Hill’s Sensitive Stomach and Skin contain 14.3% which is considered a moderate level that works perfectly.  Alongside helping with sensitive stomachs this blend nourishes their skin and gives them a healthy-looking coat.  It’s a great all-rounder really.  I like that you get added benefits when using it for sensitive stomachs.  But even with all these amazing benefits the most important thing was making sure my dog would eat it!  Fortunately, she loves the taste and munches it down without complaint!  She can’t keep her eyes off the food…

Summer actually liked it so much she placed her paw protectively over the Hill’s Sensitive Stomach & Skin bag to make it quite clear that this tasty food was ALL hers!

Whatever Your Pet Needs

The Hill’s Science Plan range deals with the specific needs of your pet, whether they have a sensitive stomach or need a lighter feed as they are prone to obesity, Hill’s have you covered.  If you do decide to change your dog’s food do it gradually so the transition goes more smoothly.  Start by giving them a small amount of the new food alongside their previous one.  Then increase the amount of new food over a period of a week.
