How to Use

Recommended-Usage Chart

Disclaimer: Product information and usage guidelines are provided by the manufacturer. Always use products as directed on the label and consult your veterinarian before use if you have any concerns regarding your pet's health.

Directions for Use

• Adjust for Optimal Weight: Fine-tune daily amounts as needed to help the puppy maintain a healthy body weight throughout each growth stage, and consult a vet if the correct daily amount is unclear.
• Transition Over 7 Days: Give your puppy's digestive system time to adjust by mixing more of this new stew with less of the old food each day over a full week, rather than making an abrupt switch.
• Fresh Water Always: Keep fresh drinking water available to the puppy at all times throughout the day alongside every served meal.
• Pairs Well with Dry Food: This stew can be served alone or alongside Hill's Science Diet dry puppy food to give the puppy a varied and satisfying daily mealtime experience.
• Review With Vet at Every Checkup: A puppy's nutritional needs change across each growth bracket, so reviewing daily feeding amounts at every routine vet visit helps keep portions accurate over time.

Additional Information

Precautions

• For Puppies and Pregnant or Nursing Dogs Only: This formula is designed for puppies up to 1 year old and for pregnant or nursing adult female dogs. It is not appropriate for adult dogs, Adult 7+ dogs, or obese-prone dogs.
• Not for Adult Dogs: Feeding this formula to adult dogs on an ongoing basis is not appropriate as it is specifically formulated for the higher nutritional needs of growing puppies and gestating or lactating dogs.
• Adjust Portions as Puppy Grows: Daily amounts change meaningfully across the under-4-month, 4-to-9-month, and 10-to-12-month brackets, so updating portions at each stage helps prevent under or overfeeding throughout puppyhood.

Possible Side Effects

• Digestive Sensitivity on Transition: Moving to a new food too quickly may cause temporary digestive discomfort in some puppies, making the full 7-day gradual transition important before fully replacing the previous diet.

Storage Information

• Refrigerate After Opening: Cover any unused portion and pop it in the fridge straight away after opening to retain moisture and keep the food fresh and safe for the next meal.
• Store Unopened Cans Properly: Keep unopened cans in a cool, dry place away from heat and moisture until ready to serve.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What vegetables are included in this puppy savory stew and what do they contribute?

Ans: This stew includes real carrots, green peas, spinach, and potatoes alongside chicken and pork liver in a rich broth base. These vegetables contribute to the wholesome, home-style stew character of the recipe and add natural flavor and ingredient diversity that make this a more nutritionally varied option compared to a simple single-protein puppy wet food.

Q2: How does this puppy chicken and vegetable stew differ from the Hill's Puppy Chicken & Barley Entrée loaf?

Ans: The key difference is texture and format. This stew features visible chunks of real chicken and vegetables in a rich broth, creating a hearty and satisfying eating experience. The Puppy Chicken & Barley Entrée is a smooth loaf format. Both are verified for puppies up to 1 year old and pregnant or nursing dogs, but this stew suits puppies that prefer a more textured, moist format at mealtime.

Q3: Can this puppy stew be mixed with Hill's Science Diet dry puppy food daily?

Ans: Yes, Hill's specifically recommends pairing this stew with Hill's Science Diet dry puppy food as a way to give puppies a more varied and satisfying daily mealtime experience. When mixing wet and dry formats, adjust the daily portions of each to keep total calorie intake within the appropriate range for the puppy's current weight and age bracket, using both product feeding charts as a reference.

Q4: Is this puppy chicken and vegetable stew suitable for a pregnant dog?

Ans: Yes, this formula is AAFCO verified for growing puppies and pregnant or nursing adult female dogs. However, since the feeding chart does not include pregnancy-specific columns, it is worth consulting a veterinarian to determine the right daily amount during pregnancy and ensure nutritional needs are fully met.

Q5: How many calories are in each can of this puppy stew and how does that compare to the loaf entrée?

Ans: Each 12.8 oz can contains 344 kcal, which is lower per can than the 495 kcal in the Hill's Puppy Chicken & Barley Entrée 13 oz can. This difference reflects the higher moisture content and ingredient composition of the stew format. When calculating daily feeding amounts, using the product-specific feeding chart is important to ensure the correct daily calorie intake for the puppy's weight and growth stage.

Q6: Why does this puppy stew have higher vitamin E and C levels than many other puppy wet foods?

Ans: Vitamin E at 980 IU/kg and vitamin C at 268 ppm are notably high in this formula. Hill's specifically highlights these vitamins as clinically proven antioxidants supporting a healthy immune system in puppies. The elevated levels reflect Hill's focus on strong antioxidant immune support in this formula, which is particularly important during puppyhood when the immune system is still actively developing and maturing.

Q7: When should I transition my puppy from this stew to a Hill's adult wet food?

Ans: This formula supports puppies up to 1 year old. When your puppy turns 12 months, transitioning to a Hill's Science Diet adult wet food such as the Adult Savory Stew with Chicken & Vegetables is the right next step. Take the full 7 days to make the switch gradually and keep the changeover easy on digestion.
