Directions for Use
- Adjust for Optimal Weight: Fine-tune daily amounts as needed to help the puppy maintain a healthy body weight, 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 the new food with less of the old 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 daily meal.
- Review With Vet at Every Checkup: A puppy's nutritional needs change across each growth bracket, so reviewing daily feeding amounts with a vet at every routine visit helps keep portions accurate over time.
Additional Information
Precautions
- Not for Large Breed Puppies: This formula is not appropriate for large breed puppies expected to reach 70 lbs or more as adults, as it does not meet AAFCO requirements specifically for large breed puppy growth.
- 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 suitable for adult dogs, Adult 7+ dogs, or obese-prone dogs.
- Update Portions Across Growth Stages: Daily amounts change meaningfully across the under-4-month, 4-to-9-month, and 10-to-12-month brackets, so reviewing and updating portions at each stage helps prevent under or overfeeding.
Possible Side Effects
- Digestive Sensitivity: Moving to a new food too quickly may cause temporary digestive discomfort, making the full 7-day gradual transition important before fully replacing the previous diet.
Storage Information
- Store in Original Bag: Keep the food in its original bag after opening, as the bag provides a fat barrier that helps retain the best flavor and freshness.
- Cool and Dry Environment: Store in a cool, dry place below 100°F (38°C) to prevent vitamin degradation and oxidation of fats that can lead to rancidity.
- Keep Packaging Away: Store the bag and all packaging safely out of reach of both pets and children at all times to prevent potential suffocation hazards.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Why does this puppy food contain no corn, wheat, or soy and who is it best suited for?
Ans: This formula is made without corn, wheat, or soy for owners who prefer to avoid these common ingredients in their puppy's daily diet. It is well-suited to puppies whose owners prefer a cleaner ingredient base without those three ingredients, while still receiving complete and balanced developmental nutrition from real chicken, brown rice, whole grain oats, and cracked pearled barley.
Q2: Is this Hill's no corn wheat soy puppy food suitable for a large breed puppy?
Ans: No, this formula is specifically not recommended for large breed puppies expected to weigh 70 lbs or more as adults. The AAFCO statement confirms it does not meet nutritional levels for large breed puppy growth. Large breed puppy owners should choose Hill's Science Diet Puppy Large Breed dry food, which is specifically formulated to meet the unique growth requirements of large breed puppies.
Q3: How does this puppy dry food compare to the standard Hill's Science Diet Puppy Chicken & Barley Recipe?
Ans: The main difference is the ingredient composition. This formula replaces corn and wheat with brown rice, whole grain oats, and cracked pearled barley as carbohydrate sources, and uses pea protein instead of soybean meal. The nutritional profiles are similar in terms of protein and fat content, but this formula is designed specifically for owners who want to avoid corn, wheat, and soy in their puppy's diet.
Q4: Does this puppy no corn wheat, and soy food contain DHA and how much is present?
Ans: Yes, DHA is present at 0.123% dry matter, sourced from added fish oil. This is the specific omega-3 fatty acid that promotes healthy eye and brain development in growing puppies. The total omega-3 fatty acid content is 1.33% dry matter, which is higher than many standard puppy dry foods and reflects the meaningful fish oil inclusion in this formula's developmental profile.
Q5: Can I feed this puppy formula to my pregnant dog?
Ans: Yes, this formula is verified by AAFCO feeding tests for gestating and lactating adult female dogs as well as growing puppies. The feeding chart includes pregnancy-specific columns aligned to gestation weeks, making it practical to feed a pregnant dog from this same bag. The transition to this food should still be completed gradually over 7 days when first introducing it during pregnancy.
Q6: What carbohydrates replace corn and wheat in this no corn wheat soy puppy food?
Ans: Brown rice, cracked pearled barley, and whole grain oats serve as the primary carbohydrate sources in place of corn and wheat. These whole grain alternatives provide digestible energy and a source of natural fiber from flaxseed and dried beet pulp, supporting healthy digestion and steady energy release throughout the puppy's active daily routine during the first year of life.
Q7: When should I transition my puppy from this formula to a Hill's no corn wheat soy adult food?
Ans: This formula is recommended for puppies up to 1 year old. Once the puppy reaches approximately 12 months, transitioning to Hill's Science Diet Adult No Corn, Wheat, Soy Chicken & Brown Rice Recipe dry dog food is the appropriate next step. The adult formula maintains the same no corn, wheat, soy approach while being calibrated for adult maintenance rather than puppy growth and development.
