• Refrigerate Promptly After Opening: Cover and refrigerate any remaining stew right after each serving. Use within 7 days of opening and discard anything beyond that window.
• Fresh Water at All Times: Keep a clean, full bowl of water accessible to your senior dog throughout the day to complement the hydration this stew provides and support kidney health.

Additional Information

Precautions

• For Dogs 7 and Above Only: This formula is made exclusively for adult dogs aged 7 and older and is not suitable for puppies, pregnant or nursing dogs, or adult dogs under 7 years of age.
• Pregnant Nursing Dogs: Dogs that are pregnant or nursing should be transitioned to Hill's Science Diet Puppy food to meet their significantly elevated caloric and nutritional requirements.
• Wheat Gluten Ingredient: This formula contains wheat gluten. Dogs with a confirmed wheat sensitivity should be assessed by a veterinarian before being introduced to this product.
• Watch for Selective Eating: Some dogs may consume chicken pieces while leaving behind vegetables. If this becomes a consistent pattern, consult a veterinarian to confirm nutritional needs are being met.

Possible Side Effects

• Reduced Appetite Response: Some older dogs may take a few days to eat their full daily portion, so patience during the initial introduction period is advised.
• Digestive Adjustment Period: Switching without the recommended 7-day gradual transition may cause temporary loose stools or mild digestive discomfort in some senior dogs.

Storage Information

• Room Temperature Storage: Keep all unopened cans in a cool, dry location at a consistent room temperature between 50°F and 100°F away from direct heat or sunlight.
• Refrigerate After Opening: Once opened, cover the remaining stew and refrigerate at or below 40°F. Use within 7 days and discard any food left beyond that window for food safety.
• Do Not Freeze: Freezing this canned stew is not recommended, as it can break down the texture of the chicken and vegetable pieces and negatively affect overall product quality.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How does the Roasted Chicken stew differ nutritionally from the Braised Beef stew in the Senior 7+ Healthy Cuisine lineup?

Ans: In comparison to the Braised Beef variant, the Roasted Chicken stew comes in at 253 calories per 12.5 oz can and carries a slightly higher phosphorus level of 0.64% versus 0.58% on a dry matter basis. Spinach is the standout vegetable in the chicken version, while red bell pepper and green peas take that role in the beef version.

Q2: How many calories are in each 12.5 oz can of this senior chicken stew dog food?

Ans: Each 12.5 oz (354 g) can of Hill's Science Diet Adult 7+ Healthy Cuisine Roasted Chicken, Carrots & Spinach Stew contains 253 calories. Pet owners should use the weight-based feeding chart to plan accurate daily portions, particularly for less active senior dogs, to help prevent gradual unintended weight gain over time.

Q3: Does this formula contain flaxseed, and what role does it play in senior dog nutrition?

Ans: Yes, flaxseed is included as an ingredient in this formula. It provides a plant-based source of omega-3, which works alongside omega-6 fatty acids from soybean oil to help support healthy skin condition and a well-maintained coat in aging dogs. The total omega-3 fatty acid content of this formula is 0.38% on a dry matter basis.

Q4: Can this Healthy Cuisine stew be served as the only food for a senior dog aged 7 and above?

Ans: Yes, this formula is confirmed by AAFCO feeding tests to deliver complete and balanced nutrition for the maintenance of adult dogs. When given in the amounts listed on the weight-based feeding chart, it works as a complete daily diet for dogs aged 7 and above, supplying all the essential nutrients senior dogs need to age well.

Q5: How does the balanced mineral profile in this formula specifically support senior dog health?

Ans: This formula has phosphorus at 0.64% and sodium at 0.39% on a dry matter basis, both within a range formulated to help support heart and kidney health in aging dogs. As dogs age, maintaining an appropriate mineral balance becomes increasingly relevant for protecting cardiovascular and renal function, which is why this formula is specifically formulated for dogs aged 7 and older rather than general adult maintenance.

Q6: Is this senior chicken stew a good option for older dogs with reduced appetite or dental sensitivity?

Ans: Yes, the soft, stew-based format with tender chicken pieces and a rich chicken broth is particularly well suited to senior dogs with dental sensitivity or reduced appetite. The aroma and palatability of the stew format may help encourage eating in older dogs that have become more selective, and the soft texture avoids the chewing demands that kibble may place on dogs with aging teeth or gum issues.

Q7: Can this product be paired with the Braised Beef Healthy Cuisine variant in a daily rotation?

Ans: Yes, both the Roasted Chicken and Braised Beef variants in the Senior 7+ Healthy Cuisine range are complete and balanced for adult dog maintenance. Rotating between the two is an easy way to keep mealtimes interesting for selective senior dogs while making sure every serving still delivers the same quality senior nutrition.
