Just as eating amounts vary from person to person, eating amounts vary from pet to pet. Most Science Diet® foods have a feeding guide on the package to help you determine the proper amount to feed your pet. However, the feeding guide is intended as a starting point. It's critical to your pet's health that his or her physical condition be monitored regularly and the feeding amount adjusted as needed. To access the suggested feeding guide for your pet's Science Diet brand pet food, refer to our online product selector.

Prescription Diet® pet foods are available through your pet's veterinarian, while Science Diet® pet foods are available through your veterinarian and at pet specialty stores, feed stores and some pet grooming facilities. Each of these veterinarians and retailers sets its own price for Hill's® pet foods. This usually is based upon a number of factors, including the expenses they incur in purchasing, handling and storing the product, as well as local market competition. Our retailers operate like other retailers you are familiar with in this regard. We can help you find veterinarians and retailers with Hill's® pet foods near you.

Shelf life varies by food type. Please refer to the best before date stamped on the bottom of all canned products. The datecode on our plastic bags is located on the left gusset, near the four-digit SKU number, toward the bottom of the bag. The datecode on our medium and large bags will be located on the top of the bag, generally the front flap. The information below details the shelf life and storing methods for canned and dry foods.

Storing Hill's® canned food

We do not recommend freezing your pet's foods. Freezing canned pet food dramatically changes the texture of products and may adversely affect palatability.

Your pet's feeding bowl should be emptied of moist or moistened food not consumed by the pet within four hours if the ambient temperature is above 50 degrees Fahrenheit.

Prior to opening, store cans in a place where the temperature is between 50-100 degrees Fahrenheit. We do not suggest storing your pet's food in an uncontrolled environment such as a garage or outdoors.

After opening, canned products should be covered and stored in a refrigerator at 40 to 45 degrees Fahrenheit. In general, refrigerated canned foods should be used within five to seven days after opening. Canned products with high amounts of rice often have separation of water from the other canned product (free water will be seen at the bottom or around the side of the can) within a few days. This separation of water is called syneresis and does not change the nutritional characteristics of the food, but will affect food texture and possibly palatability. Since freezing dramatically changes the texture of canned products and adversely affects palatability, freezing canned pet food is not recommended either before or after opening.

Storing Hill's® dry food

We do not recommend freezing your pet's foods. Freezing dry food may attract moisture, resulting in mold.

Dry food can be left in the feeding bowl indefinitely if the bowl is kept in an area that is cool, out of direct sunlight and not subject to contamination by insects and vermin.

Store the bag of food in a cool and dry environment. It is best to store the bag off the floor to reduce potential infestation. The food will retain its best flavor if stored in the original bag. We do not suggest storing your pet's food in an uncontrolled environment such as a garage or outdoors.

Calories vary from one product to another because each is designed for specific life stages and lifestyles. The calorie content for each of our foods is included in our online product selector.

We agree with veterinarians who strongly believe that feeding pets table scraps or "people" food can lead to excesses or deficiencies of nutrients in your pet's diet which over time may result in health problems. Therefore, we do not recommend feeding any food other than Science Diet® or Prescription Diet® food, unless your veterinarian recommends otherwise. If you are interested in treating your pet, try feeding a few kibbles, a small spoon of canned food or use your pet's food to make a homemade treat.

Prescription Diet brand pet foods are specially formulated to address certain health conditions that can develop in pets. Veterinarians are trained medical experts who care about their patients. For this reason, it's important to us that a veterinarian remains involved in your pet's continual care and nutritional management. If a pet's medical condition develops or changes over time, veterinarians can address the condition and any concerns.

Taste tests show that pets prefer Hill's® pet foods to many other leading brands, however we realize some pets can be picky eaters. To help you in this situation, we suggest following one or more of the tips below to encourage your pet to eat.

• If you are starting to feed your pet a new food, refer to the 7-Day Transition Schedule. A gradual transition from the current food to a new food helps wean your pet from one food to another.
• Meal feed your pet by measuring the appropriate daily feeding amount of food and placing it in your pet's bowl. If you are feeding your pet more than one meal during the day, divide the amount into the number of feedings for the day.
• For dogs, allow 10-20 minutes for your dog to eat, then remove the remaining food and wait to feed your dog until his next meal. Remember, food tastes much better when we have an appetite!
• If you are feeding your pet dry food, try hand-feeding by holding the kibbles of food in your hand and feeding it to your pet in small portions for the first few feedings.
• Add a couple of tablespoons of warm (not hot) water to one serving of your pet's dry food. Let the mixture sit for a few minutes to soften the kibbles, then serve. Moisten enough food for one meal feeding at a time so the food doesn't spoil. Do not leave moistened food out more than four hours.
• You can make pet food gravy to mix with the dry food by adding a few tablespoons of warm (not hot) water to the equivalent canned pet food. Spoon the gravy over the dry food and serve. Be sure to only make enough for one serving at a time so the food doesn't spoil.
• To help enhance the flavor of both dry and canned food, add a small amount of low-sodium chicken broth or the liquid drained from tuna canned in water. Only make enough for one serving so the food doesn't spoil. (Do not use this tip for Prescription Diet® z/d® or d/d® pet foods.)

Just as eating amounts vary from person to person, eating amounts vary from pet to pet. Most Hill's® pet foods have a feeding guide on the package to help you determine the proper amount to feed your pet. However, the feeding guide is intended as a starting point. It's critical to your pet's health that his or her physical condition be monitored regularly and the feeding amount adjusted as needed. To access the suggested feeding guide for your pet's Hill's® brand pet food, refer to our online product selector.

Pets are creatures of habit and may need some help in switching to a new food. Unless recommended otherwise by a veterinarian, gradually introduce any new food over a seven-day period. Mix the new food with your pet's former food, gradually increasing the amount until only the new food is fed.

Most pets readily accept these foods, but some are more reluctant than others to give up what is familiar to them. If your pet does not easily switch, you may want to try one of the following suggestions:

• Warming the food or adding warm water enhances the food's smell and flavor.
• Do not leave food available at all times. Consider meal feeding every three to four hours, 15-20 minutes each time.
• To help enhance the flavor of both dry and canned food, add a small amount of low-sodium chicken broth or the liquid drained from tuna canned in water when transitioning your pet from one food to another. (Do not use this tip for Prescription Diet® z/d® or d/d® pet foods.)

Prescription Diet® Canine Treats are a low-calorie, restricted mineral treat for dogs being fed Prescription Diet® foods. You can provide up to 10 percent of your dog's daily energy needs by feeding Prescription Diet® Canine Treats and still maintain the appropriate nutritional profile to aid in managing the underlying condition.

Before giving any supplement to your pet, discuss it with your veterinarian, especially for pets diagnosed with a disease or illness. Prescription Diet® brand pet food is designed to nutritionally manage pets' conditions via specific key product characteristics, so supplements could seriously jeopardize your veterinarian's nutrition recommendations.

We agree with veterinarians who strongly believe that feeding pets table scraps or "people" food can lead to excesses or deficiencies of nutrients in your pet's diet which over time may result in health problems.

Therefore, we do not recommend feeding any food other than Science Diet® or Prescription Diet® food, unless your veterinarian recommends otherwise. If you are interested in treating your pet, try feeding a few kibbles, a small spoon of canned food or use your pet's food to make a homemade treat.

Using canned food:

1. Open the can and shake the loaf of food out of the can.
2. 
   
3. Cut the loaf into 1/4" thick slices, and then cut the slices into bite-sized pieces.
4. 
   
5. Bake the treats in a microwave oven on high for approximately 2 ½ to 3 minutes.
6. 
   
7. Store baked treats in the refrigerator and discard leftovers after 5-7 days.
8. 
   
9. Homemade treats should not exceed 10% of your pet's total daily intake because heat alters the nutritional characteristics of the food.
10. 
    
11. Do not freeze homemade treats.

For a conventional oven, follow the instructions above and place the bite-sized pieces on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for approximately 30 minutes or until crispy.

Using dry food:

1. In a blender, add 2 cups of dry food and grind into a powder.
2. 
   
3. Pour powder into a mixing bowl and gradually add about 1 to 1 ¼ cups of water, stirring until it forms a dough consistency.
4. 
   
5. Shape into individual "treats" or "cookies" and flatten the dough using the back of a spoon (the cookies will not flatten like standard "people cookies" do.)
6. 
   
7. Place treats on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake in the oven at 350 degrees for approximately 30 minutes or until crispy.
8. 
   
9. Store baked treats in the refrigerator and discard leftovers after 5-7 days.
10. 
    
11. Homemade treats should not exceed 10% of your pet's total daily intake because heat alters the nutritional characteristics of the food.

Cookie cutters make treats fun to make and serve.

Only Prescription Diet® a/d® Canine/Feline food, Prescription Diet® n/d® Canine and Prescription Diet® s/d® Canine foods cannot be made into homemade treats using the above recipe. However, you can use the following recipe for homemade treats for these foods:

• Roll the canned food into little balls and place in the freezer to serve later as a frozen treat. Since it is not possible to bake n/d® Canine into treats, this is a great alternative. Also, this is refreshing to pets during the hot summer.

Science Diet® brand pet foods are formulated to meet the needs of healthy pets during various life stages.

All Science Diet® dry foods are naturally preserved with mixed tocopherols and citric acid.

As of Oct. 1, 2008, all Hill's® Prescription Diet® dry pet foods are naturally preserved with mixed tocopherols, citric acid and rosemary extract.

There are no preservatives added to Hill's® canned products. The canning process naturally preserves the food. This is similar to when we might can green beans or tomatoes.

Hill's® Science Diet® dry foods contain a superior antioxidant formula that is a blend of higher levels of vitamins C and E and beta-carotene and selenium. Antioxidants fight the free radicals that can damage vital cells. By providing antioxidant protection throughout your pet's life, you help your pet live a long, healthy life.

All of Science Diet® foods and their ingredients are listed in our online Science Diet® product selector. You can also find a list of all product ingredients on the package.

Corn is an excellent ingredient because of the benefits it brings to the product. Corn is a highly nutritious ingredient chosen as a source of protein, carbohydrates, fiber and linoleic acid - an essential fatty acid that promotes healthy skin and a luxurious coat. We choose all of our ingredients for the nutritional value they contribute to each product we make.

Corn is an excellent ingredient because of the benefits it brings to the product. Corn is a highly nutritious ingredient chosen as a source of protein (for muscle and tissue growth), carbohydrates (for energy), fiber, antioxidants (Beta-carotene, Vitamin E, Lutein) and linoleic acid - an essential fatty acid that promotes healthy skin and a luxurious coat.

Hill's® uses grades 1 and 2 corn for our pet foods, which are the grades traditionally used for human food products.

While some individuals are concerned about allergies in pets, corn is NOT a common cause of adverse food reactions in pets. Studies have shown that corn causes no more food allergies than any other grain.

Most grains, including corn, are poorly digested before they are cooked. Once cooked, however, they become highly digestible. Corn is also highly digestible, higher than several other grains such as rice, wheat, barley and sorghum.

Some consumers are concerned that corn may be a filler. Fillers offer no nutritional value whatsoever. Corn, as mentioned above, is a superb source of nutrients.

We choose all of our ingredients for the nutritional value they contribute to each product we make.

Some individuals believe that meat-based foods are more natural and thus better. However, meat is not the only protein source. For example, corn gluten meal and eggs offer high quality protein, too. High meat diets are usually excessive in calcium, sodium and phosphorus which are not appropriate for older pets. Hill's is committed to the highest nutritional standards and has always made decisions purely based on nutrition, not on trends or fads, for more than 50 years.

Higher protein levels do not mean that a food is of higher quality. After the protein / amino acid requirements are met, additional protein provides no additional benefits. In fact, excess dietary protein can even be problematic for dogs and cats, especially when they get older. Protein intake needs to be carefully monitored.

Sometimes consumers question if dogs are carnivores. Dogs are omnivores by nature. They use both meat and plant-based nutrition. Dog food should have a balance of nutrients, not just protein, but also fats, carbohydrates, fiber, etc.

Hill’s® believes consumers should focus on complete and balanced nutrition for their pet first instead of meat first.

According to the American Association of Feed Control Officials (AAFCO), the term "natural" requires a pet food to consist of only natural ingredients without chemical alterations; except for added vitamins and minerals.

The term "organic" was legally defined for human foods by the USDA. While final rules have not yet been made, pet food companies can currently use the term "organic" if they follow the same rules as applied to human foods. Foods that are "100% organic" or "organic" will carry the USDA Organic Seal on the package. Currently Hill’s® does not offer an "organic" pet food product.

Natural and organic are not interchangeable terms.

"Holistic" has no legal definition. There is no regulation defining what the word holistic means with regard to pet foods.

The term "human grade" was determined to be misleading by AAFCO. The use of "human grade" or "human quality" is not allowed in pet food marketing unless the food is made in a human food approved plant.

Fibre is a complex carbohydrate. The primary function and benefit of adequate dietary Fibre are to increase bulk and water in the intestinal contents to help promote and regulate normal bowel functions.

There are 2 types of Fibre, soluble and insoluble. Soluble Fibre is seen in ingredients like wheat, rice and corn. Insoluble Fibre is seen in cellulose and may be used to replace fat in a pet food and thus decrease the calorie content of the food. Foods high in insoluble Fibre are also appropriate for weight control or reduction by promoting a sense of fullness without adding calories. Fibre is not a filler. Fillers offer no nutritional value whatsoever.

No, Hill’s® does not currently produce pet foods using peanuts or peanut products.

When your pet is diagnosed with a disease, it's natural to want to know more about the illness and treatments. Find out more about cat diseases and dog diseases.

There are several signs you can look for to determine if your pet is becoming overweight. These warning signs include:

• Can't feel ribs anymore
• Loss of discernible waist
• Pads of fat over hips and base of tail
• Waddles when walking
• Finds it difficult to move
• Short of breath
• Bad tempered

It's important to be aware of your pet's weight, as proper growth and weight can help prevent many diseases and disorders associated with obesity, as well as growth-related skeletal disease. If you do notice any of these warning signs, your veterinarian can help recommend changes to keep your pet healthy and fit.

We also encourage you to review the following trouble shooting tips to prevent future printing issues from our website.

1. You may not have permission to download programs on your computer or you are using software that blocks the installation.
   If you are trying to print coupons at work or from a computer at a library, Internet café, or university, you may not have permission to download and install programs onto the computer you are using. This may be true even if you've downloaded and installed other files. Contact your network administrator for more information. If you have a home computer, you may find it easier to access our coupons there.
   
   You might also be running software that prevents installation on your computer. Please make sure to turn off any anti-virus software or any anti-spyware or adware software. While we have attempted to work with most of the major publishers of such software to ensure that our Coupon Printer is not blocked, there may be programs that block the installation, or put up a warning that you are about to install a program. You should choose to allow the installation.
2. 
   
3. The security settings in your browser are set too high
   If you receive warnings or errors that an attempt to install and ActiveX control (Internet Explorer) or a plug-in was blocked, or are asked for permission to install a program, you may need to change your browser's security settings to allow installation of these types of controls. Also, make sure to click the appropriate buttons in any dialog boxes that appear to allow the installation. Modern browsers make you jump through a few hoops to install plug-ins, but it's worth it!
4. 
   
5. Your operating system or browser is incompatible
   Coupon printing is currently supported on Windows Operating Systems Vista, XP, and 2000 when used with Internet Explorer 6+, FireFox 1+, Netscape 8+, and most MSN and AOL browsers.
   
   If you are unable to print when using an MSN, AOL, or CompuServe browser, please try printing your coupon using Internet Explorer 6+.
   
   Coupon printing is currently supported on Macintosh OSX 10.3 or higher when used with Safari 2+ and FireFox 2+. Coupon printing is not supported on Linux or WebTV.
6. 
   
7. You did not install the Coupon Printer
   In order to print Digital FSI coupons, you need to download and install the Coupon Printer. It's free, safe and easy to use. It does not install any form of spyware or adware or collect any personal information about you. Once it has been downloaded and installed, a process that only takes a few seconds, you will be able to print coupons from our site and from emails you might receive.
8. 
   
9. You don't have a default printer or your printer isn't ready
   You must have a default printer selected for your computer, and it must be a real, paper-based printer, not a virtual fax machine or file printer or PDF creator. Follow the instructions that came with your computer for setting up your printer. Also make sure your printer is turned on, loaded with paper, has enough toner or ink, etc. If your printer is a multi-function device (print, fax, copy, scan), please make sure the default printer is the print function, not the fax function.

There should be an address printed on each coupon to give you information about where to mail it to be reimbursed. When submitting coupons, it’s best to provide your clinic’s full contact information including clinic name, address, and phone number, in case there are any questions.

A large percentage of promotions and coupons are routed through retailers of our products.

Our products are best used by the date shown. Following the recommended "use by" month and year, there is a series of letters and numbers. These indicate the plant of production, date of manufacture, shift, line and time produced. This is followed by the four-digit product code.

We guarantee our pet foods to be fresh up to the "use by" date (end of month) on the packaging.

Store food in a cool, dry area. Temperatures should not be below 50 degrees Fahrenheit or above 100 degrees. Dry product should be stored in the original bag. Once canned product is opened it should be covered and refrigerated and may be held for up to seven days.

Special considerations:

• Hill's® Prescription Diet® Canine/Feline a/d® should be covered and refrigerated for no longer than 36 hours
• Hill's® Prescription Diet® Canine n/d® should be covered and refrigerated for no longer than two days
• Hill's® Prescription Diet® Canine j/d™ should be covered and refrigerated for no longer than five days

Feeding guides should be used as a starting point only. Food amounts must be adjusted to an animal's individual needs. For more information about how much to feed your pet, select a product and review our online product reference.

The statement "This food is intended for intermittent feeding only or as directed by your veterinarian," is a reflection of AAFCO regulation. The Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) requires that a feeding statement be included on all pet food labels. The key phrase in the statement is "as directed by your veterinarian." Most of our Hill's® Prescription Diet® pet foods have been shown to be adequate for long-term feeding in animal feeding trials, but this does not mean that all animals should be eating therapeutic foods long term. We wish to make it clear to each pet owner that the advice of a veterinarian is essential for proper utilization of Prescription Diet® brand products.
