Pet Care starts with healthy food
Pet care starts with healthy food. This is a simple concept. I am very careful about what my family eats each day, but what should I look for when it comes to pet food? I have partnered with Hill’s® Science Diet® to share with you a wonderful sweepstakes, a rebate on their pet food, and some great information for pet parents.

Molly is our beloved rescue dog. She joined our family 3 years ago and we cannot remember life without her. We are now a dog family for life. Since Molly was our first dog, we really did not know much about dog food. The one thing we learned very quickly, was that Molly is very picky. She loves to beg for people food, but dog food is not her favorite thing to eat. One time I found a huge 40 pound bag of dog food on sale. I brought it home and gave Molly a sniff. She walked away and never ate even one of those sale kibbles. When Hill’s® Science Diet® asked us to try their perfect weight adult food we were curious. Would Molly like it? Would she know that she was overweight? Hahaha, just kidding, kind of. Our vet has told us that Molly needs to lose a few lbs.
Hill’s® Science Diet® has two fabulous offers that I would like to share with you today. Click the link and you can see both offers. First, you can enter to win $100 to use towards your pet’s next checkup. Awesome prize, right? The best part is that one winner is chosen every single day, until they have chosen 100 winners! If I were you, I would enter once each day until you win, unless you love paying a small fortune to your vet. The second offer is a $10 rebate on a Hill’s® Science Diet® 7 pound or larger bag! This is an easy way to save some money on some healthy pet food.
I know you’re all waiting on the edge of your seat to hear if Molly liked this food. She loved it! Molly was just like the kids, waiting for me to finish taking photos so she could dive into her new food. She watched, sniffed, and tasted and it was a huge success! Molly has been eating the Hill’s® Science Diet® food exclusively for the past month and she has been feeling great. She no longer walks by her dog dish with her nose turned up looking for something else to eat. Pet care is so important, you should really check what is in the dog food you are buying.
Join me in this important Healthier Pets. Happier Lives.™initiative from Hill’s® Science Diet®. The best way for your beloved pet to live a long life is to regularly visit the vet and to feed them the healthiest pet food. One more tip! As much fun as it is to share what you are eating with your dog, don’t do it! People food is not good for dogs and if your dog fills up on your pizza crusts she will not have room for her healthy dog food. Don’t delay, print your rebate today, and also enter the sweepstakes to win $100 off your next preventative veterinarian visit. Click here for all the details. ($10 rebate is only good on a purchase of 7 lbs or larger of Hill’s® Science Diet® Youthful Vitality, Perfect Weight, Sensitive Stomach & Skin, Oral Care, Grain Free, Healthy Mobility, Urinary & Hairball Control, Hairball Control, or Multiple Benefit.)
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Hill’s. The opinions and text are all mine.
When we had a dog, this is the brand we fed him. I always trusted that I was giving him great food when he ate it.
That is awesome! You are already a fan of Hill’s science diet.
This is one of the pet food we were considering when we bought a new dog! I know that they take pride in the food they make for pets. It is a wonderful food that works great for a lot of pets.
There are so many great options from Hill’s Science Diet for pets. I love that they think about all the different stages of a pet’s life and then develop a food to match your specific pet!
Thanks for the rebate offer info. I never knew Hills Science Diet offered such a wide variety of pet food options. Our doggie is a tad older and could definitely benefit from the Youthful Vitality.
I just love the name Youthful Vitality, seems so much better than old doggie food. Happy to share this fabulous rebate with you! Every penny counts.
I have a friend who uses hill science diet for their dog. They swear by this wonderful dog food. Only the best for our fur friends.
Only the best for our fur friends is right! We care so much about our dog, we want her to have the best food we can buy!
What a sweet doggy! I only have cats, but I see they have this food for cats as well, so I might have to pick some up.
Yes! Hill’s Science Diet has fabulous food for cats as well. Check out all the different options on the website and don’t forget to print the rebate!
We don’t have a dog, but I have always heard that Science Diet is a really good brand of dog food for all dogs. I will have to see what type of dog food my MIL uses for her dog
We feed Sal Hills and it has been so good for her, she’s on the I/D diet as she has a poorly stomach but even now at 16 her coat is glossy and she’s so active.
That is so wonderful to hear! I am so glad the Hills Science Diet has been good your dog for so many years!
I need to recommend this to my friend! This looks like a great dog food.
Yes, it is such great food. Please tell your friend to try this fabulous food and print the rebate for her.
Molly definitely looks like she’s been enjoying her Hill’s Science Diet. We’ve had problems with our dogs being “picky” eaters before and know that it’s important to find a food that’s both healthy and something the dog enjoys. $10 off is a great deal too (especially for dog food!)
Saving money on dog food is always a great idea, right? I also love when I can save a bit of money on something.
It’s great that you found a dog food that works for you and your pet. We have tried this particular brand before, but it didn’t work out for our furbabies. My dad loves it for his dog though.
You really do need to try out many foods before you find the right one. I am glad that your Dad’s dog enjoys it!
I have always heard such great things about Hills pet foods. The rebate offer is a nice bonus to try them.
I agree with you. I love to try new foods, especially for my picky dog with a rebate offer. Then I am not out a lot of money and my dog can try the food without a big expense.
The Hill’s Science Diet has been working well for us too. I’m glad they have so many good options for dogs. These offers are great!
There are so many great options so all the dogs can get exactly what they need!
Our dog is a picky eater and we’ve tried a lot of different brands, so it’s good to know that your dog liked it. Will give this a try the next time we restock our dog food.
Being able to buy a new food with a rebate coupon is always the best way to try a new pet food!
Molly is a very pretty girl. I try to tell my Mom all the time that it’s not a good thing to feed dogs people food, she does it frequently.
It really is terrible to feed your dog people food. Dogs cannot digest the same way we can. Plus many of the things we eat are not good for their tummies like onion, garlic, raisins and much more! It is best to stick to a healthy dog food!
We have tried so many different types of dog food but ours has such a sensitive stomach. This is rather interesting I will have to look if our local stores sell it.
There is definitely a formula for dogs with sensitive stomachs!
Molly looks like a sweetheart. Pets are important part of our family so they need to have the best pet care there is.
Molly is the sweetest dog! We love her so much and we want her to have the best life possible!
That is such a cute pup! Also I agree, pet care and good food for them is SO important!
Thank you! Molly is such a sweet dog. We are so lucky to share our lives with her.
It’s great she likes the food! Mr. N is also super picky and it took us a lot of trying different things to find something that he will eat regularly.
I am happy to know that Molly is not the only picky dog!
Molly is adorable! I have two dogs, one will eat almost anything and the other is super picky. It’s funny how opposite they are, and yet they are best buds. I feed raw/homecooked because my older dog has food allergies and this way I can really know what he’s eating. Luckily our picky dog LOVES the food too, so I can feed them both the same thing.
Thank you for sharing that! I bet you have to be careful that your picky dog does not get his food stolen by the dog who loves to eat! With only one dog, her food can sit in her bowl all day without anyone taking it!
I’ve been told that my dog Soldier needs to lose a few pounds as well, so I’ll be trying the Hill’s Science Diet for him. He’s a picky eater, too, and easily gets an upset stomach since his battle with pancreatitis a few years ago. I’m glad Molly enjoys it so much!
It was quite embarrassing when the doctor told us Molly is overweight. We have since cut out all her people food snacking and she has lost a few pounds!
As a veterinarian I love Hills Science Diet. They are one of very few companies that you can rely on. The amount of resources they put in to ensure the food they produce is healthy and exactly what your pet needs is huge.
Thank you so much for weighing in on Hill’s Science diet Dr. Leigh! I feel really great about feeding Molly this healthy for her food.
Molly is CRAZY ADORABLE. I am not sure how you accomplish anything..haha
Thank you! We think Molly is super adorable too. She distracts us from our work all the time!
Molly is so cute. How great that she likes her healthy dog food – hopefully it will help her lose the weight painlessly. They have a great reputation for research and science. Kilo and I need to lose a few pounds (I am guilty of sharing tiny bits of food as we both love food so much). He is not picky but would probably benefit from this food.
We have been trying really hard not to share our food with Molly. She is eating her dog food better since we made that small change!
I’m so glad Molly likes the Hills Perfect Weight! I learned about this special food when it first came out, many dogs have had great success with it. Great review, Molly is so adorable. Hill’s is a great company too!
Love & Biscuits,
Dogs Luv Us and We Luv Them
Molly still loves her Hill’s Perfect Weight food. Thank you for the compliment, Molly is such a sweet girl and we were so blessed she joined our family.
Molly is very pretty! So glad she found a loving home and is loving her food from Hill’s! My veterinarian highly recommends this food brand.
Awesome! I am so glad other people have had good experiences with Hill’s Science Diet food as well.
Thank you for highlighting Science diet. Curious to know about the ingredients in it as well. We don’t feed Kibble to Babu but opt for semi raw food.
I do not have the bag anymore so I cannot post the ingredients for you. Next time you are at the store you should check it out!
Molly is adorable! I’m glad you found something that she likes to eat and that you feel good about giving to her!
Thank you! Molly is such a good dog, we only want to feed her the best!
Glad you found something that works for you and your pup! That’s awesome Hill’s is offering a rebate right now.
I love to try new dog foods with a rebate because we never know if Molly will like it!
I’m glad that Molly has found something that works for her! 🙂 What a beauty. Look at those eyes!
Thank you! I think Molly has beautiful eyes too. She is really loving her Science diet food and not realizing she is on a diet, hahaha!
I have heard this food is really great and I am very careful what Layla eats but thank goodness what she is eating at the moment works with her and she is really healthy.
As long as you have good food for Layla, all is good!
We love Science Diet! I have both my cats and dogs on this brand. Our cats have to be on it cause my ragdoll will throw up anything else we feed him, so he’s on the Sensitive Skin and Stomache formula and the dogs are on small bites regular.
So great to hear! I am so glad that your pets are enjoying the Hill’s Science diet food as well! Thank you for sharing.
I’m so glad you were able to find something for this girl to eat!! I wouldn’t even want to imagine having such a picky eater! My pup only decides to be picky about 2/3 into a large bag of food, I should know better!
Isn’t your dog nice to finish almost all the bag! My teens are the same way, they eat most of a bag of chips and then throw away the rest!
Molly is so adorable 🙂 and I’m so happy that (you) and Molly found a food that she not only likes, but is helping to keep her healthy and assist in maintaining a healthy weight.
Thank you! We are so happy that Molly loves her new food too!
This is such a wonderful campaign Hills sponsored. So glad to hear Molly liked the food.
Thank you for stopping by!
A friend of mine feeds her two dogs this brand. She has had a lot of success with it, so I am happy to see others, like yourself, sharing their positive experiences. Molly is adorable.
Thank you! We think Molly is really adorable too. The Hill’s science diet is working great for us.
Science Diet has Berber been on my list to use, br I’m so glad you guys found something you are fond of, and your dog performs well on!
I hope you use the rebate and give Science Diet a try!
I’ve been thinking about switching the dog food we buy for our little girl here so thanks for the suggestion!
My pleasure, I hope your dog likes it!
