Love how they use the Akita inu or shiba inu in their marketing for this food. These pups generally have lots of intolerances/allergies.

I'm so glad you reviewed this! My dog is just finishing his first bag and eats it as soon as I put it in his bowl. This video makes me feel more confident about switching to this. Banjo gets a mixture of colitis/red eyes/itchiness with the more common proteins. When I tried several novel proteins, he was better, but my veterinarian was never too happy with the brands. So when this came out I thought, perfect!

You are 13 days early with this review. As I watch, my cats and I are having fresh chicken for lunch. Then we are going to watch "A Bug's Life." Happy Mewsday!

Was looking for a Hill's formula for SENIOR dogs, that did not include beef, chicken, or lamb. Does Hill's make such a product? Thank you.

$60 for a 12 pound bag is pretty steep for me. Hopefully my puppy won’t need this specific diet in the future. He does seem to get pretty itchy. I currently have him on science diet puppy lamb formula and he is doing well. The itching has mostly happened when he’s introduced to a new “treat” or figures out how to raid the trash bin..😅

Do you suggest any of the allergies ichy pills?

Hello Glenn, interesting new food indeed, but I need your help on the best food I should give my pup since you are the Hill's expert here! So, I have been feeding my dog the SD Adult Perfect Digestion, Salmon, Old Oats and Brown Rice Recipe: Protein 25 % Calcium 0.88 % Phos 0.73 %. However, he has now turned 7 years old and I was considering switching him to the SD Adult 7+ Perfect Digestion Chicken, Whole Oats & Brown Rice Recipe: Protein 21 % Calcium 0.92 % Phos 0.65 %. As you can see, the Calcium level is higher on the 7+ diet at .92% compared to the Adult diet at 0.88%. All the other nutrients are lower on the 7+ diet except for the Calcium. I am very puzzled as to know which one my 7 year-old Cocker Spaniel should be on now. As I was browsing the Hill's website, I saw that quite a few of their mature/senior foods have higher calcium levels than the Adult formulas. So, what would you kindly suggest that I do??? Thank you so much for your time and all the knowledge you share with us. 😻🐕

Would Buddy Holly feed this to his dog? That'll Be The Day! LOL

Great video, would you recommend this food for a lab or should I stick to large breed dog food? The calcium and phosphorus levels are lower than most large breed kibble. Thank you

Only a large corporation with a good research budget could develop and test this food.

Thank you for reviewing this food! My dogs are on Natural Balance limited ingredient salmon and sweet potato. They are doing very well on it. But I know it's very high in carbs and I'm not sure it's the best food for them. I'm really going to have to think about this!...

If not hill what would be your next choice to feed your dogs

I actually have my own black soldier fly farm, i harvest for my chickens! Very easy to grow and maintain

😂 I was wondering about this recipe. I have bought the brand jimminys kibble and their treats. Jimminys makes grub and cricket food. Their soft treats are great for training.

Are you a fan of the science diet perfect weight formulas. I started my dog on the large breed perfect weight and joint. About a month in I’m noticing dry skin and dandruff dull and drier coat. Never had issues on royal canin or regular large breed adult SD. All healthy dog, seems like it could be the food. Maybe not enough fat or some other nutrient for him?

I don’t mind bug foods, but I wouldn’t feed them long term as the sole food or if it’s just insect and no other meat sources, truth be told there’s just not enough research yet in the long term for this, even Pet Food Industry made some worrying notes about long term use. We need more dogs eating it as the sole diet and more years to see if it’s well balanced or not and if any problems arise from using it as the sole diet. On the other side of this convo featuring me, I’d never eat insects myself, for my dog in pellet form it’s fine, but for me even knowing it’s in a food of mine would have me gagging and vomiting. I also have severe allergies to some certain things nowadays due to histamine intolerance and mast cell issues so untested bug foods? No thanks. We likely have no idea how any meat substitute works on people with mast cell problems. Not to mention to make them taste good they need ingredients I can’t have anymore.

I’m feeding my dog a food tht has 22% protein 12% fat 6.5% fibre (kind of high) and 367kcal/cup. She needs to lose a few pounds so I’m hoping this blend will help with that. It is listed as ‘all stages’ and I understand that that’s a puppy food? But the ‘adult maintenance’ version has 24% protein 14% fat and 414 kcal/cup…. (Both have 1% calcium and 0.8% phosphorous. I’m thinking to stick to the lower cal recipe? What is your take on that. Hope I can get her body condition improved. 🎉

I don't care WHO makes it or what they say, I will NEVER be feeding my dog insect dog food! At least for the people who would, the nutrients are good.

Doesn't this dude recommend corn? Not even humans digest it well..
