My big pupper has always been a bit of a scratcher, but I blended this with a few other skin sensitive bickies and he’s very rarely scratchy, and his bowels seem to appreciate it too. Always solid ones now! So that’s a big benefit for Mama when we’re out and about!
He’s definitely less itchy on a daily basis, and he knows when the bickies mix has less of this ‘flavour’. But I’m definitely seeing an improvement in skin and stomach more settled.
Oh wow. my dog's first time with this brand as he took to them straight away I would recommend I give it a five-star rating as he was on Black Hawk! would buy Hill's again Thanks Pet Direct.
Our dog wasn’t into any biscuits before but he’s taken to these really well. I think they are amazing as he doesn’t get sick anymore and need the vets, which is awesome. It’s horrible when your pets are ill and you don’t know how much pain they are in. In the long run having the best quality food is better for my dogs health and better for my pocket with money saving from vet bills. Thank you very much Hills
To be honest we were after the dentist variety but were unavailable so we tried these my dog loves them.
