veterinary diet

This is a medical nutrition decision. Speak to your vet.

This is a veterinary diet product: a "dietetic" feed designed for a particular nutritional purpose and intended for use under veterinary direction. The score and figures below are readings of the label, the same as for any other food: they can't tell you whether this product is right for your dog.

Hill's Pet Nutrition r/d Chicken Flavor Wet Dog Food

Wet Pate · complementaryveterinary diet

This is a complementary food, not a complete diet. The 1–100 rating applies to complete foods, so it isn't scored. Ingredient breakdown below.

Our verdict

Is Hill's Pet Nutrition r/d Chicken Flavor Wet Dog Food a good dog food?

This is a complementary food, not a complete diet, so it is not scored on our 1-100 scale. The ingredient breakdown below shows what is in it; a complementary food should be fed alongside, not instead of, a complete diet.

How we score

Only part of the analytical constituents are declared, so the nutritional picture is incomplete.

100% of this recipe has no printed percentage. Estimated shares are model estimates, not label facts.

What the label tells us

The parsed label contains 15 ingredient entries.
Names its animal sources (1 named ingredient).
Uses generic terms (By-products and Chicken): the specific animal source is not stated.
Lists no artificial colours or preservatives.
Prints no ingredient quantities.

Why is this treat not scored?

Our 1 to 100 rating applies to complete everyday meals. Treats are presented through their ingredients, label facts and feeding information rather than a number that could be mistaken for a meal rating.

What should I look for on a treat label?

Look for the ingredient list, named animal sources where species matters to you, any printed quantities, additive declarations, energy and the feeding guide. Single-ingredient products can be simpler, but are not automatically better for every dog or purpose.

These facts come from the manufacturer's published ingredient list.

Who is this food for?

Suits

Labelled by the manufacturer for adult dogs
Doesn't list beef, turkey, lamb, fish, venison, duck as ingredients

Consider something else if:

Your dog avoids chicken: the label lists chicken
Your dog avoids pork: the label lists pork liver
Your dog avoids grain: the label lists rice - white
You want a single-protein recipe: this one lists more than one animal protein

These points are derived from declared ingredients and analysis, not a substitute for veterinary advice. If your dog has a diagnosed condition, food choice is a medical nutrition decision: speak to your vet. Find foods that fit your dog.
