Why do we recommend Hill's Science Diet and Prescription Diet Food?

At Spanish Trail Veterinary Hospital, we feed Hill's Science Diet pet food in our kennel and hospital. Our doctors and employees feed their own pets Science Diet. And Science Diet is what we recommend our clients and friends feed their pets. Why do we recommend Science Diet?

Hill's Science Diet is the only pet food company with a fixed formula. Other companies formulate their products based on least cost manufacturing. What does this mean to your pet? Every time you buy Science Diet products it is the same recipe - the ingredients never change. Other companies will substitute ingredients out of their products based on cost. Within a 6-month period the ingredients can legally change by 10%. This change in ingredients can cause mild dietary indiscretion from time to time -- vomiting and loose stools. Furthermore, Science Diet uses only human grade ingredients not "animal" grade ingredients like all the other companies.

Are you still feeding your pet puppy or kitten food after the first year of life? If you answer no, are you sure? All pet food companies use AAFCO procedures to determine which life stages their food is nutritional balanced. If you see that your adult pet food is balanced for "all life stages" or "growth and maintenance" on the side or back label, you are feeding puppy or kitten food. Science Diet products are formulated for either "growth" or "maintenance" not both. Feeding puppy and kitten food throughout the life of your pet can produce serious health problems from excessive ingredients not required for adults.

Hill's Science Diet foods are fed at every veterinary school. More veterinarians feed their own pets Science Diet than any other pet food. Hill's is used by 98% of all veterinary clinics. And your pet can also benefit from higher quality nutrition. And if you think you cannot afford to feed Science Diet, let one of our staff members show you just how cost effective it can be. Compared to the leading pet foods, Science Diet is often less expensive and in some cases just pennies more a day.

HILL'S HAS A 100% GUARANTEE ON EVERY FOOD THEY MAKE, NO QUESTIONS ASKED!!!
