Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Is the Hearty Vegetable & Chicken Stew grain-free?
Ans:No, this product is not grain-free. It contains rice, rice starch, and wheat gluten as part of the recipe. Pet parents with grain-sensitive dogs should consult a veterinarian before making any switch to confirm this formula is the right fit for them.
Q2: How many calories does each can of this stew contain?
Ans: Each 12.5 oz can contains 247 calories. This carefully managed calorie count helps support gradual weight loss and ongoing maintenance in adult dogs. Daily portions should be adjusted based on your dog's target weight and how active they are on a day-to-day basis.
Q3: What is the texture of this wet food?
Ans: This is a stew-style food with a broth base and visible chunks of vegetables and chicken throughout. It differs from the smoother pate texture found in other Hill's variants. Both formats deliver the same clinically backed weight management nutrition for adult dogs.
Q4: How many cans should I feed per day for weight loss?
Ans: Feed 2/3 to 3/4 of a can twice daily, adding up to about 1.25 to 1.5 cans in total. Your veterinarian can help adjust the right daily amount based on your dog's specific weight and condition
Q5: Can I pair this stew with Hill's dry kibble?
Ans: Yes, this canned stew works well with dry food as part of a balanced daily routine. When feeding both, just adjust the total portions accordingly to keep your dog within the right calorie range for healthy weight management.
Q6: How soon will my dog start losing weight on this food?
Ans: In a USA clinical study, over 70% of dogs on this nutrition lost weight within 10 weeks when fed as directed. Individual outcomes depend on your dog's starting weight, how active they are, and how consistently the feeding amounts are followed throughout the program.
Q7: Is this formula right for senior dogs?
Ans: No, this product is made specifically for adult dogs and does not meet the different nutritional needs of senior or mature dogs. Older dogs are better suited to a senior-specific Hill's Science Diet formula that has been developed with their stage of life in mind.
