Before transitioning your senior dog to Hill's Science Diet Adult 11+, consult with your veterinarian for personalized feeding recommendations based on your dog's breed, weight, and health needs.

Gradual Transition:

When introducing Hill's Science Diet, do so gradually over 7 days. Mix increasing amounts of this food with your dog's current food to prevent digestive upset and ensure a smooth transition.

Regularly monitor your senior dog's weight and overall condition. Adjust the feeding amount if there are any changes in weight, activity level, or overall health. Consult with your veterinarian if you have concerns.
