Hi there! Thanks for reaching out with your question. If you've noticed a change in your pet's response to their Hill's Science Diet, it could be due to a recent formula change or, less commonly, a bad batch.
Pet food companies occasionally update their recipes to improve nutrition, which can alter taste or digestibility from your pet’s perspective. However, a bad batch is rare due to stringent quality controls.
If your pet has a decreased appetite, seems upset after meals, or is experiencing digestive issues like gas, diarrhea, or vomiting after eating their regular food, this could signal that they're sensitive to the new formula or there is a minor issue with the batch.
To ease this transition, consider gradually mixing in their current food with a different brand or a bland diet, like boiled chicken and rice, to help stabilize their digestion. Make sure they stay hydrated and keep an eye on any new symptoms.
Watch for signs of serious trouble, such as persistent vomiting, severe diarrhea, lethargy, or any signs of distress. If these occur, please consult a veterinarian as soon as possible.
For more personalized advice, especially if symptoms persist or you suspect a sensitivity to the new formula, I recommend booking a video consult with one of our vets on Dial A Vet. Let's ensure your furry friend stays happy and healthy!

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
