Thanks for the question! It's great that you're considering your pet's dental health – it's such an important aspect of their overall well-being. The choice between Hill's t/d and d/d diets can sometimes be a bit confusing, so let’s break it down.
Hill's t/d is specifically tailored for dental health. It helps reduce plaque and tartar build-up due to its unique kibble size and shape, which promotes chewing, and the special fiber matrix technology cleans the teeth as your pet chews. If dental health is your primary concern, this would be a great choice.
On the other hand, Hill's d/d is more focused on food sensitivities and allergies. While it’s not specifically designed for dental care, it also provides balanced nutrition and can be suitable if your pet suffers from allergies or food intolerance.
For at-home care, regular brushing with a pet-safe toothpaste can significantly aid in maintaining your pet's dental health. Watch for warning signs such as bad breath, excessive drooling, difficulty eating, or inflamed gums, as these can indicate a more serious dental issue needing professional care.
If you're still unsure which option suits your pet best, or if you notice any concerning signs, I recommend booking a video consult with one of our vets at Dial A Vet. We’re here to help find the best solution for your pet's individual needs!

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
