Hi there!
I hope everyones doing well! I actually caught this nasty virus flu and it’s making my days really slow and not so upbeat =( But on the bright side, I wanted to write about a pet food called “Science Diet”. I know a lot of people out there seem to buy it for their pets and the pets do not have any problems eating it. Well from experience, not only from having dogs as pets, but I’ve had cats as well, science diet seemed to make my pets get really sick and ill. In the long run, they would have digestive system problems, heart problems, and a lot more health issues than anyone can imagine as well as AFFORD!
Yes, they do advertise a lot, why? and how? Well whoever is in their “marketing” department did a really good job by taking the brand of food to the vets and selling it there. 95% of the vets that I have been to, they have Science Diet, also known as “the hills” food on their shelves. They always tend to market it big, when they themselves know that is not the best food out there for our pets. Who knows, for some pets it might be really healthy, but just from my experience, I’d never switch back to it.
The vets do make a percentage profit from having Science Diet on their shelves and selling it. Most people think as soon as they walk into the vet, “Oh it must be healthy and an excellent brand because it’s sitting here at the vet, I’m sure the vet knows best.” Well you cannot always trust doctors right? Even with us humans, some surgeries, operations, tests, and such can go wrong.. same with pets.
Now like I mentioned before, don’t take my word for it, this is just from experience.
I don’t like the brand myself, and would not feed it to my pets but for some people that do, I only suggest that you get them off it as soon as possible and switch to something much healthier.
Yes, I do feed my dog beneful which is like us eating chips, but please keep in mind I ONLY put a PINCH of it in because for an example: It would be like us eating regular lettuce without dressing or any other vegetables, just lettuce by itself. So putting a pinch of beneful is my way of putting a little bit of dressing on my salad.
Now if you have any questions related to any of my posts, please feel free to leave me a comment and I will reply back as soon as possible.
Have a great one!

I totally agree with you. Every animal that I have ever known that has been on that food has gotten extremely ill and died a horrible death. It has also cost the owners massive amounts of money in vet bills.

Yes indeed, I’m glad to hear that someone agrees with me. Some people I’ve met randomly at pet shops and so on, I talk to them about science diet and how bad it is for our pets, but majority disagree.. they think because it is at the vets, that it is super healthy for their pet(s), which is completely false. Thanks for understanding Nicole and I’m glad that you’re not feeding your pet(s) the brand.
