So Hills caught lying and more to the recall Well folks it looks like not only has more been added to the recall of Hill's food but they have been caught lying/hiding things from customers! Any respect I had left for them is gone. https://truthaboutpetfood.com/did-hi...t-of-pet-food/ |
Thanks for the info. Have never considered Hills as an option for Gidget. I know Vets recommend it because there's always a display in their offices. Wonder if they recommend it or if there is an agreement with Hills. Hmmmm |
I wouldn't choose to feed Hills over RC or Purina, personally. I've lost my faith in their company especially since these are RX foods being recalled. And it has nothing to do with the fact that it's Hills - I would have equally lost faith in another company who had the same issue. |

I used to believe this myth. EVERY vet I have ever spoken with or people I know that work at vets office honestly find keeping food there to be a pain in the butt lol. It's not even hardly worth their time but they keep it there for clients who NEED it. |
I feed my pups Hill's Ideal Balance and will continue to do so. I also have pups on Hill's Low Fat ID and Hill's Ultra ZD and will continue to feed them those foods. All of my pups are fine. If they showed ANY symptoms of Vit toxicity, they would have been at the vet! I saw posts from people on the Hill's Facebook page saying their dogs were sick for days and then died. Uh...hello....days??? I honestly do not believe all the hoopla regarding this recall. So many of the posts were simply unbelievable. |

I have to ask you: do you know anything about the people who run this website? |
This all smacks of the Dog Food Advisor. They charge you for their list of foods? LOL and probably based on "ingredients" .. Heaven help the domestic pets in this world. Cost Cost to purchase the List is variable, depending on the support you want/can afford to provide. Price varies from $10 to $100. No matter the price you purchase, the 2019 List is the same. I personally will stick with www.petdiets.com |

They simply added the new lot #'s on their website and did not make any one aware - no posts about it, no emails to those feeding their food, no veterinary announcements, etc. In other words, supposedly everything is all fine and dandy so the people who needed to feed these foods continued doing so trusting Hills word for it and then were not informed that there were MORE lot #'s recalled. They are expected to go check the website every day for themselves? I personally don't want to feed a food that I may have to worry about over the next 6 months - 1 year so much that I have to check lot #'s to ensure I don't have a recalled formula. I am not loyal enough to one particular brand but I completely understand for those have have pups who NEED these specific foods and cannot thrive on anything else. I'd be in a dilemma if that were the case. I personally find the way this has been handled to be just as shady as Champion, Merrick, etc and things they have done in the past few years. AND it's RX food which makes a huge difference in why my opinion is so strong. Some pups lives DEPEND on these foods. Recalls happen, I have never been one to completely write off a company due to a recall. I don't like the way this one went down and that's just my opinion. |

Very discouraging and does not give me much confidence. My dog is dependent on the rx diets so my reaction is probably more intense. |
As are mine. I asked my vet if he had seen any sick dogs or knew of any .... negative.. My pups are thruving..not changing a thing. |

I feed Thumper Hills K/D Diet and he loves it. I would gladly switch to Royal Canine but Thumper does not like the chicken dry kibble so I give him the lamb version the Hill's offer. I looked into Royal Canine and unfortunately for kidney disease they only offer chicken for dry kibble. Luckily he has no issues with the foodand it has not been recalled. If Bella ever needs to go on prescription food I will first try Royal over Hills and hopefully she will like the taste. |
