Hill's Science Plan Perfect Weight & Active Mobility Dry Adult Dog Food — Small BreedChicken · Weight and joints together

Weight and joints are the same problem wearing two hats. Every extra kilo lands on cartilage that's already working, and a dog whose joints hurt moves less, which puts on more weight. Most foods pick one end of that loop. This one takes both.

The weight side is clinically proven Hill's weight-management nutrition — 14.5% crude fibre from pea bran and cellulose to keep him satisfied while the calories come down, with protein held high at 27.7% so what he loses is fat rather than muscle. The mobility side is EPA from fish oil at 1.9% inclusion, plus glucosamine and chondroitin from crustacean shell and pork cartilage, which are the actual building blocks of cartilage rather than a marketing garnish. Coconut oil and flaxseed round out the fats. For small and mini breeds over a year old who are carrying more than they should.

Looking after it

Store in a cool, dry place, sealed. Use within six weeks of opening. Feed to his *target* weight, not his current one, and weigh him fortnightly — small dogs shift weight fast in both directions. Joint benefits take six to eight weeks; weight loss should be slower, around 1–2% of body weight a week. Treats count, including the ones from other people. Fresh water, always.
