Frequently asked questions

What does ActivBiome+ Digestion mean?

It's Hill's name for the prebiotic blend in this formula, intended to help support a healthy gut microbiome alongside the diet's digestive care benefits.

Is the 27.5 lb bag a good starting size?

It's a large bag best suited to households already committed to feeding this diet long-term, since it's a bigger commitment than a trial-size bag if your dog has not tried it yet.

Does this replace a vet visit for digestive issues?

No. This is a prescription-style diet meant to be used as part of a plan set by your vet, not a substitute for diagnosing the underlying cause of digestive upset.
