Overview
["This 30 lb bag of Hill's Science Diet Adult Sensitive Stomach & Skin is built specifically for large breed dogs, with chicken as the named flavor and prebiotic fiber added to support digestion. Hill's markets the formula around sensitive stomach and sensitive skin care, along with hip and joint support and muscle care, making it a multi benefit option for bigger dogs that need more than basic nutrition.", "The recipe is labeled for adult dogs ages 1 to 5 and comes packaged for large breeds specifically, rather than as a one size fits all formula. Hill's backs the product with a 100 percent satisfaction guarantee, which is worth knowing if your dog doesn't take to the taste or texture.", "At $89.99 for a 30 lb bag, it sits in the premium range for large breed dry food, in line with what Hill's Science Diet typically charges. With 1,400 reviews and a 4.7 star average, and roughly 3,000 bought in the past month, it has a solid base of large breed owners behind it."]
