Who is it for?

This recipe is intended for adult dogs whose stomachs or skin react to richer or more complex diets. If your dog has occasional loose stools, a dull coat, or seems uncomfortable on a standard formula, a pollock-based whitefish recipe can be a sensible option to discuss with your veterinarian.

It's a good match for owners who want a fish-protein dog dry food alternative to chicken or beef, without switching to raw or prescription diets.

Is pollock a good protein for sensitive dogs?

Pollock is a mild whitefish that many dogs tolerate well, which is why it often appears in sensitive-stomach recipes. Pairing it with barley — a gentler grain than corn or wheat — keeps the ingredient list focused and easier on digestion.

This Hill's Science Diet whitefish formula draws on a single, easily digested protein source as the foundation of each meal.

Feeding & use

Feed as a complete daily diet for an adult dog, following the portion chart on the bag based on your dog's current weight and activity level. Transition gradually over 7 days by mixing increasing amounts of the new food with your dog's previous food, and keep fresh water available at all times.

Allow 4–6 weeks on a consistent diet before evaluating changes in coat condition or stool quality. If symptoms persist, consult your veterinarian.
