What is science-led nutrition?
Nutrition inspired by science — not trends — creates differences you can see, feel and trust. Our food scientists understand the combinations of nutrients and ingredients to help support lifelong health.
How much should I feed my pet?
Most Science Diet foods have a feeding guide on the package to help you determine the proper amount for your pet. It's critical to your pet's health that his or her physical condition be monitored regularly and the feeding amount adjusted as needed.
How can I tell if an unopened can or bag of cat or dog food is still good?
The datecode on our plastic bags is located on the left gusset, near the 4 or 5-digit SKU number, toward the bottom of the bag. The datecode on our medium and large bags will be located on the top of the bag, generally the front flap.
How should I store my cat or dog’s dry food?
Bags of dry Science Diet, Healthy Advantage and Prescription Diet cat or dog food should be stored in a cool, dry environment under 100°F (38°C).

Science Diet is not a cheap food to feed but the dogs love this, the kibble is tiny and easy to eat for Pomeranians plus they do very well on this food
It has all the best ingredients for a growing puppy including grain. Which our vet told us is crucial and so many dog foods now are grain free. The smell is definitely a strong dog food smell but if your dog loves to eat all the food right away, it’s not a problem. I also keep my bag in a sealed bucket and it completely eliminates the odor.
The only thing that ever puts my pup off of this food is her teething pain. She lost 4 baby teeth this week and had needed a little more coaxing and wetting of the kibble in order to get her eating.
