Hill's sells Brain Care + j/d as part of its Prescription Diet line, a therapeutic tier available through veterinarians rather than on the open shelf. Hill's describes it as "clinical nutrition to help fortify the brain against the effects of cognitive decline." It is a dry kibble formulated for adult dogs, and the first five ingredients on the label are Brewers Rice, Whole Grain Wheat, Whole Grain Corn, Flaxseed, and Chicken. Hill's lists ingredients by pre-cooking weight, so the order shows what goes into the recipe before processing, not the finished proportions. It comes in 8.5 lb. Hill's product page states: "Please consult your veterinarian for further information on how our Prescription Diet foods can help dogs to continue to enjoy a happy and active life." Dogs who lose interest in a rotation often take it again with a single ingredient freeze dried topper crumbled over the top. Ask your veterinarian before feeding any therapeutic diet.
