Hill's Science Diet Adult Perfect Weight Small & Mini Chicken & Brown Rice Recipe is a dry kibble recipe from Hill's Science Diet. The manufacturer lists ingredients by pre cooking weight, and the first five on this recipe's label are Chicken, Cracked Pearled Barley, Brown Rice, Pea Fiber and Corn Protein Meal. Hill's formulates this recipe for adult dogs, including those that are less active, neutered or otherwise prone to weight gain, with a smaller kibble piece sized for small and mini breed dogs. The bag comes in 12.5 lb and 4 lb on the manufacturer's own site. Hill's states the food is made in the USA with ingredients sourced globally. The label carries an AAFCO animal feeding test statement rather than a formulation only statement, meaning Hill's states the recipe was fed to dogs as part of substantiating the nutrition claim. Dogs who lose interest in a rotation often take it again with a single ingredient freeze dried topper crumbled over the top.
