Hill's Science Diet Adult Small Bites Chicken & Barley 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, Brewers Rice and Whole Grain Wheat. Hill's formulates this recipe for adult dogs 1 to 6 years of age, with a smaller kibble piece sized for small and mini breed dogs. The bag comes in 45 lb, 15 lb and 5 lb on the manufacturer's own site. Hill's states it makes every bag of dry dog food in its own US facilities with ingredients from North America, Europe and New Zealand. 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. Whatever food ends up in the bowl, a single ingredient freeze dried topper is a way to add interest without changing the diet, which is what Sniff and Shift makes in Malvern, Pennsylvania.
