Hill's Science Diet Puppy Large Breed 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, Brown Rice, Whole Grain Oats, Chicken Meal and Cracked Pearled Barley. Hill's formulates this recipe for large breed puppies, over 55 lb when adult, up to 18 months old, sizing the kibble and the mineral levels for large and giant breed dogs rather than scaling down a small breed formula. The bag comes in 27.5 lb and 15.5 lb on the manufacturer's own site. These ingredients must meet Hill's strict requirements for purity and nutrient content, which the manufacturer states exceed industry standards. Hill's states the food is made in the USA with ingredients sourced globally. Dogs who lose interest in a rotation often take it again with a single ingredient freeze dried topper crumbled over the top.
