Hill’s Pet Nutrition was one of the pet food brands involved in the 2007 melamine recall and then again in 2014 due to possible salmonella contamination of some canned products.
First are chicken meal and fat, flaxseed and dried beet pulp. Next comes whole grain wheat, cracked pearled barley and sorghum – each offering some fiber but offering more empty calories than others.

Ingredients
Hill’s Prescription Diet i/d Digestive Care is an extremely delicious and highly digestible clinical nutrition specifically formulated to aid with digestive upsets. Packed with Hill’s groundbreaking ActivBiome+ ingredient technology – clinically shown to rapidly activate gut microbiomes and support digestion health; prebiotic fiber, and omega-3 and 6 fatty acids; it was designed by Hill’s nutritionists and veterinarians specifically for dogs!
Chicken meal and fat make up the main protein sources in this food, along with pearled barley, peas, oat groats, brown rice and other components such as pearled barley. Other key components include kelp, flaxseed (rich in linoleic acid) and ginger root to aid in soothing the digestive tract.
Prebiotics
Hill’s Digestive Care for dogs contains prebiotic fiber to encourage the growth of beneficial bacteria in your pet’s gut and an array of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals to ensure they feel their best.
Digestive upset can be stressful for both you and your pet, taking time for them to recover after episodes of diarrhea or constipation. That is why we created food with microbiome health in mind: their own unique gut ecosystem needs care too! ActivBiome+ technology features in this food to actively promote regular stool production while decreasing future episodes.

This diet uses hydrolyzed chicken liver and chicken as its primary protein sources, helping reduce allergic reactions in your dog. Furthermore, this food features an innovative ingredient known as ActivBiome+ that has been clinically shown to activate and improve digestive function for your pup. Furthermore, this food is produced in the US with global ingredients, making for highly digestible kibble.

Hill’s Science Diet products are developed by veterinarians and nutritionists. Using only high-quality ingredients sourced globally, 5 million quality and safety checks are conducted every year to ensure maximum quality and safety. Water provides necessary moisture for digestion; chicken fat adds flavor while helping absorb nutrients more readily; cracked pearled barley provides great fiber to aid in the digestive process – an all-in-one source of nutrition!
Beet Pulp
Beet pulp is the fibrous residue left after extracting sugar from sugar beets, offering a safe source of fiber that’s low in sugar content and offers low digestive risk. Commonly found in horse feed, beet pulp can also be beneficial in providing dental and digestive support for horses that may experience sensitivities to feed products such as grain.
Beet pulp can either be fed dry, or it can be soaked in water before consumption to soften and facilitate its digestion. Just ensure it does not remain submerged for too long or it could spoil.
beet pulp should only be given in moderation as its energy source, since it does not contain sufficient amounts of protein or fats.
