Product DescriptionLittle dogs provide a lot of love, so give your puppy the best start in life with Hill’s Science Diet Small Paws Puppy dry food. This dog food made with natural ingredients is tailored to the developmental needs of small breed dogs 1 year and younger. Using a small kibble size designed for your mini puppy, this premium pet food supports your pup's brain and eye development using DHA from fish oil, while high-quality protein helps your toy pup build lean, strong muscles. Because skeletal development is so important for puppies, this dog food uses a balance of minerals to promote strong teeth and healthy bones. Finally, because little breed dogs have their own immune system support, Science Diet Small Paws contains a proprietary antioxidant blend. There’s more to love with the new look of Science Diet. Some of our products also have new names, new kibble shapes & new formulas. Hill’s Pet Nutrition’s Mission: To help enrich and lengthen the special relationships between people and their pets.
