Hills Science Diet ® Pet Food Ranked As Number One

Good Guide an independent organization in its first assessment of pet foods recently ranked Hills Science Diet® pet food as number one in each of its four categories: dry and wet pet food for dogs

GoodGuide.com, the organization’s website which provides consumers with expert ratings and information about health, environmental and social performance of products and companies.

Kostas Kontopanos, President, Hill's U.S said, “ We are honored that GoodGuide.com has recognized Hill's and our extensive commitment to producing precisely-balanced nutrition for pets. As the global leader in pet nutrition, our unrivaled devotion to healthy, happy pets drives everything we do. This latest assessment on pet foods highlights the importance of precisely balanced nutrition and will be sure to assist pet owners in choosing the right food to suit their pets' unique needs."

GoodGuide also suggests for pet owners to look for brands that test their foods in accordance with feeding trials established by the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO). These procedures guarantee that the pet food's nutrient claims are supported by feeding tests with animals, not just formulation. GoodGuide also cautions that the required "Guaranteed Analysis" box on pet food packaging should not be used to inform any decisions about the nutritional quality of the food. Only the full nutrient profile can provide a detailed and meaningful assessment of what a pet food contains.

Pet owners should always consult their veterinarians for nutrition recommendation for their specific pets.
