Questions & Answers

22 Customer Questions


Why did you change the formula and why were you not transparent about it? My dog will not eat now and we are really struggling. We have been loyal to this food for five years and are so frustrated.

Answer by GiGiAug 15, 2025
I am sorry to hear about this . For your baby I had the same problem also . Go to an animal hospital and they have the original there. Hope this helps .

Same question as the previous poster about the change of formula. My dog is on a hunger strike until you bring the old one back.

Answer by EllenJan 13, 2026
I was able to get some of the original formula from Hill's and treated the new formula as though it were a new food, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, four days at each stage. That way Rosy became acclimated to the new formula, and she is doing fine with it and loves it just like the original. It is still chicken liver, just with nuts and fruit pulps for their antioxidant properties.

Did the formula change on this item? I have a can of z/d that is blue and listed as original flavor and not the one shown here with orange Hydrolyzed Chicken Flavor.


My dog weighs approx 9lbs she should be around 7lbs, how much do I feed her each meal as she gets breakfast and dinner?

Answer by AutumnwingsJan 18, 2026
The feeding amounts listed on dog food labels, regardless of brand, are the total amount for the entire day, not per meal. If you feed your dog twice a day, you simply split that daily amount in half and give half at each feeding. This article from Taste of the Wild explains portioning clearly and may be helpful. (You may need to Google "Taste of the Wild What's a conscientious pet owner to do" if the link doesn't show.) Dogs should be fed based on their ideal or healthy weight, not their current weight. Many pets become overweight for several reasons, and overfeeding is one of the most common. According to Hill’s Science Diet feeding chart: A 5 lb dog should receive about 5/8 of a can per day A 10 lb dog should receive 1 can per day Since your dog’s ideal weight is around 7 lbs, a good starting point would be no more than 3/4 of a can per day. Split into two meals, that comes out to roughly 2/3 cup (about 5 oz) of wet food per meal.
