Hill's Pet Nutrition — a company with over 75 years of history in science-led pet food and the most recommended brand by US veterinarians — has entered the refrigerated pet food category with the introduction of Science Diet Single Protein Dog Food Rolls, a gently steam-cooked, complete-and-balanced meal option available in chicken, beef, and lamb recipes.
The new Science Diet Single Protein Dog Food Rolls format offers triple benefits of high digestibility for gut health, omega-6 fatty acids and vitamin E for skin and coat condition, and overall nutritional support. The product can be served as a standalone meal, a mix-in, or a topper, providing flexibility in preparation and portioning.
The nutritional efficacy of the Science Diet Single Protein Dog Food Rolls is backed by the company's extensive research infrastructure, which includes hundreds of veterinarians, nutritionists, and food scientists.
