DHA and why it's important

DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) is an omega-3 fatty acid found naturally in the breast milk of dogs. As a major building block of the brain, DHA is critical for vision and central nervous system development. Foods enhanced with DHA, like Hill's puppy foods, help puppies reach their potential for body and brain development.

Hill's Science Diet Puppy Healthy Development

  • Optimal levels of DHA from high quality fish oil for healthy brain and eye development.
  • Clinically proven antioxidants for a healthier immune system.
  • Precisely balanced nutrition, proven to ensure ideal body weight.

After feeding your puppy specially formulated Hill's puppy foods for his first year, you can now choose from a wide variety of Science Diet pet foods and Prescription Diet pet foods for a complete line of great-tasting nutrition for your pet based on age, activity level and special needs.
