Science diet per say isnt going to harm your pet, is it optimal nutrition for your dog ? My honest opinion is no. Now with that said I am no expert in nutrition I have however researched this subject to the endth degree over the last 3 yrs.

Once upon a time science diet did serve a purpose for the RX diets, and their have been dogs that have done better on their diets. But the canine nutrition world has come a long way baby,and I feel there are far better diets available for our pets as well as homecooked in so many situations. If I were in need of assistance with a special diet I would consult a holistic vet certified in canine nutrition and they along with my vet would advise me.

As far as the regular Science diet line, it wont kill your pet, but will your pet live a longer life with better nutition ? have less dentals ? less obesity ?
you do the research.
