Hill's i/d Low Fat Dry Dog Food | Hill's Prescription Diet
Editor ingredient insight
Hill’s i/d Low Fat starts with brewers rice, corn protein meal, and chicken meal, with very low fat plus taurine and L-carnitine.
It is worth considering for veterinarian-guided low-fat digestive feeding, not high-fat palatability goals.

Corn Protein Meal
Corn Protein Meal is a processed plant-protein booster. It can lift crude protein without the same animal-protein share, so the animal-protein read should stay separate. It reads as an bottom-tier plant protein booster.
Ingredient #3Upper
Chicken Meal
Chicken Meal is a species-named animal meal ingredient. It is rendered rather than fresh, but the species source is still clearly identified. It reads as an upper-tier protein source.

Even high crude protein can be strongly influenced by processed plant protein.
This is hard to read as meat-protein centered.

03. CHOOSING FOR YOUR DOG
What to consider before feeding
This is a prescription-diet candidate for gastrointestinal care. Read purpose fit and veterinary guidance before treating it as a standard star-ranked food.
What works well in this food
- Crude Protein, Crude Fat, Calories are disclosed, which helps review fat load and fiber design for gastrointestinal care.
- Crude protein does not drop into a clearly low band.
- Calorie density is on the lower side.
- Top ingredients do not show a prominent FDA-investigated non-hereditary DCM ingredient profile.
Check before feeding
- Refined carbohydrates lose fiber, vitamins, and minerals during processing, and mainly act as starch and energy sources. Because of that, our engine reads ingredient quality more conservatively than it would with whole grains.
- Processed plant protein sits in the top 3, so the crude-protein number clearly includes protein support beyond meat ingredients.
- Public data is usable, but not at the highest-trust tier.
When this food fits your dog
Prescription purpose: gastrointestinal care.
Consider it first when
- Comparing real nutrient numbers
- Shopping by disclosure breadth
- Choosing from public data first
Choose another food first when
- Meat intensity is the first shopping axis
- You want the strongest ingredient quality first
Plant-protein concentration remains the clearest trade-off here.
