Introducing Hill’s Science Plan: Expert Nutrition Now at Soho Poms

As pet owners, we all want to do what’s best for our furry companions, from regular exercise and socialisation to vet check-ups and, perhaps most importantly, their diet. The food we give our pets plays a central role in their overall health and longevity. That’s why Soho Poms is excited to introduce the Hill’s Science Plan range: a vet-recommended, research-led pet food line that supports pets at every life stage, breed size, and unique nutritional need.

But rather than focusing on marketing buzzwords or flashy packaging, let’s talk about what really matters: why this food works, what sets it apart, and how it can make a difference in your pet’s everyday life.

Science You Can Trust

Hill’s Science Plan is grounded in decades of veterinary and nutritional research. Developed by a team of veterinarians, scientists, and pet nutritionists, every recipe is designed not just to meet, but often exceed, global standards for pet nutrition. The goal is simple: create balanced, complete meals that support health from the inside out.

Unlike some commercial pet foods that rely on filler ingredients or high-fat formulas for palatability, Hill’s are known for its clinical precision. Each recipe is carefully calibrated with the right proportions of protein, fats, vitamins, and minerals, providing targeted nutrition tailored to your pet’s specific needs.

Life Stage Nutrition: Because One Size Doesn’t Fit All

One of the key benefits of Hill’s Science Plan is its life stage approach to feeding. Pets have very different nutritional needs at different stages of their life, and Hill’s reflects that:

• Puppies need calorie-dense food rich in DHA (an omega-3 fatty acid) to support brain development, as well as extra protein for growth.

• Adult dogs require balanced energy to maintain lean muscle and support overall vitality without excessive calories.

• Senior pets may benefit from joint support ingredients like glucosamine, along with easily digestible proteins and antioxidants that promote cellular health.

Feeding your pet a formula matched to their life stage isn’t just a good idea—it’s essential for preventing future health issues.

Targeted Solutions for Specific Needs

Beyond age-based formulas, Hill’s Science Plan also caters to pets with specific dietary needs. These aren’t one-size-fits-all solutions, they’re precise, science-led diets designed to help manage or prevent common health issues.

1. Weight Management

Obesity is one of the most common health issues in pets, and even a few extra kilos can lead to joint problems, diabetes, or heart disease. Hill’s offers a variety of weight management recipes that help pets lose fat while retaining lean muscle. These diets are high in fiber to promote fullness and include L-carnitine to support fat metabolism.

2. Sensitive Stomachs and Skin

Some pets are prone to digestive discomfort or skin allergies. Hill’s Sensitive Stomach & Skin formulas use highly digestible ingredients, prebiotic fibre, and omega-6 fatty acids to support gut health and coat condition. These recipes aim to reduce food sensitivities while ensuring pets still get balanced nutrition.

3. Oral Health

Dental health is often overlooked in pets, yet it plays a vital role in overall wellness. Hill’s offers kibble specifically designed to help reduce plaque and tartar buildup, often with clinically tested textures that clean as your pet chews.

Ingredient Integrity: What Goes Into Every Bag

Hill’s Science Plan focuses on quality ingredients backed by nutritional science—not trends. Each bag contains:

• High-quality animal proteins like chicken, lamb, or salmon as the primary ingredient, supporting muscle maintenance and energy levels.

• Whole grains and vegetables, offering natural sources of fiber, vitamins, and minerals.

• No artificial preservatives, colors, or unnecessary fillers that can cause long-term harm or allergic reactions.

Hill’s also conducts rigorous quality control across every batch, ensuring consistency and safety with each product.

Backed by Veterinary Professionals

What further sets Hill’s apart is its strong relationship with veterinary professionals. It's one of the most veterinarian-recommended brands worldwide, and many of its formulas are used in clinical settings as part of long-term health management.

The Science Plan range is distinct from Hill’s Prescription Diet products (which are formulated for specific medical conditions and require vet approval), but the two lines are part of the same science-driven ecosystem. For pet owners, this means there’s a continuum of care: a Hill’s product for every stage of health, from prevention to treatment.

Everyday Benefits You Can See

Switching to a nutritionally balanced food like Hill’s Science Plan can result in visible improvements in your pet over time. Some of the most commonly reported benefits include:

• Improved energy and alertness

• Healthier skin and shinier coats

• Better stool quality and digestion

• Weight control and muscle tone

• Stronger immune system response

These are the small, everyday indicators of good health and they often start with what goes in the bowl.

How to Transition to Hill’s

If you're planning to switch your pet to Hill’s Science Plan, it’s important to transition gradually over 7–10 days. Start by mixing a small amount of Hill’s with your current food, and slowly increase the proportion until your pet is fully switched. This helps prevent digestive upset and allows your pet to adjust to the new texture and flavour.

If you're unsure which formula is right, our team at Soho Poms is happy to help. You can also consult with your vet, especially if your pet has known dietary sensitivities or underlying health concerns.

Nourish Well, Live Well

Feeding your pet isn’t just about filling a bowl, it’s about investing in their long-term health, comfort, and quality of life. With Hill’s Science Plan now available at Soho Poms, you have access to one of the most trusted and respected names in pet nutrition, all backed by real science and a clear focus on what pets need to thrive.

Whether you're welcoming a new puppy, helping a senior pet age gracefully, or simply aiming to give your furry companion the best, Hill’s offers nutrition that goes beyond the basics, and it’s now right here at your fingertips.
