Choosing between them
Science Plan is the range for healthy pets. Pick by species, life stage and size, then by any particular need. The age bands are printed on the pack, which makes it easy to step up from Adult 1-6 to Mature Adult 7+.
Prescription Diet products are a different category: they are formulated to help manage specific medical conditions and are intended for use under veterinary guidance. Do not switch between Science Plan and Prescription Diet without speaking to your vet.
