Pet's info: Dog | Shetland Sheepdog | Female
On the Hills homepage they say that the Hills Prescription diet Derm Defense can be used long term. But my question is if I should use it long term. I jist want a food for my dog that will give her the healthiest life possible, I don't really care about the cost.

It definitely is a balanced diet that is safe for long-term use. It is most commonly used in dogs with skin issues or food allergies, so if this is a problem that Kira experiences, it would be a great choice. There are also lots of great foods that are available to you. I have fed my dog Purina Pro-Plan since she was a puppy. She is now 14 and has no health issues! I would discuss the best option with your vet.
