Almost 50% of the pet population is overweight. Even a little extra weight can lead to serious health problems. Extra weight reduces play time, impacts mobility and affects the general health of your cat. Factors contributing to weight gain include age, lack of exercise and overfeeding. Many commercial pet foods are loaded with salt and fat, which improve the taste but also have dramatic effects on your cat's weight and overall health. Along with frequent physical exercise, choosing the right food plays a very important role in helping cats reach their proper weight. At Hill's, nutritionists and veterinarians have developed clinical nutrition especially formulated to help cats effectively lose weight and maintain appropriate glucose levels.
Key Benefits- Clinical nutrition especially formulated to help cats effectively lose weight and maintain appropriate glucose levels.
- Formulated to reduce body fat, maintain lean muscle mass, and support a healthy immune system.
- Therapeutic L-carnitine levels help maintain normal fat metabolism in the liver.
- Formulated with S+OXSHIELD to meet specific nutrient standards, shown to promote a urinary environment that helps reduce the risk for struvite and calcium oxalate crystals.
- Offers same great taste and benefits as they did prior to the introduction of the S+OXSHIELD seal.
This product requires a veterinary prescription. Simply provide your vet's information during checkout and we'll follow up to confirm the prescription, or email a copy of your prescription to vetdiet@chewy.com and we'll get your order out right away.

Our cat was diagnosed with diabetes a year ago and required 3units of insulin 2x day along with being prescribed Hill’s m/d wet & or dry food. He prefers the dry over wet (maybe it’s the pork flavor of the wet?). Over the course of the year his insulin needs began to drop until he was on 1 unit 1x day. Currently he is off the insulin altogether (with regular glucose checks). Woo hoo!! Thank you Hill’s!

Our cat loves Hill's Prescription Diet! The vet gave her a bag and she dove into it from the first bowl. She prefers it over the expensive treats and has stopped begging for table food. Taffy is a big gal so the goal is to take a few pounds off. We think she is on the way. Chewy delivered the order within 24 to 48 hours. (I think it was actually 24.) It couldn't be any easier than ordering from Chewy. The price is the best we've found anywhere, too. Customer and kitty approved!

I have two cats and one has diabetes. This is more expensive than the Purina, but the cat that doesn't have diabetes tolerates it far better.

You'll need a prescription through the vet, of course, but my cats eat full portions. Reasonably priced, too.

The Hills Prescription Diet m/d is a great cat food. I would have given a 5 Star rating if I could get it in a larger bag. It costs about the same through Chewy as through my vet. I will order from Chewy because of the convenience. Customer service would get a 5 plus from me!

To my surprise and great relief, my finicky cat immediately accepted the new weight management/glucose prescription Hill dry food.

Cat did not like pork flavor of wet m/d but eats the chicken dry without much problem.

I love Chewy.com for the great delivery response time! I wish this catfood came in different flavors for my finicky senior kitty but we do what we need to do to take care of our furry children.

We just found out our cat has diabetes and we are using this food to bring his sugars down. So far they are down 120 points so the doctor is happy with the progress.
