Pets can be sensitive to sudden changes in their diets. For this reason, it is extremely important to follow a gradual transition plan to best support your pet's health and product effectiveness. It is recommended to follow at least a 7-day transition plan before exclusively feeding your pet a new food. Cats will often refuse mixed diets, so we recommend adding the new food to a separate bowl from the old food. Start by mixing 75% of your pet's current diet with 25% of the new diet on Day 1 and Day 2. On Day 3 and Day 4, mix 50% of the current diet with 50% of the new diet. On Day 5 and Day 6, mix 25% of the current diet with 75% of the new diet. On Day 7, you can feed your pet the new food exclusively. Ask your Veterinarian about the best way to transition your pet to a new food.
Transition Day | Current Diet | New Diet |
---|---|---|
Days 1-2 | 75% | 25% |
Days 3-4 | 50% | 50% |
Days 5-6 | 25% | 75% |
Day 7 | 0% | 100% |

She likes it
By CatMom on Jan 15, 2021
Our 7-year old kitty really likes the Hills Metabolic prescription diet in the canned and dry formulas - as much as the non-prescription food we had given her before. She seems to be more energetic and playful. She has just begun on this diet, but we are hopeful she will shed her excess weight.

Great Food
By Kittens on Jan 10, 2021
My cat who has to lose weight likes this food, and it is working for his weight loss. It’s frustrating you haven’t had any in stock for a while. Hope you will get some in soon.

Yum! Thank you, Chewy!
By Murray on Jan 7, 2021
Murray Elvis loves this recipe! (He doesn't even know it's good for him....shhhh) Unfortunately, it's been out of stock the last two times I ordered. Need to get on auto ship.

Great for a while ...
By Stanley on Oct 25, 2020
My cat has done well on the Metabolic plan, to a point. He liked the chicken stew and the tuna stew. The chicken stew formula appeared to change - it looked and smelled awful and my cat wouldn't touch it. Would not even taste it. We didn't order the chicken again. He ate the tuna stew until this week. Same as the chicken. One day he ate it with gusto. First can out of the new case and he won't go near it. It concerns me that there's something in this case that wasn't in previous batches. It all needs to be returned.

She loves it
By Deaux on Dec 11, 2020
My cat absolutely loves this flavor! It is her favorite. And somehow I feel that she's learning better portion control with how much she eats.

Canned food
By Jewels on Jun 20, 2020
I was so excited to see Hill's was now offering not only a variety of flavors in the prescription diet metabolic weight management wet cat food, but also a smaller size! Sometimes my cat is more into the dry food and then the wet food is wasted. The small cans are perfect for those times!

My fussy cat loves this food.
By Tess on Apr 16, 2020
As always, service and delivery from Chewy were excellent. I have tried many wet foods for my fussy cat. The vet recommended the Metabolic food for Makenzie’s weight problem. I was hesitant to order a whole case of it, because in the past the cat has taken one bite then pushed the rest off her plate, but am glad I did. She loves the food and eagerly gobbles it up. She is maintaining a healthier weight and looks great!

My kitty says "I Love this food"
By Saylor on Jun 11, 2020
It takes a long time for cats to lose weight and this is why she is on this food. I'm so happy that she enjoys it. She has lost 1 1/2 pounds. She started at 21 pounds.
