Just like the human epidemic, almost 50% of the pet population is overweight. Even a little extra weight can lead to serious health problems. The pet's quality of life and relationship with family is also impacted because that extra weight can reduce play time, impact mobility and affect the lifelong general health of your dog. Hill's nutritionists & veterinarians developed Prescription Diet Metabolic clinical nutrition specially formulated to support your dog's weight management. In fact, 88% of pets lost weight at home in 2 months when fed the nutrition of Metabolic. This irresistible food makes it easier for you to bond with your pet with gently cooked, bite-sized chunks of real beef and natural ingredients with added vitamins and minerals.

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. 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.

Days 3-4 | 50% | 50% |

We started BoBo on a new prescription diet food and he loved it.
The last order we received of this item was not the standard quality we received in the past. If the quality of our next order is not acceptable, we will take our business else ware. When I notified you of our concerns you advised us to return the item. No apology or refund, just return if you don't like it?
Looks and smells great, our Scottie Max loves it, and he’s already looking a little less chunky after just two weeks. As always, excellent service from Chewy, they got prescription approval from our vet without any problems.
We tried giving her chicken and she didn’t like it. Switch to beef and had no problems having her eat it.
A very good quality food for your dog that needs to lose weight. The only problem is it’s out of stock!
Our diabetic yellow lab can only have so much food per day which is mostly fiber so i a a tablespoon of this or the chicken stew and she loves it of course she would like more but !!!!! This and the chicken smell good enough to eat, great supplement for her meal.
We bought this for our 2 miniature doxies. They each lost about a pound the first week (vet wants them to lose 1lb per month). Both dogs love the taste we’ve tried the both the beef and chicken stews. The only drawback is that it is SO expensive!!
If you can't provide a prescription dog food, why can't you suggest an alternative? Very poor customer service
Great product! Maintains our furbaby’s weight. Also helps with tummy issues. And a big PLUS she loves it!!
My vet prescribed this since my golden retriever is over weight (128 lbs) and recently tore her acl. So far she seems to love it and looks like she's losing weight.
