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 and 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 chicken 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% |
Days 5-6 | 25% | 75% |

When I first had my Gracie on this food 5 years or so ago, she loved it and lost weight. It wasn’t available until recently but now she picks at it and leaves most in the dish. Wondering if the recipe has changed. I want her to enjoy the food so she’ll be happy.
My chihuahua likes this food, but more importantly it's helped to control her weight. As always, chewy is always great. Fast shipping and excellent customer service.
I thought Hill Science was not making this food anymore, my VET could not get it , chewy had it and saved the day for my Bella .
Echo is an extremely picky eater to the point I get frustrated but this she absolutely inhales!! No hesitation at all!!!
My dog Kelsey eats the food right down. It’s good for her metabolism to keep off the weight and for her joints.
This was my first order with Chewy and I was not disappointed. The dog food arrived quickly and was consumed almost as fast.
I adopted a very obese dachshund. This food is the only thing that has helped her to lose a significant amount of weight. The one downside is that it gives her a LOT of gas. It is more convenient to order it from Chewy as my vet's office didn't always have it in stock. Once again Chewy has made life easier ; )
Both of my Chihuahuas really like this food. And it does fill them up so they are not looking for more kibbles in their bowl. My Vet recommended the Metabolic Weight Management, especially for my little girl who does need to lose some weight.
So glad you carry this. I was getting it from Petsmart and last few times they didn’t not have it. So glad I can get it delivered from you along with everything else my dog needs!!!
My dog is a fussy eater and to make matters worse she has to be on a metabolic food. She never liked the dry version and tried everything to entice her to eat it but it didn't work. Finally tried this canned food and she absolutely loves it! I no longer worry about her being hungry.
