Maggie's Losing Weight
By Willow on Sep 16, 2020
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 ; )

My Dogs Love It!
By DiWest on Aug 26, 2020
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.

Hill's Prescription Canned Food
By Missy on Jun 11, 2020
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.

He loves it!
By Myles on Apr 3, 2020
This is not your ordinary canned dog food, this is a stew. Chucks of shredded chicken, carrots, peas, rice in a delicious gravy. Our chocolate lab Myles loves it! I mix it with some Metabolic dry kibble and it is a hit. He was never a picky eater, but he really enjoys this combination. Thanks Chewy for having it available and for speedy delivery, Myles appreciates it.

Canned Metabolic Chicken Stew
By Greyhoundmom on Jun 12, 2020
At first i split a can between my two hounds on top of their kibble, it's too rich, downsizing how much they get of the canned.
