Hills diet lamb meal and rice
By HoneyBunny on Feb 8, 2019
I started off with the chicken formula and my puppy (she’s three but she’s still my baby puppy) would start eating her sister’s food which is lamb meal and rice the regular one not the diet. I saw that there was the diet lamb meal and rice formula so I switched over to that and started mixing the chicken since I still had half a bag with the lamb meal and rice. My puppy would pick out the lamb meal and rice one and leave the chicken.

Losing Weight and Loving It!
By Jaycee on Dec 23, 2018
Our lab-pitt mix was quite overweight. She's been on this food mixed with a small amount of wet metabolic food since September, and has lost 10 pounds, the most she's been able to lose ever. She enjoys the food. As she has been losing, she has been far friskier and active.

My Dog Loves This Food!
By ElliesMom on Oct 16, 2018
My dog Ellie has been on this food for 3 wks. She absolutely loves it. She seems more satisfied with being able to eat 25% more than her other low calorie food. She used to refuse her other "diet" food until she became really hungry. Now she gobbles up her food. I have also noticed she seems happier, more content and more energetic. I think it's because she just feels more full and is eating something she likes.

Vet recommended changing to Hills so our golden would lose some weight for his joints. Our golden has lost 10 lbs so far.

Hard to find item
By KHCH on Aug 20, 2018
The lamb flavor of Science Diet Metabolic is extremely hard to find in the Chicago area. A rare Pet Smart may have it in the small bag size but not economical and need to drive a long distance to that store. My dogs prefer lamb flavor over chicken flavor, and lamb flavor kibble is in smaller pieces - better for my senior dogs. Chewy.com is so convenient and less expensive.

Our two other dogs are loosing weight slower on it but they are loosing weight. They all love the taste and it seems to be keeping them full. I would recommend this food and do.

Thought the dogs would not like it because it is diet. They took to it very well and seem satisfied.
