My pugs' favorite food
By Rita on Apr 21, 2021
I adopted two pug mixes who a couple of years ago had gotten to be a bit pudgy. Vet recommended the Hill's Prescription Diet Metabolic Weight Management line of foods. This flavor has worked the best for them-- they love it, they slimmed down, and our vets are impressed. They also like the chicken stew and beef stew, but this formula is much more satisfying to them. For crunch, I will also give them some of the Metabolic Weight Management dry food, which they also like. The kibble is large, so likely also good for their teeth.

Perfect Weight Loss Diet
By ELLIE on Mar 24, 2021
Our Dakota is a 12 yo American Bulldog who weighed 111 lbs.; ideal body weight 70 - 75lbs. With arthritis in her back and left elbow, her weight was no friend. Science Diet Metabolic has been key to her weight loss. She now weighs 78.4 lbs. and runs and jumps with ease. We prefer the Pâté over the stew as it seems to be more filling for her. She remains on the diet to obtain her ideal body weight. Our Vet was having a difficult time obtaining the Pâté through his representative so we started using Chewy’s auto shipment. We have been extremely pleased; always arrives on time even though the website indicates they are out of stock.

Bad Substitute
By RawhideTreat on Jan 16, 2021
Hill’s Metabolic Chicken Stew has been out of stock for too long so I tried this. Awful to prepare and dog does not like it. This a bad substitute!

WOW! Great results.
By SueH on May 19, 2020
Started my boxer on combination of wet and dry Metabolic. We followed guidelines on bag as to how much to feed to lose weight and in 6 months my dog had lost the 9 lbs that the vet wanted her to lose. Awesome results. We are now moving up to maintenance. We did follow instructions to the letter with no treats or table foods. I actually used this pate canned food as a treat for special occasions, keeping very strict count of calories. My baby is so much healthier, has stopped snoring and can run almost as fast as her long legged standard poodle sister. I absolutely recommend. I'm thinking that those who say this food does not work, are perhaps not following the rules. Sometimes it is Started my boxer on combination of wet and dry Metabolic.
