We are about 12 cans into our first case of this food which our vet recommended for our 12 year old dachshund who is about 6 - 10 pounds overweight. Since he got most of his teeth pulled a year or so ago we switched him from dry food to regular canned food, which he LOVED and ate much more of. As a result, he gained quite a few extra pounds. I haven't weighed him since he's been eating this food, but he does like the taste of it and hasn't had any problems switching to it. My vet assured me he would lose weight so we will see. I give him a little less than she recommended because it's so expensive, and he doesn't usually eat as much as she prescribed.

Our overweight Dog, who had previously been on a limited ingredient/grain free diet, was recommended the Hill's Prescription Diet, kibble and canned, by out vet. Our boy loves it, his coat and skin has improved, his activity level has increased and he's losing weight. Chewy is as always great in getting any products to us in a timely manner and in perfect condition.

I have a miniature dachshund who needs to lose weight. This food is not inexpensive at the Vet's office and requires a prescription. I love autoship and the money that I save.

Candus had a torn ligament in her leg and had surgery. Vet advised it would help if she would lose some weight. She is at 17.6 lbs. A friend of mine suggested Hill's Prescription Diet Metabolic Weight Management Food. I ordered a case of the food, as well as two bags of treats, not knowing if she would even eat it. I am pleased to report that she does eat the food and seems to like it. I will be re-ordering soon. Very pleased with product. Thanks, SF

Great product if mixed with hard food to keep weight down and maintain health. I mix just little with Metabolic Hard and a "Fromm" hard Salmon flavor dog food to give them a variety and to keep teeth clean. To finish each meal with a "Dentasix" chew stick. They just love the Metabolic flavor.

It has helped my dog maintain her weight. She hasn’t lost any but she hasn’t gained any more either.

We are trying to get the weight down on our pug/Boston terrier mix. He seems to enjoy this food and is starting to slim down. We have fed our pets (dogs and cats) Hills for years and they all lived well into old age. If you are looking for a weight loss food, ask your vet about this one. There are some good dog foods out there, and this is one I trust.

Your order arrived so quickly I was surprised. My fat little dog went an entire week without eating and never would eat this product. Guess he is just going to be fat. What do you suggest i do with the other 11 cans?

This has been an amazing food for my three Cocker Spaniels! They actually love it and gobble it up at every feeding and it is controlling their weights too! It makes my life so much easier and they are very happy!
