It works great. Finally a food that helps your babies lose weight.
By Rudy on Mar 30, 2021
My 2 babies one is 4 and the other is 3 were very overweight. They were put on this food by the doctor and it works. You have to give them the amount of food that they should get at their correct weight size. My babies are 53 and 64 and should be around 40-45 each. They have lost alot and are looking much thinner. They like the food and it agrees with their stomachs. My girl gets an upset stomach from anything, however the food agrees with her. I boil carrots and cut them up into pieces. Instead of giving them cookies for treats, their treats are carrots.

Works great!
By misop1 on Mar 18, 2021
I was worried that my pups would not like this food or that it would not work (after reading other people experiences) however, my pups took to this food instantly! I also began monitoring their weight carefully providing the proper portions day/night and after 2-3 weeks to my surprise they were losing weight. It's not a drastic reduction in weight but 1/2 - 3/4 of a lb. in 2-3 weeks is not bad at all in my opinion. I will continue to use and monitor but so far, this solution appears to be working.

Bailey's diet food
By Bailey on Apr 21, 2021
Bailey took to eating this food and it was an easy switch. He really likes it! He's been on it now for about 2.5 weeks. However, he's also more active with the nicer weather coming back. Between the food and more exercise, he's losing weight and looking much better!

A complete miracle
By Jitterbug on May 19, 2021
The vet recommended my dog lose 5lbs. within the next 9-12 months (she is supposed to weigh 10lbs). After three weeks she has lost a pound and a half and has a lot more energy!

Dog likes it
By Minpinmom on May 19, 2021
I bought this as an alternative to the Royal Canin version since it's been out of stock. My dog (min pin) eats, but I can tell the bites are a bit too big for her.

My dog loves me the taste. She’s only been on it a week but lost a pound already. I just hate the cost.

Just What I Needed!
By BassetMom on Jan 21, 2021
My big boy will eat anything, and as much as he can get. I think it is maybe a Basset thing. He was the biggest in his litter. Over his 5 years, he has packed on the pounds. His vet said that he needs to lose weight if I want him to live because his weight would put a strain on his heart. The bag comes with advice on how much to feed for the desired weight, so you will have to call your vet to ask what that is for your dog. Be aware that some vets put more importance on healthy weight than others, so I will call the vet in that practice who more closely monitors our dog's weight. The pieces are about 1/2" in size so I don't know if a toy size dog would like it.

Weight Problem
By Bear on Mar 22, 2021
My dog, Bear, is a Dachsund with a little bit of a weight problem. But as he got older the weight became a health issue. My veterinarian suggested Hill's Metabolic, and it was like a magic bullet. Bear looks and feels great.

Very effective for weight loss!
By Robin on Feb 18, 2021
Our two Labradors are prone to weight gain, particularly in winter, and this sub zero winter in Kansas! Our yellow Lab also takes medication every 8 hours for seizures, big pills that have to be given with food. This food is amazing for getting them back to their ideal weight after gaining too much. They are on weight maintenance food regularly.
