We had tried everything to get our overweight chihuahua to slim down. After a few tests and some bloodwork, our vet chalked it up to just a slow metabolism. She’s been on Hills Metabolic for about 35 days and has gone from 11.11lbs to 11.6 ... That’s a lot for her...all things considered . The food is a little expensive but our first 8lb bag lasted 45 days and seeing her shed almost half a pound already makes it so worth it! She will be down to her goal weight of 8.5 lbs in no time ! Follow the instructions / feeding guidelines and your pup will be looking good in no time !

I know it works as long as you follow the program to the 'T'! But it's so darn expensive and my wittle pittie is so darn handsome that he gets the same treats Arrow does. Yes, following the program got Beau down from 84 to 72 lbs, (he was a lot heavier before I brought him in) but I simply cannot afford this any longer. He's definitely gained some more weight back, but has plenty of energy and will paw your leg if it's treat time lol

I was feeding my border collie another popular and healthful brand but she got a bit chubby. I had surgery and can't exercise her as much I used too. The vet recommended Metabolic and she loves it. It's only been a few months but she looks a little smaller. We'll see when we go to the vet next week.

Echo is overweight and had to lose some serious pounds. We bought Metabolic diet food per our vets recommendation. Chewy has the best prices plus it’s delivered right to my door. With auto ship I never have to worry about remembering to have food available for Echo. I called Chewy up to help me change my autoship and they were happy to do it for me. Chewy is the best!! And to top of off, Echo loves the diet food :)

My Belgian Shepherd has been overweight (about 10 pounds) for over 2 years now and I have repeatedly told the vet I control his food, walk him everyday, take him to dog parks every weekend, and nothing was working. Finally I decided to switch vets, and this new vet recommended Prescription diet. At first I was hesitant because of the price, but I knew I needed to lower Odin's weight asap. He has been on this food for 5 weeks now, and yesterday I took him to the vet to weigh him, and he lost 4 pounds!! I changed NOTHING apart from his food. His whole life routine is still the same. I am so happy and would recommend this to anybody that needs their pup to loose some unwanted pounds.

My dog is an overweight dog and our vet decided to put him on this dog food because nothing was really helping him. Now, I was told by my vet to be sure to gradually switch his food with his old food because it could cause an upset stomach for him since it is a prescription dog food. After the first couple of days of switching his food we didn't experience any issues at all. Come a week after, he's fully adjusted to the food and still no issues. He seems to enjoy it just as much! We went to our 1 month check up and he lost a little over a pound since he's been on this diet!! Also, my vet did recommend us purchasing the food from Chewy because it was possibly cheaper and the fact that it could My dog is an overweight dog and our vet decided to put him on this dog food because nothing was really helping him.

Nothing to really recommend because you have to have a prescription for your dog to be on this food. My dog likes it and she’s loosing weight. That’s what counts.

My dog is a 12 year old Blue tick coon dog/traveling man breed. As he aged he started to lose his activity, and gain wait, plus bad joints. I started feeding this and he lost weight, and is way more active. It is pricey, but, hey, he is my dog!!!
