Ranger eats it up!
By Ranger on Oct 11, 2020
My Dog was gaining weight and becoming a slug! He is 20 lbs over weight. After having blood work done, it was discovered that his metabolism was so low and he has hypothyroidism. My Vet suggested the Prescription Diet for Ranger, along with Thyroid medication. I was afraid the food wasn't going to be very palatable, and was shocked on how much Ranger loves the food! He has been on the food for 2 weeks now and will get blood work retested and weighed in another 2 weeks. I can see a big difference already. A little costly, but if t does the job, I'm good with that!

Metabolic dog food
By Tags on Aug 31, 2020
I put April Ruby Belle ( my 13 year old American Eskimo on the Hills Metabolic food at the suggestion of my veterinarian. She has only been on it a couple months but I have noticed an increase in her energy level. I'm hoping that will continue and also help with her weight. So far no weight lost but none gained either which is a good thing.

Vet recommended
By Lorraine on Aug 28, 2020
Our vet recommended this to help with our goldens much needed weight loss. She hasn't been on the scale since starting on this about a month ago but she does love it. The only problem is the price although cheaper from chewy then the vet. FIngers crossed this does the trick.

Good for weight loss
By Nadie on Sep 29, 2020
My beagle needs to watch his weight and this dog food does that. I will mention that the bag’s recommended feeding amount is on the high side. We had to taper down the amounts.

weight control food
By Furbaby on Sep 4, 2020
this change of food was recommended by my vet to help my 32 lb dog lose weight. He should be about 25 lbs. He has been eating it for about a month and it is working. (also cutting out those treats helps!).

My dog loves it!
By Sierra on Jul 8, 2020
Our vet recommended this diet to try because our dog, Sierra needs to lose some weight. This is our second order but she still weigh the same, at least she hasn't gain any. We are hoping that she will lose some pounds this time around. Her vet said to give it some time and to avoid giving her treats if we want faster results, so maybe that's why she's not losing weight as fast as we hope, LOL! The good news is she loves it and her bowel movement is daily, sometimes three times a day!

Good Choice for the pudgy dog.
By Knight on Oct 2, 2020
Well balanced kibble helped my Cavalier lose 2 lbs in 2 months. It took some time for him to warm up to the new food, but persistence paid off.

Weighting to See
By BlueAgaveRanch on Jul 1, 2020
It wasn’t quite as easy as it looks. I had trouble with my vet receiving Chewy’s fax for authorization, but Chewy’s customer service was outstanding once I realized there was a problem. I use Chewy for non-prescription dog food and love it! My dog has been on this food for about a month and the weight loss is slow but she likes it and we’re going the right direction.i love the resealable bag that it comes in too.
