A gradual transition to a new pet food is important to avoid digestive upset. To transition, mix your pet’s current food with the new food. Over 7 days, gradually decrease the amount of the current pet food while increasing the amount of new pet food. In some cases, your veterinarian may recommend no transition or a shorter transition time.

A food that works for my big boy!
By Sheba on Jun 2, 2020
I have been feeding this food to my big boy for about a year. It does take time to work but with daily play routine and proper portion control he has done amazing! I should say he does not get any other food than this stuff. He was really overweight when we adopted him. He was weighing in at about 17-18 pounds when we started and he is now down to 13 pounds! He is a stockier cat by nature ( has more of a tomcat build) and our vet said that his ideal weight should be 12 pounds. We could not be happier with his progress and we will continue on this food. :) 5 stars all around!

My cat is eating it!
By NCRNRet on Jun 15, 2020
Vet ordered the Metabolic Weight Management Dry food for my cat after a recent visit. I have had another cat in past that wouldn't eat Hill's food. I was pleasantly surprised when my cat was actually eating the dry food. Don't really know her weight yet, but she sure is feeling better.

Great diet food
By Deadina on Jun 12, 2020
My cat loves the dry metabolic Hills Science cat food. I had been giving her only the canned but now I alternate. She has lost three pounds and is so much more active. She can groom herself now. I highly recommend the dry and the canned metabolic Hills Science cat food!

Doctor Recommended...Chewy Delivered!!
By Annette on May 18, 2020
Chewy has made it safer and easier for me to receive my pet's prescribed food through quick and easy delivery. Once you have uploaded, or have your vet upload, the prescription, it saves you a trip to the vet, and, during this quarantine time, it's a very safe and convenient way to make certain that your pet (or pets) continue to get the nutrition they need!

This product works...
By Perky101 on Feb 21, 2020
My vet suggested this weight loss product. You must be strict about following the wright loss plan:measure it out , NOTHING ADDED, no foodstuff out, and you will have slow , safe, and good et loss results. Just wish price were LOWER. But an overweight pet’s health issues are avoided. If multiple cats, serve your overweight cat in separate area. All standing food is removed . My other rescues of normal weight eat twice a day too. Can’t leave dry food to nibble. The whole bunch are fed the same way. Only 1 of the 4 had weight issues. No more! And Bobby has become more active and lively. Needed to lose 4 pounds!! Maintained thru his same Hill’s dry food product.

She loves it
By Terri on Apr 29, 2020
Bertie loves it. But then so do her thinner siblings Skye Ming and Edward. Hopefully with warmer weather and the Hills Metabolic Weight, she will get her weight down.

Made my Cats Constipated
By NataliesMom on Apr 18, 2020
I wish they would have offered a smaller/less expensive size to start with, or offered samples. After a Month of trial and error it’s clear that this made my 2 cats totally constipated.

By Catfamily on Mar 26, 2020
Our boys are overweight especially Luciano. All over 20 lbs. they really like this and we’ve tried other diet food. Of course check with your vet. Their next vet visit is in June so we’ll see if they lost weight!
