Hill's Prescription Diet Metabolic Weight Management Chicken Flavor Dry Cat Food

I purchased the metabolic food in the hopes that my 17 pound cat will drop a few pounds. She has asthma and the steroid in her inhaler treatments has caused her to put on a bit of weight even though she is an active cat. I've tried everything from cutting back the amount of food I feed her to shifting the ratio of dry to wet in favor of wet food. Finally I asked my vet for a prescription for this food. I'm introducing it to both of my cats slowly, just putting a half of a handful of these kibbles on top of the food they have now until I can make the switch. They both run to the food bowl and eat these kibbles and leave the rest. I'll update my review in a few months if there is any weight I purchased the metabolic food in the hopes that my 17 pound cat will drop a few pounds.

I also bought the treats and the wet food. Also great! … more

My Guen, is a 14yr old female kitty. Extremely obese. After testing. It's just that she eats the scraps. So, she wrote me a script for this. I'm hesitant about diet food, as it's a bit ridiculous. But, she does need a good low fat, so why not. So, here we are. She seems to like it. Slow transition, and she seems okay with the idea. Even some of the other cats will steal a bite. So, good luck with your diabetic or fatty fat!

My cat is overweight. He weighed 21 pounds at the last vet visit. They recommended this food to help him lose weight. I know it isn't cheap, but we get 3 weeks out of one bag. I portion out the food for his daily allowance. He loves the food, and has lost weight on it. only about a pound so far, but a step in the right direction. He also seems to be more active. It is cheaper on Chewy.com. You do need a prescription to purchase this food, and when I couldn't find it, I chatted with someone. They called the vet right away to get the prescription! Amazing customer service along with amazing prices.

This has helped our 25lbs cat lose weight. So far he's lost about 4 lbs since we started him on it which the vet says is great weight loss for a cat so we're glad we got the prescription and put him on this diet. If you can't get your cat on this diet make sure to give them lots of protein filled food and grain free is good. The wetter the food the better but ours won't eat it.

Our vet recommended this food as an option for our 8 year-old cat who is slightly overweight. It was easy to switch over to it and now it is her exclusive food. Chewy provided excellent customer service from start to finish! Will be ordering from Chewy again.

Tigi is very very picky cat when it comes to her food. To be honest I never thought she would enjoy metabolic dry food because she did not for so many brands, This one was love at first side for her, Thanks to her vet and Hills

Besides the fact that it works. My cats love the taste. I do give this dry food along with the TD (so they brush their teeth too, haha!) but they always eat this first before eating the TD. But they like the TD too.

you asked how me and the cat likes the product, the cat has been on this product for a long time and still goes for it, I personally found unless you mix it with applesauce or cranberries, its a little dry

This is very high quality food that we could only get with a prescription from our Vet. The high price was a shock to us. Our cats love the food and it is working for them.

I adopted my cat in June 2014 and over the next several years it was a constant struggle to battle his gluttonous ways. He either didn't feel satisfied or the food had too many calories. In April 2017 my vet prescribed him this cat food. I transitioned him to it slowly and he gobbled it all up. His latest weigh in a few days ago showed he has lost about 2-2.5 pounds (you don't want weight loss to be too quick). He still seems satisfied between meals and eats every last kibble (I spread 5 small meals throughout the day using an auto feeder). I also like how the kibbles are slightly bigger and more of a pyramid shape, rather than a small circle shape - definitely not too large, though.

He will actually chew and crunch on some instead of swallowing them all whole. Although this food is expensive, it's worth it for my kitty's health. … more
