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

We've been having weight issues with our 18 month old for a while, she has brain damage from when she was a kitten and she has always been weird about food. Even though she only ate a fraction of a daily serving of regular food she kept gaining and our vet thought the problem was her body being in starvation mode and converting what little she did eat straight into fat. She recommended this metabolic diet to try and get her system working right. Our cat loves this food and it is no longer a challenge to get her to eat enough! It has only been a month so we haven't been able to check on any weight lost yet (we were told to expect one pound per month), but she seems to be a little thinner in places We've been having weight issues with our 18 month old for a while, she has brain damage from when she was a kitten and she has always been weird about food.

My cats are pretty suspicious when a new food is being added to the diet so instead of slowly letting them adapt to it I just pulled their food and put the new Hill's Prescription Diet in their bowls. I stood and watched the feeding frenzy. It was gone in less than 5 minutes. I was happy to see them devour the food. My cats are both over weight and I portion control feed them. I needed something to make it seem like they were getting full but losing weight. I even tried diet food and cutting back with regular food and they started jumping upon the counters and table for more to eat. So I took them to the Vet and she told me about this food and gave me samples.

They needed to hear from the Veterinary clinic I use. I was frantic so I called customer service and whoever I talked to was wonderful. He told me how I could hurry the wait along by calling the vet's office myself to get them to send a prescription over. I discussed with the guy that I was going to run out of my sample food and my cats loved the food and I wanted to get them started soon. Besides that my vet's office only carried the large bag and I don't have a large enough container. Anyway I gave him the name of my vet's office and he said maybe they will contact us soon. The next day the food arrived. Just in time. I had to mix my cats morning meal with part of the old food but the evening meal was all the new food. Thank-you Chewy for the awesome service! … more

My cat's veterinarian gave me a list of several products which might meet Tigger's need for low-sugar foods. I selected the one offered by Chewy.com, from which I've been ordering for a couple of months. This Hill's Metabolic Weight Management dry food appealed to Tigger MORE than her previous dry food, Hill's Science Diet for her age range. This is amazing: Tigger LOVES this food! Therefore, it has been easy to wean her off the original Science Diet, which she liked but not as much as this one. I wish to THANK Chewy.com for their response to my inquiry as to whether I might return the unopened Science Diet bags: I was told, "We will refund the cost!

Good flavor? I believe so, because my two fat cats loved the taste the moment I placed it in their bowel. I thought I would have to mix it with their old food as they are both finicky but nope. They have not been eating allot since and their poop has become more solid and less odorless. I am still observing them with their new food as they have only ate it for a week but so far so good.

I have tried a lot of different types of weight management products but this is the first food that my cats love. My older cat who weighed 26 pounds is down to 19 lbs after one year. He is healthy. No illnesses causing his weight loss. A very good food if you are looking for weight loss. Both of my cats love it.

My cat has been on this food for like a year I think and he’s not lost any weight at ALL! He also acts like he’s hungry all the time and will not stop bothering you till he gets his food. I’m taking him to vet next week to see if it’s an internal problem, but I really hope I can find something that works soon...

Our vet put my "big" cat on a diet, and she suggested Science Diet Metabolic. This food is suppose to work with cats of different metabolisms. Both of my cats love the taste, and hopefully we are on our way to the big cat losing a couple of pounds and keeping it off.

The cats are fussy about dry food so I bought this without much hope, but they both like it. The one odd thing is that the kibble pieces are pretty big more like dog food size. One cat is big so it is fine. The other is small and has some trouble eating it.

My cats have always been very picky with food. They have been eating this food now for 5 years and have never has any issues. I only wish it was a little cheaper. They do offer great coupons every now and again to help with the cost.

Chewy had to get approval from my vet so that slowed thimgs down a few days. But now that they have the approval I will continue to buy from Chewy for the convenience.
