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

I finally caved and went with the prescription food on August 1 when my dear cat Dax tipped the scale to 21 pounds. He should only be 13 - 14 pounds. Dax accepted the dog-sized kibble readily enough -- he is also exceptionally food-motivated. It is August 24 at the time of this review. He gets a 50-50 blend with his old food (his vet said this was acceptable) because he'd rather eat salmon flavor than chicken flavor. If I do not blend, he eats out of the other cat's dish. Dax seems to be more willing to move and play again, which is fantastic. He is down to 18 pounds, which is probably equivalent to a human losing 10 pounds in one week due to loss of retained water. The price is hefty I finally caved and went with the prescription food on August 1 when my dear cat Dax tipped the scale to 21 pounds. He should only be 13 - 14 pounds.

The price is hefty and the only way to really know if it is worth it is after a longer-term use of the product to see if the weight continues dropping and then stays off. If I could find the ocean whitefish, I'd be ecstatic because Dax prefers fish flavor over chicken. Although, if the food remains successful blended 50-50 with regular food, the price shock is also mitigated. Presently, I would say this is a worthwhile product. … more

I have 2 very picky cats. One of them is overweight and i thought i had tried every diet food in the market. I went as far as spending a significant amount of money on specialized high protein food and no much change on weight and again she was very picky. Our vet last visit recommended this food, and it was a hit with my girl. She runs to her bowl when its food time and i think i started seeing some changes already, shes getting more mobile. Ill continue on this diet and see where it takes us

Lilly and Wendy are my beautiful cats ... They needed to loose some weight and I tried many brands of diet cat food. Nothing seemed to help until the vet recommended Hill’s Prescription Diet I was pretty skeptical thinking it was going to be another disappointment. But I have to say this brand seems to be helping quite a lot. The girls are finally starting to look a lot slimmer... so I think I’ll keep them on it until they reach the vet recommended weight ...

At their last Vet visit, my cats, Lula Bell and Snaggle Puss, was instructed to lose weight. Being able to order their weight management food online at a reasonable price is wonderfully convenient and very helpful. Because it is a prescription, the Veterinarian forward the script to your customer service representatives and we received the product within a few days; no fuss – no muss. Excellent Service!

My cat is overweight because I was feeding her too much each day even though it seemed like a reasonable amount to me. My vet explained to me how much food she should be eating and recommended Hill's Prescription Diet Metabolic Management Dry Cat Food. She LOVES it. She gets just the right amount of this along with a reduced amount of her canned food per day.

I had not used this for Cats before now, but the same food did an amazing job helping our old lab loose the pounds. So far is good for the kitty too ~ it fills them up so they don't feel hungry or like they are missing out. Thank you Chewy for making it affordable on my fixed income

My 21 # cat started this. Skeptical. Turned out my cat likes it fine. In fact, I have to keep my kittens out of it! Took a few weeks to adjust and She ate less with scheduled feedings. Now she is eating normally and on her way to a more svelte figure.

This is the first bag of this prescription diet, and I hope that I see a change in the weight of my cats. Since I have to free-feed them, they have a tendency to overeat. The hope is that they can still freefeed but lose weight in the process.

Chessie gobbles this food up every time I put it down and I can already see a loss of weight from it ! Can't wait till his next vet appointment. For some reason this fussy cat won't eat the same product in wet food cans.

I have 3 cats total. 1 is over weight so he is getting this food & he does like it! The other 2 cats like this food too, so I have to keep a watch out during feeding time as I don't want them to loose any weight :)
