Almost 50% of the pet population is overweight. Even a little extra weight can lead to serious health problems. Extra weight can reduce play time, impact mobility and affect the general health of your dog. Factors contributing to weight gain include age, lack of exercise and overfeeding. Many commercial pet foods are loaded with salt and fat, which improve the taste but also have dramatic effects on your dog's weight and overall health. Along with frequent physical exercise, choosing the right food plays a very important role in helping dogs reach their proper weight. At Hill's, nutritionists and veterinarians have developed clinical nutrition especially formulated to reduce dogs' body fat by 22% in two months, while keeping him or her satisfied.

Ask your Veterinarian about the best way to transition your pet to a new food.

We love this food for our overweight dog. We rotate between all the prescription dry foods (hills metabolic, royal canin satiey support, Purina OM) each bag. The rd seems to be the lowest calories out of them all. My dog has lost over 8 pounds on prescription food without having to reduce her dog food portions to an insane tiny amount. Keeps her full. I notice with any prescription low calorie food that the dog poop is always a larger amount due to the fiber. Chewy has the best prices for our little dogs food. She started out at 17 pounds and needs to be at 6-7 pounds. The bet mentioned once she looses the weight needed we will need to keep her on this for awhile after but adjust her portion We love this food for our overweight dog.

The only complaint I have is chewy sent hills b/d script food the first time instead of hills r/d. A quick phone call to chewy and of course they fixed it. I was able to donate the hills b/d to a local rescue that actually fed this food to one of their foster dogs. Thanks chewy for great prices and free shipping. … more

Unfortunate
By Debra on Jan 11, 2021
Prescribed by vet but my dog wouldn’t eat it. Changed to the Small Paws lite chicken version and it’s going well. Only a few calories more per cup than the r/d but cheaper and dog likes it better.

Pretty expensive for no nutrition
By Doodles on Dec 31, 2020
According to a website that rates dog foods, this product had absolutely no nutritional value. The first 2 ingredients are whole grain corn and corn gluten meal. I would rather put the money into a more nutritional food.

Great Product and Great Service
By Madden on Jan 10, 2021
This dog food was prescribed by my vet for my 10 year old Puggle who was somewhat overweight. He loves this food and has now lost 5 lbs! The customer service at Chewy.com was phenomenal.

This food is a lifesaver!
By Lizzie on Oct 5, 2020
My 11 year old dog is on medication that causes weight gain. She was terribly overweight and nothing we did was helping, we tried cutting her meal portions and she was hungry all the time. My vet put her on this food about 10 months ago and she’s dropped from 71lbs to 57lbs. Goal weight is about 52-53lbs. This food keeps her full and satisfied and she loves the taste of it. She is SO much happier and her energy level has increased dramatically. She’s very active now and it’s hard to believe she’s 11. My vet said she’s probably added years to her life and we couldn’t have done it without this food.

Dogs Love It
By Marlee on Nov 30, 2020
My dogs love this food. If you add a small amount of water it makes its own gravy and they go wild over it. They will also eat it dry. My Yorkie reached her goal weight.
