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.

Love this food
By Pianosis on Nov 22, 2021
I've fed this food to my dogs whether they needed to lose weight or not. Several years ago, I had a chihuahua the vet said needed to lose weight. With the help of diet (switching to R/D dry and canned) and exercise, he lost half his body weight.

Great results!
By Louiesmama on Sep 12, 2021
At our last visit to the vet our dog weighed 24 lbs, was visibly overweight and having joint pain. Our vet recommended putting our dog on a diet with a goal weight of 17 lbs. and suggested we try this food. At first our dog didn't like it even mixed with his old food. Eventually we added steamed veggies (Calif mix from the frozen veg aisle) and he finally came around and ate it. However, if you mix just a little water it instantly makes a broth and now that's how he likes it. If we add veggies now it's only with his 2nd meal. We give him 1/2 cup in the morning and 1/2 cup in the evening. We give him one special treat (dog cookie) on the weekend and one or two strawberries occasionally At our last visit to the vet our dog weighed 24 lbs, was visibly overweight and having joint pain.

He lost 4 lbs. in one month and is now 20 lbs and has a lot more energy! We are still working toward the goal weight but we know this food is definitely working to get him where he needs to be! … more

Large Kibbles
By Mere1925 on Jul 20, 2021
We got this expensive food bc our vet recommended it for our diabetic dog even though it's the weight reduction kind. We have been on it for 2 months now and haven't noticed any change in her weight. She honestly doesn't like this food and it's a struggle to get her to eat now. Also, the kibbles are too large for my small dog's liking. I have half a bag left and am getting rid of it. just not worth the struggle.

All Carbs, Not Good
By LLBean on Jul 27, 2021
My dog was put on this scrip at the end of May. I am giving her half of what the bag says to, she won’t eat it unless she’s absolutely starved and she’s actually GAINED 3 lbs in 2 months. It’s all carbs - like a human living on bread - not going to lose weight. Really irritating that vets prescribe this knowing it’s not nutritional AND is crazy expensive.

Love That r/d
By pamelaxyz on Jul 5, 2021
My Boston Terrier male was born with many issues: He was partially deaf, very large for his breed, allergies. Now, we have found out he has food upsets. He is recently on r/d. I hate that the can food is discontinued. He was so sick a couple of months ago; I thought he would die. I am thankful that I can still purchase the dry r/d. Please, please keep making it.
