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.

A gradual transition to a new pet food is important to avoid digestive upset. To transition, mix your pet’s current food with the new food. Over 7 days, gradually decrease the amount of the current pet food while increasing the amount of new pet food. In some cases, your veterinarian may recommend no transition or a shorter transition time.

This does what is says it will do
By Tiffany on May 23, 2020
I started giving this to my golden shepherd mix maybe 6 months ago. He weighed about 96 lbs, about 10 - 15 lbs over weight. He gains the most during summer because we live in Arizona and exercise is hard during this time because of the heat. After the virus hit our states, i was able to also walk him about 3 miles every morning for a month and a half, before the heat hit. I didnt realize how much weight he had lost until we went camping recently and i tried his harness on that no longer fit him due to weight gain and it fit him again - with room to spare! Anyway, my cat is also obsessed with this food.

I appreciate what it can do for our dog.
By Socksdaddy on Apr 15, 2020
The day we got it Socks, our dog, ate it like she had never eaten before. However, now that she has eaten it for awhile she’s back to her old self. When the food is put down she sniffs it and walks away. Eventually she will eat but not with the same gusto she did when she first ate it.

Finger cross on the weight loss
By DogLover17 on Feb 24, 2020
Vet recommended hills was using the weight management for almost a year saw a slight change in his weight in the beginning but then no Further weight and he was getting 1hr walks twice a day for most of the week. Now we are a bit less active so I change to this weight reduction formula a few weeks ago hoping it help my baby she’s the unwanted pounds. He’s not extremely overweight but he does need to go down to his ideal 20-25 lbs he's currently at 29lbs and I’m hoping we can go back to more frequent walks as weather permits. We still play indoors. He’s not a dog that likes to ply fetch but I get him to chase a laser light so at times.

Miracle worker for my chihuahua
By NatalieJ on Dec 5, 2019
My older female chi has always been rather passionate about her two great loves in life: eating and sleeping. Naturally the combination of the two lead to my sweet girl starting on the way to being a chonk, so we decided to give this food a go after trying various other methods. This works like a charm and within a month she was within her healthy weight range and she loves the food on top of that so it’s a win-win.

Lab Loves It!
By Adolph on Dec 6, 2019
My lab has been on this for approx 6 weeks. He loves it and it seems to keep him full. He has not been weighed since he started this weight reduction yet so not sure how much weight he lost in 6 weeks. I will write another review when I have that info.

Can’t wait!!
By Peggy on Oct 21, 2019
I had a Golden several years ago that got really fat and the vet suggested this food. In a short time he lost all the extra weight. Now I have another Golden with the same problem so I’m getting the same food. It’s expensive but getting the weight off your dog allows him to live longer and feel better....not so much trouble getting up and down. He’s 8 and is slowing down because of his weight. I can’t wait to see his poundage drop.

Worth The Money
By Sandy on Dec 4, 2019

Hill's Prescription Diet r/d
By Shasbat on Oct 6, 2019
Recommended by our Vet due to our dog being overweight and he LOVES it. It is expensive but just when we needed it you had an additional special on this which made it affordable along with your 5% . We have been a member for a long time and hope you continue these specials.
