HILL'S PRESCRIPTION DIETMetabolic Weight Management Lamb Meal & Rice Formula Dry Dog Food, Veterinary Diet, 17.6 lb. Bag

This was the only food that helped my rottweiller lose weight without upsetting her stomach and it also curbed her hunger. I found out about this food on YouTube just bt chance.

Prior to beginning his "diet", I fed him non -preccription weight management dog food with tiny bit of mix ins so he didn't get bored of same ol food day in/day out. When the vet said, ZERO mix ins or treats I expected my boy would go on a hunger strike in protest. To my surprise he ate entire bowl of the chicken flavored kibble as is, without mix ins. The size (1/2 inch) and triangular shape of the kibble is probably best suited for medium to largebreeds. Also according to the feeding instructions I was able to give him more than what he was eating before the diet. My dog met his target weight at the follow up appt and everyone is happy. Bonus: I save few bucks with subscription and I don't have to worry about lugging 27lb bag of food home. The largest size lasts us 5-6 weeks (70lb pit mix). It arrives like clockwork on my doorstep packaged inside a box. Personally I think the box is wasteful however the box AND the plastic dog food bag is recyclable. My local 'Pet Supplies Plus' store collects pet food/treat bags for recycling. I would recommend this dog food to anyone. I deducted a star due to the RIDICULOUSLY high price.

great buy and presciption was complete in 2 days!!!!

There are only 234 calories per cup! It’s the lowest in its class of prescription diet food and it’s suitable for any size dog. And it tastes delicious seeing the my dog has only lost 4 lbs. but at around $100 for 27.5 lb bag, it is pricey.I do admit though, giving treats as well. Prescription treats. Who can resist a dog pleading for more while licking his lips! Can’t always say no to him. Guikty

Unfortunately with rescues, sometimes dogs are overweight. That was the case with my miniature pinscher - she was 22 pounds and no one wanted to adopt her. Her black and tan coat looked like it was stretched to the max when I adopted her in 2017. She had a medical condition afterwards and was put on weight gaining meds. In 2022, she was put on Metabolic Chow and these Bone Treats -- she has lost from 16 pounds to 13.4 in just a few months. My dog loves these treats and have been the only treat she has been allowed to eat consistently, besides receiving her calming treat and omega-3. The Vet also put her on the metabolic canned food which I have not had any luck in getting her to eat as she should. She is holding to the 13.4, but trying to get her weight back to the normal weight of min-pins.

Using this product helped my best friend loose the weight she needed. Then she was able to maintain her weight.

My 4 y/o border collie gained 10 pounds after she's spayed. I switched to the non-prescription weight management food which worked for my other dog but not her. I read a review mentioning this food is high in fiber, which keeps her full for a longer time. Therefore I decided to try it as my husband feels bad “starving” her. she lost 3 pounds in two weeks! She also didn’t urge my husband to give her extra food later in the day. She loves the lamb flavor adult food which I’m glad it’s also available in this prescription food. It’s expensive but worth it.

My oldest dog has ALWAYS had weight issues. No matter what I did she was really hefty. Finally it got to a point where breathing was bothering her so our vet suggested this food.We stuck strictly to the measurements on the bag and within a month and a half she lost 5 pounds.Now we are at our goal weight. Started at 25lbs and now at 15lbs. She’s more playful and can even jump on the couch now! It’s worth the price
