Just like the human epidemic, almost 50% of the pet population is overweight. Even a little extra weight can impact the pet's quality of life and relationship with family because that extra weight can reduce play time, impact mobility and affect the lifelong general health of your cat. Hill's nutritionists and veterinarians developed Prescription Diet Metabolic clinical nutrition specially formulated to support your cat's weight management. In fact, 88% of pets lost weight at home in two months when fed the nutrition of Metabolic.
Key Benefits- When switching to this formula, 88% of pets lost weight at home in just 2 months.
- Naturally works with your pet's unique metabolism and helps to avoid weight regain after weight loss.
- Helps your pet feel full and satisfied between meals while supporting vitality and holistic health.

Transition Instructions
Pets can be sensitive to sudden changes in their diets. For this reason, it is extremely important to follow a gradual transition plan to best support your pet's health and product effectiveness. It is recommended to follow at least a 7-day transition plan before exclusively feeding your pet a new food. Cats will often refuse mixed diets, so we recommend adding the new food to a separate bowl from the old food. Start by mixing 75% of your pet's current diet with 25% of the new diet on Day 1 and Day 2. On Day 3 and Day 4, mix 50% of the current diet with 50% of the new diet. On Day 5 and Day 6, mix 25% of the current diet with 75% of the new diet. On Day 7, you can feed your pet the new food exclusively. Ask your Veterinarian about the best way to transition your pet to a new food.
Transition Day | Current Diet | New Diet |
---|---|---|
Days 1-2 | 75% | 25% |
Days 3-4 | 50% | 50% |
Days 5-6 | 25% | 75% |
Day 7 | 0% | 100% |

Perfect formula!
By Katie on Oct 17, 2021
My cat gained a bunch of weight when he started stealing food from my sick cat (Rude, right?) Then we got microchip feeders and my tubby kitty figured out how to get into his brother's feeder. (He's stupid with everything except food….) My cat went into the vet and weighed a whopping 19.75lbs. My vet put him on this and three months later, he's down to about 16.5lbs. Bit of advice (from my vet) — count the calories. Ignore the bag's directions. My cat gets 3/8ths of a cup a day. Yes. That's it. He's fine. You gotta weigh your cat and figure out what measurement is gonna let them lose the weight. My vet suggested going down about 10-20% each time your cat starts to plateau.

New cat, who dis?
By Brooks on Oct 6, 2021
This food as given me a whole new cat. Pinta gained a bit of happy weight after adoption and the upwards trend continued, especially over the last 6 months. The vet recommended this food as a starting point to get her weight under control to help with her asthma. What I didn't expect was a WHOLE NEW CAT. She has more energy, she's happier, she's PLAYING, she's fighting with her brother, when before she'd just nap in various spots all day and not really engage. The food is even easy enough on the stomach that her brother with a sensitive tummy doesn't get sick on it when almost everything makes him sick. Love this food. Love Hills prescription diet food. 10/10, highly recommend.

Good cat food, delivery not so much
By Browser on Oct 28, 2021
The product is fine, kitty on it for a couple of years. But "free 1-2 day delivery" was over a week, which we didn't expect. Will know next time, but don't count on quick delivery.

A good first step to weight loss
By Marcy on Sep 29, 2021
I have a VERY fat cat and tried this food mostly for him. He loves it! The other cats eat it too which is OK as it wouldn't hurt them to lose a few pounds, too. I will continue with this food for Eric

Picky Cat Don't Care
By Chubbs on Aug 6, 2021
Our cat is not a big cat, but he is 16.7LBS. We've never had a cat growing up that big. We originally had him on Blue Buffalo weight management (blue bag), but it wasn't cutting it, so I talked to the vet and they recommended this. I was worried he wasn't going to like it because he is PICKY!!!!!!!! I mixed his old food with his new food for 6 days like they recommended then on the 7th day he only got the new food. The boy cannot get enough! It does keep him pretty full, at least I think it does, but I have noticed by the evening time he is out of food. I guess that is a good thing, but I don't want to starve him......ugh mother worries....am i right???
