Product Information

Hill's Prescription Diet Metabolic is clinical nutrition proven to help dogs lose weight and keep the weight off naturally by activating their unique metabolism.

Just like the human obesity epidemic, over 55% of the pet population is overweight. Even a little extra weight can impact the pet's quality of life and relationship with family as the extra weight can reduce play time, impact mobility and affect the lifelong general health of your dog. Maintaining ideal weight can help impact life expectancy by reducing risk of weight-related conditions.

This food stimulates dog's natural ability to burn fat and keep them playful & active. Its unique blend of fibre helps keep dogs feeling full and reduces food hunger between meals. In fact, 96% of dogs lost weight at home in 2 months when fed the nutrition of Metabolic. This dry food is made with chicken flavor and has an irresistible taste that your dog will love.

    Hills Prescription Metabolic

    My Beagle absolutely loves this product. Like many beagles with a tendency to eat a lot this product helped reduce and then maintain a consistent weight since moving to Metabolic 2+ years ago. The vet is impressed at each visit that she is within her ideal weight range. This product is great for weight management but I initially used it to reduce her weight by 5 kilograms.

    Smooth transition from Pro Plan to Hill's Prescription Metabolic

    My dog is 2yrs old & has always been on Pro Plan. After a transition period of one week, with zero bowel disturbances, my boy is really enjoying the Hill's Metabolic. Looking forward to seeing him shed some pounds 🤞

Frequently Asked Questions

Just like people, eating amounts vary from pet to pet. Most Hill's pet foods have a feeding guide on the package to help you determine the proper amount to feed your pet. Please keep in mind that the feeding guide is intended only as a starting point, and you should follow your veterinarian’s recommendation based on your pet's specific health needs. 

In this situation, we suggest following one or more of the tips below to encourage your pet to eat.

  • If you are starting to feed your pet a new food, a gradual transition from the current food to a new food helps wean your pet from one food to another.
  • For dogs, allow 10-20 minutes for your dog to eat, then remove the remaining food and wait to feed your dog until his next meal.
  • If you are feeding dry pet food, try hand-feeding the kibble from your hand in small portions for the first few feedings, like a treat.

Bags of dry Science Diet®, Science Diet VetEssentials and Prescription Diet® dog food should be stored in a cool, dry environment under 38°C (100°F)? This is to prevent destruction of vitamins and oxidation of fats leading to rancidity. Pet foods will retain their best flavor if stored in the original bag, which provides a fat barrier. Storage at temperatures of 48°C (120°F) for more than 48 hours can accelerate the normal degradation or destruction of the vitamins.
