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 because that extra weight can reduce play time, impact mobility and affect the lifelong general health of your cat.
Hill's nutritionists & veterinarians developed Prescription Diet Metabolic clinical nutrition specially formulated to support your pet's weight management. In fact, 88% of pets lost weight at home in 2 months when fed the nutrition of Metabolic.
This dry food is made with chicken and has an irresistible taste that your cat will love.
