Questions
My Male Cat Rockey. He is 13 years old, weights 17pounds. He is on Hills Prescription Weight Management. Both wet and dry. He gets 1/4can in the Am / Pm. And 3/4 of a cup of dry throught the day along with some Temptations Treats . What to Expect?
- The amount you feed your cat should be determined by your veterinarian. My cat was 13.5 lbs and overweight because she is a small/short cat. The vet tech calculated that I should feed 1/4 can (small 3 oz can) AM and PM, equaling 1/2 can per day and 1/3 cup of dry metabolic per day. She lost 1 pound a year, which the vet is happy with - slow weight loss is good. Over 3 years she has lost 3 lbs and is a good weight (could lose a little more) but was maintaining until Hill's stopped making the food (Covid pandemic - guess they can't get the imported ingredients). Since your cat is 17 pounds perhaps Vet will start him with a little more food than my cat and go to less when he loses some weight. 3/4 cup dry sounds like alot to me. I would NOT give the cat Temptations treats!! My vet specifically said do not give the cat any other food while on Hill's Metabolic or it will not work! The cat can have catnip (the real thing - the plant either fresh or dried, not catnip treats). For a treat, I give my cat some of the measured dry food (part of the 1/3 cup). I divide the 1/3 cup by 3 and feed her dry 3 times a day and wet/canned twice a day. Good luck!

I am fostering an over weight cat for an animal shelter. He has been put on a special diet by a vet. He started the diet 2 weeks ago, weighing 20.4 lbs. I took him for his first weigh-in yesterday and he has actually GAINED 2 pounds. How can that be? The diet he is on is 3/8 cup Science Diet metabolic diet dry food plus 7/8 of a can of Science Diet metabolic diet canned food. That's his total food intake for the day.
I have a neutered female overweight scottish fold cat and need to overcome the weight problem. I used to feed her Hills Metabolic but it is not available anymore in Turkey so I need alternative ideas.
After cat fight & treated at vet with Covina, rabies, anti inflam shot, my indoor/outdoor cat recovered indoors for 3 weeks. He started going outside again in a limited way. He gained weight. About 2-3 pounds. He is getting a tummy. Pics attached. His diet (per day) is free eating Hills Science dry perfect weight chicken, 2 to 2.5 (3oz cans fancy feast, (about 1/2 can at a time when he requests) & occasionally cooked chicken meat. Any suggestions how to loose weight / diet ? Thanks
Best low-carb wet food for cats?
Right now I am feeding mostly pate cans of Fancy Feast - 4 cats - 6 bowls and I feed separately to one who is old and I do this or she would never get any. My vet wanted my one cat Kahlua on a Hill's prescription G/D diet hard foot so I leave that out for free feed. This has brought her lab values back to normal. They are becoming fat. Is it okay to continue like this? Thanks.
I feed my cat Hill's Prescription Diet k/d Early Support Chicken Canned Cat Food, and order it from chewy.com, but the are out of stock and vet doesn't carry it. She has only 10 cans left. Is there any other place to get this food quickly?
My male cat recently had cytene (not sure of spelling) crystals. The vet said he needs to eat Hill's Science Diet canned food. My cat is 15 pounds so that means I would have to feed him two cans a day at a cost of over $100 a month. Is there any other food that I could give him. Plus the fact Hill's has corn and corn gluten in it.
I recently asked how I can help Minnie loose weight because she is 13 pounds, and my response was to put her on a Science Diet metabolic weight management diet. My responder said it had good outcomes with his previous patients, but was he talking about the Hill’s Prescription Diet Metabolic Weight Management Dog Food? And if it is, is there a specific flavor that is best to use for her weight loss plan? Also, I live in Arizona — with terrible heat. I was told to walk her 3-4 times a day. Can I?
I am putting my cat on a diet to shed a few pounds (he is around 18lbs right now). I am going to give him "Hill's Science Diet Adult Perfect Weight" canned wet food. My question is, how much of the canned wet food should I give him per day? Half a can in the morning and then the other half in the evening? These are 2.9-oz cans. I want to do what's best for him. I hate seeing him overweight and unhappy. Any advice you can offer would be so so great, as finding info online is very hard. Thank you.
My cat was almost two he was diagnosed w/FLUTD and had crystals in his urine. He had a perineal urethrostomy after being diagnosed. He was originally on hills science c/d and s/d but that became very expensive. He has been one Purina One urinary tract health dry food for about 1.5 years and has had no urinating issues. I want him to lose weight (18lbs) & don't know if his wet food should be urinary or weight loss focused and what his dry food should focus on since I'm doing a mixed diet.
One of our male cats recdently had a blockage and we had to take him to emergency. We got there in the nick of time, he was going into kidney failure! Naturally he now has to be on special prescription food. The Hill's c/d he doesn't like at all. The Royal Canin he tolerates but will hardly eat it. I always try to mix something else in but it's just a chore to get him to eat now and the poor guy is hungry. He does love Royal Canin's dry SO food and treats. What else can I feed him?
My cat is in Hills M.D. and insulin. Is there a commercial canned food that would be good as an alternative? He has been on insulin for 2 yrs, is there a chance he will not need it,
