Questions
Any chance I can get a standing discount for my service dog? He's on instagram: @bigbentripawd and is registered with my county as a service dog.
Is this good for very senior dogs
I am trying to find out the calorie or kcal information on your Hills Prescription Diet Metabolic Dry Dog Food. The "Live Chat" on Petco's site couldn't help me. My dog is diabetic and I need to know this information
- It’s on their website but it won’t let me paste a link. Go to hills pet.com and look up the food by name. It gives you the complete list of ingredients and caloric content. It’s 260 kcal/cup

How many Calories per cup does this food have?
- 225 calories is what we figured per cup for our Australian Shepherd.
Helpful?
Does the metabolic weight management food contain any GMO ingredients?
- Thank you for your question. At Hill's we use select ingredients to formulate our products with your pet’s health and well-being as our top priority. While some are curious about GMOs, which we use in the U.S., and Hill's feels confident about the quality and safety of all of our products. Hill's Pet Nutrition

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?
My vet Recommend Hill’s prescription diet for for 14lb dog who is overweight. Is there another more affordable option for her ?
We are trying to get my dog to lose weight and they have recommended science hill, what type of their food would be better? Light, perfect weight or is there any other? A lot of fat we would like to burn! TIA
My 2 yo Lab/Ridgeback is 86 lbs yes overweight and has a urine ph of 5. I have her on grain free Taste of the Wild venison/buffalo 2.5 cups daily. Without spending $80.00 for a 17 lb bag of Royal Canin So , what dry food or treatments might you recommend for Rylee?
I have an 8 year old female Min Pin / Rat Terrier mix who is about 6 lbs over weight. She’s currently on Hills Science Diet Youthful Vitality, but her vet said she should be on a grain less low calorie food. What do you suggest? I’d like to keep it in the Hills line if possible, unless they don’t have that kind of option. Thank you.
My terrier mix (DNA pic attached) turns 1 today (estimated birth date-she's a rescue). I feed her Hills Science Diet large breed puppy formula-I would like to transition her to a new food. She is mildly overweight in which she is active but her hips are probably not as defined as they should be. She currently weighs 68Ibs. I would like to transition her to Taste of the Wild Salmon. She goes on x4 25 min walks a day. Is this a good food to help her maintain a healthy weight and be active? Thanks!
BEST DOG FOOD FOR LOSEING WEIGHT
70 lb mix breed with soft stool feeding him Hills I/D helps a little but still not normal
I have a Bernese Mountain dog who weighs 94 pounds. He's 4 yrs old and doesn't like to run and play. I am looking for a weight management food which will help reduce his weight without drying his skin.. I've tried a couple of weight management brands in the past but it dried out his skin and caused itching and dandruff. Please help. Thank you!
Dr. Hinson, since blue buffalo has a lot of calories and my male’s weight is steadily increasing (as expected because he is still growing) what food can I use to keep his weight under control because if I leave one cup of kibbles (each) out for them, I’m lucky if they finish it within three days so it’s not like I’m over feeding them plus they get daily exercise so I guess what I’m looking for is a kibble that’s grain free and can help feed my male enough but not get overweight.
hello my dog is one yr old chi/jack russel mix and was recently put on mendroxle she is done her meds ten days n while one meds she was put on a low fat diet prescription hills. she has lost alot of weight. now she needs too be weaned to another dog food because she was only too be on hills while she was on meds. i need help choosing a good food that would be healthy and good as well as too put weight on fast. lso inexpensive is hoping
The vet prescribed Duke Hills weight loss and mobility food because he is significantly overweight (10 year old chihuahua pug mix) I know I’m supposed to feed an amount of food based on his ideal weight but the vet didn’t tell me how much he should weigh.
