Hill's® Prescription Diet®
r/d® Feline Weight Loss- Low Calorie

Weight reduction for overweight cats

Almost 50% of the pet population is overweight. Even a little extra weight can lead to serious health problems. Extra weight reduces play time, impacts mobility and affects the general health of your cat. Factors contributing to weight gain include age, lack of exercise and overfeeding.

Many commercial pet foods are loaded with salt and fat, which improve the taste but also have dramatic effects on your cat's weight and overall health. Along with frequent physical exercise, choosing the right food plays a very important role in helping cats reach their proper weight.

At Hill's, nutritionists and veterinarians have developed clinical nutrition especially formulated to reduce cats' body fat by up to 20% in three months, while keeping him or her satisfied.

Feeding Guide

Daily Feeding Guide:

Important Feeding Information
These amounts are a starting point only. Determine the amount to feed based on TARGET WEIGHT rather than the current weight. Your cat may need less or more food to safely lose weight. Adjust as needed. If you are unsure or if you are not feeding this product for weight loss, ask your veterinarian.

Mix increasing amounts of your cat's new food with decreasing amounts of the old food over a 7-day period. Prescription Diet® formulas are available in a wide variety of dry foods and treats for your cat's unique needs and canned foods with delicious flavors your cat will love. When using with canned food and treats, decrease the amount of dry food to avoid overfeeding. Supplementation with other foods or treats is unnecessary and may decrease the effectiveness of the food.
Keep fresh water available at all times!
For best results, have your veterinarian monitor your cat's condition
To prevent suffocation, keep this plastic bag out of the reach of pets and children.

This product is ok. When I first began giving this prescription diet food to my two cats, they seemed to lose a little bit of weight and I thought we were on the right track. It has been nine months and they eat only prescription r/d (1 cup a day each is allowed, but they do not eat the full amount) and they are not losing any more weight. I am very disappointed because they still need to lose weight AND it's very expensive food. May 16, 2013

Lexi approves of the flavor. We have an overweight cat named Lexi. In Hills Prescription Diet r/d dry cat food, we have found a lower calorie, high nutrition option about which we feel positive and she actually likes. In fact, she likes the food so much that she crawled into an empty bag, seeking the last, tiny bit of food dust that might still be there. See the picture below. Despite feeding her less, she is fairly satisfied (i.e., she does not pester us for food at night). This cat food does seem to be helping Lexi to shed some weight, but it does appear that this will be part of a progress of getting her to a more appropriate size. Hill's coupons do make the this food much more affordable, but not every veterinarian accepts them. April 11, 2013
