m/d® Feline
Weight reduction for overweight cats and insulin control for diabetic 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 help cats effectively lose weight and maintain normal insulin levels.

FEEDING GUIDE
Daily Feeding Guide:
Helpful Tips
- These amounts are a starting point only. When feeding for weight loss, determine the amount to feed based on your pet's target weight rather than the current weight.
- Your pet may need less or more food and amounts should be adjusted as needed. If you are unsure, ask your veterinarian.
- With your veterinarian's approval, mix increasing amounts of your pet's new food with decreasing amounts of the old food over a 7 day period.
- Keep fresh water available at all times!
- Prescription Diet® m/d® Feline is available in canned and dry. Supplementation with other foods is unnecessary and may decrease the effectiveness of the food. When using with canned food, decrease the amount of dry food to avoid overfeeding.
- Use only as directed by your veterinarian, the expert on your pet's health needs.
- To prevent suffocation, keep this plastic bag out of the reach of pets and children.
