Customers say

Customers overwhelmingly praise this prescription diet for delivering measurable weight loss and improved health in cats, with many reporting drops of 5-10 pounds and increased energy. Reviewers highlight that vets recommend it and note benefits like better digestion and resolved constipation. Most cats readily accept the food and remain eager to eat, even picky eaters adapting within days. The small kibble and chicken-based formula appeal to pets. However, many customers express frustration over the high cost, and a small number report their cats stopped losing weight after initial progress or refused the food entirely. Despite cost concerns, most consider the health results worthwhile.

Best Cat Food

I have switched all my adult cats to this after a bad experience with another top brand. They love the taste and have no more tummy problems. The bag is also resealable and holds up to my curious cats who like to paw at the cat on the bag!

My cat loves this food. When he hears me pour it in his bowl he comes running to it. I like that it controls his weight. His coat also looks great. Great cat food from a great pet food Brand.

My babies love the texture, small enough for them to munch. They love them so much, it's good for their digestive, preventing from throwing up 💖💖

Have had all of my kitties on Hills Science Diet for years! While they may be a bit more expensive, the quality and benefits are worth the extra cost!

Yes, I recommend this product.

How to choose between Hills Weight Reduction and Hills Metabolic dry food for an adult (8 yrs old) male cat that needs to loose up to 7 lb?

    how many calories are contained in each cup of food?

    1. Thank you for your question. Each cup of our dry Prescription Diet Feline r/d formula will contain 265 calories. Hill's Pet Nutrition



    My cat weight is 14 lbs. I give her The AMT of food for a 10 lb. Cat and split in half morning and night I hope this works. Is this the correct amount ?

    1. Yes, 1/2 morning and evening. If she is too hungry, give her a little more at each feeding. You don't want to cut her to short right away, it works better if you reduce the amount of food over a week or two so she gets used to getting less.



    Are they only supposed to be fed this once based on their serving per the bag?

    1. The amount listed is a daily amount. I split it in half and give mine 1/2 in the morning and the other half at between 3 and 4 PM. You start with the weight reduction serving amount, and then when they achieve their ideal weight you feed them the maintenance amount. I have 5 cats and 3 eat this and love it and have lost weight on it. You have to preserve and not give more food, or it won't work. My guys even get 5 Temptation Treats a day and do fine. But no more, and no table food either. It feels good to see the weight come off and how much more playful they are. I won't feed them anything else now. This is their food for life. Good luck!!



    Could you post the moisture content of this food for people that want to calculate dry matter . Thanks

    1. The moisture content is: Max 10.5%; 105g/Kg.
